A girl eith azure coloured hair roamed through the halls. She gave off an air of nobility fitting for a princess. Her appearence being much more above averge compared to her elder brother.
Servants of all statuses whispered together. Their thoughts ranging ftom praise. Though some couldn't hold their envy at the royals. What would their life be like if they were born as a royal surely it would be more safer and grander.
"Truly irritating, however I must peservere on". Sofia thought, as her hand flicked into a determuned gaze. She swears to one day lead the kingdom into a new dawn of age.
People surrounded her with various expectations, desires. Ever since she was little she was capable of weilding the ancient ice magic capable of potentially freezing any living being it touches. Her proficiency for ice mgaic was said to be on par eitht he past monarchs.
Though due to her young age she couldn't fully freeze people, but partially so from a touch. Furthermore she was capable of using advanced magic at a young age.
Everyone expects her to rule instead of well her brother... .
"Miss sofia", an attendant maid ran beside her.
"Ah rachael how goes your day". Sofia greeted her with a soft deamonor. Hidden behind impecable posture or at least she like to think of it as such.
Rachael was a maid personally assigned to sofi. They have met since at a young age in childhood. Ever since
"It's well your royal highness maam", she voiced out in respect. Though there was a hint of friendliness within her act of conduct.
"Its alright Rachael you may drop the formalities". Sofia says eith eyes scanning the surroundings. Making sure the place was clear.
"But your highness such a th-" Rachael was interupted " I don't want to hear a thing about royal etiquette or anything concerning the matter".
"Y-yes Mrs sofia" She said hesitantly, sounding like she did not want to offend anyone. Though she hid a small smirk beneath it all.
"Is something the matter", Sofia questions out of pure intution.
"Ah no its nothing", Rachael stutters without looking towards sofia. Her steps more hidden and graceful as she closes in on the clueless princess.
"Princess how about we visit your father, I hear that hes quite frazzled from a certain echange". Rachael changes the coversation while pulling the colour of her maid uniform.
"Oh how suprising" Rachael responded with an eyebrow raise. It was unsual for her father to be, this exhausted he usually had a much more stoic face on him. Only ever revealing any ounce of emotion nearby his family.
"Let us make haste then but you owe me a talk rachael were friends afterall", she smile that she thought was as warm as the sun. Thought it appeared to eb as cold as ice.
" R-right", Rachael answered meekly as they quickly rushed towards her fathers quarters.
With such superflous grace, the prodigy and the maid bashed through the door. The poor man was startled but that didn't matter, the princess and her ego couldn't handle anything not fitting her own world view.
"Father what is the bother, surely I can be of assistance". the princess announces with such confidence comparable to the hero claiming to be able to slay the great demon lord.
"Yes your brother has yet to return strangely enough, I am getting a hit worried". The king muttered rarely did his children ever exit the palace. With sweat pouring down his skull, he couldn't help but worry.
"Your majesty, pleasure to make your acquantence". The maid who was dragged into this whole mess, trys getting along with royalty for who knows what.
"Who is this my dearest sofia". The king asked in confusion baffled to see a maid, did he miss something truly nothing is hoping right today.
"Father do you not see, this is my subordinate Rachael she shall be my advisor from now on". Sofia claims in pride unaware of any nefarious intentions directed to her. Afterall she was the furture queen of this nation who would dare do her harm.
"Yes but of course, come along now I have a feeling he might be arriving soon". The king metnions as he fiddles with the stack of reports on activities in the place the prince is visitting.
He then abruply gets up and rushes towards the entrance as fast as possible.
"Lets follow behind Your H- I mean Mrs sofia", Though before she could turn to look for the princess she was already gone leaving bejind a trail of ice.
"O-oh this won't be good for my observation" Rachael thinks to herself as a sweatdrop goes down her forehead. It took her a lot of great effort to get this job afterall.
Heading down to the assembly a group of soldiers surrounded a luxirious carriage fitting for royalty. They looked quite exhausted but relieved.
"Make way the king is entering" A knight of the castle personal royal guard announces to them.
The king tumbles forward in a delicate manner fitting for royalty. For some reason not a single person says anything in response.
"Your majesty prince Vermouth has returned safely however he is asleep exhausted from todays ongoings". A guard directly confirms his safety with a bow towards his majesty.
Adjusting himself upwards his majesty furhter questions the guard. "Are you sure there are no injuries present on him, please give fuether details on what happened on the journey". The king questions with a serious glare on to the guard.
"Ah well" in less then a milli second. The guards surrounding the carriage had a small white glitch appearing on their faces.
"We managed to safely secure the items King theodore, along with prince Vermouths desired belongings". The Guard answers honestly without a hint of deception.
Skeptical however the king signals the guard to talk in private. He rarely ever, showed this much emotion to them, which worried many in the area.
Bam, a mist of frost surrounds the area with princess Sofia making her grand entrance. She strikes a pose with a smirk and hand towards her chest. Puffing it up to appear more intmidating.
"Where is that worthless brother of mine, no matter I shall deal with him immediately". She put on a prous expression as if she was doing the world a favour.
" In the carriage your hughness though do be careful with him". The guard voiced in a mixture of puzzlement and hesitation.
"Why of course", she answered, though she put on an arrogant smirk. Her eyes betrayed a softening warmth.
She carefully emtered the carriage to find a boy sleeping peacefully. Oddly enough he seemed out of place.
"Why do I have a bad feelign about this". She thinks to gerself it was her brother afterall one she knew all her life. "its him right?", she wonders.
