CROWN PRINCESS
Ani opened her eyes. It was another dreary day outside, another day she wouldn't be able to spend with Falada, feeling the wind wip her hair over her face, and just feeling free...
Ani sighed. Her hopes for the day now gone, she now had to report to her teacher and learn her lessons in Conversation. Ani wondered if Selia would help her, after all, Selia was the one who was always saying the right things, never stumbling over her words.
Ani admired and envied Selia's ability to smooth over awkward situtions, with her skill in speaking, but ani wondered sometimes if Selia ever wanted to be free of responsibilities and all the talk, and just run away, like Ani wanted to do all the time.
Ani would never say this aloud, however. There was already enough talk about the crown princess not being suited for queen; and even more talk would spread about her lady-in-waiting being more fit for the crown than the crown princess herself, and Ani knew such talk would pay her no favors.
