Serayah

The morning I woke up to was intense and nerve wrecking.Today Rafa have decided to make the public conference.And knowing this country well,They respect the monarchy well enough to know that if a member of the royal family makes a decision to do the public conference they know it is serious.

But honestly I am more nervous to know what rafa was going to speak off.But I know her and I know she wouldn't let any uncomfortable and private matters know.But I couldn't help but think would she lie of neymars condition?.

Davi and I sat on the brown leather couch eating our toast of bread as we watched the live footage of what was going on the public conference room area."Mumma where is aunt rafa?"He asks and I now notice that rafa is indeed running late,I could only hope she didn't run away."Don't worry honey,she is just running a little late."I console him and he drank his hot chocolate as we continue to watch the scene of just basically an empty podium.

"Announcing The Arrival Of Her Royal Highness Princess Rafaella Of Evenline."Her presence was announced as I watch as she walks with grace and just a little bit of confidence-It was her walk.The iconic walk that is known as the Rafaela walk.Evenline was the title given to her by her parents.Evenline is a small state in Nivite in which rumors have said that the queen have conceived rafaela while on holiday with the king in evenline.

I liked that Rafaella's choice of dress is a bold Blue.A symbol of mourning but strength,her hair is fixed to the side and her make up light but with a very bold red lips.She start to fidgets with the paper in her hands as she looks at the the cameras and the people infront of her.

She took a deep breath."I stand here today not as a princess but as a person."She started and gulped in nervousness.She folds the paper in her hands and passed it to one of the advisors that was standing behind her.

"I thought I could read all those words.Those words that I'm meant to say.I thought I could stand here and address you with words of strength-Words that I stay up all night to come up with.In fairness I don't even know what I want to say."She said and smiled a little.Her eyes showed all emotions as she stood there trying to remain composed.Holding back the tears that I could clearly see coming.

The room fell silent.As she looked at her hands.I know exactly what she must be feeling.
"But really what do you say in moments like these?"She asks and broke into a small sad smile."How can you come up with words at  such a difficult time like this?"She asks and she looks down.And I could see her wiping off the tear that had managed to escaped.

She drank the glass of water infront of her as she tried to keep up her posure.Scott immediately went next to her side and looked at her with a look that I know so well.She nodded at him and he again walked back to the sidelines.

"I'm sorry.I am totally failing already aren't I.Sera would kill me."She says and I smiled a little.Amused that she tries to make this intense conference a little lighter by self depreciating herself."I'm already showing weakness.I'm really going to have an earful from her later.Sera I know you're watching,I'm sorry!"The room laughed as she gave the camera her 'sorry' smile.

The room fell into silence as the princess look at her fingers once more."Neymar was never an intense person.He was always-well the most annoying brother I know and it is not because he is my only brother but he generally is the most annoying person I ever know."The room again erupted in laughter."If you think that because he is running the country he isn't  trying to scare off my partners then you are very wrong."She continues "Everytime I have brought a guy home.He always.I repeat always try to scare them off telling them lies and of course the classic embarrassing stories of  me when I was a young child."She continues as I cracked a smile because that was very true and again the room fell into chuckles.
