Thread: An Animal's Trust (DarknessEmbraced666 & TekN0!!!)

Relieved that the maid calmed, Seraphina released the womans hands and smiled gently. I know that it is cutting into my studies. But some things can not be avoided and I'll have to get used to it. she replied softly. Especially as I take on more responsibilities around the castle and with the kingdom. After the woman let the princess know that she would inform the tutors, Seraphina offered her a thankful smile and nodded. Thank you. she said before blushing as the maid began teasing about one of her teachers being enamored with her. I'm sure he will be disappointed and you know I hate to disappoint anyone, but eventually he will turn his affections to a woman who will be able to return them. she told the maid. Seraphina knew just as everyone else did, that there were certain standards that the man know she decided upon must meet. As the maid searched for her dress, Seraphina moved over to her vanity table and picked up her brush, running it through her long hair several times, carefully working out any of the knots in the red locks until the maid returned with the dress. Ah, that's the one. she said, a happy smile on her face, carefully taking the dress. It was one of her favorite dresses. The green was the right color for her fair skin and it complimented her red hair and blue eyes perfectly. Yes, I would rather wear it to something more enjoyable, but I must look nice for any meetings with the council. Balls and parties had been a common thing over the years, though it was only in recent years that Seraphina had been allowed to really attend them. Once in a while she had been allowed when she had been a child, but once she'd begun to mature and became a young woman, her parents let her attend more frequently. After the maid left to fetch the princesses breakfast, the young woman smiled and chuckled before hanging the dress on the changing screen that stood in the room. Slipping behind it, Seraphina slipped out of her night gown, draping it over the top of the screen before pulling on her dress. It was a floor length dress with long sleeves and a modest neck like. It was made of light material that was soft to the touch. The color a pale mint green while the hems had golden ribbion lining them and along the skirt and the neckline of the bodice were vines and flowers embroidered with matching golden thread. Her dress fit perfectly. Seraphina looked alot like her mother, having inherited her beauty from the late queen, though the princess had gotten her long red hair from her father but her blue eyes from her mother. Sitting at her vanity, Seraphina began brushing her hair again, making sure it was neat and tidy in case the head maid decided she wished to do something with it. Not long after she heard the woman return and she smiled as she stood. Very well. she said with a laugh after being told that she would have to eat it all before she could leave. The young woman moved over to where the food had been sat and she took her seat. Is my dog out in the kennels? she asked before taking a bite out of the pastry, being careful not to get anything on her dress. Her dog was a beautiful long haired collie that was of the finest bloodlines. It had been a gift from a neighboring kingdom when she'd turned 13. The princess chuckled to herself as the woman began chattering about how close it was to her birthday and she nodded slowly, blushing slightly when she was reminded about having been stuck studying during her birthday. Just don't go overboard with it. she asked gently. She knew that the council will probably want to throw a grand party since it was her coming of age party, but the princess really wasn't sure she was up for such a party with her parents deaths being so recent.
