Lady Alexia of Naxen
Lady Alexia was an arresting sight she had long black hair and blue-green eyes. She was about 5'5" tall with a slim figure. For the last few years she had been the student of Numair with her weather magic and healing gift. But now she was to become a lady in waiting to princess Shinkokami as she belonged to one of the most important houses in Tortall and she was not happy. The other lady in waiting from tortall was lady Nania of Queenscove, a girl she actually liked, thank the goddess otherwise she would be long gone. She was now on her way to meet the princess along with lady Nania and was late. If the princess were to bad she would be on her way to Tyra to live with her mother, Queen Cythera. Her mother had recently left her father lord Gareth of Naxen though that was meant to be a secret but nobody was sure why. Ahead she saw the dark haired, green-eyed lady Nania waiting outside. "Hurry up Alex, your late again." Cried Nania worriedly. Alexia soon reached the door and politely knocked on it. "Come in." commanded the accented voice of the princess. Every body in the room looked up when the door opened they were rewarded when they saw beautiful Alexia stroll in. Thayet inwardly groaned, she had told Gary to tell his daughter to act properly. Actually he probably had told her, Alexia never listened to what her father told her. " Hello I'm lady Alexia of Naxen and this is lady Nania of Queenscove," she pointed at the smaller girl who walked through the door and curtseyed. At least one of them behaved properly Thayet thought. Seeing Nania curtsey, Alexia promptly curtseyed to the degree of one princess to another. Shinkokami looked aghast that a lady should not curtsey properly till Thayet hastily explained. " Lady Alexia's other title is princess of Tyra." Shinkokami still did not look very happy but attempted to make conversation. "So lady Alexia what do you think of needlework. "I think it's boring. I prefer practicing my archery, so much more useful." Oh no Thayet thought. "Sometimes I ask the animals to play tricks on people that's when the fun really starts." Continued Alexia grinning wickedly. Luckily for Thayet the bell rang and she ushered everybody outside. "What do you think of your two new ladies in waiting?" Thayet ventured. "I think I'll like lady Nania. But lady Alexia could cause trouble." Replied Shinkokami. "Don't worry I'll have a word with her. If I'm lucky she'll listen to me." Said Thayet.
Later that afternoon Alexia was just about to start getting ready when a knock sounded on the door. "It's open." She called to the person waiting outside. She wasn't very surprised when she saw it was Thayet. "Wondered when you'd get round to complaining about my behavior earlier." She said as she brushed her hair. Even before she opened her mouth she could see this wasn't going to work. "Alexia will you try and behave." Thayet asked tentively. "I'll try, don't hold your breath." Alexia's answer was short and Thayet left knowing that was the best she was going to get. "What was her majesty doing here?" Enquired Alexia's maid, jess who had been doing Alexia's bath in the other room. "Don't know, wasn't really listening." Alexia drawled as she undressed and climbed into her bath. " Think it was along the lines of please behave."
2 hours later Alexia was ready to go she had chose to wear a light pink dress with sapphires, which accented her blue- green eyes, around her neck. A touch of face paint made her look magnificent. Most people said she could rival the queen and they were not wrong. She hurried on to the top of the ballroom stairs where the princess and the other three ladies in waiting waited. "Here comes Alexia, late again." Joked Nania on the other hand princess Shinkokami looked furious. Shinkokami was about to launch into an attack when the herald announced. "Princess Shinkokami and her ladies in waiting lady Haname noh Ajikuro, lady Yukimi noh Daiomoru, lady Alexia of Naxen and lady Nania of Queenscove. They moved down the stairs. Most people turned to look at Alexia and not the princess for she outshined everybody with her. They were quickly introduced to there majesties and were soon asked to dance. Alexia's partner was a 16 yr old called Faleron of King's reach. One dance turned into many more and they had such a good time that Alexia did not notice a boy staring at her from across the room. The boy or man was his Royal Highness prince Roald. He had noticed Alexia many weeks' ago but had not plucked up courage to speak to her, as he watched her and Faleron dance jealousy rose in his throat. He had not even spoken to the lady yet but he was already in love. A touch at his elbow made him turn it was is fiancée Shinkokami. He turned to speak to her making a mental note to speak to lady Alexia later.
The next morning Alexia woke up feeling groggy, why did her body make her drink so much? Jess bobbed in carrying a steaming mug of hang over cure. "I thought you might be needing this." She grinned. Alexia forced herself to drink it. She had a meeting with her father this morning and having a headache would be murder especially as she usually got a headache as soon as she walked through the door of his study. She quickly dressed and blindly walked out the room, banging into a strong body. She stepped back and looked into the blue eyes of the prince. "Hello lady Alexia, I wondered if you would like an escort to your fathers study." The prince inquired. " I'd be honored your majesty." She replied uncertainly. "Oh please call me Roald." They soon arrived at the prime ministers study and Alexia was not sorry to say goodbye. As he left she knocked on the door. "Come in." the person inside called. Uh oh he sounds angry Alexia thought
