When the sun rose from between the trees, the light that was reflected on Snow's room seemed to look like a fresh honeycomb Decorated with red roses, her room was filled with life not just luxury, a whole world of her own. Colors, books, papers all over the floor, no one was allowed to move a single piece unless they were told to. She opened her eyes to glimpse a blurry vision of the gold ornamented ceiling. she turned her thighs moving her whole body towards the window to see the curtains flutter around, an entire landscape of trees and mountains, the sun that bloomed among them made an artistic scenery with each breath of wind it created a peculiar symphony. She shoved her blanket off with her legs kicking it, she spread her arms taking a deep breath closing her eyes to enjoy her daily morning routine.

Aemelia nocked the door with a tray of two candles and warm water, each candle held the scent of the fresh earthy dew. She held the cup with her right and etched her eyes with another. " Good morning, milady. Did you sleep well?" Aemelia asked, putting the tray on the circled nightstand, Snow said clearing her throat "Umh...yeah" Aemelia took the cup as it finished and rushed for breakfast preparation. Snow crawled on the other side of her bed, now that she has the energy after a relaxing sleep she walked to the window and put her hands on its boarder breathing in and out.

All was peaceful until a thumping sound came from the door. "Princess, may I come in?" She Puckered her lips with a frown over her eyes, "come in.", "Princess, his majesty the emperor is asking for your presence in the dining room, he wishes to eat breakfast with lady Grimhilde.", Snow's heart went pounding, a line of tears emerged on her eyelid. she lowered her head hiding her eyes with her bangs, pointing at the door dismissing the maid. She sat in front of her bed and crunched herself feeling anxious and angry altogether. She stood up slowly and rang the bell. A maid entered, Snow looked up to see who might this maid be, She was surprised to know who she is, she's Lily! The sweet, gentle girl. She drew closer to her and stroke her hair "Princess...?" She widened her eyes knitting her brows together "Princess Snow, why are you crying" she crossed her arms around her head. A waterfall of tears burst from Snow's eyes while Lily was patting her back gently, "it's okay princess, we can wait a bit, we don't have to be in a rush...", Snow's small hands were Grabbing onto Lily's white dress trembling on her feet, sniveling all over her dress.

A few minutes have passed, murmuring increased affront of the room, Snow dodged Lily's patting hand to avoid the commotion that might happen, "Lily, let's hurry..." she said sweeping her tears off of her red puffy face, "Yes, I'll bring you cold water, Princess. otherwise his majesty will know you were crying.", "No need! I'll wear whatever!", "But Princess...You have to wear neat clothes at least...you have to look strong against your fears, good clothes make high self-esteem and effect people around you,, isn't that right...?", Snow looked confused from her own feelings so she decided to trust Lily, she nodded her head lightly, Lily smiled and went through her closet right away. Snow ate the hidden sweets under her bed while she was waiting for Lily to pick her a stylish outfit, she picked her a new dress, she wore it hurridly but gladly, it was the best choice, the sun reflected dazzlingly on it! She walked out from her room with her hair in a bun and some braides decorating it, a lot of fluffy hair strands were flowing among her pinkish flowy dress, a confident grin was held along, nothing could describe her beauty. her eyes confused a lot of people. Not angry, not happy, yet holding a strong emotion, You can look at her eyes for hours and still won't know what's behind them.

She took a deep breath before entering the dining room, "Open the door." She tightened her grip and took a large step into the dining room, to meet the well-known "lady Grimhilde".
