Esmeralda was very fond of her mother.
After all she was called Gwennie, by all of her friends and her brothers while her uncle Merlin and her parents called her Gwendolyn.
Esmeralda was just her formal name and she just despised it.
On top of that she thought her mother was the most poised and elegant lady she has ever met.
Plus she was an upgrade from her teacher Lady Sophia who put small books on her head and made her walk in straight lines after she made her listen
to a boring hour long lecture on how plants grow and how important it is to be a lady.
But right now she was really reconsidering Lady Sophia.
"I'm not going" Gwennie huffed crossing her small arms across her chest.
Gwen raised an eyebrow before crossing her arms too.
"And why not?" she asked sternly.
"Because I don't like her." Gwennie answered honestly.
Gwen sighed before kneeling in front of the chair her daughter was sitting in and sincerely looked at her.
"Why not, dear." Gwen asked.
Gwennie sat and pondered her question for a while before smiling and shrugging her shoulders, "She thinks she's prettier than me." was all Gwennie said before grabbing her mother's face then jumping of the stool in her room and running to the door.
Gwen blinked her eyes in shock, the two little princesses didn't like each other because they thought they were prettier than the other.
Of course Cordelia was a beautiful young girl with silky blonde hair and pretty brown eyes.
But Gwennie was also very beautiful for a girl age, curly cinnamon colored hair with a beautiful complexion and a blue eye to represent her father and brown eye to represent herself.
"Gwendolyn!" Her mother yelled chasing her daughter.
Gwennie just let out a small giggle before opening her door but she didn't get very far because she ran into a leg of a large stranger.
Gwennie looked up and smiled, "Father!" She yelled excitedly jumping into her father's arm.
"Gwendolyn, my love." Arthur said fondly before picking up his daughter.
Gwennie wrapped her arms around his neck before holding him closely to her.
"Gwendolyn!" Gwen shouted again.
Gwen stumbled out of Gwennie's chambers before staring pointedly at the little girl then looking expectantly at her husband before crossing her arms.
Uh-oh, Arthur thought.
"What's happened, dear?" Arthur asked.
"She says she does not like Cordelia because Cordelia thinks she is prettier than her." Gwen said.
Arthur moved slightly so he could look at his daughter who was smiling up at him.
He forgot what he had to say because his daughter was so beautiful and he would do anything for her, plus she was his only daughter, he couldn't be mad at
her especially if she smiled at him like that.
"Now Guinevere-'' He started but she cut him off by raising up a hand to stop him.
"She is going to Nemeth, Arthur, we will leave tomorrow before the moon rises, now if you will excuse me, I have to pack her things." Gwen said before walking back into Gwennie's room.
"Do I have to go, father?" Gwennie asked pouting a little.
"I'm afraid so my dear." Arthur said looking after his wife.
Is that really why Gwennie doesn't like Cordelia? Will Gwen and Gwennie make it to Nemeth?
