Chapter Nine.... Rhosyn POV

Rhosyn quietly followed her maid out of the throne room.

"What is your name?" Rhosyn asked the maid. The maid looked back and smiled. It surprised Rhosyn that she looked so young. She should be out playing with other children.

"My name is Mini, Milady." She said. Rhosyn smiled as she followed Mini down the vaulted hallway. With the banner of the Elderblood hanging down and torches lighting the way. Mini stopped in front of a door.

"This will be your room milady. Let's draw you a bath."

"Thank-you." Rhosyn said as she entered the sitting chamber. As she looked around, she saw a door way to her left, and two door ways on her right. There were flowers and tables with seats placed around the room.

"The refreshing room is the first door on the right Milady. Your bath has been drawn." Rhosyn walked quietly to the first door and stepped in. The room was dark with lit candles to give it a glow. There was a faint smell of rose as she breathed in. Mini came up behind her and attempted to untie the strings of her clothes. Rhosyn quickly stepped away and looked at her.

"You may leave, I can undress myself." Rhosyn snapped. Slight panic began to build up in her chest.

"Milady, please turn around so I may help you undress. It is my job." Mini stood firm. It took Rhosyn aback slightly. She wasn't going to jeopardize someone's job, so she slowly turned around.

"What you see or hear in this quarters remains here, do you understand?" Mini wasn't to sure why she being this way, so she agreed. Rhosyn let a sigh of relief out as the shirt and bodice fell to the floor. She heard Mini's soft gasp as she caught sight of her back.

She slightly tensed up as Mini whispered, "Milady, I didn't mean to offend. Apologies." Rhosyn turned around and patted her arm.

"Just keep it to yourself. No one else needs to know about this. Understood?" Mini quietly nodded and brought Rhosyn over to the bath and helped her in.

"Is it painful, Milady?" Mini asked as she scrubbed Rhosyn's hair.

"Yes." No one had asked her that since the injury, she decided to tell the truth to Mini.

"I drink a special herb when it becomes to much. Can you please make sure there is a kettle over the hearth?" she inquired.

"Of course. Lean forward." Mini sponged her back gentle. She poured fresh hot water over her head.

"All finished."

"Thank-you." Rhosyn stood up, surprised her back didn't act up like it usually did when she bathed. Mini quickly wrapped a towel around and moved her into the bed chamber to dry off. Rhosyn noticed different shades of fabric laying on the bed.

"What is this?" she asked.

"His Majesty is having guests over for supper to announce some big news. He requested formal wear." Mini replied.

"I'll wear the amethyst one." Rhosyn said.

"Yes Milady. Let's dry your hair and style it." Mini grabbed a warm towel.

"No need Mini." Rhosyn said. "Sychu." She whispered and her hair slowly dried from the roots down. Mini smiled and grabbed the rollers from the boiling water over the stove. She quickly rolled Rhosyn's hair into the roller.

"While they sit, let us put the dress on." Mini said as grabbed the bodice. She tightens the laces fast. Rhosyn's back was straight with her stomach pushed in and her breasts were pushed up so far, she thought they would fall out.

"Mini, is this necessary?" She asked.

"Of course! With this dress, you need the bodice for the full effect." Mini insisted. She managed to get the dress on Rhosyn and she smiled in approval.

"It looks exceptional on you Milady." Rhosyn wore a rich amethyst colored dress that had clean lines that showed her accentuated waist with a flaring sleeveless bodice that dipped low to display her assets. Soft delicate lacy covered the dress giving it a bit of contrast as it flowed to the floor. It suited her very well.

"Let's remove the rollers." Mini adjusted the curls that were revealed by the rollers to lay over her shoulders, framing her face. She looked gorgeous.

"Let's get a move on. We must not let you be late!" She ushered Rhosyn out the door and down to a massive metal door that had vines withering across it.

"Ew." Rhosyn grimaced. Mini indicated for her to enter. Rhosyn grabbed hold of the handle and pulled. As she walked in, she saw only her uncle and Graver sitting at the table. Graver got up and pulled the chair to her uncles left out for her to sit down.

"Thank-you Graver." She touched his hand as she sat. She looked over at her uncle. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you really our uncle?" Roco laughed. He never thought she would be so straight forward from seeing her so shy.

"Yes. I am your uncle. Your father was my twin brother." He answered. "Graver told me that you do a little bit of spell casting?" He decided to be straight and ask her a question. She quickly looked at Graver and he shrugged back. He was staying out of this. She sighed and turned back to face her uncle.

"Yes, I dabble with it sometimes." She responded.

"Have you killed using this dabbling?" He inquired. She nodded her head. She has indeed killed using her magic, but she has also healed with it. He laid a hand on hers, "It is nature for us to survive. We must do what we have too, to achieve that." He assured her. She smiled as she looked towards the door as the sound of them opening drew her attention. Her sister Aria had arrive.
