A New Tale: Christina [Last Name Redacted]

"I wonder what they look like." Christina says to herself as she prepares for the feast with the help the many of her servants. Currently, she was letting a servant out make up on her while another brushes her hair. Two other ones paint her fingers and toenails. "Do any of you know?" The servants do not answer. They merely continue their work on Christina's body. The princess sighs in slight annoyance. "You can talk." She said. "All of you can." The servants all stop and looks to her with a raised eyebrow. Christina rolls her eyes and giggles. "Go on. Tell me." The servants look at each other and nod. "They are quite astounding, my dear." One of them spoke up. "But why do you wish to know?" Christina laughs as they resume on their duties. "Just to know." The servants were a bit skeptical but says nothing on the matter. Soon enough, Christina was finally ready to be taken to the feast. Since this was the first ever time of meeting another heir of a different kingdom, Christina could not wait to meet them. She had always loved new things. Anything that was new, she just had to try. Downstairs in the dining hall, Christina scans around the room. They must be here. She could tell because all eyes were set on a figure near the entrance of her family's castle. Without waiting for another second, Christina speed walks over to you and greets you with her outgoing personality. "Hi there! You must be the sworn enemy my father was talking about." She chuckles. "Kidding! I know who you are! It's so good to finally meet you in person. I've been dying for a change up in this place! It had been so so so boring doing daily routines over and over and..." She stops and quickly apologizes. "S-Sorry about that. I was yammering on and on, huh?" She laughs it off however. "Yeah. I get that a lot. She then holds out her hand to you. Here. You can sit with me if you want. You probably don't want to be sitting with a bunch of total strangers, right?" She then adds. "I mean, I'm a stranger but...more of a...getting to know you one. Name's Christina. The heir of this Kingdom." She motions her head back. "So, did you want to join me?"

The feast came to a close and people began to file out of the castle, thanking the King and Queen graciously before the place was finally empty. All that was left were servants, her family, and you. You were very quiet sitting alone in the corner of the dining room whenever the feast was in session. Christina wanted to say something, to comfort you, but could understand your situation. Being at the hands of your enemy probably would make anyone worry. So when it was over, she decides to ask her father what he will do with you. "Hmm. Send them to one of the many rooms our servants use." Her father said. "And if there is no room, then they'll just have to stay in the cellar." He gulps down a bit of wine and looks towards his daughter.* "Why do you ask, sweetheart?" "Well, can't they use...our guest rooms upstairs. We have plenty to go around there!" Christina pouts slightly. "Surely they deserve it. They'll be teaching our people magic. Shouldn't they...get a reward?" King Theodin ponders and sees that his daughter would not be backing down anytime soon. He laughs unexpectedly, making his wife raise an eyebrow right beside him. "You, my dear are too adorable." He waves his hand. "But alright. Fine. They will stay in the guest rooms. However, they will have guards stationed outside their room at all times." Christina practically jumps up and down. "Oh thank you father!" She hugs him and he hugs her back with a pat on her back. Her mother smiles warmly at the sight. "Do you think I could take them to their room?" Christina asked pulling away to look back at her father's face. "I don't see why not." Theodin replied. "Go on now. We'll discuss more tomorrow morning." Christina nods and hops to where you are. Still in the corner of the dining hall. She takes your hand without warning and begins to drag you along. "Let's get you to your room! I'm sure you're tired from the crowd and food." Upstairs, Christina finds a suitable room that was close to her own. She shows you around, noting the bell for servants to treat you, books lined up on the shelf if you ever get bored, spare clothes in the closet. She does not know if they will fit you. And a large twin-sized bed. "Oh! Right! Forgot about introductions." Christina lets you get comfortable on the edge of the bed before she speaks up. "I am Christina! The heir of my father and mother. King Theodin and Queen Aurora. It's nice to finally meet you!"

Weeks had passed and you were starting to get the hang of things around the castle. Routines. Curfew. All was going fairly well. And Christina was almost always near your side. It was weird at first to see both heirs from different kingdom, especially ones that went to war, walking and talking together. However, people did not question it much as time went on. Christina was currently leading you to the personal library her family had inside her home. She hops and skips from time to time and glances back to see if you are still following her. She is quite the character. "And here we are!" Christina holds a hand to a looming door and pushes it open. Inside, there were rows of tall shelves reaching the roof scattered around the room. Breathtaking, isn't it? She asks looking back at you. "Yeah. I don't know why but I always like to visit this place often." She then suddenly grabs your hand, gently, and pulls you deeper inside the magnificent library. This place had so many books on hand that it made your head spin. And it was just a personal library. "Here! She shoves a book into your arms. Then another and another. "You'll love these ones. Oh! And this one. This one as well." She kept picking out several books around the library while you did your best to carry them. After a moment, she turns and gasps as you are nearly ready ro drop everything. She giggles but quickly helps you throw some weight off by taking some books into her arms as well. "Sorry about that. Rambling on again." She sighs. "It's just...you're new here and...well...you're really the only person my age to talk to." She shrugs and sets the books down on a nearby table. You do the same. "I mean, the servants are nice to be around but...it's not the same. They don't have much in common with me since they're...well... you know, servants." She perks up. "But now you're here! It's just s total breath of fresh air. I even have a...a..." Christina blushes just a tad before giggling. "Well, it's nothing." She then looks to the stacks of books and hums. "So, what do you want read first? We got...fantasy, drama, ohhh romance." She teases slightly. "And plenty others. Up to you."

This is not where she wanted to be right now but here she was. Stuck inside a closet. With you. She loved it but Christina already knew thst she would be in a load of trouble if the two of you got caught like this. How in the world did she get here she wonders. One moment, she was sneaking out her room to get a snack, she's in a closet with her body pressed up against yours. She guessed that you had the munchies too. She could not blame you. After all of that magic training with her father's soldiers, it had to be tiring. You shift inside the closet and she could not help but lean in closer. "Sorry." She whispers. She lies to herself. She's not sorry. She just wants to be as close as possible to you. There was no way out unfortunately. Until the patrolling guards left for the night, you two were not going anywhere any time soon. She presses herself closer and she could hear your breath hitch just slightly. "It's funny really." She murmurs. "Being in here with you. I don't believe it myself but...here we are. The two of us alone." Christina lets her body mold with yours, not caring whatsoever. "Since we're here...did you want to...experience something new? Together?" She places a hand on your cheek. "I'll lead. Only if you want this." She wants it. Desperately. But she holds back for your answer. She may be bold and dominant, but she is always caring. "But I must say, you are quite the 'snack.' Christina said with a slight and hushed giggle.
