Sunlight broke through the curtains in the large bedroom. Birds chirped at daybreak. Soft yellow sunlight weathered floors spread beneath. The walls were light pink with gold specks around them. The king-sized bed swallowed Marinette. She laid in the middle, limbs strewn across the bed haphazardly twisted in the blankets on her back. Her raven hair fell around her in waves. . "Duchess, it's time to wake." Her two maids stood beside the bed waiting. They had woken up at six in the morning, preparing for the duchesses daily morning routine which was in two hours. . Anna was the youngest, only a year younger than the lady she attended at seventeen. She was a small girl with tan skin and white hair. . She seemed shy at first but she had a bubbly personality that Marinette found endearing. Her oldest maid, Lily, was many years older than her but they were close since Marinette had grown up with her since birth. She had also been her mothers main maid as well. . Marinette rubbed the tiredness from her eyes and sat up in bed. They helped her slip off her nightgown that was frilled up and messy, as she stepped into the tub they had drawn for her. It was filled with vanilla beans and peach blossoms. They bathed her with fine oils and combed conditioner through her locks. ~~~ This story is going to be a Duchess and Prince AU. It is going to be an adrienette love story that will soon grow into something more. I don't know yet, but there might contain some lines of smut, so if there will be, you have been warned.
