My Prized Possession

~Chapter Four~

Narrator's Point of view

The young princess felt her legs dragging across the carpet floor, feeling the soft cloth beneath her soft feet. Throughout the castle, she glanced at the red walls and came upon a painting while passing by, a family portrait to precise. Upon that painting she noticed the prince and William, beside the young prince there was a young girl, strawberry blonde hair which was put in a French braid that was swept on her left shoulder, she has the most beautiful eyes which is somehow rare for her eyes to be the color of sapphire. (Name) was curious on who this girl was, was she a princess like her? Was she the bride of one of the two princes?. Still in her thoughts she didn't realize that she was pushed into a room, landing onto the rough velvet carpet. The princess felt hands wrapped around both of her arms then being pulled up from the carpet floor. She looked to her sides to see women wearing dark blue dresses, must be the maids she thought. She then heard the man who dragged her into this room said.

"Clean her up, she's filthy and prepare her for the feast tonight? Is that clear?"

"Yes Benjamin!"

Soon after that a loud slamming sound was heard from the door. The maids looked at the princess and then to a specific maid who was wearing purple.

"Put her in the bathtub, she must be ready . We shouldn't waste time, off you go"

The maid in purple ushered as the other maids moved the princess into the bathroom, they removed (Name)'s clothes and exiting the room only for the princess and the maid in purple alone, out of fear and embarrassment. (name) covered her naked body. The woman in purple looked at the princess noticing that she felt uncomfortable.

"My dear, don't need to worry it's only me that will see you naked. Why not hop in the tub and I'll get the shampoo and soap."

"Oh... okay.... um thank you m-"

"It's Marion"

"Um thank you Marion.."

The princess replied as she hopped into the tub that is now filled with bubbles. Marion grabbed a small elixir, popped the cap off then rubbed it onto (Name)'s tangled up locks, gently untangle the strands of her locks.

As soon Marion was finished she then proceeded to scrub (Name)'s dirty body with lavender soap. Normally the princess would feel uncomfortable with that but she is used to being bathed like that by Freida. (Name) stared at the white walls wondering on what did she do or what have she done towards the prince that made him "fall in love with her", she didn't feel the cold water being poured onto her head. With great force she opened her eyes, she rubbed her arms together due to the coldness of the water hitting her skin.  A few minutes of her body being scrubbed and rinsed of the soap that lathered onto her skin. Marion grabbed the soft towel and allowed (name) to step out of the bathtub also to dry her body.

"Now (Name) please put on this dress" Marion said as she was holding a beautiful golden dress"

"But I don't want to wear that, I just want to go home."

(Name) replied as she felt the tears threatening to fall out of her (e/c) eyes. Marion sighed, looking down then looking back up towards the princess.

"I'm sorry my dear but you can't leave, please just put this on and go inside the room after when you are done."

Marion said as she walked out of the bathroom and closed the wooden door of the bathroom. (Name) stared down at the golden dress that was placed into her now soft hands, closed her hands crumpling the mid part of the dress, tears falling out of her eyes. Remembering her family was murdered... her people's lives being taken away... they were just so innocent she thought. Forcing herself to wear the dress, she got out of the bathroom,face full of anger but turned into shocked as she saw the girl from the painting looking straight at her beside the girl was Marion, putting her hands together, the strawberry blond lady smiled.

"Good afternoon, I'm Primrose Walter."

Within seconds Primrose expression changed from serious to happy. She ran towards the princess, gripping her hands making (Name) eyes widened and stared at Primrose with fear and confusion.

"You must be (Name)! My brothers told me all about you! I hope we can be the best of friends"

"Um yea sure.."

"Come on we got to get you ready!" Primrose said with her sapphire eyes gleaming with joy and excitement.

She said while dragging you towards the mirror and forcing you to sit down.

"This is gonna be a long afternoon"

(Name) said as they proceed to make her look good for the feast.
