"A princess??? I never agreed to becoming a princess!"
I am freaking out. Currently pacing the room nervously, Lanota and Mary try to stop me in my tracks in an attempt to calm me down. But every time they try to place their hand on my shoulder, I just swat it away.
"Princess Sera, I must respectfully ask you to please calm down!" Lanota says to me in her stern voice.
"I can't calm down! How am I supposed to calm down?! One minute I think I'm about to be executed, now all of a sudden I'm a princess?! What is this, a Dizney movie?!" I stop walking for a bit to face them with my arms crossed. They look at each other for a moment, confused. Then they say nothing.
'Oh right, they don't know what that is.'
Sighing out my frustrations, I return to nervously pacing around my room. Attempting to try again, Mary's hand clasps around my shoulder in an iron grip, making me stumble backwards from the force.
"Woah!" 'Holy cow she's strong-!' Her expression on the other hand is the opposite, soft and concerned. Without much struggle she sets me on my bed while somehow making it feel like she's lightly guiding me down.
"Princess, please! You shouldn't tire yourself too much. After the day you've had, are you not exhausted?"
I take a moment to think about what she's telling me. Not long after my coronation, I was shown all around the town on Goldie. It was like a parade made just for me. I also had to speak to the town folk, but sadly I couldn't understand much of what they were saying because the music and the talking was so loud. Luckily, nodding my head and saying "Thank you" seemed to suffice.
I let out another sigh, and flop down on my bed spread-out in a starfish position. The exhaustion from today's activities crashes down on me for the second time, and I'd imagine it wouldn't feel good to be hit by a wave twice in a row.'Okay brain, rewind. So far I've been thrown down a staircase, nearly ran over by a car, transported to another world, met a knight, locked in a dungeon, crowned, and paraded around, all in one day. ONE! Not to mention there's still my Dad, missing and nowhere to be found... All I can really do now is hope he's safe and find a way out of here as fast as I can.'
Although there's one more thing that bothers me. Not wanting to get up from my bed, I call out to Lanota and Mary, saying:
"Lanota, Mary, I have a question." I hear one of them say "Hm?" Taking that as a sign to ask away, I continue:
"What was all that Hero and prophecy stuff about, during the speech at the end? Talking about my "destiny" or whatever-? I don't really remember what he said." I hear no response from them. I get up into a seated position to see them both unmoving, frozen in place.
"Y-you mean, you don't know?" Mary asks me and I shake my head in response.
"Oh... well then... um-. Do not fret about that, I'm sure every thing will be explained tomorrow! For now, we must prepare you for the banquet tonight."
"...What? Banquet? Tonight?" They both nod their heads in response.
"It's to celebrate your coronation of course! There will be bread, wine, roasted chicken, turkey legs, and other delicious foods for you to enjoy! You are hungry, are you not?" Mary asks me. Right on queue, my stomach lets out the loudest and deepest demonic growl it can muster up at the mention of food.
"I didn't even have dinner yet, well it's not like I was able to anyways..." I clutch my stomach with my hand. 'Screw my aching, old lady back! I'm starving my guts out!'. Standing up, I make a beeline straight for the door.
