Chapter 11 - Start to Worry

A/N:

Yo, I feel like a carrot

___________________________________________________________________________________

The ceiling in her room was cream white, the sun is rising. Leigh was coincidentally staring at the ceiling above her with lazy eyes. The silence made her senses heighten, she could hear the birds, the scurrying maids outside in the hall, and her own heartbeat. Her eyes moved from the ceiling to the right side of her bed she gazed at the picture of daisies on her bedside. She slightly turned over to the right so her eyes wouldn't ache from the uncomfortable position.

Mimi opened the door gently, she peeked in. Her heels made small little clacks on the the hardwood floor, she entered the room. "Lady Leigh?"

It had been two weeks since the crowning ceremony, and after that day Leigh had been tasked with rigorous magic, physical, and mental training. At the moment her body was horribly sore, she had aches and pain in every single bone to the crevices of her knees.

Leigh's eyes lingered on the picture, Mimi walked closer to the girl's bed she gazed at Leigh with sympathy. "It's time to begin the morning lecture...We need to hurry and get you dressed before 9AM" Her voice was caring, as well as smooth.

Leigh's eyes closed once more before she accepted her fate, she opened them slowly as they shifted in Mimi's direction. She stared at her personal maid "A-At l-l-least tell me...They have a hot bath ready?" Leigh was truly hesitant in getting out of bed, but she had no choice, her fear would force her too. Mimi chuckled slightly "Yes we do, we have the rose petals soaking in the bath" Leigh immediately jumped out of bed throwing the covers,

"MEROOWWWW!!"

and once again Bomba on the floor

Leigh stopped her quick movements and glanced over her shoulder, Mimi's shook her head at the girls actions.

"Lady Leigh, I suggest you be more careful. This is basically considered animal abuse" Mimi said walking around the bed, she got down on her knees to pick up the Russian blue cat.

It was 7AM and she was supposed to take a bath, put on formal clothing so tight that she could barely breathe and then a rigorous session of magic and physical training?!

Now that is abuse...

Leigh felt her anger boil, was this King really testing how far her patience could go?

She decided right then and there next time she would meet with that evil King, she wouldn't do as he says!

Not even if it killed her!

The mans eyes lingered, watching the girls expressions. She twiddled with her pencil staring at the paper, she bit her lip intensely almost to the point of blood leaking from her lip. Rein's expression remained blank while he watched Leigh struggle with the paper in front of her.

She didn't really understand what was happening at this point. Currently, she was sitting in a large room with the King, while he enjoyed watching from his comfortable chair. To her demise she had to finish this weird puzzle the King made himself. All the confidence she had earlier wasn't there anymore.

"Why me?" ໒( ಥ Ĺ̯ ಥ )७

Leigh sighed in defeat and placed the pencil down gently, she raised her head to look at the King. Their eyes met, and she couldn't help but hear her heartbeat pace faster, presumably out of fear.

"What is it?" Rein asked, he had a poker face which made it harder for Leigh to choose her words carefully.

"Well...You're Majesty, I want to ask...what is the puzzle exactly about?" Leigh said calmly, though you could tell that her voice was a bit shaken.

Rein had is elbow on the desk and his face leaning against his hand "That's up to you to figure out, critical thinking" his finger tapped the side of his head.

It took all of the girls might to not attack this man he aggravated her deeply to her core. Leigh forced a smile and picked up her pencil slowly.

"This damn King!!!!" (‡▼益▼)
