The Youngest Princess of Toere
Arranged to marry the great land of Faeuire's Youngest prince
Crush: None yet..
Heaven above, be ye ruled by fates, gods, or nothing more then the stars..
A letter, nothing more then a letter decorated Corbin's elder brother, Orion Ulrich Jay's
dresser... That was all that was left, of his little sister.. She blankly gazed out the window of the carriage window.. The stars still have not left the sky, hoping that the letter would suffice. She sighed wearily as a servant began to read a book to her as the carriage pulled forward, and the cool air of the air nipped gently at her pale skin. She closed her deep ruby red eyes, and wearily recalled the events of the early morning..
She was risen from the comfort of her warm, soft bed at an unearthly hour by the servants. Who gently whispered their apologies. Saying that they wished to get her on her way, before dawn so that she would arrive in Faeuire in a reasonable hour. She found it odd, how she was rushed about. for her parents had dragged their feet on the arranged marriage for the longest while.. Asking for just a year more, so that their frail daughter could become stronger. But now, they could no longer ask for the kingdom of Faeuire's patience and had to at long last release their daughter into the large world. Poor souls, she heard the tears being choked back in her mothers throat as she and her handmaidens bathed her in the warm waters. "Mother.." She breathed hugging her mother tightly.. Her parents dearly loved her, sure they were a little overzealous in protecting her, but she still did not wish for her mother to cry. "Be brave my dear.. I love you so... " Her mother recited the same lines over and over again as she calmed hugging her soaking wet daughter tightly. "This.. Is for the best." If this coarse of action was for the best, and so righteous.. Why then was her mother in tears? Why did it take her parents so long to at long last release her?
But being the meek child she was, she held her tongue.. Not voicing her concern. She would simply do as her parents told her to do. she felt the warm water splash over her skin.. As her mother finished helping her to wash her body. The small flicker of the candle lights, told the young small and frail princess that it was still dark outside. "What about Orion? Is he awake? I would like to say goodbye to him..."
"Oh, it's far too early to wake that sleeping bear... " Joked Corbin's mother. "But hopefully he will awaken soon.. If not.. You could leave him a letter."A letter.. Those words curled in her stomach angrily.. A letter, surly that was not a proper goodbye to her elder brother.. We're the maids, and her parents worried that her elder brother would argue with them? That was most likely the case. That they did not wake her older brother, fearing the man might argue with them. Surely this was not the right coarse of action, if they we're hiding her departure from her beloved brother.
But again, she held her tongue.. Her silence... Was the only thing that greeted her maids, as they helped her to dress, and combed her short snow white hair. She closed her eyes, as the maid painted her naturally beautiful face with a bit of makeup. being blind, Corbin saw no use in this.. but, the maid said that this was for the best.. And whom was she to argue? Perhaps her future husband wold like his bride to wear makeup. She felt the maid paint her face softly with a bit of white powder, and a smaller bit of blush. Then highlighted her ruby red eyes with a bit of eye makeup, and last came her lips. Which the maid painted with a simple pink lipstick. the maid praised her, on how much lovelier her face now looked. Corbin said nothing, she felt fake.. Like a little doll, being dressed up.. To be sold..
Now, the dress that they choose was the hardest for her mother to decide. They tried on several until one at long last spoke to the elder woman as being perfect. It was a lovely jade green dress with pink trimming, that hugged Corbin's small frail body well showing off her curves. A thick pick ribbon wrapped around her waist, and was tied into a neat bow on her back. The access of the ribbon playfully dangling almost touching the earth below. A well made pair of high heals decorated her small feet They added a lovely choker made of white gold around her thin neck, and long earrings hung from her ears. then last but not least a tiara decorated her head after they brushed and styled her hair. . She sat on the bed fully dressed, and smelling of her favorite flower (honeysuckle) her servants rushing about packing her thing..
Her brother still had not awakened. she sighed aloud, and gently requested her maid to write a letter on her behalf.
My dearest brother,
I am very sorry that we can not say goodbye face to face.. But mother says that we must hurry.. If we are to arrive on time, and insisted that I allow you to rest. Mother says that this is for the best.. I shall miss you Orion. I hope that your wife is beautiful, kind, and treats you well. I wish you the best of happiness, and hope to be at your wedding.. I hope that when you marry her, that love will fill your voice and heart. You needn't worry for me.. father is sending the best of his knights to guard me on my journey, and mother says that the people and their prince are quite kind.. I am certain, that when we see each other again.. We shall both be happy..
No, I can not lie to you brother.. I am frightened.. I know that what I am doing is for the best for my people.. But, there is doubt in my heart. rest assured.. I shall do my best to be brave, and fulfill my duties.. But I still find myself uncertain.. What if the prince hates me? or is violent, Or ..Or.. What if I can never return home? Please, keep this a secret from mother and father.. But I doubt their judgment and fear for the future.... I wish mother would let me wake you, I could certainly use your council.. I shall write to you as often as I can.. I am sure, that perhaps all I am feeling is natural... And I hope that all my fears shall be put to rest.. But until then, I shall have to be brave.. I shall miss you brother, please give Ursa a kiss on my behalf. And again, I wish you luck and the best of happiness with your fiancee..
Sincerely yours,
Corbin
Corbin
She then swore the maid to secrecy, the last thing she wished for.. Was for her parents find out that she had begun to doubt them.. The twitter of a blue jay snapped her from her memories, as the morning sun's rays began to fill the sky. The little bird, as if sensing her fear and nervousness.. Only to fail, Corbin sighed.. Not even conversing with the birds would better her mood. Sang her a cheerful little tune as she and her party traversed forward. She soon found herself being led by the hand inside the castle a servant cheerfully chirping on and on about the scenery and such. As guard quickly rushed to the king and king... "My Lord.. Not to intrude.. But it appears that one of the princesses has already arrived.. What shall I do?"
Please aid me in my quest to do what is right, despite what my heart yearns for..
