Mal lay on her four-poster bed, staring at the ceiling, both eyes red, having cried herself to the last drop in her body. She felt thirsty from the excessive crying but was too lazy and tired to get out of her bed. She had been thinking, think about the one man that she was going to spend the rest of her life with.
"Mal!" Jenna called.
The princess sat up slowly and stared at her childhood friend with drowsy eyes. Lady Jenna, or Jen, was the daughter of Duke Alan and the both of them had been friends since young, playing together, studying together, they did practically everything together. Each time Jenna came, she would always go and find Princess Mal first. The 2 of them were the best of friends.
Both girls were tall and slim, and with a pretty face. Being the prettier and more powerful of the 2, Mal was constantly chased by young men who wanted her for her money, she deduced. The King was forced to let his daughter learn some un-armed fighting to protect herself from some rejected suitors who turned violent upon hearing that the Princess could not accept them.
"Jen?" she asked, surprised that Jenna was here, in her bedroom. Not that Jenna had not been in her bedroom before, but Mal expected her not at this time, when she was supposed to be in Egypt, studying about pyramids.
"Of course, who else did u think it was? Your FRIEND?" Jenna confirmed, emphasizing the 'friend'.
Mal kept silent and looked intently at the bed. She blushed and felt a pang of guilt hit her. Jenna had always liked Prince Yaven of Tortall. That was no wonder. Prince Yaven was strikingly handsome. Almost all the girls that Mal knew had a major crush on him. He was the 'prefect' gentleman in their eyes, gentle, kind, handsome, powerful, and rich. The princess of Valendra, however, did not like him at first glance and thought he was arrogant and selfish. She hated him.
"Mal, has something happened?" Jenna enquired, noticing that her long-time friend was silent, something that she did not do often.
