Williams POV
***

I walked back to my Guest chambers and pushed open the doors a little more violent than necessary, norman turned around a bit startled, as soon as his eyes met mine he relaxed. I watched him place a plate down on the table. As I walked closer, I could see that it had pork chops, green beans, and mashed potatos on it. Next to the plate stood a tall glass of.. Milk.. It looked like milk.

"Norman, couldn't you find anything a little bit stronger then milk?" I huffed annoyed.

"Your mother told me not to give you anything of the sort, she doesn't want you roaming around the castle babbling on about drunken nonsense.."

"I don't go roaming around the Castle babbling drunken nonsense" I said defensively.

He tilted his head sideways then just shook it as if shaking away a memory.

"Not that you would remember it anyway" he whispered

I narrowed my eyes then shrugged, I guess milk it is. I plopped down on the chair and began eating, I hadn't notice how hungry I was until now. Norman watched me with curiosity for a moment but then stopped, he picked up a few items from the room then turned back to me.

"I have already prepared your bath, and new clothes are laid out on your bed, is there anything else you will need this evening my lord? He asked

"No, you can go." I said to him.

He nodded then went to the door.

"say hi to that servant girl for me won't you?" I asked jokingly

To my surprise he turned around with a unpleased face.

"Her name is beth.." He snapped. But didn't apologize afterwards like I expected him to, he just stood there in dead silence.

"That's right, sometimes I forgot your one of them," I said as I pushed my almost finished food away and stood.

"We are not a deferent species you know." He said angrily.

He knew he wasn't supposed to talk to me that way, but he didn't care. I stood there in confusion, I didn't mean to make norman upset, in fact quite the opposite, it was .just a little tease.

" I will serve you till the day I die, But I swear your arrogance will be the death of you." He said before storming out of the room without another word.

I stood there in shock at his outburst, had I really been the cause of that much anger in him? It must be that servant girl, influencing him with bogus things.

I shrugged as I stood in the room alone,

Cora's POV

I woke up in terror, my eyes flung open and I bolted up in my bed. that dream again, the woman didn't see it coming, she never did. No matter how many times I yelled at her to turn around or to run she couldn't hear me. That man with the blood soaked armor pierced her trough the back with his sword every time, with the same emotionless eyes looking right through me.

I shifted the covers and claimed out of bed, then walked to the bed side table and grabbed the garments beth had laid out for me, after I put them on and brushed my hair, I walked to the mirror. I smiled, beth really knew how to make you look good. I saw my reflection in A stylish long red dress that hugged my body tightly, around the waist sat a black silk belt, it tied off in a small ribbon and the excess pieces hung down to right below my knees. The dress had a low neckline that showed off my collarbone nicely.

I was surprise how use to dresses I have become over the last few days, they use to annoying and irritate me to the extreme, but now I only want to bag my head violently against a wall about half the time. I missed the feel of armor against my skin, the feeling of being invincible.. Now I just felt ..like a porcelain doll all dress up for a child to play with.

Beth came in with breakfast, she was surprised that I had already got up and dressed.

"My lady You look even more marvelous then I imagined when I picked that out for you." she said

I smiled then sat down, she placed a cloth over my lap so my dress wouldn't be a victim of my messy eating, then she picked up my old garments and walked to the door.

"My lady, queen Cassidy has informed me that the Taylor's that have been assigned to make your wedding dress have arrived this morning, she will want you to join her as soon as possible. She also took the liberty to send word to your mother, she will also be joining you." She said

Oh mother, if she only new what was really going on, but instead she must be jumping with joy at the thought of her daughter Finley marrying and living happily ever after.

"Thank you beth, will you also be joining us?" I asked

"If that's what you wish"

"Please, I don't want to be alone in a room with Williams mother and mine chatting about silly things I did as a child, and a bunch of woman I don't know, tugging ruff materials against my skin" I complained.

She smiled "alright, I will be there my lady."

"Thank you!" I said then she turned and left.

Williams POV

I woke to the sounds of light knocks on the door, as soon as I yelled come in, norman came in with a tray full of breakfast items. His face wore no anger as it did yesterday. I watched him, waiting for him to start yelling at me at any moment but he didn't, he just did his work in silence. After a while I got tired of the silence and broke it.

"Norman I.." I said before he cut in.

"No need to say anything my lord. I overstepped my boundaries last night, I apologize."

He didn't sound like he wanted to apologize but he new he could not just say things like that to a prince and get away with it, he wasn't the kind of man that would run or hide from his actions, he took full responsibility of what he did and said.

Somewhere deep inside I felt that I should apologize to him, I felt I might of overstepped my bonds when speaking of beth, but that's ridiculous, she's just some servant girl to a rather annoying yet deadly princess, he's better of without her anyways

"Yes you did,"

I sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, norman placed a glass of Orange juice on the bed table beside me, I took it immediately and drank it down, I watched norman walk around the room making sure everything was the way it should me, he wore what he usually wears, a black pants with a leather belt, above that he wore a black and red vest, his arms were both in leather wrist cuff links. His hair in a blonde mess on top of his head, and his eyes looked heavy with tiredness,

"Your mother told me to tell you that you will not be taking princesses Cora courting today" he said

I snapped my head up to Normans hopefully. The wedding must me off! My mother must hate her, my mother is a vary picky woman and in the past I found it a bit annoying but now it made me love her even more! I could get out of this kingdom and back to my life and the way it was, not having to worry about a she devil claiming in through my window and making a squashed tomato out of my face...

Norman then continued. "Today she is to busy with having the Taylor's make the wedding dress"

My hopeful eyes fell shut as my hands drifted over my face ruffly. I guess I won't be going home anytime soon.
