I heard a nock on the garderobe door. "Princess Aphrodite? Your mother is asking for your presence." A young female servant spoke.
"Leave me"I said." M'lady I cannot disappoint the queen. Come on out"she spoke. I felt bad for the poor girl, i groan."Alright " I said my voice shaking slightly.
I opened the door and she led me downstairs to the throne room.
"Aphrodite" I heard my mother say. "Y-yes mother?" I was terrified. "Where did you go?" Her voice was calm but I could hear annoyance in it. I didn't dare to look her in the eyes. "I told you I was going to the garderobe..."
My mother scoffed but before I could respond. "there are guests coming to our kingdom this evening I expect that you act properly around them." I nod in agreement still not looking her in her eyes.
"Elizabeth!" My mother shouted. "Yes m'lady?" The young servant girl whom got me from the garderobe spoke."get Aphrodite dressed properly."my mother said. "Yes m'lady" she then told me to follow her. I did.
The girl brought me to the changing rooms and helped me into a green dress that fitted perfectly with my long fiery red hair, a silver necklace adored with an emerald hung around my neck.

when we were done she put a crown on me.
we walked to the throne room. my mother spoke "ah yes much better" she smiled and i smiled back.
"the guests will be arriving soon. we will call for you when you are needed, dont go anywhere your knight is training and we would prefer he was by your side if you are ever in a publick place." I nod at her. "Mother do you mind me watch him training?" I asked. "Its alright, go on." She dismissed me.
I walked to the training grounds. they are outside in a little corner of the castle, hard to notice, perfect place for training in privacy.
I arrived outside. I see my knight Persephone swinging his sword at a dummie. He seems to swing it with such ease. I knew myself that swords were quite heavy, so i admired his strenght.
i stood there watching him for a few minutes. His arms where showing and some of his shoulderblades. I watched with facination at how the mucles moved under his skin every time he moved his arms.
i couldnt look away
a little while later he turned around. When he saw me he almost jumped, "oh sorry i didnt see you there" he smiled at me.
"Greetings pesephone, how are you?" I ask. he looks slightly suprised but quickly replaces the look with a smile. "I'm great how about you Appy?" he exclaimed. "Appy?" i question him. he looks slightly worried but keeps the smile on his lips. "short for aphrodite. dont you like it? i can stop."
i smile. "no no i like it" i respond. "so?" he asks. "so??" i look at him tilting my head slightly.
" hows your day been Appy?" he says. "Oh! its been mediocre" i respond "oh well the day tomorrow might be full of adveture!" he shouts. His voice cracks sligtly and it sounds almost feminine. I brush it off and smile at him. "Well im going back to training. See ya later alligator!" he picks up two daggers and starts practicing.
A servant walks up to me. "Miss the guests have arrived. follow me."
