In Alysia's room
Queen Odessy: Alysia darling, where are u?
Alysia: Mom, I'm in the bathroom
Queen odessy: alright dear, hurry up nd come join us in the ballroom, ur dance teacher's here
Alysia: mommmm, I don't like dancing! I wanna train with the soldiers!
Queen odessy: ofcourse u will but learn dancing first
Alysia: alright, meet you there later
Queen odessy: bye (leaves)
Alysia: I wanna train nd train, I don't wanna dance. I wish I was a boy
Postinur: common Aly, just listen to your mom
Alysia: hey, poof out of here! A girl needs her bathroom privacy!!
Postinur: Ahahahah, I'm a ghost, I can be wherever I want
Alysia: get out! ( Postinur laughs and disappears) stupid, ghost. Can't let me dress alone. I'm a girl, it's a boy. Stupid ghost!
Alysia finished dressing and left the bathroom to her room
Postinur: (appears) I'm back
Alysia: can't u let me be
Postinur: I'm afraid I can't, little princess
Alysia: I'm not little! I'm 12!
Postinur: still little (walks up to her) cute little princess
Alysia: I won't get angry at you today. Cause I need your help on something
Postinur: what's it this time, Ally
Alysia: I wanna skip dance practice
Postinur: nah, not helping you with that
Alysia: why?
Postinur: cause you're a princess? You need to dance. Plus you're coming of age soon, two years from now
Alysia: who cares about coming of age, I'm not getting married or choosing a suitor
Postinur: you will have to, it's normal. Besides, you would be a queen one day. Or do u wanna rule the kingdom all by yourself? That's absurd
Alysia: that's what I'm gonna do. Rule the kingdom as a queen. Alone.
Postinur: well, u still need to go for dance practice. A queen should know how to dance
Alysia: fine, I will go
Postinur: good girl (taps her head) (enters a maid)
Maid: my princess. You are being called in the ballroom.
Alysia: I'm coming soon
Maid: yes your highness (leaves)
Alysia: you know sometimes I wonder why you're never seen by others except me
Postinur: cause I'm ur knight in shining amor, bound to stay by your side forever(smirks)
Alysia: whatever. I gotta go. Talk to you later
Postinur: sure Aly. I would have loved to follow you but you know, the spirit detector is in the hallway and the hallway is the only way to the ballroom
Alysia: that's understood postinur. Bye(leaves)
Postinur: I will always guide her and finish my business being on Earth. (Smiles) I remember when she was a baby, one stubborn baby(chuckles). Cute though (disappears)
At the ballroom
Alysia teacher was annoyed that's she's late but couldn't say anything because she's the pampered princess of the empire. Reprimanding her might make her loose her job. But Alysia apologized as always and learnt all she had to learn, step by step
Teacher: you are improving, your highness
Alysia: well, thank you. (Smiles)
Dance practice was over. Alysia rushed to change for sword practice. One of her best classes.
She practiced with great passion and learnt new skills. Her sword teacher was proud of her and got great hopes on her.
(Slash, slash, swords strikes could be heard)
Alysia: hi--yah. (Sword flies away) (frowns) no. I almost won. You always get to beat me
Teacher: one day, your highness, you will beat me at sword practice
Alysia: can't wait for that day (both now, a sign of end of practice) goodbye Mr Eric
Mr Eric (sword's teacher) good bye, your highness
Alysia made her way to the hallway and felt a shadow pass.
Alysia: who's there? (No reply) must be my imagination (walks up the stairs to her room)
But on her way to her room, she heard small talks, more of whispers. Seems like two maids were talking but she couldn't hear what they were saying and finally passed to her room
