Chapter Eleven
Serena and Diamond stayed like that for the rest of the day, just waking up, making love and eating the food that had been brought up on a tray for them. Serena decided that she had never been happier than she was right at this very moment with Diamond as he held her close with his strong arms. However, Serena woke first next and she thought to herself that by the looks of the darkened sky outside that it was the middle of the night. She looked at Diamond then and he lay asleep peacefully next to Serena whist hugging her sweet body closely to his. Serena slowly turned around then with Diamond's arms still around her and she faced him. She looked at him lovingly with her bright blue eyes and she touched his cheek softly with her delicate fingers. She just watched him sleeping and sleeping just waiting for sleepiness to take her too but her wish never came. So, she decided that she would venture out of the honeymoon suite. She needed some air and maybe a different change of scene.
Nevertheless, she loved spending time with Diamond but she did not want to wake him just yet as he was probably exhausted from the days activities. She smiled again as she thought of the lovemaking that she and Diamond had participated in. It had been sweet and gentle but also very passionate. She watched Diamond's sleeping face and then she removed her naked body from the bed. Diamond shifted a little as Serena quietly relieved the bed of her small weight and then she walked over to a vacant chair. Placed on the chair was a beautiful silvery pink gown for Serena and she elegantly touched the delicate fabric with her subtle fingers. She ran her hand over the fantastic soft fabric and then she began dressing herself. She easily placed on her undergarments that had been selected for her and then she quickly slipped the gown on over her head. She strapped the matching silver shoes to her small feet and then she began brushing her long golden hair. She eventually tamed it as much as she could and then she tied it into an elegant knot at the back of her neck. She surveyed her image in the large full-length mirror that occupied the room and finally satisfied with her flawless reflection in the mirror, she quietly slipped from the room.
She silently closed the door behind her and then she slowly began walking through the deserted halls of her ancestral home. Serena walked through the amazing halls full of splendour that formerly belonged to her ancestors and finally decided that with its entire contemporary sparkle and dazzling ornaments, it had never looked more beautiful. The stars outside the halls looked incredible and glistened solely for Serena. Also, her eyes were instantly captivated on the Earth that stood before her looking proud and extremely regal. She walked over to the balcony ledge then and rested her elbows on the cold marble of the ornamental barrier. She gasped at its coldness but then she slowly smiled. She continued to look at the Earth and the amazing show that it put on for her. She sighed but then her attention was drawn back to the present. She loved the Moon Kingdom more than anyone knew and was secretly glad that she and Diamond were to make their future residence here, instead of Neptune. However, after only a week here at the Moon Crystal Palace, she, Diamond, his parents, siblings and her court were to travel to the Kingdom of Neptune, for nearly three months and be presented there formally to the Neptunian court. Serena was nervous about the experience but Diamond had already reassured her that the court were easy to handle and rather charming. She felt more comfortable at his constant reassurances and then she decided to do something she had not done in a while, she decided to participate in combat.
Serena looked at herself for a moment and smiled a knowing smile. She had not trained properly for a while because she had a lot on her mind recently but the more she thought of training the bigger her smile grew. Apart from the Scouts, Serena was one of the best swordswomen in the kingdom and along with her normal studies; Serena always added combat to her learning. Serena had started her training from a young age as it had been encouraged deeply by her father but it had been discouraged by her mother. Nevertheless, Serena constantly trained almost every day, until she had more or less mastered everything. She was skilled at sword fighting, archery and hand-to-hand combat, when necessary and today, she decided to enjoy it. Serena then casually walked down to one of the many training arenas within the palace grounds and she looked around the dusty parameter of the uneven circle as she happily stepped into it. A smile quickly appeared on Serena's face and then she slowly began preparing herself for her spontaneous session.
Firstly, Serena quickly removed her shoes and threw then casually to the one side and then she quickly redid her hair and set it into a more practical style. She then moved over to one of the locked storage spaces and magically she removed the lock that guarded the battered equipment within. She removed the chain and lock and then removed a battered looking sword, a simply crafted bow with some mismatched arrows and a thin flexible stick to practise her balance with. She dumped them into a pile at the side of her feet but then she noticed her attire. Her gown was a very fine one that many seamstresses had worked efficiently to finish and Serena was disappointed that it might be ruined due to her inadequate sense of duty at this present time. So she grabbed the edge of her flowing skirt and stuffed it expertly into her bodice showing off her shapely legs and bare feet to the kingdom in the dark light of the midnight. She then looked at herself and smiled. She looked a bit of a state actually but she did not care and then she began her secession. She picked up the simply crafted bow and mismatched arrows and aimed at a nearby tree. She pulled the string of the bow expertly and then she released the tension of the string by removing her fingers.
The arrow left the bow and quickly shot across the training ground to the intended target and pierced the bark of the tree deeply with its pointed head. Serena smiled as she saw that the arrow had reached her intended target and then she joyfully picked up another arrow. She again set her aim to the tree and she hoped that she could pierce the tree again but her hope was exceeded as the second arrow shot straight through the first and secured its sharp head into the bark of the tree, where the first had hit. She was thrilled and again she picked up another. Serena continued with her shooting until she had spilt the entire batch of arrows and then she dumped the bow on the dusty floor. Next, she picked up the stick and began running fast and jumping high using the stick. She practised her jumps and balance thoroughly for a good half an hour, until she tired and then she picked up the battered sword. She looked at the sword lovingly for a moment and then she began running her smooth delicate fingers over the dull blade of the sword. However, she finished her inspection and then she began her practise. She thrashed her sword in front of her and began fighting to steps she knew so well like the dance steps that her mother had taught her as a child. She flung her sword in an artful dance that required a lot of concentration and because the fighting steps required so much attention, she became unaware of her surroundings and more importantly, a pair of watchful eyes that observed her skilful movements intently.
