Chapter 17 - Rowen

I open my eyes to the feeling of sun on my cheek . I'm so nervous for today . I wa so many questions I want to ask. I don't have to much hope in how things will turn out . But I need answers at the very least , why leave me in a realm and never come back for me. I get up and get dressed in the gown in my closet . I never seen something so pretty. A deep purple to bright purple ombré dress with black frills at end of the sleeves and bottom of the skirt. A corset back that I'll definitely need help with . Just as that thought crossed my mind the maid knocked and came in. She came straight to me to help. Once the dress is done Flora sits me down to brush and braid my hair. She goes to do my makeup And I ask her to at least do black winged liner and whatever else she pleases. I look in the mirror once she finishes and I look ethereal . Wow I didn't know I could look like this . Once fully finished after donning heels I head down to the kitchen for breakfast. The maids bring me to the dining hall where Tristan is sitting at the head of the table . I sit to the right to of him and look at all the food before me. I've always had a sweet tooth over savory foods and my eyes land on a fresh fruit tart and some type of berry scone. The maids bring serves me a tea that's red in color . I add a teaspoon of honey to the tea and take a sip. I'm hit with the taste of fresh sweet roses . It's so delicious I've never had anything like this. All the food was fresh and sweet. I could definitely get use to this. Just as I was finishing up breakfast Tristian finally speaks, "Your brother is here." I look at him curiously I wonder how he can tell. "Shall we head to the parlor to greet his highness?" He asks holding out he arm to me. It dawns on me I really know nothing of etiquette human or Fae wise. I take his arm and we arrive at the parlor and take our seats . Within a minutes time the maid knocks and introduces His Highness Crown Prince Rowen. The maid leaves us and Rowen is looking at me as if I killed his damn childhood pet. The man in front of me was tall with platinum blonde hair and green eyes and what looks like tattoos all over him and he had a slim but muscular build. I try to think back to all the books I've read about royalty . I stand and curtsey and look him in the eye and introduce myself, " my name is Aurora and its a pleasure to finally meet you." I smile at him for him to just stare at me like I'm beneath him. I can already tell I'm in for a lot of bullshit I'm not ready for. Tristian comes in for the save, thank god.

"Your Highness it's wonderful to see you again . Welcome to my home and please take a seat." Tristan waves a hand for him to sit where ever he likes.

"I must decline Lord Vankerbon. I've promised the King and Queen to make a swift return with the princess." The would princess almost like a nasty taste in his mouth . Is this really how you greet family? I already am starting to hate it here. "We will ride outside the Lords territory and then teleport to outside the castle." He says looking at me. I nod and he offers his hand for me to take to help me get up. I take his hand softly only to be smacked with a vision of him looking at me way differently and giving me flowers when I'm slammed back to reality. I open my eyes and look up to see I'm in Rowen's arms . Did I pass out ? What is happening to me? The only time this stuff ever happened to me was when I was in danger. That's how I avoided being killed or hurt. Do I have premonitions? I guess I do need to be here , I need to learn to control whatever this is.
