Chapter 3: Meeting the Princess
"I can't believe I'm going to the castle. I wonder what the princess is like? I hope she likes me. Then again I hope that I won't get in her way. Wait I'm going to be her servant!" Alealyan paused for a second as she was packing in her room. I'm going to be in the presence of the royal family. She paused once more then cheerfully began to pack once more. Then the thought hit her, I'm going to be in presence of the royal family! Crap! Do I have anything to wear!?
She began to rummage through her packed clothes. What about this dress? No I can't wear that in the presence of royalty. She then paused when she saw her working clothes. They look like rags, she thought in despair but then she turned her head to the side and examined it once more thoroughly. Well actually these aren't that bad. I've worn worse. With that aside she placed it in her bag and began to search for a dress suitable for the palace.
"This is hopeless!" she cried softly. With that she collapsed on her bed in thought. "What am I going to do?"
As if her prayers were answered she heard a soft knock at her door.
"Come in," she replied as she got herself up from the bed.
Cyn opened the door gently as she entered the room elegantly. "Are you ready?"
"Almost."
"Do you need anything?" Cyn asked as she moved to sit next to Alealyan, who was looking at her curiously. "I mean after all when you go to the palace, you will be representing this family. We want to make a good impression now do we not."
Alealyan looked at Cyn for a moment and hesitated. Should I ask her for a dress? Or will she just laugh at me? She won't laugh, you're going to representing this family. Crap! I forgot about that. Don't be stupid Alealyan. Ask her!
"Well actually I was wondering if...." she hesitated at first.
"Yes?"
"If I could borrow a dress to wear?" she finished and looked at Cyn for some kind of response.
Cyn smiled knowingly and quickly got up then walked to the door. She opened it and reached for a long slender box that was waiting for her then brought it into the room. She then handed the box to Alealyan who was just staring at her. When the boxed opened up, inside it was the prettiest dresss she'd ever laid eyes on. It was a long silver dress with a hint of red in them and she was going to let me wear it!
"Thank... you my lady."

When Alealyan finally left the house she paused for a second. I'm going to the palace! I still can't believe my luck! She was thinking this as she began to skip and sing softly to herself.
"I thought I heard your voice," a familar voice behind her spoke.
She turned in an instant and smiled. "Niryan! You're coming too!"
"Not only her smart one," said another voice. "Remember all of us have been called."
Alealyan stood there for a moment and saw all of her friends that were going to the palace. This is going to be awesome! We're going to have so much fun.
"I can't wait 'till we get to the palace!" Alealyan said happily.
"Just as long as you keep your mouth shut you shouldn't have any problems," Elelith chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Alealyan said pausing for a second and looking at her friend.
"Remember what happened earlier this evening? You know the prince?" he reminded her.
Crap! I forgot about that. What am I going to do? Stay calm, Alealyan! Wait I can't stay calm I'm going to be in the palace! He lives in the palace! NO kidding, smart one he is royalty after all. I am aware of that, that is why I said crap! All these thoughts raced through her mind as the view of the castle drew closer by every step.

"Is everything prepared?" Sadith tried to ask nicely as everyone was trying to make room for all of the extra servants that were about to get to the castle. "Is anyone even listenning to me?"
She gave up and began pacing the floor until Legolas entered the room. Everyone paused for a second as he made his way towards his sister. Look at how much powere he has and he doesn't even know he possesses it. I can barely get others to acklowledge me without the presence of one of my brothers or my father. And here he comes holding more authority in just walking in a room and he doesn't even want it. She sighed as he faced her.
"How is it going?" he asked her kindly. He knew she was having problems managing this all by herself.
"It is a mess. A complete mess," she confessed. She turned and looked at him, he was the only one she could admit such hopeless to and know that he would not laugh at her for it.
"Need a hand?" he suggested.
"Well I have plenty of hands, I just need them to listen to me," she admitted. She looked at him and smiled.
I know that smile. Great, here we go again.
"Yes?"
"Could you tell them to double check on everything?" she asked cunningly.
"You want me to?" he said with a hollow voice.
"Please."
He looked at her for a monet and gave in. "Fine." As he said this he moved to the middle of the room and said in a loud voice. "Get everything prepared! Double check on everything! Move quickly now!"
At his demand everyone got back to work in a haste but still left things perfect as elves usually do things in that manner whether in haste or not.
Thank you, Sadith mouthed at Legolas. She was about to relax for a second when a messenger rushed to her side.
"My lady, the servants have arrived."
With that said, she rushed to the palace door while also not knowingly was also followed by Legolas. When she finally got to the door she waited for the expectant visitors but the one she didn't expect was Legolas who came up behind her. She glanced at him and smiled. They waited together until finally a line of walkers walked up to them.
"Welcome to the palace my fellow subjects, it is nice to have you here at last," Sadith said in a harm almost hypnotic voice. "Come in and settle yourselves."
As she said this she looked and examined all of the servants with her eyes. She smiled with satisfaction and began to walk away.
Legolas looked at all of the servants with a stare that could pierce anyone in the heart or rather their mind. She looked up and down and then noticed a maiden who had her hand on her face as if she was covering it. He looked harder and his eyes began to widen. It was her!
A/N: Thank you for your reviews! I kind of thought this chapter is rubbish but please tell what you think. I'm also sorry for a delay in updating. School is back now and its being a bitch. Yeah so please review! Also I am aware that this was a short chapter but let e say without giving anything away that this will be the calm before the storm.
