Chapter 2: Strange Incidents?

...The chattering nobles look up as the announcement goes off...

... “CROWN PRINCESS ISIDORE GIULIANI AND PRINCESS AND PRINCE OF THE GIULIANI ARE ENTERING!” The announcer shouts as people quit talking and look up at the stage when I start to walk to the edge, staring at them from above. My white hair stern in the white secure bun as my dress is lifted up by my two hands as I walk down the stairs while they bow to me in mannerful way....

...(She is looking down at the crowd)...

...I get surrounded by some nobles, mainly young mistresses, duchess’s, and some princesses as I go to a table that they are surrounded at. I sit down at the table gracefully and pick up a teacup that was in front of me....

...“So pretty…” I hear a small voice say...

...“how elegant!” A energetic voice says...

... “Look how pretty her hair is” a youthful voice says ...

...And so on....

...A young girl with brown hair in two curled pigtails and greenish-gray large eyes walks up to me, her face a gentle tone with small freckles on her face, her jawbone a soft contour as there is a pink hue above her cheekbones. She’s wearing a yellow-white puffy dress, the top having small purple flowers with the bottom is bushy with white laced in it. “Hello, your majesty!” She says energetically, bouncing up and down. “I am Helien lotta from the lotta family of the south!” She grins sheepishly making me nod and smile slightly....

... “yes, hello I am Isidore Giuliani, as you know, young lady lotta.” I say in a calm demeanor, looking forward and not moving my eyes to see hers. Another female starts to walk up behind Helien, slightly taller. She has red long hair that’s wavy and goes down to her shoulders with sharp magenta-purple eyes. She’s wearing a silver shimmering dress that flows out and is decorated with jewels near the waistline. The sleeves hanging off her shoulder’s. She bows her head down as she does a curtsy....

...“Hello, your majesty. I apologize for lady lotta and her sudden outburst, I hope it did not disturb you.” She speaks in a calm and mature manner; Making me smile slightly....

...“There is no need, you may rise.” I Explained. At my last statement she stood up again, resting her hand on lotta’s shoulder “I am nielu braon from the broan family of the east.” She claimed as she sat at a seat next to me, lady lotta doing the same on the other side of me. ...

...I Set my tea cup down as I see a familiar face with purple hair coming up to me “Sister? Is there something wrong?” I ask confusion laced in my voice. ...

...“Ah, no I just wanted to join you, I see you’ve already started to talk to the others!” She stated energetically. She sits next to lady broan as she takes a macaroon from the table. ...

...“Understood, sister.” I say in response as I continue to drink my tea. The sweetness lacing my tongue that is laced with warmth. ...

...A plate of vanilla cake is set in front of me making me look up to see a male in extravagant black and white knight garments, his blonde hair pulled into a long ponytail as his red eyes stare at me, his sword perched at his side as normal. “You should eat, your majesty.” He speaks in a warm and gentle tone making me roll my eyes. ...

...“You know, Ezra you don’t have to do that, correct?” I say unamused at him in barely a whisper so only he could hear me. ...

...“Well, I am your personal guard your majesty.” He speaks, emphasizing ‘your majesty’ ...

...I roll my eyes at him again before turning back to the conversation the three ladies were having. I eye the cake slightly before looking back at him, seeing the cheeky grin he has on his face. I scoff, slightly shaking my head at him before picking up an fork and taking a bite out of the sweet frosted vanilla. I try to hide my expression from the delicate and delicious cake he gave me. ‘I don’t want to give him satisfaction’ I think grudgingly. ...

...I feel something soft hold my hand before looking down to see a smaller child, she’s wearing a small puffy blue dress with a hint of purple. The bottom part has cute stars of different colors and sizes with a small bow near the neck line. Her light blue hair in two small buns and some of her hair going to her shoulders. Two long curls in the front and a small ribbon on her left bun....

...“Yes?” I speak softly to her, her wide eyes a orangish yellow captivating color, like the sunrise. “Are you lost little one?” I ask gently. She shakes her head before replying....

...“Your really pretty miss…” her quiet, shy voice speaks back while fiddling with her fingers. ...

...I smile slightly before replying “thank you sweetie, now may I ask for your name?” I say gently as she looks down at the ground, her fingers still laced in mine. ...

...“M, my name? It’s… Lilitha tryuc1… I don’t know where my papa and mama are….” She speaks in a small voice, taking her hand away while fiddling around with her fingers. I suddenly hear a voice besides me making me jump slightly and turn to look at the person, seeing Ezra standing there....

...“Ah- sorry your majesty, but may I ask who are you speaking to?” He asks worriedly making me dumb founded....

...“What do you mean she’s-“ I turn my head back to see nothing there. “What?-“ I question myself. “Ah, never mind then…” I look back to him. ...

...“Are you sure your okay? Would you like to go to your chambers?” I hear Helien say worriedly. ...

...I notice that it’s gone silent around us, I put my hand on my head before speaking “yeah, I think it would be best. I am feeling a bit tired.” I whisper enough for them to hear, reaching out my hand to Ezra he takes it and starts walking me out, supporting my body weight. ...

...Before we leave I turn and do a courtesy “I apologize for the inconvenience but I will be retiring for the night, please continue to enjoy the night with my elder sister and brother watching over.” I raise once again before exiting. ...

...“Hahhh” I sigh as we walk to my room. The moonlight shining through the hall, large glass windows decorating through the entire hall, Short gaps between them to show painting and portraits of our ancestors, families, and home. The blue and silver carpet going from wall to wall, the moon shines on my face, making my eyes shine brighter then normal to other people. ...

...The quietness and the presence of my bodyguard makes me feel at peace before we turn and stop at my door, in a lone hall like the others except it’s only one door, that belongs to me. ...

...I turn to Ezra and nod toward him that I will be leaving “alright your majesty. Have a nice night.” He bows slightly as I walk into the room, closing it behind me. ...

...I sigh in tiredness as I sit at my vanity, removing all of the luxurious jewelry and accessories. I take my hair down letting it fall down my back. I stand up and go to the bathroom. The bathtub already set up and steaming, I conclude the maids came as soon as they found out I was coming. ...

...I slowly slide into the bathtub after taking off the towel on my body. I rest my head against the edge of the bathtub with flower petals in it, relaxing into the warm water my white hair floats on top of the water while the steam covers the room. ...

...After I’m done I step out of the bath, wrapping the towel around my waist as the water drips down my body. The white robe hanging off of one of my shoulders as I dry my hair....

...I get dressed into a light blue nightgown with a robe over me before stepping out of the room, holding a oil lamp In my hand I walk the halls staring at the moonlight mostly. I smile before it gets off of my face almost immediately. ...

...The familiar child that I saw earlier standing in front of me, but more visibly. She opens her mouth before speaking in a quiet voice “hello, I’m sorry for startling you earlier! I didn’t mean too…” she speaks as she rocks back and forth on her heels....
