Christams is just around the corner and not to mention our precious Winter
Break. ^_^
************************************
The crown princess of Ryu paced madly back and forth in her chambers stilled clothed in her silky white under linen. Her hair was tied up in a tight yet messy bun and she left out her bangs to cover her fatigued face. Her usually bright azure eyes were brimmed red from lack of sleep from last nights scenario of the arrival of the Metallium family and Xellos Metallium.
"I can't believe the whole kingdom saw that..that....that travesty." Filia mourned taking a rapid glance at her reflection in her vanity mirror and viewing her tired facial expression that was tinted with a downy pink blush. The blonde clutched the fabric that held her hair and gave it a soft tug and soon strands of gold plummeted down her shoulders. Filia begrudgingly planted her rear on a soft cushiony stool that was in front of her vanity. She grabbed her brush and began to smoothly run it down her hair.
"Might as well groom myself for breakfast." She mumbled remembering she already dismissed her handmaidens in her raging banter. Filia placed down her brush and rubbed the sleep from her baggy eyes as she stood, soon realizing her mistake. Filia slapped her forehead in her stupidity and scuttled over to her wardrobe as she pushed away the incoming of gowns and clothing.
"Grrr...I should have dressed first then brush my hair. It's all Xellos' fault if he hadn't kissed me in front of the WHOLE kingdom I might not have been up all night freighting about it and loose my common judgment in simple matters." She complained pinking out a white gold gown with blanch shoes. The girl began to tug off her under garments and threw them casually on top of her bed mattress not worrying about the mess she was creating in her room that was supposed clean, spotless, and elegant to reflect a princess' nature. After a few seconds the dress was finally clothed on the princess.
"Not too shabby." She announced to herself as she gave herself a look at her reflection and made a small twirl in a giddy nature not noticing the pink blush on her face grow to a small crimson. The princess nodded her head in a approval and made blunt clapping steps towards her door passing her mace that laid still on the floor ever since last night she dropped in there and stumbled to her bed in all her embarrassment. Filia paused at the passage that would lead her into the halls. Her petite hands shakily grasped the handle but they refused to push the door open. Filia frowned at her behaviour and took a deep breath as she took on a stronger grip on the knob.
"I'm acting foolish. I shouldn't hesitate about seeing Xellos and the others. I shall hold my head up high." She preached to herself raising her cute nose in the air slightly and pushing the door open only to run into someone. Filia landed on her butt and her assaulter seemed to have landed on their face. The princess of Ryu pulled herself and noticed the person she bumped into was Xei-Xei, Xellos' baby sister who was dressed in a light violet gown with a red bow attached to the back. Filia held out her hand gingerly and it was accepted with a tiny squawk coming from the distraught girl.
"Heaven and Hell that hurt." Xei-Xei whined as the person she knocked into hefted her up. Xei-Xei stroked her throbbing nose that had a hard impact against the floor and brushed purple strands of hair behind her ear as she looked at the girl who was staring at her. The princess of Lupine smiled brightly as she recognized the person she bumped into and it was exactly the same person she wanted to talk to. Filia blinked as she saw the girls face turn from mild confusion to a content and beaming smile.
"Are you alright Xei-Xei?" The princess of Ryu asked secretly hoping that Xei-Xei forgot what happened between herself and her older brother last night or even better never witnessed what happened in the first place. The violet-haired princess smiled and clutched onto Filia's arm and dragged her back into her chambers. With a thundering thump the door was closed again and Filia was quite perplexed by the girl's sudden actions. "Xei-Xei what are you do--..." The blonde was cute off by the child.
"So Filia tell me what it's like to receive an adult kiss. From my brother no less?" she asked her dark eyes broad with curiosity and excitement as she saw Filia blush red and lower her face her golden bangs covering most of her face from view. The blonde was shuddering and her hands were now grasped into tight fists at her sides. Xei-Xei blinked and lightly tapped a dainty finger on her chin in thought as candle lit and proclamation past her judgment. "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you I just want to know what it's like and were close in age...kind of."
Filia kicked herself in the thigh and looked up at the quizzical princess of Lupine. She took another sharp breath and brushed away her bangs to their former position. "I'm sorry Xei-Xei I don't want to sound crude but I really don't want to discuss that topic if you don't mind." She said in an apologetic tone and was relieved when the girl nodded in understanding. Xei- Xei took a step closer to the blonde she wore a calculating look like she was trying remember something of some sorts. The princess of Lupine emitted a woeful sigh and brought one pale hand to her left cheek.
"Oh dear I should have known that you still resented my brother. I remember Xavier telling me that you two used to fight constantly and you never saw eye to eye on any topic." Xei-Xei reminisced trying to remember the past and it's numerous tales and memories. The violet-haired girl shrugged and took hold of the blonde's hand and began to lead her to the door. "Filia, I know feelings people have for each other don't change easily but my brother isn't that bad."
Filia listened to the girl and timidly dwelt on the idea that Xellos might have matured over the years and he isn't the same smart aleck he was when he was younger. But last nights activities made the princess think otherwise as her and Xei-Xei stepped out into the hall. The princess of Ryu mind soon lingered to breakfast and just how famished she was when her stomach made a sluggish growl indicating it needed to be fed pronto. The two girls both stared at each other in shock and soon erupted into a tiny fit of giggles and laughs. "Sorry about my behaviour but I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Would you like to join me I think they should be halfway though breakfast in the dinning hall."
Xei-Xei released her hold on the princess and shook her head. "I already had breakfast and I'm afraid you already missed out on breakfast." She explained as Filia's mouth gaped open in surprise. The girl raised her index finger and continued. "You see in my kingdom we start the day early and were aren't accustomed to eating breakfast so late. So your father ordered the cooks to make breakfast earlier. And since you were still in your chambers we had our meal without you."
Filia's shoulders sagged and she heaved a heavy moan as she looked down the hall in disappointment. "I hope the cooks have some leftovers or maybe I can have an early lunch." She contemplated as she started down the hall noticing that Xei-Xei was going in the opposite direction. "Shall you be joining me?" she asked hoping for some company but the girl merely shook her head as she took a few jumps and one small hop down the hall.
"Maybe later I want to explore this castle a little further I can't really remember it since the only time I came here was when I was just a mere babe." She called as she e gave a small wave and bounded down the hall mindful of the priceless and foreign artefacts and glimmering suits of armours donned with lethal equipment. Filia gave an elegant wave and her stomach roared in anger that it needed to be fed.
"Alright, alright." She soothed as she waltzed towards the kitchen hoping that the endeavours of last night would be long forgotten her. Filia straightened as small wrinkle in her dress and felt the presence of another but as she turned around she saw know one except the guards at the eastern corner but they had their back to her. Also they were disciplined to know to never avert their eyes to gap instead of watching their area. The princess shook her head her hair swaying from left to right in a smooth motion as she continued her way towards the kitchen.

Just as the princess thought the people were hustling and bustling to spread gossip and ludicrous rumours about her and Xellos being in love and shifting the wedding to be a week earlier. "Preposterous. Rubbish." She growled as she bit into a flaky crescent and gulped down a mug of peppermint tea, her personal favourite. But with all those crazy rumours going around the tea tasted bitter and left an awful sting on her tongue. Filia's ears quirked to head cook's shrill voice as it rapidly began to speak.
"Yup, I knew ta princess wud start takin a real fancy to da Metallium boy. I sa hearin tat the wedding might be brought up to tomorrow an tat their deeply in luv. I tell ya." He said slurring his words in his original hickish style of dialect indicating her originated form different parts. The chef straightened his apron around his large stomach and continued his listening deeply entranced in his words not noticing the seething princess behind them. Filia growled and began to march away in her anger fighting the deep urge to tell the chef off and all his insane rumours about her and Xellos. "They don't know anything, how dare he spread rumours like that." She hissed raising her crescent to her mouth. The princess stuffed the pastry in her mouth and diminished the thought of talking to parents. She needed time to be alone and think all that's happened to her over. Her ears quirked again and the hairs on the back of her neck raised. "Whose there." She ordered as she whirled around and saw no one. Filia placed her hands on her hips and shook her head. "I'm loosing all my marbles but I juts know someone's been watching me." She whispered as she went towards the main doors to leave the castle and go to the forest.
****
The blonde took off her shoes and lay solemnly on the ground. The grass playfully tickled her face and feet as she was once again gazing at the clear blue sky with just a few puffy clouds floating mindlessly sky as she brooded over her troubled thoughts. "Silly, me and Xellos in love. Were just caught in this mess because of our parents." She murmured to know when in particular as she heard a fish jump from the water and make a small splash rapidly submerging itself in its depths. The girl's thoughts drifted back to the kiss and embrace that Xellos gave to her last night and how his eyes seemed to lock with hers. Filia turned to lie on her side not hearing or probably ignoring the crunching of grass of incoming feet as he closed her eyes.
"I mean he should never kiss a woman like that especially a princess. That fool and he is so...so..so" she stumbled for words as a blush stained itself on her cheeks not aware of the young man watching her in amusement his grin growing wider as she tried to recover her sentence. "So...stupid with those weird and creepy amethyst eyes.
"Actually most people like the colours especially women they think it's very mysterious." A voice stated as the princess sat up, opened her eyes and turned around knowing exactly who it was. She raised her arm and pointed a finger at him.
"Xellos!" she shouted in surprise that he was actually listening to her bantering and that she never saw him coming to boot. He nodded his head in her accusation his bangs covering his closed eyes. He was dressed again in black slacks but he removed his armour and only wore a white sash with a black chest garment. Filia tried to hide her blush and rubbed her cheek with irritation. "What are you doing here?" she barked taking notice that he was sitting down beside her. He slowly opened his eyes and turned his full gaze on her his view never wavering. Filia blinked and scooted a few centimetres away. "Wha...what's wrong?" Xellos moved closer and locked his eyes with hers.
"I think it's time we had a long talk my dear fiancé." He breathed in a soft voice noticing his soon to be wife's eyes widen in shock and her balance start to waver as she fainted.
