"Good Morning my Princess" said Nora as she walked into Wura's room as she closed the door behind her.
"Good Morning Nora" said Wura as she smiled as she looked at Nora, she had woken up early today once again.
"How was your night my princess??" asked Nora as she looked at Wura.
"Well it was good Nora… just like any other night" said Wura as she smiled, she could not complain at all, she had slept well, and she had woken up early as she was thinking on many, many things.
"And how was your night Nora??" asked Wura as she looked at Nora.
"It was very good my princess, thank you for asking" said Nora as she smiled slightly which made Wura smile too.
"Shall I prepare your bath my princess??" asked Nora.
"Yes Nora… please do that" said Wura as she smiled.
"Alright My princess" said Nora as she bowed and she left to prepare Wura's bath as Wura sighed, she was going to have to get used to this sooner or later.
…
"Hmm this is odd" said Liam to himself as he walked into the dining room and he sat down at the dining table, he was the only one here.
"Did Lady Diwura sleep late last night?" he asked himself as he shrugged off his thoughts and he poured himself some hot tea, was it only him, or was it getting colder and colder each day?
"Good Morrow your highness" said Wura as she walked into the dining room and she bowed and she sat down.
"Good Morrow Lady Diwura" said Liam a he turned to look at her and he smiled.
"Where is his Majesty??" asked Wura as she turned to look at Liam, as she noticed that Alaric was nowhere to be found.
"He should be here soon" said Liam as he noticed that Wura never wore anything too extravagant, just like yesterday, her dress today was just plain pink with long sleeves and yellow ribbons on the hem and on the waist of the dress, and her hair was packed neatly in a bun, so that no hair fell on her face at all.
"I see" said Wura
"Yes" replied Liam.
"So how was your night Lady Diwura?" asked Liam.
"It was good your highness" said Wura.
"Although…" said Wura as she paused.
"Although what??" asked Liam as he sipped his tea.
"I found the temperature in my room… a bit too hot" said Wura as she turned to look at Liam in annoyance.
"Oh is that so?" asked Liam as he smiled subtly and he feigned ignorance, well one more thing he had to know about Wura was that she never forgot anything, he did not think that she would come to him and complain about the temperature in her room, and yet here they were.
"Yes that is so" said Wura as she was annoyed that Liam was pretending that he had no idea of what she was talking about at all.
"Your highness, I do remember telling you that the heat in my room was just fine" said Wura as she smiled at Liam in annoyance.
"And I can assure you that I did nothing against your room" said Liam as he smiled.
"I just asked that the heat in the Castle be increased due to the snow last night" said Liam as he smiled brightly at Wura.
"Mhmm" said Wura as she did not believe Liam at all.
"For some reason your Highness, I can not seem to believe you at all" said Wura as she shook her head.
"And why is that so Lady Diwura?" asked Liam as he smiled innocently at her.
"I can not tell you why that is so, less I be punished for my thoughts towards you" said Wura as she returned his smile back to him.
"Then that means that your thoughts towards me are not good" said Liam as he smiled.
"Oh your highness, that is not all" said Wura as she smiled at him.
"It seems that you really do not like me" said Liam as he sipped his tea.
"No your highness, that is not it at all" said Wura.
"Oh really??" asked Liam.
"Yes, the truth is that I truly despise you" said Wura as she smiled and Liam smiled at her, the fact that she had the confidence to say that she despised him and she did no even seem scared of him at all was just very funny to him.
She should have been glad that it was her that said such, if it was someone else, they would be punished for saying such against the Prince, but well she was his betrothed and she could say anything that she wanted to say.
"Ahh I see that you two are taking to each other with such love" said Alaric as he walked into the dining room and he saw that Wura and Liam were smiling at each other as if they were fully immersed with each other, and they could not see anything or anyone else at all.
"Good Morrow your Majesty" said Wura as she stood up from her seat and she smiled as Alaric as she bowed.
"Good Morrow Father" said Liam as he stood up and he smiled.
"Good Morrow to you my children, please sit" said Alaric as he sat down.
"Thank you your Majesty" said Wura as she smiled as she sat back down and Liam sat down too.
"I am sorry for keeping you both waiting" said Alaric as he smiled.
"That is alright father, we were just having a… civil conversation" said Liam as he turned to Wura and he smiled at her and she smiled back at him in annoyance.
"Hmm civil conversation indeed" said Wura to herself as she scoffed, they both knew that they had a war going on between them.
"Oh I can see that my son, you both look so immersed with each other" said Alaric as he smiled.
"Your Majesty, immersed is really not the word" said Wura to herself as she scoffed out loud without her knowing and Alaric and Liam both turned to look at her.
"Is something wrong my dear?" asked Alaric as he smiled.
"Ah No, No your Majesty" said Wura as she smiled quickly and she face-palmed herself mentally.
"It is just that, immersed is a huge word to use, I did not think that we appeared that interested in each other" said Wura as she smiled.
"Oh but my dear, it appeared like that to me" said Alaric as he smiled.
"But if you do not think so, it is no problem at all, you both are still very young" said Alaric as he smiled and Liam smiled too.
"Father there is no need to worry" said Liam as he smiled as he sipped his tea.
"Besides the wedding is in three days" said Liam as he smiled.
"Oh yes, which reminds me, my dear, your wedding dress, is it ready yet?" asked Alaric as he turned to look at Wura.
"Ahh well your highness, the Seamstress Lilia, assured me that she would drop by the Castle to deliver the wedding dress tomorrow" said Wura as she smiled.
Liam observed the fact that Wura did not say 'my wedding dress' but rather 'the wedding dress', which meant that she still had doubts and that she was not sure about this yet.
"I am glad, that means everything is already put in order" said Alaric as he smiled.
"Yes Father, everything is" said Liam as he glanced at Wura briefly to watch her reaction.
"So now all that is left is to wait for the day that is approaching soon" said Alaric as he looked at Wura.
"Yes your highness" said Wura as she smiled at him, even though her hands were fidgeting underneath the table.
"Oh dear, silly me" said Alaric.
"I have been talking all this while, and you have not eaten yet" said Alaric as he laughed to himself.
"Please do not mind me at all, you may begin to eat" said Alaric as he laughed.
"Thank you your highness" said Wura as she smiled and she ate her food.
"My dear, you are already family, if you ever sense that I would go along with my babblings, you are more than welcome to begin to eat, like Liam does, as he is used to me already" said Alaric as he laughed, he could talk a lot, so much so that he could forget the matter at hand, and Liam was used to that, so he would often just eat and watch Alaric go on.
"You do not have to wait for me before you eat" said Alaric as he smiled.
"Thank you your majesty" said Wura as she smiled at him as Liam ate his own breakfast.
"Oh you are welcome my dear" said Alaric as he smiled and he began to eat his own food.
"Oh and that reminds me, I have something very important to discuss with you both" said Alaric.
"Alright what is it Father??" asked Liam as he looked at his father, and Wura looked at Alaric with curiosity of what it was that he wanted to discuss with them.
