Chapter 1 – Welcome to Court
Sasha Banks smiled as she rode in a carriage on the way to the court of King Hunter Hearst Helmsley. She rode with her two best friends, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. The three were on their way to be ladies in waiting to the king's wife, Stephanie. But they would more so be ladies in waiting to the king and queen's three daughters, Princess Aurora, Princess Murphy, and Princess Vaugh.
This is how it all started:
Stephanie smiled as she watched her three daughters chase after each other in the garden on the castle grounds. She was proud to be their mother. They were very kind and caring. They took care of each other like sisters do. Even her youngest daughter would help her older sisters when need be.
Stephanie then had a thought. Her eldest daughter, Aurora was almost ten years old. In just a few years she would be entering into her womanhood. Then shortly following her, her sisters would be as well. Up until that time Aurora, Murphy, and Vaughn had been under the care of governess. Stephanie didn't want that for her daughters anymore.
Stephanie had an idea. She wished to discuss it with her husband. As luck would have it, he was on his way toward her.
"Your majesty," Stephanie said, bowing to him.
Hunter smiled at his wife. "Hello my dear," He said, holding his hand out to her. She took it and walked over to him. He brought her hand to lips and kissed it. Stephanie smiled, bowing again.
She then turned her attention to her daughters. "Girls," She said.
Aurora, Murphy and Vaughn looked over at their mother. They saw their father. The three quickly went over to him and bowed to him. "Your grace," They said.
Hunter smiled. "Come here," He said, kneeling down.
The three happily went over to their father. They all shared a group hug together.
"Go back to playing," He said.
"Thank you," The three said.
"Catch me in you can, Aurora," Five-year-old, Vaughn called to her older sister. "You too, Murphy."
Nine-year-old, Aurora and seven-year-old, Murphy chased after their younger sister. The three all laughed.
Stephanie turned her husband. He smiled at her. "Shall we?" He asked holding out his arm.
"We shall," She smiled as she placed her arm into the crook of his arm. "How are matters today?" She asked as they began to walk.
"Nothing for you to worry about, Steph," Hunter replied. "If there was something to worry about you would definitely be someone to know. I never want to keep you in the dark with anything that would put yours and the girls' safety in jeopardy. Alas there is no danger to you or the girls."
"Very good. But I have a sudden matter I wish to discuss. And it involves the girls."
"What would you live to discuss?"
"I have had a sudden thought and in just the last few minutes."
"What is your thought, Stephanie?"
"I wish for our girls to not be under the care of a governess anymore. Aurora will be ten in less than a month. But then in a few years she will be on her way to womanhood. I would like to have some young ladies look after the girls. Perhaps be big sisters to our daughters. I would wish for them to take control of the girls' studies. I will not take away their tutors. But the young ladies would make sure the girls' lessons were done upon the arrival of their tutors. Plus, the young ladies could even teach the girls themselves.
"But also with Aurora approaching womanhood in these coming few years I would like her to understand what she will go through. I know she will have me. But I think a younger lady than me would be a great comfort to her. My mother had actually done the same for me."
"I love the idea," Hunter replied, looking at his queen. Stephanie smiled. He returned it. "Now is the task to find the perfect candidates, yes?"
"Yes, candidates. Let us think about the daughters, cousins, or nieces of our lords."
Hunter nodded. He thought for a minute. "How about the Duke of Natch?"
"Ric?"
"Yes, his daughter, Charlotte."
"Oh, yes, it has been a long time since I have seen her."
"Me as well. I don't know why Charlotte doesn't come to court with her father when he is here. But Ric also has two other ladies under his care. They are friends of Charlotte. In fact, I have heard young Finn Balor is acquainted with one of those ladies, Rebecca Lynch."
"Duke of Natch is still here isn't he?" Stephanie asked.
"Yes, but he wishes to return to his estate tomorrow," Hunter replied.
"Great. Then we have time to discuss with him the matters of our daughters."
"Very well. Let's go inside and I shall send for him."
Stephanie smiled. She turned the governess of the girls. She asked the governess to bring the girls inside and to their chambers.
Stephanie and Hunter then headed inside.
Richard "Ric" Flair, the Duke of Natch was conversing with a few of the young men at court.
"His majesty the king and her majesty the queen," A page announced.
Everyone bowed as their king and queen entered the room.
"Lord Flair," Hunter called.
"Yes, your grace?" Ric asked with a bow.
"Please come speak with me and my wife."
"As you wish." Ric walked over to his king and queen. He gave Hunter a bow. As well as Stephanie but then a kiss to her hand.
"Thank you, Ric," Stephanie said.
"What can I do for your majesties?" Ric asked.
"I wish for my daughters to no longer be under the care of the governess, but a few young ladies. Perhaps your daughter and her friends."
"What tasks would be daughter and her friends be of server to the princesses."
"Well, Princess Aurora will be a ten in a few weeks. But I realized in a few years she will be into womanhood. And I wish for a few young ladies to help her come into her womanhood. I wish for them to be big sisters, if you will, to not just Princess Aurora but also Princess Murphy and Princess Vaughn. They would also make sure they kept to their studies and lessons. But I still wish for the princesses to have tutors for sure."
"As you wish your majesty. I would love for my daughter and her friends to serve you and the princesses."
"Tell me about Charlotte's friends," Stephanie said. "Rebecca Lynch and the other young lady?"
"Sasha Banks, your majesty. Rebecca has the nickname of Becky. But both girls are great girls. Charlotte enjoys their company so much. Finn Balor knows Becky. He comes to my estate to see Becky."
Hunter nodded his head.
Ric smiled. "But yes, I can assure you my daughter and her friends would be perfect to serve your majesties and your daughters."
Stephanie and Hunter smiled.
"Please bring Charlotte, Becky, and Sasha to court, your grace," Stephanie said.
Ric nodded. "I would be happy to." He bowed.
Hunter and Stephanie smiled at him.
The Flair Estate
Sasha laughed as she played cards with her two best friends, Charlotte Flair and Rebecca "Becky" Lynch. Charlotte was losing to her friends.
"Not again!" She said.
Sasha and Becky laughed.
"Charlotte, my sweet?" Ric called his daughter.
"Papa," Charlotte called back. She got up from the table.
Ric smiled walking into the drawing room of their gorgeous manor. He walked right over to his daughter. She met him half way. He gave her a big hug.
"I missed you," Charlotte replied.
"I missed you too, darling," He replied. They pulled out of their embrace. He kissed her cheek. "I have some exciting news."
"What?"
"The king and queen have asked you to come to court."
"Really?!" Charlotte asked with excitement.
"I have offered your services to them for looking after the princesses."
"Don't they have a governess?"
"Yes, but the queen has a new job for a few young ladies."
"A few young ladies?" Sasha asked, quickly jumping up from her. Becky did the same thing.
"Awe, yes, Sasha and Becky. You two are asked to come to court as well. I have offered all three of your services to look at the three princesses," Ric said.
Charlotte exchanged looks with her friends. They all grinned at each other.
"When do we leave, Papa?" Charlotte asked looking at him.
"In a few days. I need to take care of some things here and then I will head back to court, but with you three in attendance."
"Thank you, Ric," Sasha said with a smile.
"You're welcome, sweetheart. I have a few letters from a young man for you Becky. And some for you as well, Charlotte. But before I give them to you, I want you girls to know that some new dresses and shoes are a must for you coming to court."
"A new dress to look my best to reunite with Finn. I thank you, Ric," Becky said.
"You're welcome, as well." He pulled some letters from his pocket. He handed one to Becky. She smiled and took it. "And for you, Charlotte, sweetheart?"
"From Sami, Papa?" Charlotte asked.
"Yes."
Charlotte smiled. She took her letter.
Sasha smiled as both her friends sat down to read their letters. Becky's friend, Finn Balor, who she had known since childhood was at court, but he came to visit Becky a lot. A few times when he came to see Becky he brought one of his best friends, Sami Zayn. Charlotte had talked to him nonstop the first time he was there. When he was to return to court with Finn, he asked Ric if he could write her letters. He was fine with it.
"My dear, Sasha," Ric said.
"Yes?" Sasha asked.
"Perhaps there will be a young man at court who you will like as much as Charlotte and Becky like Sami and Finn."
"Maybe, my lord. But I will me most happy to serve the king and queen. I cannot wait to meet them and their daughters. "
"That a girl," Ric said. He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Now it was a few days later and Sasha was on her way with her friends and Ric. Ric rode horseback for the journey. The girls had wanted to ride horseback, but Ric insisted they rode in the carriage.
"I can see the castle," Charlotte said."
Becky and Sasha turned to look. They got super excited.
The three all perked up in the carriage. They looked at every detail of the castle as it kept getting bigger and bigger.
"It still looks so big as a full grown woman," Charlotte said. Her friends laughed.
The carriage went through the gates of the tall wall to protect the castle. Soon the carriage stopped just a few feet from the main entrance of the castle.
Ric dismounted his horse as a groom had hold of the horse's reigns. Ric thanked the groom. He then walked over to open the carriage for his daughter and her friends. Charlotte moved to get out first. Ric held onto her hand as she climbed out. She was followed by Becky. Then finally Sasha climbed out. Once she stood outside the carriage, she took a look at the castle. It was so big.
"Welcome back, Natch," A page said, bowing to Ric.
"Thank you," Ric said. "Come along, girls."
Sasha and her friends followed Ric inside the castle. The three followed him to the king's rooms. When they reached the rooms, the guard at the door let them in. A page opened a door and announced Ric with the girls. King Hunter entered the room. Ric and the girls bowed to him.
"Welcome back, Ric," Hunter said.
"Thank you, your majesty," Ric replied. "Allow to present my daughter, Charlotte."
"Your grace," Charlotte bowed.
"Lovely to see you, Charlotte," Hunter replied. "Thank you for coming."
"My king and queen needed my services and I am happy to serve."
Hunter smiled.
"And this is Rebecca Lynch," Ric said.
"Your majesty," Becky said, bowing to him.
"Welcome and it is Becky, right?" Hunter asked.
"Yes, your majesty."
Hunter nodded. "Then you must be Sasha Banks?"
"Yes, your grace," Sasha said, bowing.
"Welcome as well, Sasha. I am very happy to have you ladies take care of my daughters. Shall I take you to meet my wife and daughters?"
"Yes, please," Sasha said. Charlotte and Becky agreed.
Hunter nodded. He told Ric to walk beside him. Ric told the ladies to follow.
Sasha, Becky, and Charlotte were excited as they walked through the castle and to the queen's rooms.
The king and Ric walked through a door. The girls heard the page shout, "His majesty the king." The three walked into a grand sitting room. They saw a beautiful woman standing with three little girls. The king and Ric stood aside.
"Your majesty," Ric said. "I would like to present my daughter, Charlotte, and the other two ladies under my care, Rebecca Lynch and Sasha Banks.
All three girls bowed to the queen and the princesses.
"Good afternoon, ladies," Stephanie said.
"Your majesty," The three said.
"Welcome. Let me introduce you to my beautiful daughters. This is Princess Aurora, Princess Murphy and Princess Vaughn."
Sasha and her friends bowed to the princesses.
"Girls, Charlotte, Becky, and Sasha are going to be looking after you three for your father and I. Remember what we discussed earlier today," Stephanie said.
"Yes, Mama," Aurora said. "Right, Murphy and Vaughn."
"Yes," The two youngest princesses replied.
"Great. How about you all talk and get to know each other?"
The three princesses nodded their heads.
"Come on over, my ladies," Stephanie said.
Sasha and her friends walked closer to the princesses.
"I love the color of your hair," Vaughn said to Becky.
"Thank you," Becky said.
"And I love yours as well," She said to Sasha.
"Thank you as well," Sasha said. "You know we are not just going to ladies looking after you. We are going to be like older sisters to you."
"That would be nice," Aurora said.
Sasha smiled. She and her friends talked with the princesses for a while and they all looked forward to spending more time together. Sasha and her friends looked forward to taking care of the princesses.
There were rooms made special for Sasha and her friends since they would be looking after the princesses. They were all excited to be at court and to serve the king and queen by looking after their daughters. However, the king and queen also wished for the ladies to enjoy the court life. They knew Charlotte and Becky had young men at court who would like to see them and the ladies wanting to see them as well.
The three ladies got cleaned up and into new dresses and shoes to make their debut at the court. Charlotte and Becky were so excited to see Sami and Finn. Sasha was happy for them.
Seth Rollins stood talking to a few of his friends. They were discussing everything that was going on at court and what they heard about the goings outside of the castle walls. His attention was taken elsewhere when he saw the Duke of Natch walk into the room with three young ladies.
"The Duke of Natch has just entered," Seth said. "And he has some young ladies with him."
Sami Zayn and Finn Balor's attention was turned away from him. He smiled. He saw his friends walk away and toward the Duke of Natch.
Seth watched as Finn took the hands of a girl with orange-red hair and kissed them. He knew that was Becky Lynch. The girl Finn had known since childhood and who he hoped to court in the near future. Then there was Sami taking the hand of a girl with a blonde hair. He knew that to be Charlotte Flair, the daughter of the duke. But the other girl with them must have been Sasha Banks. He had only heard of her in name. But as he looked at her he was taken aback. Sasha was beautiful.
Sasha smiled as she said her hellos to Finn and Sami. She was always happy to see them, because they made her two best friends happy. But also they were very nice gentlemen who loved to talk with her. They considered her their friend, because the ladies they were interested in were her friends.
"Would you like to meet our friend, Seth?" Sami asked Charlotte.
"Yes," Charlotte said.
"We have been dying to meet him for so long," Becky said.
"Well, come over with us," Finn said. "You too, Sasha."
"Thank you," Sasha said.
Seth saw them all coming toward him. He smiled as his friends came up.
"Charlotte, this is Seth Rollins. Seth, Charlotte Flair," Sami said.
"It's lovely to meet you at last, Charlotte," Seth said, taking her hand.
"Thank you," Charlotte said, giving a bow to him.
He smiled.
"Seth, this is Becky. Becky, this is Seth," Finn said.
"Pleasure," Becky said.
"You as well," Seth said.
"And finally this young lady here is Sasha Banks," Sami said. "Sasha, this is Seth."
Seth smiled. Sasha smiled herself as she caught sight of Seth. Seth grabbed onto her hand. "Very nice to meet you, Sasha," He said, as he kissed her hand.
"And you as well," Sasha said.
Seth let go of her hand. He continued to smile at her. She did as well, but blushed.
Charlotte and Becky saw a spark between Sasha and Seth. They whispered to Sami and Finn. Sami and Finn looked between their friend and Sasha. Seth had a huge smile on his face.
"We have so much to talk about, Finn," Becky said. "I can reply to your letter to me in person."
"As you wish, Becky," Finn said. He held his arm out to her. She placed her hand in the crook of his arm and then the two slowly walked.
"I want to hear what has happened since you wrote me my letter as well," Charlotte said.
"As you wish as well, Charlotte," Sami said.
Charlotte looked at Sasha and she stepped away with Sami. Sasha smiled back.
"It is really nice to meet you, Sasha," Seth said.
"And you as well," Sasha replied. "I have heard such nice things about you from Sami and Finn when they have come to see Charlotte and Becky."
"Yes, Sami and Finn talk highly of you as well when they come back."
Sasha smiled.
"So you are here to look after the princesses? Is that correct?" Seth asked.
"Yes."
"I thought they had a governess. I remember the king and the queen talking about reports from the governess about the girls."
"Yes, well, the queen wishes for her daughters to be under the care of young ladies. We are to be older sisters to them. The queen wishes for Princess Aurora to be prepared for womanhood when she shall enter it in a few years. It's an honor to look after the princesses for King Hunter and Queen Stephanie."
"Yes," Seth said.
Sasha smiled.
"Well, now that Becky is here, Finn will more than likely as the king and the Duke of Natch to court her. He does have to ask the Duke of Natch, doesn't he? She has been under his care for so many years."
"Oh, Ric already knows Finn will be courting Becky. And he has already talked to his majesty about it. Finn will be able to court Becky when he says he is ready. She doesn't know it yet," Sasha smiled.
"Oh, you are definitely a courtier now," Seth laughed. "You are gossiping."
Sasha giggled. "I am. But it is so exciting. There was never much excitement at the Duke's estate. The only excitement came when Finn and Sami would visit. We would all have fun together or the four would go off on their own. Then Charlotte and Becky would tell me about their time with Sami and Finn. You know young girls dreaming of things."
Seth smiled. "But now you're at court and dream as well. Anything and everything can happen here. Just don't do anything that will disappoint the king and/or queen."
"Oh, yes, and there will be pressure on me, because I am looking after the princesses. Oh, dear."
Seth chuckled. "I think you'll be fine."
Sasha smiled.
"Sir Rollins," Someone called.
Seth and Sasha turned their attention to a page.
"His majesty the king wishes to see you," The page said.
Seth nodded his head. "I apologize," He said to Sasha.
"There are no need for apologies when his majesty or her majesty call for you," Sasha replied.
Seth smiled. He took Sasha's hand and kissed it. "Welcome to court, Sasha. I hope to see more of you."
Sasha smiled.
