Oly awoke from the late night she had had the misfortune of acquiring. Being a military tactician was a hard job, especially when there are so many small tribes that are trying to take over parts of your damn kingdom. Propping herself up on her elbow, she gave a large yawn clearly showing her failure to sleep properly. Ushering the maids away, she moved to the bathroom, where she climbed into the shower and washed for a good hour and a half; completely ignoring the calls of the maids. After finally stepping out, she began to don the [url=http://www.dresschic.co.uk/458-4580-thickbox/majestic-purple-satin-short-bridesmaid-dress-with-deep-cowl-back.jpg]dress[/url] her parents specifically asked for her to wear. Her parents never really asked for anything other than help with the kingdom, so it was nice for her to do something they asked once in a while. Other than that Oly was almost left to her own devices. The maid brushed her hair into a beautiful braid for the special day she would meet her future husband. Not that she was excited in the least, since she had heard rumours he was a loud character that liked activities such as sport and enjoyed cars and bikes. Definitely not the kind of person Oly would choose to marry, but it was her parents request. Maybe if she found someone else she could change their minds. But until then it would have to wait. [u]"Oly come quickly. We must get to Aciras soon or we may miss something important."[/u] Marianne called, standing by the entrance of the tertiary home the family had been staying in for a few days. [u]"That and we would like for you to meet your future husband straight away."[/u] Claus added, looking up at his now grown up daughter who was now at the age to become a true ruler. If anything today might just turn out well, since it was said Aciras would have a great banquet. That was exciting, but Oly hoped there were no more exotic bugs she would have to deal with. One life threatening illness from that country was enough, let alone a fear of insects from it. [b]"Yes I'm coming. How long is the flight going to take?"[/b] OLy asked, stepping up to her father and hugging him, [b]"We are fairly close to Aciras right? I can't take that long."[/b] Apparently it was going to be about an hour flight. If there were no delays maybe it would take less time, but there was no point dwelling on that point. Oly checked her bag to make sure she had her chess piece and her handkerchief. [u]"I wish you wouldn't carry that piece around. It makes you seem arrogant. That and there will be no time for playing chess when we arrive.[/u] her mother stated. Of course she was right, but it was always nice to have it with her in case she did get to play. The family eventually made their way to the castle, climbing out of the car only a couple minutes late. Hearing the welcoming made Oly feel... Lost, to a point. She had been to other kingdoms, yes, but none were such big events. She really felt like she didn't belong, even if she did. She began to worry slightly. Yes she and her parents could essentially run the country from their tablet, but that really defeated the purpose. What if another nation that wasn't invited attacked? That was her greatest fear of all; her nation being destroyed. It was highly unlikely to happen, given Brittania's advanced military, but still... She really wasn't comfortable staying away from home for such an extended period of time. She would likely warm up to it eventually, but for now... For now she would just have to deal with it and hope that things don't go pear shaped.
