I am sitting alone in the garden, feeling sad. I feel someone's presence behind me. I can tell without looking back that it is our nanny "Rebecca".
A soft voice come to my ear "Princess Alvia, why are you sitting here alone?" I said nothing. She know everything but still pretending like she know nothing. I hear soft laugh, i pout and crossed my arms.
She start petting my head. "Looks like our little princess is really angry."
I look up at her "Ma, don't call me little. I'm 16 now."
She smile softly." But you are still little to me." Still petting my head.
I open my mouth before I could say something my young brother Ariyan arrive "Sister, I saw our father in the stables. He was choosing horses to go hunting."
"What..." I look at him with shock. I stood up quickly. I start walking towards to the stable. I saw my father King Arik Rosewood. He's petting a brown horse. I increased my walking speed.
"Father."
He turned his head and smile. I stop Infront of my father. "Father you can't just leave me here like this. I want to go with you."
My father cup my face with both hands. He look at me with soft eyes. "This is very dangerous my sweetheart . You will get hurt."
"Father you said that I'll be queen. As a queen I should face danger. Please father take me with you."
My father staring at me. I look at him with pityful eyes. "Please...." He smile and pet my head." Ok.. sweetheart.."
I feel joy and excitement. "I'll be back in 5 mins.." I turned and ran towards castle.
My father smile and murmur to himself " She's just like you my love. Green eyes, face, brave" takes a deep breath...
I enter my room. My maid Katti help me to get ready. Before going out I look at myself in the mirror.I am wearing a brown shirt and loose pants. I have a small knife in my pocket. I always carry that. My maid braided my long hair. My eyes fall on my neck. My mother's pendant . This is made of amethyst. She give it to me before her death. I feel sharp pain in my heart. take a deep breath. I really miss her.
"Princess Alvia...."
I was lost in my thoughts. I came back to reality when I heard my maid's voice. I turned my head to look at her. " Yes.."
"You are looking so beautiful. Especially your eyes. It's green. I've never seen green eyes before. There's no princess as beautiful as you." She said with smiley face. My face turned red. I feel shy. I smile shyly.
"Stop it.. There are so many people who look beautiful then me... Now let's go.. Father must be waiting for me.."
