Pleasure

Dinner went by very quietly and awkwardly. I was glad when it was all over. I needed to rest and try to be ready for the next day of training.

I left my mother and father in the dining room and head back to my room to lay down. My head was throbbing from the pain of getting jabbed with a metal sword, and the frustration of what was expected of me.

As I sat on my bed to lay down, there was a knock on the door. I got up and opened the door to find Lorelie standing there with a basket filled with jars and bandages.

She wore her hair completely down with a black butterfly hairpin that pulled back one side of her hair as the other side fell over the side of her face.

She was wearing a black V-neck dress with gold trim that stopped above her knees. It was nothing like her uniform she normally wore. Her skin looked so soft and beautiful, like it was glowing.
