I slowly opened my eyes. I yawned while sitting up from the bed. I stretched my arms and rubbed my eyes. I looked at the other side of the bed. Empty. I guess he is training.
"Good morning, Princess. Your Majesty is training right now. It is 7 in the morning at this very moment. Let's get you ready for the day. Your breakfast with his majesty is at 9:00 in the morning. Your classes are at 10:00 am. What dress would you like to wear today?"The imperial maid suggested.
Jeez, lady. I just woke up, and you are already yapping your mouth at me like a personal secretary? Marina was never like this. She just got me ready, and off I went to go with my day. Why are you making a five-year-old choose? I don't care. They are all super fancy and expensive dresses. Just close your eyes and point one out.
"That one? You can choose the shoes and accessories. I usually wear whatever is given to me." I said.
The imperial maid's faces all showed disgust. They were all shocked at my response.
"Princess… you mean… in the emerald palace, you were never given a choice? It is only right they got let go. How dare they not give the princess, the daughter of our mighty emperor, the son of the Giodionvan's gods a choice?! I must bring this up to his majesty. As the head maid of the imperial palace, it is my duty to make your life as comfortable and joyful as possible, Princess." Said the imperial maid with confidence.
All of the maids around her nodded in agreement.
Wow. I really didn't mean to cause a stir this early in the morning. What I meant was that I do not care about what I wear. If I had a choice, I'd like to wear a baggy shirt and sweatpants. What human being would like to wear an expensive dress that weighs as much as bricks?
"What I meant was, I let my nanny choose for me because I love all of the dresses that were carefully chosen for me. They are all too precious to choose. So I told her she can choose for me. You can choose for me too! I would be thrilled if you chose my dresses from now on!" I suggested with a large smile on my face.
The imperial maids all smiled and awed in response.
"What a sweet angel, our princess is!"
"Our beloved princess is the goddess of Giodivonia!"
"Our princess shines brighter than the sun!"
Jeez, can you please stop this flattery? Just bathe me already. Being a princess sure has its cons at times. This is exhausting.
After getting ready, I was escorted to the imperial dining hall.
As I waited for the trashman to show up, I thought about last night. I realized what I said before falling asleep. Oh my god. Why did I have to say all that?! What possessed me to say that so carelessly? 'I don't hate you?!' 'Let's have breakfast and dinner every day?!' 'let's get along?!' Was I drugged?!
"His majesty is now arriving." Announced the butler.
I quickly stood up from my chair and curtsied as he made his entrance.
"Good morning, daddy. I hope you had a wonderful training session today." I said with confidence.
He cracked a smile and nodded.
"You may sit, child." He ordered.
I sat down while I waited for my food.
"How was training, daddy? What do you do at training anyway?" I asked.
"I train in swordsmanship with Ezra, combat fighting with a few commanders, archery training, and lastly, weight training. All important for the war." He explained.
Wow. That explains the ripped body you show off all the time. I'm sure the maids can wash laundry on your abs.
"That is amazing! You must be the strongest and fastest in the whole country, right daddy?" I smiled excitedly.
This is tiring. Why did he have to agree for us to get along? Now I have to bullcrap my way every second of the way.
"Tch, of course, I am. There is no denying that. Why do you think I have to fight several people at the same time?" He bragged.
I can feel the right corner of my lip twitch from the cringe. Okay, calm down, man. I did not say all that just to boost your ego.
Ugh, breakfast was tiring. I had to keep the conversation going. I liked it better when we ate in silence. At least now I have classes, and I do not have to see him for another eight hours. I do have many questions for professor Luca about the Konig people. That Konig jerk really got to me.
I could not really focus on Mathematics and Science since that boy has been on my mind all day. I hope he does not report to the trashman about my lack of class participation today. At least in the next class, I can get answers I have been waiting for all day.
"Good afternoon, Princess. Are you ready for today's History lesson?" asked, professor Luca.
"Professor Luca, may I ask a question that is outside of today's topic?" I asked formally.
He adjusted his glasses and nodded.
"How much do you know about Konig and its culture, education, and the royal family?" I asked curiously.
He suddenly started to cough as a reaction.
"P..princess. They… are not to be talked about. I…"
"Please? If I ever want to know Geography, I need to know about the surrounding countries too, right professor?"
"V...very well. But just for today. What is it that you want to know about...Konig?" He asked nervously.
"Who is the Konig royal family? Do they have abilities like us? Do they speak other languages? Or do they speak the same language as us?" I questioned excitedly.
I can see his facial expression become concerned.
