The Reincarnated Mate

The Pretty Lady

Another year had flown by while Thiassess didn't nurse from her mother anymore, but was being fed by her hand at dinner while they ate. Thiassess would get distracted by something in the corner of her eye and she waved smiling with food on her face. Due to her turning her head to look at the Pretty Lady that passed behind the servants. Thought the servants would wave back at her just to be polite before the King and queen before turning back going to do their chores.

"Thia..." Queen Helia said getting her daughter's attention, Thia turned and looked at her mother while she smiled. "Mama." Thia's angelic voice made the Queen smile softly at her daughter as she wiped the food off her face. She giggled a bit while Atha twisted her light blue dress under the table smiling sweetly at her baby sister. Her gem flame-colored eyes narrowed as she watched her observing silently not understanding how and why she got their mother wrapped around her little finger.

"Mother, father. In three years will be the ball for all the kingdoms to come and meet their suited partners. Would now be the best time we started teaching Thiassess proper manors? I mean, she is still young and some basic etiquette would be useful and easier for her to learn when the time comes. Nothing too hard, just not talking with her mouth full." She picked up her napkin and wiped her face with a passion that fueled her heart, she loved all of her other siblings, but Thiassess rubbed her the wrong way. She reached up moving a few strands of her two-toned colored hair out of her face before picking up her glass and sipping the diluted wine.

King Uldreyin sat back looking at his elder daughter while she spoke. "We will allow her to be, for now,  she will know the basics, Atha. You know that we don't start teaching and didn't start teaching you and your siblings until all of you could manage on your own. When she turns five, she will be taught etiquette just like you and your siblings. By then your brother should be back from him establishing his own fief he will choose himself a bride and once he has chosen. Your husband will be chosen." He said standing up along with their mother, who picked up Thiassess to take her to be ready for a nap. 

Uldreyin and Helia walked to Thiasses room which was now different from the Nursery where she spent most of her time in the first year and a half there. Once she stopped nursing she was given a spacious room and bed so she could grow into it. Tallia took the princess bathed her changed her helping her to the potty before dressing her again for her mid-morning nap. They were amazed at how she could take two naps a day and still go to bed early at night and sleep till dawn. Though, since she was still a toddler and didn't have a spiteful bone in her body she laid there sleeping for ten minutes.

Then the bed dipped and Thiassess's eyes opened as she sat up. "Petty Lady." She said smiling rubbing her eyes, the woman had long hair black as night but with jewels that shimmered like stars in the night sky. Her face was covered by a veil that hid her features. Her dress bore many colors of the night sky various pinks and purples, mixed with reds, black, and gold while spots of silver sparkled along with the dress much like her hair. She reached up placing a hand on Thia's head and gently patted her. "You are going to have a lot of trouble growing up. Little one." She said smiling softly stroking her hair. "Are you ready for your lessons?" The chime song like voice said sweetly that only Thia could hear and she nodded. 

With the help of the Pretty Lady Thiassess slipped off the bed there was a place where Tallia placed various things for her to use, one was dull pieces of charcoal for her to draw with and scraps of paper to draw on. She watched Thiasses as she scribbled drawing pretend to write how she watched her mother and father when they held her during their time of work. "Very good, little one." She said smiling behind the veil as she helped her up cleaning her up and putting her back to bed. She covered her eyes and Thia fell asleep again for about fifteen more minutes before being woken up by Tallia. The sweet scent of something that she couldn't find and the scent disappeared once she was awake a sweet dream. 

Thia sat up looking at Tallia and smiled brightly. "Petty Lady came." She said sweetly as she crawled off the bed and fell on her butt then back onto the fur rug that was placed there just in case she fell off it would be a soft landing for the small princess. "We dew and talked." She said getting up unphased as she teeters over to the papers picking them up and carries them over to Tallia. "Seeee" She said proudly of her work and her drawing of her family and writing though just mostly scribbles.
