"Your Majesty, you must wake up." I pulled myself up, groaning as I caught a glimpse of an apron-clad blonde pulling my curtains open to awaken me. It was Penelope.

"You ought to get out of this room before Mother kills you and, you wouldn't want that to happen on your birthday." She said as she helped me out of bed and held a white gown for me to wear.

"You must freshen up. Wear your silk gown and, make your way to dining table as soon as you can."

With that being said, she left the room and, I made my way into the washroom. As I slipped my nightgown off, I step into the shower, allowing the hot water to hit my skin. I couldn't help but think about what mother has planned for my birthday. It might be the worst ever this year and, I have no say about anything in this castle, let alone the kingdom.

Growing up in a the castle was growing up in a place filled with just echos and cold air. It was different compared to other castles in any other kingdom. Any other royal wouldn't complain about the position they were in. Heck, no civilian would ever complain about being in my position. Being a princess of the biggest kingdom of all, The princess of Celestina; who would ever complain and I have no right to complain. I am here to please my people as Mother sets orders for all and I have to learn from Mother how to be a proper queen. 

However, I must learn how to tolerate turning eighteen due to its complications. Once you turn eighteen, you must have a coronation ceremony with all the royalties and I absolutely am utterly terrified of the thought of having my coronation. Boys would assume you want to dance with them because they are who they are, Girls would just stare and speak of all the rumours about you or fall for the boys based on how rich they are. It happens at every coronation ceremony I've been to and I am not excited for it to happen tonight.  After thinking about how today will go, I wrap myself in my robe and walk back into my room, only to find my mother and two ladies were there already.

"Mother, what brings you here?" I ask, tightening my robe as the two other girls' eyes pierced through them as if they were able to see me bare."

"Luna, we must make you look presentable today." Mother gleamed with excitement, snapping for the girls who rushed towards me, pulling my robe of and causing me to yelp.

"Mother! I can get ready myself" I whined as I tried to cover my nude self but Mother grabbed my wrist and gripped onto it tight as the two girls where at my gathering pieces to add with the dress Mother picked out.

"You best behave and listen to me, young lady." She grabbed my chin, pulling my head up towards her for the purpose of making eye-contact but smiling at me.

"You will come out here looking like a beautiful princess. A potential powerful queen."
