Orion left the training ground and headed toward the the kitchen side door. She walked up the hill to the garden and slammed open the front door.
"Gods I'm so humiliated!" Yelling into the kitchen. One of the serving staff drops a tray making a loud clang on the floor. "He is so infuriating" Marcy walks up and says "I was expecting for some bragging not this, why are you mad? I heard you handed two of your brothers a beat down today?" She bragged "all the servants and guards are talking about it"
"Yeah Alistar is holed up in the library. Saying no one is to disturb him" one servant said.
"Yeah that's cool and all, don't get me wrong, the highlight of day" I grumbled "until he had to come and spoil it"
"Whose he?" Marcy asked raising an eyebrow.
"You know that's an excellent question. I don't even know his name!" I start to laugh hysterically "I'm to marry this man and I don't even know his name." Yelling again "I had that man on top of me between my legs, Marcy, my freaking legs and I don't know his name"
Orion throws her hands up and storms off through the kitchen doors heading to her room in the west wing.
"Alright everyone, let's be careful how we spread this gossip, we don't want our princess to look bad because of a misunderstanding" Marcy said sternly "am I understood?" The people in the room and had nodded. "If I catch a whiff of a rumor about our princess I will not hesitate to take a finger."
Marcy was a force to be reckoned with everyone who worked in the palace knew that. She was a master of wind and water magic. She could dehydrate an elven body by pulling out all the water in their bodies.
"Sussia would you please start a pot of coffee for my lady, and bring some angel cake to her room when it's done, thank you" and with that Marcy grabbed some herbs and a wooden tray from the stockroom and then proceeded to the west wing. Arriving at Orions door Marcy opened it and when she did a long hair pin was flung at the doorway. Marcy put up the wooden tray immediately blocking the pin.
"What do I do Marcy?" She asked her
"Well child that depends" Marcy responded
"Ugghhhhh" Orion said flopping backwards onto her bed
"Marcy" Orion said again dragging out the e sound.
"Yes child" Marcy responded again.
"I don't want to marry him" she screamed "I don't want to want him"
"Who?" Marcy pushed
"HIM" Orion yelled again.
"Oh you mean Theo, the man they told you to marry"
"So his name's Theo?" Orion asked
"Yes child the boys name is Theo" Marcy began "what happened with Theo?"
"I think I have a date with him for lunch" Orion whined.
"Well lunch is gonna be served soon, I can assume it will be just the two of you?"
That made Orion stiffen. "Shoot I didn't even think about that part." She said.
"Well Sussia will be here in a moment with some cake and coffee to lighten your mood. Lets pick you out something nice and fix your hair it a mess." Marcy walks towards the bathroom and starts the water. The palace had running water as many of the cities in Elysium did. Her clan prized themselves on their engineering accomplishments.
"I brought you some herbs for a bath they'll make you smell nice" Marcy said
"Why do I need to smell nice?" Orion asked
" because this man is to be yours, make a good impression" Marcy retorted. Orion walked into the bathroom taking off her pants and dragon scale aarmor and her purple tunic, hangin the vest on a rack and dropping the tunic and pants into a basket and then climbs into the tub.
They hear a knock "that must be Sussia" Marcy fetched their snacks and came back and sat in the bathroom, Marcy combing her hair and humming a soothing lullaby.
