[ wattpad had deleted book 2 and 3 of my princess series. however i am still in debate whether or not to continue. i will post my decision in this book. until then, this book will undergo heavy revision and editing.]
Princess Athanasia de Alger Obel...
Athanasia has been napping soundly beside me as I've been studying for quite a while. Lillian sits across from us opening some sort of envelope. "Take a look at this, Princess!" Lillian exclaims, causing Athanasia to slowly awake from Dreamland. "Oh my. This bird is quite pretty!"
Athanasia sits up hazily muttering, "I just had the strangest dream."
"Oh?" I reply, glancing at her. I then return my gaze back to my studies.
"If I tell you who sent it, you'll be surprised." Lillian smiles. Lillian begins to read out loud for Athanasia to hear.

As I reminisce over yesterday's short encounter, I present this gift to you with longing.
- Ijekiel Alpheus

"Tweet-" a small blue bird coos from inside the cage. Athanasia's eyes go big as a smirk appears on my face.
"Seeing that he's sending this kind of gift, he must have fallen head over heels over for you at the debutante!" exclaims Hannah; one of the maids.
"Seems like you have an admirer." I giggle, knowing that Ijekiel had probably seen through Athanasia's disguise. "A secret admirer."
"H-Hey!" Athanasia pouts in defense.
"Hannah, watch the way you speak in front of the Princess," Lillian scolds.
"But it's the truth isn't it?" Hannah gestures towards Athanasia. "With Princess Athanasia being this lovely and beautiful, how could Lord Alpheus not have his heart stolen?"

"H-Hannah!" Lillian and Athanasia exclaim darting their eyes between me and Hannah. Hannah eventually understands and is face red.
"P-P-Princess Ariel! I-I didn't mean to insult you!" Hannah flusters quickly bowing beside me. "Y-You're also quite beautiful too! Many do have their hearts stolen by you-"
I snap my book shut making everyone go silent. I rise from my seat with a bright smile. "Hannah it's quite alright. I don't feel insulted. In fact, if Lord Alpheus likes Princess Athanasia, then it's young love!"
"B-But Princess-" I hold up my hand cutting Hannah off.
"It's fine Hannah, no need to dwell. Now if you'll excuse me, I believe it's time for me to be training with Felix." I smile once more, getting ready to leave for my training with Felix.
I open the doors and leave. Within a few steps Lillian comes out of Athanasia's room holding a big box, neatly wrapped, with an envelope attached to it. "Princess!" Lillian calls out to me.
