Amelia/Stunning Dress

From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 03:13, 6 April 2015

You decide to show whoever it is you're marrying that he caught himself a far greater treasure in you than the title of Crown Prince, so you pick out one of your most stunning dresses and allow the maids to dress you up without giving them any notice. You delight in your own beautiful form in front of the mirror for a while and enjoy the jealousy of the maids glaring at you.

Ah, the stupid little people who always want more. They think they'd be happy if they were you, but truth is : what makes them unhappy is their own greed. No matter how much they have, they always want more. You have long realized that the way to happiness is simply to use the talents you have to your best ability and delight in your achievements. Even if others may be better than you - that doesn't mean you are any less good.

Of course, it leads them to think you are a self-centered bitch with a superiority complex. But you don't really care; people who aren't either capable or amusing hold no interest to you. As long as they don't cross you anyway, making dumb people who annoy you pay in creative ways could be considered as one of your hobbies.

You pull yourself from your thoughts as you hear a knock on the door. "Let them in," you order one of the maids. She swiftly complies and you see a servant in the entrance. You recognize him as one of the stable boys called Willem. You took notice of him because he seemed to genuinely care about the horses and do his best at his tasks. You personally requested the stable master to let him take care of your horse. Not that you'd ever tell him of course - it'd only go to his head.

"You have a message for me, servant-boy?" you interrupt mockingly before he could speak up.

He stands there for a second, confused by you interrupting him. "Err.. yes, your carriage has been prepared and the escort is waiting for you downstairs, milady."

"Very well. Tell them I'll be there shortly," you say and hand him 20 Aruns - a very generous tip from a servant's point of view. Being generous isn't very common for you but the boy did help improve your mood quite a bit, even if he didn't do it on purpose.

"Y-yes milady" he blurts out happily and runs off. You let a little chuckle escape and prepare to go downstairs.

Perhaps you should say your goodbyes before leaving, but they'd probably waste your time with pointless sentimentality.. There's also a couple of the servants and guards you could stand to have around, maybe you should figure out a way to add them to your escorts.

You:

Lure some of the more capable servants into joining you.

Go say your goodbyes to everyone.

Decide you don't want to deal with any further nuisances and head straight for your carriage.
