Narration/"servants speaking"
Means your "speaking"/writing
Royals are talking
Thoughts
Scrolls/Letters/Mail
I took my journal out of my secret compartment of my suitcase as soon as I was in my carriage and began to write again.
I was in the third carriage; M'Lord, The Mistress and M'Lady were in the first of course- they ARE Royalty. The second carriage held their servants and personal guards. The third held their luggage along with mine, some supplies and myself- though I was the Princess's servant- I was still not allowed to have my hopes up to be treated equal. I didn't mind though..as long as I got there it would be fine. There are also guards that are mounted on stallions that'll walk along side us and a few feet in front. I've been practicing on speaking more of a...higher class...to thy King. I must practice writing it also, I must improve for M'Lord and for the better of the Kingdom. I also heard that it is tradition to speak using the Royal 'we' (XD reference anyone?) in front of others. I MUST learn it quickly. And the trip to Fallacy's castle is good enough. Though I might not use it out in public yet, I don't want to embarrass myself or the Royals. I can't wait to see how this goes.
The ride was quiet so far except for an occasional animal or tree leaves. I looked around the luggage and found my instrument case for my violin and my flute. I don't remember bringing my flute..or my violin. I guess the King wants me to play. I just need to ask him what..
It looks so beautiful outside...the leaves are an amazing red!
.......
I think it's red...after all we are going to a Kingdom of Vampires.......please don't be blood...
After a while we made it to the giant river/lake. A very beautiful sight it is, but a deadly one to swim or be near.
The Serpents Pass. (Ayyy) There are rumors that a mythical serpent lives in this massive thing of water. Only one person has seen and survived an attack, others only caught glimpses of the serpent or died. The only thing that isn't damaged is the bridge to help people across...I wonder why... The creature is said to be around 58 feet long considering it is still young. No one knows how it came about. Out of nowhere it just popped into the air. One thing is for sure is that I hope we are lucky.
We made it! But the water became so uneasy and I thought I saw it! I'll have to ask the guards if they saw it too, though one is missing..I could feel it...but the King said to keep going. I hope for the best of the guard's being. We made it to Lord Fallacy's castle. As soon as I got out, other servants took everything out of my carriage and put them to our rooms. The castle is beautiful. I saw who was missing and asked the guards what happened to Alexander, he was my favorite guard after all- he took care of me and still loved me. Maximus, who is the head of the guards, told me that Alexander forgot something at the castle and headed back on the King's orders right before we crossed the Serpents Pass, said to be back before a quarter to 6. I choose to believe him while he stands in front of me.
But though I'm not allowed to speak my mind....
I can write it...
.....and I don't believe him.....
.....not one bit......
Proper. Polite. Kind. Caring. Respectful. Beauty.
I am....just a servant....nothing more....nothing less...
