The sunshines through her bedrooms window and the birds singing their morning song awake Ara from her slumber. Instead of throwing her pillow over head like she wishes she could do she stumbles out of bed. Going over to the mirror to check her reflection. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAo8O9Vw8oZP

Tangled and messed up ebony hair and crusty tired eyes reflect back at her. It not much different than normal but her night gown was the smoothest and sofest violet satin gown she has ever had. It makes it harder for her to want to change. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAXRQkN65jWY

Ara starts to roam her new bedroom instead of going to her bassinet like she ought too. The room is bigger and painted in the Avalorian Royal color, lilac purple. She hadn't been aware but the Avalorian believe purple to be the color of Royalty. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAgji4mQSLfS

Ara shakes her head and goes to the beautiful tassle near her bassinet and rings her maid. Well she waits she gets a head start and pours the water into the bassinet. Ara cups the water and splashes it on her face. That's excalty what she needed to perk her up. It's why almost every morning as a child she bathed in cold water. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAfEavJi4lT2

A knock on the door is heard and her maid Annalise appears. One down side to being in Avalor is that they could not bring their English servants with them. "Yes, your highness?" Anna cursty and moves to help her Princess. "What excalty is planned for the day?" Ara questions as she knows vaguely that most of her day is learning more of Avalorian protocol and traditions. 231Please respect copyright.PENANABPEW8cbzsw

"Breakfast with the Royal Family, then you have your etiquette lessons and your.." Anna drones on as she pulls out a list. It doesn't look to bad to Ara until the list falls to the ground. "Er, Pardon me but is it truly that long?" Ara nervousness leaks through. "Oh no, just meticulous with planning a schedule" Anna's voice sooths her like honey on a cutt. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAivJmPc1Eav

Anna leads her to the dinning room and on the table she sees an array of food from savory to sweet. Croissants, muffins, jams, butter to meats, cheese, pies are all over the table. You think there was an army coming and not a breakfast for two families. She grabbed some fruit, a sausage and toast with jam and butter. She only got to yell a goodbye to her family before she was rushed to etiquette lessons. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAbDgYJrHkEd

Standing infront of her is Christopher, their mama thought she be hitting two birds with one stone by having him teach. She wants her children to be closer and yet it them both it's as if they are stuck in the mud and cannot move. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAp6jiqgza6M

"Ara" Chris sternly exclaims as he waves his hand infront of her face, "Are you even listening to me?". Ara sits straighter and stops day dreaming and actually starts to pay attention to her brother. "I am" Ara pauses and continues "Well I am not anyway". Chris slams the book infront of her hands. Ara flinches on instinct and fear. 231Please respect copyright.PENANA3jOZXCJKdK

That tone of voice and the fire in his eyes is something she hasn't seen in her brothers eyes, until now. It hits her like lighting and burns like a fire. Ara hates dispointment and anger from anyone. Even more so from her loved one and Chris sighs. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAReFrT4hKK2

"You have to pay attention" Chris lectures and Ara can't help but roll her eyes. "You disrespect our culture, you disrespect our people" Chris narrows his eyes and ignores her, she never takes anything he says seriously. Chris is reasonable and a leader, Ara is youthful and hopeful. Ara realizes he must think she isn't taking this seriously.231Please respect copyright.PENANAhuGi6Wu5La

"I would never disrespect our people or our culture" she spat out and stands up, the screeching sound of the chair is the only sound. "I know you must kids the check and bow or curtsy as a greeting, I know I always have to be on mama's right and never her left, I know we have to leave our outside shoes and put on inside shoes" Ara rattles on listing all of the things she has learned and adapted too.231Please respect copyright.PENANA430iTHUm27

"Don't think for a second I haven't been trying" Aras cheeks are red and hair falls infront of her face. She can feel the frustration in her lessen. Ara is so tired of feeling hurt and frustrated. She misses the days when things were simpler. Some part of her wishes she never was a Flores. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAzsOmxlrU13

This is her attempt to get him to soften up and be a bit more patient but it doesn't work. Chris's face hardens and the fire dies only to be replaced by ice. "You're best isn't good enough" Chris seeths and leaves the room. Ra watches him rush out the room only to pass by her twin, Theo. Confusions etched his face and he looks back and forth unsure of what to do. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAu5tZMbYuyL

"What just... you know. I don't want to know" Theo shutts the door behind him and goes over to see a bunch of parchment sprawled all over on the table. "This is all just dignitary etiquette" Theo flips through even more parchment all the same except that one section of Royal etiquette. 231Please respect copyright.PENANA6CnTDpKAQt

"History is just as important as social squabble" Theo just takes his arms and swipes everything off the table. All except the quill and ink, such an expensive luxury. "We have been around since July, 12,827 After the death of our lord. Our own family has ruled for only the past three hundred years.". 231Please respect copyright.PENANAFKcb4oiymm

Ara just feels her eyelids get more and more heavy for her and she jerks her head. By the grace of God she hears a tapping sound coming from window. Ara quietly as she can gets up and darts for the door. Ara hears Chris calling for her but she ignores him. 231Please respect copyright.PENANAPDPsTKUwUN
