I awoke from my slumber later than usual. My head quickly became clouded with the thoughts and worries I'd been having the night before. I brushed them away. It was too early for that.

My room wasn't the type of room one would expect for a princess. It was fairly plain, the only furniture being a bed and a small lounging couch. I had my own personal bathroom,and I liked that. My closet was walk-in, and was much bigger on the inside then it appeared on the outside. The floor was a dull grey tile and the walls were just as grey. A mirror hung on the wall opposite my bed, and the curtains for my balcony door were parted back. I should have undone the tie when I went to bed, but I was just too tired. That's what happens when I worry. I fatigue quickly.

Some call me anxious because I worry so much, but I think it's just natural to worry about the future. Find someone who doesn't worry about the future at some point, and I'm sure one would find a liar at the same time.

I was, of course, late for breakfast. I'd make myself something to eat. I wasn't completely dependent on others, and I was proud of that fact. I wasn't one of those in royalty that absolutely could not take care of themselves. All of the workers and servants here could leave and I'd still be okay. My father doesn't understand why I like to do such things on my own. I try to explain, but he doesn't understand. He can take care of himself also, but he doesn't prefer it. He will when he has to, but he's always told me that I should take advantage of the service while I had it. I don't agree.

My father's head turned in my direction as I walked into the dining hall. The table had just been cleared of the dishes. I greeted him a good morning.

"Good morning, Rein," he smiled. "You're up a bit late. The dishes have been cleared. Is something bothering you?"

"No, I'm alright. Better than alright, actually." I replied. I knew he knew that I was not speaking the truth, but the truth could wait for a while.

"What will you be doing today?" I usually gave him an idea of where I would be throughout the day in the morning. Not that it really mattered if I didn't tell him. When he became blind, he'd grown extra ears, and his other senses had become extraordinarily acute. They say he can hear the slightest whisper throughout Gandhara. I believe that to be true.

"I'll be... In my room most of the day."

"But it's such a nice day out, darling. You should go for a walk. Get some fresh air."

"I'll consider it."

"Good." He said as he got up from his chair. He walked over to me and bent to kiss me on top of my head. "Considering it is better than saying no, I suppose."

I just nodded.

"Your baby brother will be "born" soon." He commented. I think he was trying to get me excited. I still wasn't sure how to feel. Maybe I was jealous.

"Father?"

"Yes?"

"Will you still... Treat me the same way... When little Shura is born? " It was a childish question, and I couldn't believe that I had asked it. Then again, I suppose that it would knock off one worry, or amplify it, depending on father's answer.

"Why, of course! Why wouldn't I? What, Rein, in the world would give you the idea that I wouldn't? Did you think that I would cease to care for you once Shura was born?"

I wasn't about to lie at that point. I nodded.

He hugged me tightly. "Never. I will never stop loving you, darling. You're my favorite daughter."

"I'm your only daughter, Dad."

He chuckled. "Yes, I suppose that's true."

He didn't stop hugging me, and I was glad about that. There was just something about being in his arms that would take away every worry that I could think of. I felt so calm. So safe. It made me feel like the world had stopped moving. Everything stopped. I closed my eyes, letting the serene feeling consume me.

Of course, it couldn't last forever. He had work to do. He stopped hugging me, patted me on the head, and walked away. I watched him. I felt the world move again. People were stressed. Worries existed.

I didn't like it.
