Life In Heaven
Julia’s POV,
I wake up with a smile on my face. I look around me clean room and hop off the bed. I twirl over to my closet and pick out one of my best dresses. I walts over to my bath, which is connected to my bedroom, and start a bath. I add lavender and close my eyes, smelling the strong scent of the purple flower.
When the bath is full I strip myself of my nightgown and slip one foot into the water feeling the temperature. It’s warm and I step into the bath, sinking into the warm water. It coats my whole body and I relax. I grab the book lying on the table and read the pages of an adventurer who falls in love with a beautiful girl. It’s so interesting I almost don’t notice the knocking on the door.
I close the book and turn towards the door. “Who is it?” I ask already knowing the answer.
“Princess, your parents are expecting you for breakfast.” The servant Gustoff says in his gentle tone.
I smile thinking about my loving parents. “Tell them that I will be down in a bit.”
“Yes, princess.” He says and I hear his footsteps fade away.
I place the book on the table, as I stand up and wrap a silk cream-colored robe around my body.
After getting dressed I walk over to my mirror and braid my hair into a crown. I double-check myself in the mirror before I decided I looked decent enough to eat with my parents.
As I walk out the door two of the royal guard standing with their hands behind their backs and they bow once they notice my presence and I bow back.
I walk down the long hallway and down the flight of steps, down another hallway that leads to the dining hall.
Once I enter the dining hall I spot my mother and father sitting at the table. They each are sitting on opposite sides of the table. I bow to both my parents and when they nod I sit on the long side of the table in the middle.
There’s no food on the table so we aren’t eating yet. We are just sitting in silence.
Weird
My mother then clears her throat and looks at my father as if she were saying, tell her.
My father clears his throat and looks at me with a nervous smile. “Sweetie, you know we have always talked of you getting married.”
I nod knowing where this is going, but the reaction they are expecting will surprise them.
“Your mother and I have decided since you’ll be turning 18 next month that you should start looking for a husband. ” He said slowly so I could understand.
I smiled, and my parents looked confused. I have always wished to get married. I was never one to be adventurous and want to see the world.
“Mother, father I am happy with the plans. I wish to be married after my birthday.” I said looking t both, y parents excitedly.
“My mother cleared her throat and nodded. “Well, then it’s decided. There is a prince coming over today for lunch. Please dress nicely.”
I nodded and just then the maids walked in with our breakfast. It looked amazing and I nodded my head to all the maids as they bowed.
I look at both my parents and they nod for me to eat. I smile and start eating and once I do my taste buds start to dance from excitement.
Once I finish eating I I go to my room to get ready to meet the prince. I look through my closet and found the perfect blue gown.
Once I put it on I checked myself in the mirror and I swear I looked beautiful. I took my hair out of the braided crown and let it fall down on my shoulders. It was curly which made it look even better.
I sat down at my make up table and decided to wear light make up.
Once I was finished it was 1 pm, which means that the prince should be coming soon. I smiled from ear to ear just thinking about the wonderful prince I would be meeting.
While I was in my own world I heard a knock at my door, “Dear may I come in?” It was my mother.
“Yes,” I answered still smiling. The door opened revealing my mother who had a describable expression on her face. “Mother, are you feeling fine?” I asked.
She looked at me confused and then smiled. “Oh honey, I am fine. I just wanted to talk to you for a minute.”
I nodded. “You may continue.”
“Are you sure you want to go through with this?” My mom asked me.
I looked at her if she was serious and chuckled. “Mom why wouldn’t I? I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I am excited.”
My mom looked at me surprised. “Are you sure you’re not just saying this because your father and I want you too?”
I rolled my eyes and walked over to my mother and grabbed her hands. “Mom I am certain that this is what I want. This right here is my heaven on earth.”
My mother smiled and broke her hands from mine, and caressed my face. She looked at my eyes and then all over my face. “Wow, you are so beautiful, Julia.” My mom said while smiling.
I smiled right back at her. “Mom I got it from you.”
That was very true. My mom was so beautiful. Her brown orbs were so pretty and it matched her pretty hazel hair. Her skin is so fair and I have never seen a pimple or blackhead on her face.
“Okay, sweetie well the quests should be arriving in a bit. You hurry and finish what you were doing.” She turned and walked off to the door, but before she was fully out of it she turned to me and smiled, “I know he will love you. You have an amazing heart.” She nodded and then walked out of my room closing the door behind her.
I turned and looked back in the mirror and smiled. “This is my heaven on earth,” I said to myself.
