Anastasia returned back to the castle with him, waving slightly to those they passed in the streets. When they got back, she climbed off her horse and was prepared to brush it down only to have it taken away and Gerald link arms with her. She looked at him, slightly surprised. He gave her a soft smile, "Come along, Princess, I have much to teach you."

She nodded and gave Samsul a fleeting glance. She was sure that he was going to come along, he had followed her everywhere else after all.... There was even that mishap when he was standing in her room when she was getting dressed. She let Gerald take her to an empty room. He handed her a few books, "You posture is the first thing I want to work on. The Queen has given me instructions to make you appear to be a perfect princess but she wants you to be who you are. Just in finer gowns, better posture, and less colloquial language.... She wants you to feel like you fit in while remaining a girl from the country... So, we'll educate you and teach you how a Princess acts, posture, dance, eating, and speaking but we want you to treat servants and people as you normally would. I've already heard wonderful things from your chamber maids about you... Thus, I don't believe that will be much of a problem."
