MQueen Rose stretched as she woke up in her bed.
She gently sat up and smiled to herself as she looked at the rays of bright sunshine amidst the already falling snow.
For the first time in a very long time very long time she woke up excitedly and began to loosen the long single braid she had on.
When she was done she began to come through it.
She was already half way through picking out her dress for the day when her maids came in.
They were shocked to see her packing up and arranging her things.
"Your majesty." The young girl who was named Mary and frequently attended to her needs said in alarm. "You are already up."
Then Mary and the other servant girl Jenny hurried curtseyed their eyes staring right down at the ground.
"It was our mistake to come late. We should have attended to you since. Forgive us your majesty." Jenny hurriedly apologized.
Rose waved her hand to dismiss their apology.
"Do not worry about that." She said with a smile. "How can you even apologize to me when you did nothing wrong?"
The girls looked at each other.
"Your majesty it is our duty to see to your needs and serve you." Jenny said.
"But you came at the appropriate time." Rose said. "You did nothing wrong. I simply wanted to get up earlier and do things by myself. How were either of you supposed to know this."
The girls looked at each other still unsure of what to say.
Rose smiled as she picked up a candle that the was by her night stand.
She blew the fire away and walked up to Mary and handed it to her.
"I simply want to do things for a change today. And now that you both are here, you could help me get water ready for my bath."
She bathed their shoulders and gave them a smile before heading to the closet.
Once she was done bathing and now in her bathrobe, Hildegard came in.
Hildegard was the Queen’s best friend and her handmaiden since she was a child.
Both of them had grown up together and had been inseparable since.
"Hello Hildegard." Rose said as she smiled and put her earrings to her ear. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Why are you in such a good mood today Hildegard eyed her suspiciously.
It had been a very long time that Rose had been this happy.
Rose gave in a heavy sigh.
"Everything is just perfect today. Do you not think? The weather is nice. The flowers smell lovely. Everywhere is just amazing." Rose giggled.
"Girl are you nuts?" Hildegard said looking at her like she was deranged.
They were so close that Hildegard referred to Rose as if she were her equal.
"First off, the weather is horrible. There is a blizzard outside and then there are no flower scenting because the snow has dealt with most of them."
"You are boring." Rose said as she rolled her eyes and turned to face her mirror.
"Maybe, but I also know you enough to know that something has you excited. And tell me what it is." Hildegard gave her a smile.
"Alright." Rose said raising her hand up and eventually giving up. "I decided to start over."
Hildegard crossed her brows. "Start over what do you mean by that?"
Rose sighed as the maids sprayed scenting oils on her hair.
"I have decided to let go of Scarlet." Rose raised after a short while.
