I open my eyes. My heart pounding in my chest. I lift my head and see that I was in bed in my room.
I put one hand on my heart as if that could stop my racing heart and take deep breaths.
What-what was I dreaming about just now? I can't remember anymore.
I sighed and plopped back down on my bed.
Well, whatever it was must not have been important if I can't remember now.
I closed my eyes. I thought about closing the curtains since the sun was burning my eyes. Even when they were closed.
I lifted my head and stared at the giant window. Hmm...maybe later or someday. I put my head back down.
I said I would think about it. Not that I would actually do it.
I heard a knock at my door and a maid came in.
"Oh! You're up already?" She asked
I grunted and covered my eyes with my arm to block the sunlight.
"I see" she placed the tray of food she held on the table and came over to my bed. "Is there anything I can do for you?" She asked
I uncovered an eye to look at her. "Feed me?"
She giggled and blushed "I don't think I should"
Her name was Greyna. She had dark brown hair that reached the top of her shoulders along with grey eyes. She wasn't ugly but she kinda reminded me of a mouse. She had been my personal maid for about two years now and I'm pretty sure she has a crush on me. I'm not going to lie, I often take advantage of that little detail. Whenever I want to sneak out of the palace, I would ask Greyna to cover for me. Often leading to her getting caught. I never said she was a good liar.
To be honest, she is a bit of a bother. I'm not saying that she is a bad person or anything like that. It's just…
"Princess?" She asked "Is there anything else you need?"
I waved her off "I'm good"
She didn't move "Just so you know, I'll be right outside the door"
"I know"
She hesitated, not wanting to leave. "Don't you want more fruits? Or-"
"I'm fine!" I yelled starting to get annoyed
She bowed and eventually made her way out the door.
Finally.
I get up and dress myself in my usual armored dress. It was long but light. It had a breast plate armor made of gold and was decorated with diamonds and rubies. It wasn't exactly made for fighting. More for just around the castle and visits to the town. Even in the comfort of my own home, royals must keep up their appearances.
After I finished getting dressed, I fixed up my long light blue hair into a ponytail. And voila, I have finished!
I settle down on the couch and eat the breakfast Greyna brought.
I was in my last few bits when I heard a knock at my door. My younger brother, Cielo, bursts through the door. He wasn't known for his patience. His cape, that he absolutely loves, flows in the air behind him. As if it has also been infected with my brother's exaggerated personality.
"Oh my God!" He yells "I need to tell you what happened just now" He flops down on the edge of the couch I was on.
I lay down into the couch and placed my head near him, knowing that this was going to take a while. I wasn't complaining, his stories are usually entertaining. "Hmm?"
"So. I was going to town to find some clothes when I saw this carriage. You know it was something worth my time since I don't care about mom and dad's meetings or anything like that."
I nod.
"Well, this carriage was red" he stops for effect
I nod. Still not knowing what the big deal was.
"You don't get it?" He asked "Our kingdom's color is blue. So why was this one red?"
My eyebrows furrow. "Yeah. That is weird"
"Right! So I stayed behind to see who was inside but the people who came out were covered in black from head to toe. I couldn't see a single speck of detail from them. I don't even know if they were male or female since they all wore long pants and baggy shirts. They even had dark veils over their faces and covered their hair."
I looked up at his purple eyes that we shared which were framed by dark blue bangs. We had the same hair cuts but different color. Dad thought it was cute that we matched so we've kept it the same for a long time.
"Do you think it involves us?" I asked
"I'm not sure. But I'm curious on who they are" he said
We kept talking to each other. We were close siblings but sometimes I feel as if we drift away from each other. It was nice to know we can still talk to each other.
We heard a knock at the door and heard Greyna yell "Your Majesties? The king and queen have asked for your audiences"
Cielo and I looked at each other. Shit was about to go down.
