Whispered By The Stars

Chapter 7: Athena's pov



"Ugh."

I felt a piece of my hair in my mouth. I felt...tired despite the fact that I just woke up.

I always woke up early without stress but today felt different.

" Hey good morning the bell rang." Vera greeted and informed her friend ( During the meeting Madame told the girls that there is a schedule they have to follow and when the bell in their rooms are rang it was time for them to wake up or sleep or read e.t.c)

" Oh hey."

" I just wanted to tell you that I have to go and get ready in my room. The maids will soon arrive." Vera informed.

" Ok thank you for staying over by the way."

"See you later."

With Vera gone I felt lonely, it wasn't the feeling of silence,it was the feeling of loneliness. Even if the place would be quiet she just wanted someone with her. That's why she would often visit the library. It was silent but she wasn't lonely.

The maids came eventually to prep her and again she was tired of the way they made her feel, like a doll that needed to be prepped every day.

"Her face isn't smooth, she has lot's of blemishes."

" She isn't beautiful as the other girls make her to be it's just because of her eyes ."

She heard one of the girls say . Ok what?. She wasn't surprised to hear this as she had heard a comment like that before but whatever.

They were done with the prepping and it was time to go down to eat. Thus she quickly stepped out to go eat. She stepped into the dining hall and was in awe. During the tour yesterday, they were taken around all the places suitable for sight seeing around the palace but it still never stopped to take her break away.

She was already on her way to approach vera as soon as she saw her, but vera already had company. She wasn't surprised, vera was like a social butterfly. She always knew what to say and said it at the right time. The place available that didn't look to lonely was occupied by a redhead, blonde and a brunette. Redhead it was that girl with a pretty face but a shitty attitude. Ugh. Though did she have a choice? She needed to eat. An hungry man didn't have choices so she popped down on one of the empty seats and silently prayed for no one to notice her. But I guess that prayer didn't pass the ceiling.

" Oh miss I'm prettier than everyone sat with us today." The redhead commented in a mocking tone as I sat down. I didn't react. I will not stoop low to react.

" Just like I thought,she thinks she's too big to talk to us." The redhead said with a snark.

I still didn't say anything.

" I'm sure you guys received your letter what are thoughts on it?."

" Right! The letter,it was something today."

What letter you may think? well every week a letter is shared to the whole kingdom. It has everything that has happened in the week. Every gist, happening,event you name it!.It's the best and easiest way to know anything about the Kingdom. Though the woman is unknown and she credits herself with the name " Lady windsong " the letter is very popular and well known. She ( if she was even a woman) had a love-hate relationship with the people. People Loved her for the gossip she brought, people hated her for exposing their secrets. I used wonder how she knew everything about the palace and the lives of the elite. It could be an insider form the palace or a relative but I didn't care. She was one(1) of the people who kept or realm lively, there was always buzz and something to talk about because she kept serving back to back.

Flashback

Letter :

"Palace Intrigue: The Great Wife Hunt Begins!

The royal palace is abuzz with excitement and anticipation as preparations reach a fever pitch for the highly anticipated selection of wives for the eligible princes. The usually tranquil halls are now a flurry of activity, with advisors, ladies-in-waiting, and royal staff scurrying about, ensuring every detail is meticulously executed.

Rumors swirl about the lavish balls and grand feasts being planned, with whispers of exotic cuisine, rare wines, and extravagant decorations. The palace's renowned gardens are being meticulously manicured, and the sound of hammering and drilling echoes through the corridors as grand suites are renovated to accommodate the esteemed guests.

Speculation abounds about the mysterious criteria the royal family will use to select the future brides. Will it be beauty, intelligence, grace, or perhaps a hidden talent? The palace remains tight-lipped, fueling the intrigue and curiosity of the eager onlookers.

As the big day approaches, the tension builds, and the question on everyone's lips is: what secrets will the palace reveal, and who will ultimately win the coveted titles of royal wives?.

Love your husband's new concubine

Lady windsong "

Well with the tone of the letter I didn't need anyone to tell me that this will be an event that would reveal a lot of secrets, an unhinge of unexpected events and several plot twists.

The beginning of drama.
