The time seemed to slow down, as it slowly clawed at her skin, taunting her, and bringing the frustration into body, a pain she would rather trade with sickness if she ever had the choice.
Finding enough energy to push the covers back, she kicked her legs over the edge of the bed and stood, dizziness rising for a split second due to the quick movements, blurring her sight, and making her loose the little balance she had.
Her fingers felt numb for a second, and she swore her legs where ready to shatter beneath her, before she started walking, feeling all the better.

As the large wardrobe, as she decided to call it, was moved into the room, the princess couldn't help but take a small interest.
Standing from the chair she rested in, she moved across the room, being presented to a rather beautiful dress, not the type she would normally wear, but it was one to nodd upon.
"When dressed, just come stand in the lobby...I'm sure Kaiyle won't be long." So he had kept his promise, and that made her smile. Maybe she did have power over this prince...

She had taken no more than a few minutes to change and find a pair of dark brown flats that fit her.
Looking at herself in the mirror that hung on one of the walls, she smiled slightly, and headed out.
