Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right
I spent a long night in my room awake that night. I didn't get any visitors. Well you can't exactly blame anyone for that. Oh well, I was tired anyways.
The next morning was really tense. My handmaiden, Clarisse, helped me get ready. I got a decent dress on at least. It was a nice burgundy color that helped me glow nicely. As I walked out of my room Paige walked/ran past. I really ought to talk to her soon.
I entered the dinner hall and things got slightly quieter. I found an open seat between Char and Paige. Did I really want to sit there? I did. I had to convince Paige that I didn't do anything. I walked over there but that little sneak called Derek over to sit in that seat. That forced me to go over by Ella and Vick, I mean Kevin. Oh great.
"Just don't look at him and he might not speak to you as much," Ella whispered to me.
Boy she should not have told me a more difficult thing to do! I swear that guy is so ugly I couldn't tear my eyes away from him! I sat down and looked over and there was this big, fat man sitting there. He had several piercings and ugly blonde/white hair. He had on mismatching clothes and was about as tall as an elf. He had a high nasally voice as well.
"How are you?" he asked while coughing.
"Fine."
"That's great, just great." he said. This time he talked while sneezing. How can you sneeze and talk at the same time? I ask you…
"Do you know what the word Kyrria means?" he said while wheezing. Really! This guy should take a pill or something!
"I'm afraid not." I was looking at my peas the whole time I was talking.
"Oh that's horrible! I shall have to tell you. Kyrria is a word that the fairies…" I started shoveling food in my mouth so that I could leave.
"Pst! Ella! Can I leave?"
"Well…if you must." She said while half smiling.
"Thank you! Kevin I'm sorry but I have to leave now."
"Oh? Where do you have to go?" Shit!
"I have to, I have to…"
"She has to go and do her studies with her tutor. I am sorry. I promised her Mother she would study while she was away." Ella spoke up. Thank you Ella! You are a lifesaver! But wait, I have to study?!?!
"No problem! I shall have to find her and finish telling her later!"
"So sorry. Goodbye."
"Bye-bye!"
Whew! Glad that's over! Now, where am I supposed to go? Yet again I was asking a maid for directions. I need a map for this fridgin castle!
I entered a large library. It had a lot of books. Well of course it has a lot of books! Duh! Oh well, I grabbed a one and sat down to read. It was a book about Queen Ella. Looks interesting…
I was interrupted about two pages into the book. Some man came in. I guessed it was my tutor. Paige and Derek followed him looking very upset that they had to study. I feel your pain!
"So what do you know so far?" the tutor asked.
Hmm…I know that my best friend here hates me and will not forgive me easily. Oh and that her brother is a jerk. And that Kyrria was named by the fairies or something. Of course I didn't tell him all this.
"Umm, what do you mean? Like what I know about Kyrria or something?"
"Yes, I suppose that would work."
"I know it was named by fairies or something like that."
"Actually it stands for faithful people in fairy language."
"Do you know what Gondola means?"
"It means the travelers, I believe."
I can see that. Everyone in my country has to travel to do anything. Our country is so small we can do hardly anything in it. And I can see Kyrria meaning faithful people. You can tell from royal family alone.
Right at this time a messenger came running in to call us to the entrance hall.
"Your presence is requested by the majesties in the entrance hall, immediately."
"Is something wrong?" Derek asked, concern written all over his face.
"No, there is someone you are supposed to meet there though."
"Who?"
"I am not sure but you must hurry."
We practically ran to the hall. When we got to the entrance hall we saw three people there. We walked over to meet them.
"Children you remember King Dave of Aroythia and his to children Prince Walter and Princess Nicole." Ella said.
The kids looked like twins. They also looked to be about a year older than me. They both had pale blonde hair and pale, delicate faces. They were slightly taller than me as well. Though I hate to admit it but Nicole looked much prettier than me. The strange thing is that their Father has bright, red hair (though he looks to be balding some) a ton of freckles and has a golden brown tan. He also is very tall.
"Yes we remember. Nice to see you again."
"Oh yes, how forgetful of me. This is Princess Andrea of Gondola." I curtsied. Walter took my hand and kissed it. I can't believe I started to blush! I'm not supposed to be like this.
"Call me Ria." I heard myself telling him.
"You can call me Walt." He said. Great.
"Derek can you show me to my room?" Nicole asked Derek.
"Sure!" I heard him reply. Can't he get a maid to show her! Wait! Why do I care?
Paige came charging over and grabbed Walt's hand and said "I'll show you your room."
"Great! Ria do you want to come?" Hmm…Of course!
"That would be wonderful!"
"Great!"
"So why are you here?"
"Our carriage needed to be fixed and we decided to visit you for a while."
"We shall have to have a ball to welcome you. We still need to have one to welcome Ria anyways so it will be great. We can multitask."
"That'll be fun."
"Yeah it will"
We showed him his room finally. He asked me to stay and talk with him for a while. No I have to get Nicole away from Derek! WAIT a minute! He can get rid of her himself. I am not his servant! Maybe he wants to be with her anyways…eeewww!!!!
"Sure. I'll stay."
"Great!"
Paige stalked off. I have got to talk to her soon!
We walked inside of his room.
"How come you look nothing like your Father?" I asked. I was curious and they were much more bold and talkative than any Ayorthians I have ever met.
"Well…Nicole and I were adopted," that explains it, "Queen Yolanda died several years ago. Before she died they found out that they couldn't have children so they adopted us. They would have only taken one of us but we couldn't be parted." He couldn't be taken away from that tramp! Really! What kind of woman will he marry?
"We tried to learn the customs of Aroythia but it was too difficult after being used to other ways. So you can still tell we aren't true heirs. Nicole may seem to have her nose high up but she has a heart of gold. She would save her enemies from death if she got the chance." Hmm…would she really save me?
"So what's your story?"
"My parents are having another child after 16 years of just me. They sent me here because they wanted time alone before the baby comes. I will probably be here for another six to eight months."
"That's nice."
"Yes, it is. I suppose I better go and get ready for dinner."
"But dinner isn't for three more hours."
"I take a long time to get ready."
"Oh I see. Bye."
"Goodbye."
I didn't really go to get ready. I was going to talk to Paige. When I came to her door I knocked. There was no answer. Okay…I knocked again. No answer. Nice.
"Hey, I am coming in."
"Nnnnoooooo!!!!"
"Excuse me!?!?! Paige! We need to talk!"
"No!"
"Quit being a baby."
"I'm not a baby!"
"Yeah you are!"
"Unhuh!"
"Yahuh!"
"Uhuh!"
"Yahuh!"
"Unhuh!"
"Unhuh!"
"Yahuh!"
"Ha! You just said you were! Now let me in!!!" We were both pushing on the door and I fell into her room. Wow that was quick!
"Five minutes."
"Okay where to start?"
"What I want to know is why you were kissing the guy you know I have feelings for?"
"Well…"
"Four minutes."
"Okay, okay! HE kissed ME."
"You expect me to believe that? Why didn't you stop him?"
"Yes I expect you to believe that and we just started kissing when you came. Ask him if you don't believe me."
"I will. Three minutes."
"We didn't even like kissing each other."
"Really?"
"Yes, he also said that he realized that he likes you how you like him after he found out how much he hurt you and since he didn't like kissing me that much."
"So he likes me now?"
"Yes!"
"I don't believe you."
"WHAT!"
"You could just be saying that so I'll be your friend. After I talk to him I will believe you."
"If you can't believe me then I don't want to be your friend! Why would I be here if I wasn't telling the truth and want you to be my friend?"
"Well…I don't know. Okay maybe-"
"Save it! I don't care anymore! Goodbye!"
"Ria! Wait!"
"No!"
"Your time was up anyways, Baby!"
I have got to learn to control my temper. Wham! I turned around and punched her in the face.
"I think you broke something!"
"GOOD! I hope I did break something. I believe I was leaving! Humpf!" I whirled around and walked back to my room.
I was in quite a rage. I didn't bother to change for dinner. I stuck to pacing in my room to spend my time. My face was all red from being angry and my "little" outburst. Well also from walking up and down my room for probably an hour. It was surprising because that actually made my face look more becoming with that rosy hue added to it. When I came down into the dining hall I saw Paige and she had a bandage on her nose. That must have been what I hit. I have to admit I feel a little bit guilty about everything now. I mean would I have forgiven her right on the button if she asked? Probably not. Well I will have to try again later. If I get the chance.
I sat down by Ella again. This time it was some duke on my other side. Thank goodness!
Char stood up. He started making an announcement. I only caught a few words including Derek, Aroythia, ogre, hunting, and week. I'm guessing Derek is in danger because an ogre will be hunting him in Aroythia in a week. Turns out Derek is going ogre hunting in Aroythia in a week. ONE WEEK! Oh well. I don't care. Do I?
Crappy place to stop I know but this chapter is long enough as it is! Hope you had fun reading it! Lol. I haven't had much with Derek lately but I am hoping that I can find a way to get him in the story more. I will also have to put in more journal entries soon! She has only been in Frell for about a week though so anything can happen! You will be hearing from her parents soon as well! Sorry took so long to update! How do you like my new characters? Mwhahahahaha!
