The Seven rules of a lady!
Bubbles sat on the chestnut wood stool, in front of her mirror. It was her big day, she was turning 17, the age when she had to take up on all the responsibility's of the kingdom, but since she was a girl, all she had to do was act lady like, this may sound easy to anyone but not to Bubbles, she had known how hard being a lady really was since she was 16. She was supposed to wear extremely tight dresses, very high heels, and she had to have her hair untangled all the time! This made Bubbles annoyed, but most of all she could not spend a moment alone outside, she could not play sports and if she was ever outside, she needed special permission and at least 5 body guards with her.
"Curse this life of royalty, I do not wish to be trapped in a castle...I wish to be free and sore like a bird" said Bubbles sadly looking at her reflection in the mirror. "Please do not say so princess Bubbles, you have a life many would wish for, look down at this poor village, do you realize how many of those villagers would love to have a life of luxury as yours?" said her maid Anabelle from behind her. Bubbles looked at her and smiled weakly. "I may have everything my dear friend, but their is one thing that I do not have, and that is freedom.." said Bubbles in a very quiet whisper. "You do not want to go to the village on your own or even with people princess..no you do not know of the dangers that lurk around their, you have always been protected and you do not understand the dangers of reality, now stop complaining and head in the bathroom for your royal bath" said Annabelle strictly.
Bubbles smiled and nodded as she headed in to the bathroom, Bubbles took of her tight gown and heaved a sigh of relieve. Bubbles loved taking baths, it was the only time that she was free of her overly tight gowns. She rested her head on the edge of the tub as one of her servants, lathered soap onto her body and the other one washed her hair. The time of relaxation was soon over, and the time to face hell came yet again. Lady Lunette waited for her by the mirror with Three dresses. Bubbles observed the dresses, all the dresses went down to her ankle, the first one was light blue with a pink flower picture at the very edge near the ankle, he second one was pink filled with ribbons, Bubbles looked disgusted at the sight of it so lady Lunette took it away and the last one, was black with grey lines around it, Bubbles picked the blue one.
She got dressed in the Blue dress and the servants tied it for her from the back, and that was the most painful, Bubbles could almost not breath. When that was over with, they headed over to the dressing table and let her hair loose and tied a blue bandanna onto it. Bubbles picked a delicate silver necklace, a silver bracelet and a gold ring. Bubbles looked at herself in the mirror, at the age of 17 she had grown tall, not too much, and she had deep blue eyes and straight sunny blond hair. All the servants seemed to be acting weird today, giving her scared and guilty looks.
Right after breakfast, Anabelle told Bubbles that she had to meet her father, so she headed into the large room, 8 guards surrounded her father, who had black hair and blue eyes. He looked at her seriously. "We will be headed to the kingdom of the fighters today" said her father, his face cold.
"But father why?" asked Bubbles. "You are getting married" he said quietly. Bubbles eyes widened and her face fell her tone was louder then her fathers for the first time "father how can this be? You never told me! I'm not marrying some prince I don't even know!! I have a right to know about my life father! How could you?" said Bubbles near tears.
"I have no more comments on this!Anabelle take her to her room and make sure that she is in the carriage by noon" said her father coldly.
Bubbles stormed out of the room, and headed up the stairs to her own. She sat on the bed at the verge of tears. "Do not cry my lady" said Anabelle trying to comfort Bubbles. Bubbles shook her head. "You are right, I have no reason to cry, nor you or my father are going to get me married, I will not do it!" said Bubbles as she stood up.
Anabelle looked at her angrily. "Don't mind me saying my lady, but your father is not going to spoil you in riches for the rest of your life! You will need someone to care for you when he passes away, you are a girl, you can not make a living for yourself! Your father is not always going to protect you so stop this childish act!" Bubble shot up angrily. "Mind me lady, but my father has never protected me! It's always those stupid guards! He might have given me tons but I do not want it! What I need is freedom which is something that since I was young I have been told is a word that should not be in my dictionary!" screamed Bubbles.
"Whatever you say my lady, I have no comments on this, the carriage has pulled up" said Anabelle, her eyes also cold. Bubbles wiped of her tears, she was not going to marry some prince, no way no how, one thing she knew though was that for right now all that she could do was play along, for she had no other choice. Bubbles headed down in the carriage and sat beside Anabelle. The horses started to move and soon they were in the land of the fighters, Bubbles did not like it one bit. The roads were stony, tons of swords and weapons were all around, many rough people who scared her, in the far off distance Bubbles saw a humongous and dull looking castle. "The land of the fighters" she whispered to herself.
