It's has been a couple days since she left and the house doesn't feel much different. I rained yesterday and it's quite humid out today so instead of working on the balcony outside, like usual, I sit inside at my desk with the setting sun from the glass balcony doors coming in and lighting my documents. I finish up and start to get ready for bed taking my cloths of from that day and putting my pastel blue nightgown on. I lay in my bed and feel my heavy eyelids pulling me in to sleep.
"Daddy?" A young me says.
"Yes my little foal," says my father a tall and muscular man, whearing his daytime ropes with his crown on top of his head. He doesn't always wear his robes and crown, but today was my birthday and we were going to announce it at town, and spend the day there. I rarely got out of the castle so I didn't really have that many friends.
"Why is Mom so pushy about me getting married?"
"Well.., Mommy wants what's best for the kingdom, and having you marry will mean you don't have to do all the work by yourself."
"Oh" I looked away for a moment to think ", and if I don't mind do I still have to be married?"
"How about we make a deal?"
"Hmmm, ok"
"If you get married daddy will get you a special gift ,and have lessons on work with daddy instead of a teachers"
" deal!" The little me says brightly.
A loud knock echoes in my head waking me up. My head throbs with a morning headache. Since I don't really have dreams when I do I wake up with head aches.
"I'm up, stop making such a racket!"
"I'm sorry princess but today is the day you mother comes back."
