Lady Olivia pulled up her skirts and hurried through the hallways of the palace. The first rays of morning were coming in through the high windows and her Highness Princess Sarah of the house Rogers would be waking soon and Olivia, her maid, had to be there to help her wash and dress. Olivia reached the princess' door and opened it slowly. She peeked in and saw that Princess Sarah was already awake and out of bed. Olivia entered the room and closed the door behind her.

"Apologies, my lady," she said with curtsy.

	"No need for apologies. I was up with the sun, and practicing my swordsmanship." Which she really shouldn't be doing, especially with enough plans for the day that there was bathing and all involved, but the Princess kept at her weapons training anyway. Especially those days she couldn't sneak out and go for early morning runs in the woods. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Your father would disapprove of you handling a sword," Olivia said as she went to the small room off of the princess' room. Olivia started looking for a dress for the princess to wear today. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am sure swordmanship is not what your Lord Father had in mind," she said. "The green dress today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What else is there to be prepared for? Needlework?" She sighs. "If I must wear a dress, then yes, the green one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not proper for women to be fighting with weapons," Liv said as she pulled the green dress out of the closet. "You'll never attract a husband." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Women can be as skilled with a blade as any man, and have as much interest in the defense of the kingdom. And I could care less about attracting any of the boys of the court." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know," Liv agreed with her. "It is what expected." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's because no one pays attention to servants," Liv said as she helped the princess into the dress. "There's talk of war in the east." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Precisely. And because you take full advantage of that fact to remain unseen. And I think we should take a trip to the east, to look into this for ourselves." (Reply to this)(Parent)
