The sun had just started rising as Amellia poked her head out of the satin sheets. 'Five oclock in the morning...' she thought as she sat up. She was wide awake so she couldn't fall back asleep. She gracefully swung her feet off the bed, and wrinkled her nose when they touched the hard, cold, marble floor.she raised her arms above her head, stretching. Her loose white sleeves slipping from her wrists to her elbows before she dropped her arms. She sighed and blinked slowly.
Her small feet patted softly on the ground as she wandered over to her boudoir, she opened it and looked at the various colored dresses that hung inside. Her small hands caressed the different soft, smooth, and plain fabrics, stopping on a cream colored dress, with sleves that went off the shoulders, and a corset, like all of her dresses had. She lifted the hanger up and pulled it out, bringing it to her bed and laying it down. She also picked up a circlet of light, metal, golden leaves that her father had brought her from Rome, given to him by Caesar himself. She gently wrapped her hand around a thin rope and pulled it twice, calling for assistance. She waited a few moments, watching out the window while sitting on her bed until there was a knock at the door. "Come in, Nadia." She said and smiled, turning around as the dark girl entered. She had thick, dark, very curly hair; deep caramel eyes, and a coffee complection. The girl smiled at Amellia and closed the door behind her. She walked foreward "what would you like my help with, Princess?" She asked in her light voice. She had a slight accent from when she used to live in the deeper parts of Britain. Amellia smiled and blushed slightly "would it be too much trouble to request that you run me a bath? I know its early..." she said softly and recieved a soft laugh and a nod "thats what I'm here for darling" Nadia replied and walked into The girls bathroom.
Amellia followed the girl and hovered at the doorway as Nadia measured the soap and soothing crystals, before she poured them into the running water in the porcelain tub. She turned and smiled "almost ready... do you need... help undressing, miss?" She asked softly, slightly blushing. Amellia nodded slowly, her light skin turning pink around her collarbone and cheeks. Nadia slowly walked over as the princess turned around so the girl could untie the loose cords. She pulled her long, wavy, brown hair out of the way. Nadia's nimble fingers made quick work if the bow and knot around her chest, then Amellia turned around so she could undo the ties around her collar. The princess inhaled audibly and watched the darker girls fingers undoing the complicated knot her other assistant, Asia, had tied for her the past days evening. When the tie was released, Her now loose garment fell to the floor.
Amellia's light blush became darker as the absence of her sleeping dress left her nude except for her baby blue spanks that she used as underwear. Nadia subconsciously moistened her bottom lip with the tip of her tongue. She blinked and slightly shook her head, "alright Amellia, I'll... let you take your bath. Call if you need me, I'll be preparing to do your hair." She said, looking away so her eyes wouldn't rove the princess's body. Amellia nodded and shed her spanks. Nadia walked out and the young brunette stepped into the steaming water.
After thoroughly washing herself, Amellia stepped out and walked into the small glass walled showering stall. "Nadia, would you please empty the bathtub?" She called, hearing an "of course" in reply as she started the stream of water to rinse off. Closed her eyes as the stream of warm water cascaded over her body. She had hardly began saying Nadia's name when she apeared with a smile and a towel for her body. She enveloped the porcelain girl in the light blue towel and led her back to her room. Underwear, a bra, and a chest corset were laying beside the cream dress she had chosen earlier in the morn.
The sun was now bright through the window, halfway risen. It was about nine oclock in the morning. Amellia put on the white underwear and started struggling with the bra. She ussualy wore front clasping bras, which were all in the wash... 'damned back clasp' she thought, twisting it so the cups were in the back, the clasps were in the front. She started struggling again amd Nadia sighed with a small chuckle. The darker girl walked over and twisted it back around. Amellia sighed in frustration and put her arms through the straps Nadia made quick work of the back clasps. Amellis turned and smiled. "What would I do without you?" She asked with a light melodic laugh. "I have no idea, most likely die?" Nadia teased and poked the girls flat, soft, stomach; causing a fit of giggles to erupt from the girls mouth. Nadia smiled and lifted the thin, light, dress. Amellia took it and stepped into the dress and held it in place as Nadia took on the task of the corset. After about fifteen minuets, Amellia was sitting at the stool in front of the vanity, as Nadia braided her hair into a bun. The princess picked up the golden circlet and tucked it into her hair.
"You know whats happening today, right Amellia?" Nadia said softly as she rested her hands lightly on the girls shoulders, her curly hair slightly falling over her eye. One off her delicate hands left the princess's shoulder to tuck the strand behind her ear. Amellia's small smile became smaller still as her eyes flicked from their reflections to her hands, which were clenched in small fists, resting on her vanity table, amidst the brushes and creams. She looked back up to the mirror, seeing that they both were no longer smiling, Nadia's mouth was a thin line and hers a grimace. She sighed softly and slowly nodded. "Its for the good of the court Ame..." she whispered, tucking a flyaway hair behind the girls ear.
Amellia turned sharply with a frown. "I don't care, I'm not going to mary a fae..... theres only one person im ever going to mary." She snapped angrilly. Nadia jumped slightly and frowned. "Amellia you know they're going to make you, theres no point in arguing." She replied sternly, causing Amellia to stand up. "Nadia i dont want to marry this, this 'Collean'!" She cried, grabbing the girls smooth slender arms, "I want to marry.... never mind" she sighed in frustration, letting go the girl and brushing past her, walking out onto the balcony. She leaned her hands on the balcony. Nadia followed cautiously behind a few minuets later, onced she'd calmed herself. "Amellia I-" she started, but the princess interupted "stop. Nadia go find something to do." She said in a soft voice, dangerously calm. Nadia stopped right behind her with a hurt expression. "Yes.... princess.." she said softly and turned, slowly walking out of the room. Amellia sighed and shook her head before putting some shoes on.
At noon, Amellia made her way downstairs, there were people running around and the wind had started blowing. Someone had opened a door to cool the castle. Amellia walked to the door and went outside. She walked out into the court yard and sat on a bench, facing the castle so she could watch the hussle and bussle from a safe distance.
