Chapter 2

The next morning the princess got up early at around four O'clock to get to breakfast in time. They had to eat very early since the king is busy throughout the entire day.

The maids were at Lunas bed shaking her to wake her up, they got her out of bed and brought her to the bathroom to give her a bath before she gets dressed for the day, the bath was lined with pink rose petals and the water had oil to soothe and keep her skin healthy. The candles on top of the bath tub were rose scented in fact it was so strong that it filled the whole room. One of the maids picked up her hair and kept it out of the tub as she shampooed and conditioned her hair and then brushed it.

When she finished the princess was escorted to her dressing room were her maids put on a beautiful dark red Victorian styled dress with just a little bit of cleavage showing. The shoulders were poofy and the arms were tight along with the dress itself to show off her curves but dropped at the waist. She wore heels made with real gold, that brought out her royal yellow eyes and her curly white hair that fell to her thighs was straightened and combed.

The dinner was ready by the time the princess walked out and saw Brutus sitting their patiently for the king who wasn't up yet. It was important that everyone was at dinner before he was.

"You look beautiful princess Luna and please thank your father for taking me in since my brother was not here I am very grateful that he let me in on such such short notice"

"Thank you, you look nice too yourself" the princess responds blushing

"Ahem" the Queen said with a displeasing look on her face

"Sorry mother I was getting carried away, anyways I will make sure to tell my father how grateful you are" the princess said scared because she knows that her mother has to tell her husband. If he finds out she didn't her punishment would be much greater than his daughters.

"Ah what a magnificent looking meal, I see that everyone is here, very good." As the king greets his wife and kisses her she whispers to him what his daughter and Brutus were saying to one another

"Luna!" "A moment with you now" As the king yelled angrily at his daughter, Luna could nearly bring herself to stand because of how much her legs were shaking. As they got to the ball room area the king was definitely not happy.

"Flirting with your husbands brother!"

"No father I wasn't flirting I promise he was just giving me a compliment what's so wrong with that"

"Well according to your mother it wasn't just a compliment if you were blushing!"

"I'm so sorry fath" but before she could finish her sentence the king yelled at her

"Get back to the dinner table I will give you your punishment later"

"Yes sir"

The king probably yelled at her so loudly that everyone in the next room heard her. She went back to her seat all flustered with embarrassment as she ate her food tears began to fill her eyes she looked up to see Brutus staring at her. His face was filled with worry for he didn't know what her punishment was going to be and for everyone who was wondering. It was a slap to the face for flirting?!

"Since the wedding is in two weeks we need to start talking about what it will look like, the cake, the dress so on and so fourth" "did your brother give you a list of what he wants?"

"Yes your majesty he did but planning this will take all day so I think we should discuss this in private tomorrow if you don't mind".

"Of course not, you know what let's go right now to the ball room were the wedding will be held"
