As Jareth led Sarah through the crowd of Fae and a few goblins, she found herself thinking about how this was just like her dream. The ballroom. The mystical beings. Everything. She continued on in deep thought about all of this being so familiar, yet different when a voice suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts and she realized that Jareth had been speaking to her.
" What's wrong, my precious? You don't seem like yourself. I'm actually surprised you haven't become the slightest bit enraged about staying forever." Jareth said, pausing briefly to gently twirl her in a circle.
"Huh? I never agreed to stay forever. Biltux said it was only a trip here. Meaning only a few days. Like a visit!" Sarah argued about the situation venomously. Biltux really hadn't told her that she would be there FOREVER. She thought her mind was being messed with. Was any of this for real, or not? Sarah was so confused.
Jareth paused again and clamped two fingers on the bridge of his nose like one does when they have a headache. " God damn goblins! They never follow orders correctly. I specifically told them how to word it, and they did it differently. I shouldn't have brought that up. I knew she was going to get angry like she always does and argue. Maybe if I try a different approach and win her over." he mumbled.
"Jareth…. Are you ok?" Sarah asked, suddenly becoming worried because he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Hm? Oh.. Yes. I'm fine." He said, continuing to dance with her.
As much as I desire for those daft goblins' heads on a spit, I can not allow myself to be noticably angry while my dear Sarah is right in front of me where she can take notice. If she notices something is wrong, she'll get upset with me again and start shouting in the middle of this lovely ball. That's hardly queen-like behavior. She needs to start holding her tongue. I understand how upset she must be right now ,but she seems to be enjoying herself even if she is hiding it from everyone. Which reminds me that I need to take care of that problem with Camilia later. Insufferable brat. I may have thrown her into an oubliette, but that's not her whole punishment. Hell! For being absolutely evil to Sarah, she deserves worse. Even though she IS my baby sister, She shouldn't be allowed to act THAT arrogant. After her little stunt she would be lucky not to get exiled from the kingdom. Sarah may get upset with me for this, but after the ball I WILL toss that little bitch into the dungeon if I have to. Hmph! That would teach her! After a short time in that disgusting dungeon, she would be absolutely bonkers not to treat Sarah with respect. After all, they SHOULD get along and do girly things together like manicures or whatever it is that girls do with their time. It's neither lady-like OR princess-like to be acting the way Camilia has been acting. I know she must be jealous because Sarah is getting ALL of the attention, but that is still no reason to act like a loon. And a mischievious one at that! How annoyingly unroyal! I mean, what kind of princess acts like that anyway!? I really can not fathom why anyone would want to hurt Sarah anyway. She is so kind, and let's not forget absolutely lovely. She's tad fiesty albeit, but at some moments it is absolutely adorable.
Ugh. Sarah would make a fine queen. I just know it. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
