At the Kingdom of Azalon ~The Princess Bed Chambers |

Tossing and turning in her starfish sleeping position, her brows knitted, shaking her head, she mumbled incoherent words.
Beads of sweat trickled down her face into her silk pillow.
*Knock* *Knock*
Princess Aria's eyes shot open at the sound, sitting up on her bed, her hands in front of her in a defensive stance on instinct.
°Where am I?° She observed her surroundings, wiping the drool off her cheeks.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Princess Aria? It is I, Lady Leah, your lady-in-waiting."
°Ah! I see° she nodded in realization, memories flooding back.
°It wasn't a dream?° She grumbled, hitting her bed with her feet.
"Princess Aria?" Lady Leah called once again behind her door. "I need to carry out my duties before you meet with the King." Her muffled words could be heard through the key hole.
