^_^ ---------------- Arestia slowly slid out of bed, and changed into her cream yellow gown... She tucked a white rose into her hair and braided it as she ran into the bathroom and decorated her face. 'Another day... Why can't daddy leave me alone?!' Aresria heard a knocking on the door and she opened it, onky to see a smiling Pursia, her personal maid. "Hello Pursia..." Pursia could hear her sigh and put her hand gently on her shoulder. "My dear... He's just doing the best for you! You're to be wed to the richest noble and you'll get everything! Anything!" Arestia lifted her head and showed a sad smile. "I won't get to see you... Or mommy or daddy anymore..." Pursia smiled at her, and removed her hand. "My child... Let's not keep your father waiting... His little flower must be prepared!" Pursia took her hand and led her down the flight of stairs, excited with the whole marriage thing, even if our little Arestia was just 13. "Arestia my dearest!" The kind slowly lifted himself up from the chair, welcoming his daughter. The Queen just gave a heartwarming smile at her, yet looked at the 12 young men that stood in front of her with a determined glare, warning them to treat Arestia with the upmost respect with her eyes. ------
