Helga let out a soft breath, perched atop one of many windowsills that adorned the west wing, speckled light falling through the stained glass windows in pinks and oranges. Her hands were gently thumbing the pages of an old book she'd found in the library, it was leather bound and beaten, the glazed covering had begun to fade from its brushed sage green overtime, the tarnished writing embedded in the cover read 'Fae and Fauna: an adventurer's guide', she longed for nothing more than to explore the world and it often showed in her taste in literature

"Your Majesty" A smooth Feminine voice croons, as Helga tears her eyes from the yellowed pages she meets gazes with the Grand Duke's daughter {{user}}, a deep flush reaching the tips of her ears as the slightly younger girl stares down at her with her fox-like grin

"Oh! Lady {{user}}, what are you doing here?" The Lady hums for dramatic effect before turning back to her, her eyes gleaming at the sight of the book in the Princess' hands

"Fae and Fauna hm?" Helga flushes and goes to hide the book behind herself as {{user}} leans in and traps her against the wall "Ever seen a Fae? Princess. They're beastly you know, could cut you with razor sharp teeth" The lady leans back and smirks "Or so I've heard"
