"Great Waters Julie! Why didn't you remind me of today's ceremony?!" Odette cringed at the burning sensation of her white tail started to creep up quite rapidly. She reluctantly ignored it as she knew the loud screeching of her damned mother will be the more of a pain when she realizes her daughter snuck out. Again.
"Madam your eighteen you should be able to remember important events by yourself. Shoot I should be only taking care of Yemen and Yael the moment you turned fifteen!" Despite being forty years her senior Julie easily sped past Odette.
"I'm so dead..." In a sharp turn, Odette swam her way to large reef "Julie, you keep on going I'm gonna take the short cut,"
"Short cut?! Your Highness!"
"Julie. Go. That's an order, not a suggestion" the elder woman shivered at her lady's long hard stare. Bright silver eyes staring back into her dull grey ones despite being the runt of the family Julie knew good and well that Odette is not someone to be trifled with too long.
Runt or not she is part of the royal family rightfully so,
To the servants at least.
Julie sighed not a strict bone left in her old withering body as it seems "Just make sure you there in time! You know what happens to you if you embarrass Queen Fifitri!"
"Yeah yeah grounded for life I know, go before the second head nanny notice that you're absent!"
"Be careful!"
"I will!"
The deeper she swam the cerulean waters slowly turned into an eerie navy blue. It became harder to swim as the pressure started to limit her already slow speed.
"Where is it... Wasn't it just here!?" In a panic, she furiously shuffled through the cold grainy sand until she felt the smooth hard metal of the door between her scaly fingertips. Frantically she punches the door open and rushes her way inside the long moldy pathways.
Odette felt more stupid than usual today. She can already see the faces of her older siblings laughing in her face hell maybe even the young ones might be in on the joke. "Hell, how am I supposed to get dressed?" then she slowly smiled "I can just blame that the servants were too slow to dress me, ah I'm such a genius" Maybe just maybe she

"You are the most idiotic person I have ever met in my entire life"
Odette nervously twiddles her fingers making sure to avoid eye contact unless not in the mood for her to start screaming at her. It was already bad enough that she isn't yelling at her.
"It is Masian Tradition that the youngest sister will give the oldest her blessings before they become ruler of this land." Fifitri wrinkling face hardened, staring icy daggers at her daughter "Yet you couldn't even do that."
Odette shivered at her gaze, even though she has always seen that gaze her entire life it was never less terrifying than the last one. No matter who old she was.
"But mother you don't understand Maud-"
*SLAP*
"There is nothing to understand"
*Sassy cape flip*
It stings
The entire left half of her face feels like it needs a facelift.
"You are to retire to the eastern wing and stay there for 4 months you will restudy Masian etiquette and continue your studies until further notice do I make myself clear?"
"Yes"
"Good now go clean yourself"
Lmao kms - Odette
