At the head of the grand table that could almost sit 20 people, or as the princess calls it "the grand fUcKiNg table" sat said princess on a very big shiny red chair. The table was shiny polished wood, it had lots of food. choices of, a roasted pig, apple pie cooked freshly from the kitchen, mashed potatoes (a personal favorite from the royal family) served with garlic, fresh sour dough bread  and so much more.

off to the side of the table only a few chairs from the princess was the girl from earlier, Lady Azael.  Lady Azael and Princess sally had been giggling for a bit about the most stupidest things they could think of. "I heard rainy never shows up to any of our plans because she's always sneaking out!!" Azael claimed.
A gasp came from sally. "Sneaking out?! That's not like lady rainy one bit."

Before they could carry on in conversation, The big doors far from the table were swung open, a young man came in. Cleary royalty with his very very expensive outfit going on. He walked so gracefully and  .. lIKe HE wAs NOrmaL-

he made his way to the other end of the table, sitting across from sally by 20 chairs. He gave a smile, "good to see you sally."
Sally could only smile back, sitting taller in her chair. "hello prince snake!"

Prince snake he was?
He fixed his posture as a servant set a plate of food in front of him before she scattered off. " long time no see, how are you my queen?" Snake snickered a bit as a took one of the 3 forks to dig into the mashed potatoes.

Sally seemed annoyed at the thought and word queen. "I'm quite well thank you. First time in weeks have I touched this table. How are you?"  She said, trying to keep her proper gentle tone when speaking. The prince looked up, making sure to swallow his food before speaking. "I'm well, a bit sad about the king's passing because of all the business I must work out about it.. speaking of,"

Sally turned her head away, sighing. Already aware of the entire reason snake was here. He didn't want to visit his little sister figure, nono. He wanted to discuss law and business. Stuff about the court in the castle. New rules to spread in the village and more country's to steal. Like any typical royal series on Netflix

"I came here to talk about your future place at the kings throne. And... what your plan is against, well you know who."

Sally looked back, exhaling violently. "I don't want to talk about anything like that. I want to hear about your love life"
Snake scoffed, stifling his laugh. "I- sorry your a little young for that. I am here to discuss the crown and the longer we wait the bigger the target you are."

She just rolled her eyes. Standing up from her seat, stepping away from the chair and table. "I cant discuss that snake, I'm- well I'm a just a child!!" She exclaimed.
Snake nodded. "Mabye buT you are also going to be the QUEEN for Gods sake."

"That's not my choice."

A thirteen year old child who doesnt even remember her biological parents is expected to make new sessions of parliament, granting royal assent to legislation, and approving orders and proclamations through the privy council? Seems like a lot to ask for from a child.  A female infact, who on earth is asking for a queen without a king?

The prince exhaled utterly. "I understand th-" before snake could even finish his words, sally cried out once again. Loud to be heard. "Did you come here to discuss law shit or comfort me in the loss of my family?"

The prince didnt even hesitate to finish his words, giving the young infant a firm look. "Let me finish, I understand this is a lot, but somebody needs to step up and you know that. i bet the king would want this."
Sally couldn't even reply to that. Did he even care? The princess asked herself.  barely even 3 weeks since the thrown has been empty and so many things are falling down. falling down just like the broken pieces that fell with the king. It seems when he died, a little part of everyone fell with him. 

before anything else could happen in this unwarming conversation, Sally took a few more steps away from the table. Looking her dearest friend in the eyes, her poisonous grimace showed no expression but disappointment. "Thank you, prince snake for accompanying my lady and I for dinner. Your time is over though so you may scramble back to your own castle across the sea to deal with your own problems." She asserted.

All the prince could do was nod, nothing more. Nothing more he could even try to do, that is the future queen of merithsu.
The prince be found from his seat. "I will see you soon."

~~~

It could only be a day after the prince had visited the future queen, 
Which caused the princess to question a lot of things about the broken kingdom. including her safety.

 today we see the princess and her ladies sitting on a long bench outside,
A familiar character we all know was chron!  he seemed to have a sword as he walked in a full circle around a boy (or a man, but he sure was short) . these two were a little bit away from the bench the youths were on. 

lady azael snacked on some grapes and crackers, a healthy snack wow!! so proud :,)
"Rainy we havent seen you in so long, you keep disappearing!"  Azael claimed.
The so called rainy, the only one with black hair and a rosewood color dress gave a nervous smile. "my friend in the woods lives very far, the walk takes too long for me."

The princess, sitting between the two in her royal gown as her jewelry shined under the piercing bright sun. the crystals and diamonds sparkled with pride on her small coronet. "Well, Rainy. you cannot disappear anymore, I have many important things to attend to this week and I would love to have friends at my side.''

"And bodyguard apparently." Azael claimed. "Is that why the kid is training with that Chron dude-?"  Sally fixed her posture, a smile spreading across her face. Excited to introduce  the boy (or man, still dont know. He's so short) "that is, Gailea. He is trying to be a knight.. no bodyguard. cant replace chron so quickly!" The princess glanced over to chron and this Gailea.

Gailea was losing a sword fight to our good 'ol chron,  chrons sword swaying side to side  hitting the Gailea's hands to shoulders and sometimes the steel. Making sure to be gentle because he didn't want to hurt the newbie hAh.
the metal of their swords clinked together when hit,  jumping side to side to back and fourth- you know.. basic sword fighting that i apparently can explain. 

the two men (man or boy, still dont know. the gailea is short) were far enough to not hear the ladys chatter about them.   when chron finally tapped g's chest with the tip of his blade, the two gave up the fight.  Gailea resting his hand on the hilt of his weapon by his side as he offered his hand for chron to shake as he spoke. "usually you are a lot nicer, what happened-" 

chron just chuckled, shaking the mans (oR boy, still dont know!!!) hand. "you are half an inch taller then yesterday, so i am upset." obvisouly he was joking. why would such a wise man be upset over a height lmao.              

"oh- good to know im still growing!" the boy (or man. i will say it again, we still dont know) smiled childishly.  

a typical royal thing to do is to keep walking when talking to keep the chit chat private. and so that is what the two did, chron began walking away from the ladys and the castle further down the dirt path of the garden. a soft breeze blew cooling off the two from their battle not that long ago,  the breeze was enough to blow some of gaileas fluffy dirty blonde hair out of his face, showing a single ocean blue eye and a dark emerald green eye.   how cute lmao

chron placed his sword back in its sheath on his belt. next resting his hands behind his back, ooh how hot.    "charlie sent a letter saying she'll be coming soon from thyerms with the lord chancellor for sally. "  the way the name charlie sat on chrons tongue when he spoke was clear to hear he did  not like this woman. and with the way gailea reacted, he did not like her either.  

gailea gave a scoff quickly after chrons word. "for sally? nono, she is coming because of our cheap wine brand. " gailea said with a stiffled snicker. 

chron shook his head with a soft, "be nice when she gets here please.  she lost a friend just like everyone else here." 

"tch, yeah yeah. no promises. "

before the conversation could continue, lady rainy popped up beside chron with a cheerful smile. "chron, sally wants to discuss some word i dont understand." she spoke, looking at g next. "and you sir, she said there were snacks in the hall for you to eat if you want!" 

the two nodded as rainy scrambled back to the ladys. chron gave a quick quiet, "tomorrow, no flirting with the chancellor-"

"whAt."
