".You talk a lot for a woman moreover for a beautiful woman ."
"You speak highly for a pirate nonetheless for a captain ."
"Nothing seems to be true then "
"Appearances are mean to blur the authenticity of our soul . Don't you think ?."

The first string of the awakening sun made its way inside the chamber through the close curtains. This fragment of dawn announced the end of the darkness and in the same way , the end of the female's slumber . The peaceful atmosphere of the luxurious chamber was troubled by hastily footsteps behind the double-wing door . Nevertheless, it didn't disturbed the sleeping figure muffled,drowned in an ocean of sheets ; untill a soft knock could be heard from the exterior of the chamber . The sound resonated through the ebony door and the luxurious furnitures then it reached the lady's ear . A soft growl escaped her rosy lips showing the annoyance and the sadness waking up represented , it mean the end of her beautiful dream and the beginning of another day in this reality.
"My lady , it's time to rise and shine (sorry I couldn't hold it back) like the sun ", the ebony maid voiced opening the door with a tray of delicious and appetising food . The strong local accent could be heard as she spoke.
The woman inside her ocean of sheets still didn't open her eyes . This caused the black woman to change her way of approaching the young lady . Her steps halted in front of the left part of the bed where the lady's face was oriented .
"My lady , there is chocolate in the breakfast of this morning ", the woman say with a light smirk on her face. At prononciation of a specific word, the young lady opened her magnificent blueish grey eyes as a small smile ornated her soft features . Her maid really knew her person well even if only 4 month of habituation separated their meeting to this day. As a cat she stretched out her body after being motionless for the past hours and pushed the heavy sheets to sit on her bed . The maid then put the tray on her mistress thighs . The lady began eating her breakfasts as the black woman opened the curtains and the windows to let the dawn and the fresh air make their way inside the chamber .
As the maid was preparing the lady's garments for the day , the eating woman diverted her to admire scenery in front of her through the windows . The view of Port Royal never seemed to unfazed her even if she was miles away from her homeland , England . She missed sometimes her home but the exoticism of this Island always seems to tarnish this idea . This was very unexpected for a lady of her birth and status to be in a tropical island but that's how fate make her arrangements. Her arrival on this island is only due to her father's work in military especially in navy . His newest job given by the king was to unsure the security in the British colonies by visiting it and enhancing defences against the enemies.
Her father was earl Stanford , a powerful noble but also a very renowned military man . Whereas her mother was lady Alexandra Tolstoy, a high russian noble woman . Both aroused admiration and respect from their peers . From their union , they had two children : Victoria Eliza Georgiana and Samuel Augustus Nicholas , her older brother inherited the charms and the intellect of their father to the extent that they could be considered perfect doppelgänger today if only the age wasn't an important matter . On another side , Victoria inherited all their mother's charms such as beauty, cunning, intelligence but also stubbornness. Such great qualities for a person but meant to be hidden beyond the mask of flirtatiousness and elegance with a high amount of hypocrisy. This duplicity is the only result of high society standards and mores that expect the female gender to be pleasant for the eyes of the world . The intelligence and sharp mindedness for a young woman could only be referred on this time as an obstacle for a good arranged mariage.
This game of hiding the truest version of herself was a thing she had to do everyday to the eyes of the world . Only the blood of her blood seems to acknowledge her behaviour regarding her interests and way of thinking. This voyage seems to be the best opportunity to ease on off the pressure of her false identity and experience one of her deepest desire : freedom . The freedom of behaviour according to her mood , the freedom of exploring the vast world surrounding her own , the freedom of being herself simply . This exotic destination could only be the garden of Eden for her.
Suddenly the voice of her maid echoed inside the lavish chamber disrupting the young lady from her thoughts .
"My lady , which dress do you want to wear today ."
"The grey one seems to respect the expectations of today's activity ", the caucasian woman answered still eating as she slightly glanced towards the black woman . This didn't restricted her from directing again her eyes to the windows. A small frown creept its way on the maid's face .
"My lady isn't this dress a little bit to simple for today's event. "
"What are you trying to implicit about today's events Borbora " , the young woman voiced restricting herself from eating the rest of the meal from the tray set down on her thighs .
"My lady , today is the ceremonial for the triumphant return of commodore Norrington from the sea battle of Havana . Your father especially asked for you to be more than appropriate for this ceremony ", the black woman answered with her strong accent. "You know , your father this morning said to me that I have to make you more beautiful than the flowers ornating the garden . If you're asking me my lady this only mean one thing from a parent ...", the woman continued with a devilish smirk creeping up on her strong features . And suddenly, the maid was brought up short in monologue with the sound of the opening doors .
