*Two weeks later*
Finally, home! Me and my beautiful daughter Minka are finally home where we belong. She looks around with amazed eyes at everything she sees. And the admiration she has for this place has me looking at it in a new light. It holds a new beauty that I needed my daughter to show to me. "Minka, follow Toris to your room and change out of those wet clothes, before you catch cold," Ivan said in a very loving and fatherly tone. "Everything here is so beautiful, отец." It is very late and you want to be well rested for tommorow, da?" She nodded and asked, "What happens tommorow, отец?" He smiled genuinely at her, "Tommorow we go exploring, after all a принцесса should know about her castle, da?" An adorable spread across her pale cheeks, "Okay, goodnight, отец." She hugged him and he kissed the top of her head. Toris, who had been silently watching from the sidelines tapped Russia's shoulder and Ivan broke the embrace, reluctantly. "Hello, I'm Toris Laurinaitis. Head servant to Mr. Braginski and i'll be escourting you to your room," Toris bowed. She was shocked and didn't know what to do so she returned the gesture, which made her father burst into laughter. She turned to him and asked, "Did I do something wrong?" He answered after he calmed down, "No you didn't do anything wrong it's just that people don't usually bow to the help, but that was sweet of you. Sleep well fair princess." she smiled and replied, "You two, отец." with that she turned to follow Lithuanina.
Lithuanina led the small girl up the steps to her new room and what she saw there was even more beautiful than the grand hallway and stairways she'd seen. It had a queen sized bed covered by a gold and lavender colored veil that was clearly hand dyed and embroidered. The wood bed frame appeared to be made of cherry wood as well as the dresser/vainity table and it's plush, velvet-topped stool and thick royal blue curtains that were the exactly matched the soft carpet. Just being in the room made her feel like a princess. Toris watched her violet irises drink in the room. She had delicate, soft looking features, very pale skin that looked lovely when she blushed, lustrus silvery locks, and a well porportioned and developed womanly figure. Her face was identical to Russia's. He thought he may have been developing a crush on her but quickly dismissed it as impossible act on. Like Belarus she'd probably attempt or even succeed in murdering him if he even tried. But for now he could watch and revel in her sweet demenor. It was safe, if only for the moment.
"Sorry to bother you Ms. Braginski, but wouldn't you like to see the rest of the room?" He said a tender and thoughtful tone. At this she looked up at him, "What more could I ask for?" Toris smiled at this internally; for the spawn of Russia she was the least greedy child he'd ever met, "With Mr. Braginski as your father and me with the other Baltics as you and Mr. Braginski's loyal servants anything your heart desires could be yours." She didn't know what to say to that so she just followed him to the first of three rooms connected to the main one.
It was what Lithuania jokingly called the 'Study Room' it was easy to see why upon entering the room. It was slightly smaller than the 'Main Room' as she'd decided to call it. The room was filled with oak desks that held globes, maps, charts, and various other academic instruments seperated by what subject it was used in.
The second of the three rooms was a large walk-in closet that held more clothes than some of her favorite stores. Than there were the clothes themselves they were simply beautiful. Silky smooth gowns in rich colors and were also more casual clothes, but even those held a certain elegance to them.
The last room was the only room Lithuania didn't show to her. He simply said it was her bathroom. She thanked him for the tour but he quickly dismissed it as his pleasure. Then he bid her goodnight with the request of her coming to him if she needed anything. When he left she went to the bathroom and took a hot bath before changing into a pair of fuzzy white pajamas, and climbing into the big comfy bed.
While she was drifting off to sleep Russia came in to check on her. He stood over her as whispered in her ear, "Little Minka is asleep, da?" She yawned and wiped sleep from her eyes, "Nyet, отец." "Did I wake you Minka?" He said sorrowfully. She looked at him, "No you didn't." He smiled, for not having robbed his little angel of much-needed sleep. "I was just coming to check on you," he said a little sheepishly. She smiled a sleepy smile and yawned, "I figured that much."
"Little Minka is sleepy, da?" He said in a fatherly tone that he was quickly getting used to speaking in. "Just a little," she said in all honesty. "отец, will help little Minka sleep, da?" She gave a small nod and he climbed into the large bed. He pulled her to his chest and the heat it gave off along with the steady beat in his chest had a calming effect all of it's own. So much so that when he started to sing in his rich deep voice she was already half asleep.
