Diary Of Lily The Sleeping Princess (2) “Lily, such a lovely name.” the Queen said still smiling “What have happened to your dress. You looked as if you been attacked.” the King said looking at me. Testing me “ No sir I just don’t like looking like a giant bottle of toothpaste.” I blurted out I saw the Prince eyes light up and a smile spread across his face and other in the back ground giggle and some gasped but when the King looked up it all ceased and his smile was gone. Impressive I thought. He looked me in the eyes again. “ We summoned you here Lily to give you proper thanks for saving my son Prince Draken.” she said with a curtsy smile. Draken? That was his name I was heavenly. In Sakken it meant swift wolf. Had they known that. Was she from the tribes and if she end up here. “Yes,” the King pick up where she lift off. “Queen Dawnlight and I are very grateful for your brave act in rescuing the Prince.” Dawnlight? Yes she was from the tribe no doubt. Gloria had once mention the name before but she never went into detail I thought it was just all stories’ had to test my theory. “Alore.” I said. Which mean your welcome in Sakken. I saw the expression on Queen Dawnlight’s face. She was a little shocked then smiled. “ You are Familiar with the language of Sakken?” she asked “ Yes Lady Dawnlight.” I replied. Why was I so proper all of a sudden I asked my self. Then finally it happened. He spoke. “Yes madam Lily I am so very grateful. If it was for you I would be a goner.” his voice was so smooth and deepen all at once. I was blown away by this. He stood there smiling a pearl white smile and eyes brighter then ever. For a moment I had forgot that the King , Queen and a hundreds people where staring at us. I almost for got to breathing again. My heart was pounded out of my chest. Then I realize. I, Lily had fallen for a royal. “Lady Lily.” Queen Dawnlight cut in “Just Lily madam I am nothing of royalty just a simple street girl.” “ Not any more.” She said with a authority like voice. “From this moment on you are Lady Lily and you shall stay here as a permanent guest in repayment as for the life of Prince Draken.” I looked around. I wasn’t the only one shocked. It was the king, Prince Draken and the hundreds of people. “Oh Queen Dawnlight I mustn’t I.” she didn’t let me finish “Oh you must. King Scotton and I would be honor.” she said studying me That’s when I knew it wasn’t a invite. Scotton? That is a not a tribe name he must be from the inner city I thought. Not like it mattered at the time. I was forced to become royal. Me! A royal! My chest started to hurt. I wasn’t breathing again. Then I thought how I could be with him. After that it all ran through my head. TOJI! My book! “What have become of my bag and my companion Toji?” I asked in a panic “That filthy mutt that followed people to the hospital and from there here?” Said The King in disgust “Yes sir. Toji is my champion and I value him very much.” “If I am not mistaken he is outside. No mater what the guards did he kept coming back.” “They didn’t hurt him did they! Sir.” I was really panicking now. My poor Toji. This is why royal’s disgust me so “ No he is not hurt.” he said in regret. I felt my face getting hot. I couldn’t believe it. I spoke next in the stern voice that once again shocked the people around us. “ I will not stay with out him. He is my only family.” King Scotton inhaled as if he was ready to give the order for the guards to sick me like vicious dogs but then Queen Dawnlight spoke up. “Very well Lady Lily he will be brought in and groomed then sent to you.” I was completely stunned. Had I go my way with the king and queen? “Thank you Madam.” I said bowing. This now makes sense writing it. The Sakken tribe as Gloria told me valued animal champions as if they were brothers and sisters. Of course she understood how I felt. Then the next question. My book. Well you. What have they don’t to you and did they read you. I left you on the bank when I was in the lake. My private thoughts being read by royals. Just thinking about it made me red with embarrassment. “What have become of my belongs? In particular a brown bag with a book inside.?” I asked afraid of the answer. I was expecting to pull it out in my face and say here it is. We read it all. This was all a joke and now we will throw you in dark cell for you to rot. That might have been better then the answer I got. It made me feel relief and like such a idiot. Once again my specialty. “It was place upon your bed on the nightstand table.” King Scotton said puzzled. My room? Well I didn’t look I thought. Why? Then I remember. When I woke I went half naked from the floor and bed. I was too busy trying to release my body to see it. Also when the Prince. Oh no! Not that thought again. I knew this time I was red. I looked Prince Draken in the eyes. He most have known I was remember the tragedies because he then bowed his head and he too changed colors. “Are you alright?” Queen Dawnlight asked me in concern. “Yes Queen Dawnlight.” Did she know I thought at that moment. “We are happy you accepted our offer.” The King began. As if I had a choice I thought. He stood up. “Bow Lily.” I did like a obedient dog. He then spoken in a mighty voice. “As everyone here as witness. Lily who saved our beloved Prince Draken from sudden death is and will be now know as Lady Lily.” Everyone stood up and clapped their royal hands. I looked up at Prince Draken who was smiling at me as well as Queen Dawnlgiht. This was too much it couldn’t be real. Then I heard the King speak “We will send up a dress designer so you wont be fearing of looking like a tube a toothpaste and cutting up their hard work.” I tried to smile then my head got light. It racing with all that just happened. I saw blackness and again I fainted. I was becoming quite good at that. Another useful skill. I then awoke and sure enough found you on the night table. Toji was on the end of my mega bed. When he saw me lift my head up he jumped on me wagging his tail and licking my face. I finally got him to calm down then I took a good look at him. He was not the Toji that he was when first had him. His fur was perfectly fluffed and I could smell the fruit shampoo. He even had a collar around his neck. There was a knock. Making sure I was covered in the blanket I called out. “Come in.” The door open and it was the woman from the first day. “Lady Lily I brought you supper.” she said machine like. Wow I went from stealing food out of royal’s trash to being served as one. “Thank you ..umm.” “Crystal.” she finished “Thank you so very much Crystal.” She just nodded and brought in trays of food . I was so hungry. “How long have I a been asleep?” “Two days.” She said plainly. I almost choked and it was on air.
