Woodwork

"Are you coming in? Or are you just going to remain standing there??" asked Liam as he snapped Wura out of her racing thoughts.

She looked like she was being lead into a dungeon as she said nothing at all and she just stood there staring at the door as if there was something invisible that Liam could not see what written there.

"Ahhh…" said Wura as she snapped out of her thoughts.

"It seems that you are scared" said Liam as he could sense Wura's uneasiness as if he was leading her into the Lion's den.

"No… No of course not" said Wura as she immediately denied, even though she was actually feeling scared, as if she was now going to be a prisoner if she dare walked through that door, but of course there was no way on the earth that she would admit her worries and fears to this man.

"Oh is that so?" asked Liam as he was expectant to see what it is that she would come up with next.

"Yes of course it is so" said Wura very proudly.

"I was just admiring the intricate designs on the beautiful door, the carver and carpenter did a very good job with the design, the door's pattern is very intriguing " said Wura.

"I never knew that you were so interested in wood work Lady Diwura" said Liam.

"Well that is because you do not know me at all" said Wura.

"That you are right about" said Liam.

"That is because you do not want me to get to know you" said Liam to himself.

"Well I believe that is enough of admiring the woodwork" said Liam as he began to walk and Wura followed after him.

"Good Evening your highness" said Dawn as she bowed as Liam turned to the corner.

"Good Evening" said Liam.

"Where is lady Marli" asked Liam.

"Ahh well your highness, Lady Marli was feeling tired, so she retired to her chamber, and she had asked me to assist you in anything you need your highness" said Dawn as she nodded her head.

"Alright then, very well" said Liam.

"Good Evening my princess" said Dawn as she smiled and she bowed as she finally realized that Wura was standing right behind Liam.

"Good Evening" said Wura as she smiled at Dawn.

"Where is the room of the Princess??" asked Liam.

Wura was still not used to being called a Princess, every time she heard someone call her that, she always usually forgot that she was the one being referred to.

"Please follow me your highness" said Dawn as she slowly moved her head and she began to walk.

"Alright" said Liam as he followed after Dawn and Wura followed after him.

It was not long that they started walking that Dawn stopped right in front of a door and she opened the door.

"Your room my princess" said Dawn as she walked into the room that was now fully furnished, the room was well lit and Wura could tell you that it was three times bigger than her room back at home.

It was then that Liam began to think that it would have been a better idea for him to have sent for Wura's belongings before now, because Wura's room looked very scanty right now.

He was sure that if Wura had least had all her belongings here she would feel more at home.

"I hope that this room is to your liking my princess" said Dawn as she turned to look at Wura and she bowed.

"Yes… yes it is, thank you" said Wura as she smiled at Dawn, this was even beyond her liking, the room was decorated so well the floors were sparking, and the room was very lit, there was light everywhere, and best of all she had a very big bed and she could see many closets.

"This is beyond my liking" said Wura as she smiled and Liam smiled, he was happy that she liked the room, after all, all he wanted was for her to be happy and for her to feel at home in the Castle, this would be her new home now after all.

"I am glad that you think so my princess" said Dawn as she smiled, their new princess was a very nice and polite lady, and her smile was very welcoming.

"Well that would be all, you may go now" said Liam as he turned to look at Dawn.

"Alright your highness, please take care, and have a goodnight my princess" said Dawn as she looked at Liam and then at Wura.

"I will, thank you, and the same for you" said Wura as she smiled and Dawn smiled at her once again before she bowed and left the room.

Now it was only Wura and Liam left in the big room and she tried her best to avoid his eyes.

"I too am glad that you like your new room" said Liam as he smiled.

"Well, the Castle itself is beautiful, so why would I not like it??" asked Wura as she did not look at Liam at all.

"I am also glad that you think so" said Liam.

"Mhmm" said Wura.

"How is his Majesty??" asked Wura as she finally remembered that she had been so rude as not to ask after his Majesty, who was a very kind man, unlike his son.

"He is doing well" said Liam as he smiled, he knew that underneath all that pride, and rudeness to him, there was a very wonderful woman, who cared for others.

"In fact he is looking forward to seeing you" said Liam as he smiled.

"And I am looking forward to seeing him as well" said Wura as she smiled, she considered his Majesty a Grandfather that she never had, he was always so jovial and smiling, and most of all he treated everyone equal.

"I will make sure to inform him of that" said Liam.

"Mhmm" said Wura as the room suddenly went quiet once again, and she and Liam just stood there in utter silence, only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Just then when Wura thought that she was about to die from the sheer amount of uncomfortableness in the room, a knock on the door ended all of it.

"Oh sweet relief" said Wura to herself as she sighed in relief.

"Please Enter" said Wura as she and Liam turned to look at the door.

"Your belongings my princess" said the coachman as he entered Wura's room with many boxes and bags.

"Thank you" said Wura as she smiled.

"Just set them there please" said Wura as she pointed to an empty area in her room.

"You are welcome my princess" said the Coachman as she smiled and he set down Wura's things as he bowed and walked away.

"Is this all you brought with you??' asked Liam as the coachman left and closed the door behind him.

"Well yes" said Wura a she turned to look at Liam.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Wura.

"Well No" said Liam as he had just expected that Wura would bring more than she did.

The truth was that Wura only brought a few of the things she had along with her, the rest was still safe at home in her closet.

"I am not a materialistic woman your highness" said Wura and Liam laughed, he had remembered a certain someone saying otherwise.

"You truly are not" said Liam as he laughed and Wura wondered what had gotten into him for him to laugh in such a manner.

"Well Lady Diwura, the night is far spent" said Liam.

"I shall be going now" said Liam.

"Oh" said Wura as she seemed to have lost track of time.

"Do you require any assistance?" asked Liam.

"If you do, I can send the maids to come and assist you" said Liam.

"No… Thank you for the offer your highness, but I will be just fine" Wura as she smiled.

"Alright then" said Liam.

"Goodnight Lady Diwura" said Liam as he nodded his head.

"Goodnight your highness" said Wura as she nodded her head and Liam walked out of her room, she could hear his footsteps get more faint as he walked further away.

Wura sighed and she turned to look at her new room, it was just so big, too big, it was now that she truly felt the loneliness.

Sure the Castle was big, but her home could have been small, but it was always full of laughter and love, but here she just felt so lonely, she had not even been here for more than an hour, and yet she already missed her Father, her mother her Aunt and Uncle and everyone else back at home.

Wura looked around and her eyes fell on her bed, now that she thought about it, maybe she should not have rejected Liam's offer for the maids, because she did not know how she would get out of her dress by herself.

Oh well, she was going to have to find a way to do so.
