The sky was clear, a light azure shade scattered across the vast expanses, only a handful of white clouds drifted aimlessly, their edges soft and their forms every-changing. They almost seemed lost in contemplation as they mingled and merged-as if conjuring up a story on their own. Eyes were thirsty in watching the beautiful sunlight outside the window.

The languid wind drifted through the air, it's gentle caress barely stirring the stillness of the day.

I feel drowsy. Its been hours straight and they still knitting my dress. Putting Buttons, ribbons, sashes while spreading my arms either way.

Standing. My arms getting heavier. I can't put my arms down or I might ruin my dress or be pricked by the pins.

They disturbed me while i'm halfway day dreaming about the story I've read about the Pixies. The story is amazing even I read it over and over for countless times but still sent me goosebump. Its captivating every little detail seems dominant.

Inabot kolang yung libro sa maid at itinago niya ito agad. I can't loose it. Its the last of its kind the other copies are lost for ages.

I sighed in relieved as they finally put down my arms and sank on the soft sofa.

Naiirita rin ako sa pag aayos nila ng buhok ko na parang may haba ng ilang kilometro na di pa natatapos. Ang ikli ng buhok ko para ayusin nila ng ganuong katagal. Minsan nakakatulog narin ako sa tagal ng pag aayos nila sakin

"Is it done?"-naatok kong wika kulang nalang mahuhulog nako sa kinauupuan ko

"Almost your highness"

Then how long is that almost gonna take!! Napabuntong hininga ako ng sabay sabay na silang nagsialisan at inayos ko ng mabuti ang kwelyo ko na parang napipiga pati lalamunan ko pasimpleng ngiti at minamasdan ang mukha sa salamin.

"My princess its time. "-The maid called and I followed her from behind. We're on the capital for days and were going back to Estheria. My kingdom. My ladies-in-waiting are gracefully followed me while carrying my stuff.

Behind me came the sequel of an approaching wagon and the beating of horse hooves. I face the four majestic, pearl-haired horses and a carriage draped in fine velvets silk. Wafting of a soft and sweet aroma. It came to half a few feet away. The butler greeted the horses with kind whispers and gentle path.

The coachman leaped down, then ran over and swung the door open.
And my maid carried my stuff on the carriage.

Inalis na rin ang mga tent at malinis na lahat. Its been a half boring months for me. May karerang nagaganap once in a year only and we won again.

Its time to go back and have a long rest. Marami rami din kaming dalang mga regalo at mga ginto na napalalunan namin sa mga patimpalak at mga enchanted royal games. Exciting lahat pero pagod na ako. Dali dali na akong pumasok sa karwahe at ako nalang ang hinihintay. I'm a bit lousy and I'm always late for something lalo na sa mga importanteng okasyon. Ayaw ko kasing pinagmamadali ako dahil gumugulo ang isipan ko.

"Why so serious my daughter. Is something bothering you?"

I nonchalantly glance mom and serenely shook my head and then turn my attention back to the view outside the window. Watching the emerald landscape that stretch endlessly; mother nature is incredibly astonishing.

"My dear"

"Hmm?" I turn my attention to her

Mom handed me some letter.  I glance over them while arching my eyebrows. they're completely sealed with different colored wax. Each wax has their different meaning. Green wax was for casual, friendly letters; correspondence between friends. Blue one were commonly associated with romance and passion, very strong feelings for one another.
