You thankfully dont encounter any more traps on your way, and your hair is almost completely dry by the time you find your father.

*Hello honey.... youre 16 now, so its time for you to start preparing to become queen... I know your stepmother likely wont be happy about this, but youre the rightful heir currently, so you must begin your training immediately.* The king, your father, tells you as he faces you.

*I have assigned several tutors to teach you any skills youll need to know before you are elegible to be coronated, I have a list right here you can choose two classes from* He says as he hands you a paper with some classes listed on it. *Pick a morning class and afternoon class for the week, you can always change what classes youre taking next week, and the weekends are still your own time* Your father explains

"Sounds good." Orkha nodded. "I'll take Country History and Strategy." she immediately said, scannign the list. She liked history-that'd be fun-and Strategy...well, maybe she'd learn ways to avoid Owen and his annoying pranks. Which would be a releif.

(I wont, though I recommend having more detailed posts because even if theyre more time consuming, theyre easier to build a better narrative with and helps me determine more about characters and how to construct the story to fit them better)

You look at the letter- instantly recognizing the seal from your cousin, the duchess of a large province in northern Mythical. You quickly scan the letter

Dear Clover

My parents are allowing me to host my own ball for the first time in about 3 weeks time on Saturday. I would like to formally invite you to attend the gathering, and I truly hope you will be able to attend the event. If you plan on joining the festivities, please write me back as soon as possible.

-Your cousin, Gardenia

(Also I may have asked this already, but what two classes are you going to take for the next week? Or if youre keeping them the same)

( swich every month.)
( i can't spell every thing. should she call her parents mother and father.)

Clover gets up and brings the letter to tell her parents about it, and asking to go

*Very well... the location of the classes are also on the list, you should prepare and head over to your lessons soon... also, the princess of a neighboring country, Kalopsia, has invited our family to attend her 19th birthday party, which will be occurring in two weeks, I expect you to prepare accordingly if you decide to attend the event.* He says, then dismissing you to leave with a brief wave of his hand

"i'll attend, might as well start makign good relations. Wait...Do i have to bring Owen if I go?" She hopes not....

(You can call them Mother and Father if youd like to, its mostly a personal choice)

*Yes, Clover, we will permit you to go to the ball, just remember to keep yourself safe, and try not to draw too much attention to yourself if you dont know proper etiquette* Queen Fern says, a little skeptical of the safety of the matter, but deciding to let you have your fun and freedom.

In your morning classes, you learn about what drinks you should order what what foods and what foods are appropriate for specific types of events and formalities.

In your afternoon classes, your teacher pokes a long stick as you, jabbing as swiping lightly for you to practice dodging

The play is today, and you should prepare accordingly

*We will be attending as a family... so, yes, you have to bring Owen if you go* Your stepmother says as she enters the room silently and unannounced, clearly unamused by your unenthusiastic tone about bringing him along. *Now why dont you start preparing for your classes, you have much learning to do* She says dismissively

i put on something nice, put not too formal
then put my sister in one of her nicer dresses

Orkha nods and leaves. Oh great..she groans internally. That means hours on end sitting next to Owen and when we get there I'm probably gonna have gum in my hair and stains on my clothes She heads for her classes.
