Chin up, chest out, back straight, cross your ankles not your legs, don't laugh in public, learn how to ride side saddle, don't spend so much time outside, and for peats sake stop zoning out looking into the window. There where so many rules to remember inside the palace that Anieda lost track of them all. Yet for some reason she never got into to much trouble when she broke one. Maybe because the servants were the only ones who caught her flubbing up in her usual princess habits. The servants became her friends as she grew up in such a splendid palace, mainly because they raised her. Of course as a family of royalty it was looked down upon the queen to have children. Amazing how nobody wondered why the queen never showed up for nine months, or when she did she was pregnant. But to see her after that time of period with out a little one around. There was no time in her parents life for her, she was pushed aside, like her other much younger sibling, to raise her and spend time with her. When any family time was spent it was because her parents wanted to raise their social status by showing how good and close with their own children they are at a party or dinner. Little did people realize that they were strangers bonded by royalty and blood. Every time she would walk into her mother and father to talk to him she was always pushed out to go back to her studies with everyone else to actually raised her.
It was enebitable for the young eight-teen year old to sneak out and run out of the palace to see the town in another eye. Her sin of envy only came out as she looked upon the peasant children in the streets with their parents playing, talking, even getting punished for something so silly. Though she really tired to avoid the town as much as possible to avoid confrontation with the people asking and begging for things to be done. So instead she often ran out to the forest, to the typical waterfall, to meet up with her old pal Pip, a bright orange feathered bird who often flew up to her room when she was lonely. See, Anieda was different than the rest in her home town. The servants in the palace told her that she resemble her grandmother with the power that she held. Though she was strictly prohibited from using it, in fear that she would be taken away killed, or used against them only because she could talk to the animals. However they wouldn't be able to hide her gift forever.
After they waited a little to three years to late for her to get married off they rushed to get her out, looking for any eligible prince in any kingdom, near or far to ride of her and get more land. She was now just out side the room where the prince, or rather her soon to be husband, was. Her heart was pounding as she walked over to the door but did her best to play off her timid nervous self as her footsteps lead her closer to the large door. A hand gripped at the cold sticky door knob that wouldn't let her hand go second thoughts ran though her mind and thoughts of what the prince may look like ran though it as well.
