Dearest Diary (June)
June
N5 (Fair / Carnival / Festival)
Dearest Diary,
I’m going to the Faerie Festival in Crystal Spires today. I will be the official representative of the Royal Court. That means I will have to dress and act like a grown up princess. That will put a damper on my fun. I still hope to have some fun.
I haven’t been to the Faerie Festival since I was a child. Grandmother took me when I was about five or six years of age. Mother was ill then. She had some kind of fever. Grandmother thought a trip to the Faerie Festival would distract me. We actually played some of the games and ate a few things we shouldn’t have. I enjoyed myself and I think she did as well.
Grandmother was the official representative that year. Since then my mother goes. Mother has never taken me. She says that it’s a time for duty not for play. That’s sad. It should be fun too. My mother is far too serious for a faerie.
I have the sneaking suspicion she sees Lord Draconis while she is there. That would make sense why she wouldn’t want me along. He is the father of Aura and Victra. Even though I’m sure that she loved my father she still loves him too.
The part that I’m looking forward to is the food. I love food and there will be all sorts of food at the Faerie Festival. Everything is vegetarian of course but that doesn’t mean it’s tasteless.
My favorite thing is sweets, really. There will be candied fruit and nut bars, faerie cakes and shakes. Faerie cakes are my favorite. They have cream inside and they are dusted in sugar. Lots of sugar! You need a shake to go with it. I like starrberry shakes. Starrberry is my favorite but I like moon melon too. Moon melon is not as sweet but it’s good too.
There are games to play. I hope there is a target game. I would like that. It would be fun to get a prize for my shooting skills. I remember playing a game with a ring and cups when I went with Grandmother. I won a glass star. I still have it on my dressing table.
There will be music at the theatre and a puppet show for the kids. I will be expected to be there for the concert. I will sit with Aura and Victra; they will be the official representatives for Una and Zestra,
Dionne is coming too. She will be on her own most of the time. I will not need her to be an attendant to me. I want her to enjoy herself. She works so hard for me. I think she deserves to have some fun. She is excited about the puppet show.
We will stay with Aura overnight and comeback in the morning. We will stay at Aura cottage in Rosemont not the Draconis Estate in Brimstone. That house is creepy.
I think it will be good to spend some time with my sisters. I didn’t ask if Victra is staying. I hope she is.
I need to go get dressed. Dionne just brought in my court dress. She just finished pressing it.

N2 (Upset Stomach)
Dearest Diary,
I don’t think I can go on. I am so sick. I have such an upset stomach. I have only myself to blame for it though. I made a complete pig of myself. I must have eaten everything in sight at the Faerie Festival yesterday. Some things I think I ate twice or was it three times?
I had three faerie cakes almost as soon as I arrived. At least two moon melon shakes and not to mention the starrberry ice cream.
All the vendors wanted me to sample their food. I guess because I was the Royal representative for the Queen. It didn’t help that most of what they had was sweets.
Dionne ate nearly as much as I did I think but she didn’t seem ill at all. I think she is used to sweets more than I am. We don’t eat much of them at the Queen’s table.
Grandmother sent me upstairs as soon as I got home and sent the healer to come look at me. The healer gave me a potion to make me feel better but it didn’t. I’m just as sick now as I was when I came home.
Grandmother wasn’t happy that I had eaten myself sick. She said next time I should take a bite or two of what is offered me then throw out the rest. She said that I should never eat the entire thing because there are so many and everyone will expect to have their food tasted. Its part of being a Royal representative she said.
So here lying on the bed dying and wishing that she had explained that to me before I left. I am so dramatic, aren’t I?
Dionne said I should throw up and then I will feel better. I think that is just gross. I bet that is why she’s not sick. I’m a princess and princesses don’t throw up.
I’m not going to training today because I’m sure that riding will make me throw up. I feel too ill to even do any mock battle drills. This is ridiculous. I am a warrior I should be able to do drills with sword wounds. I shouldn’t let a belly ache stop me. I’m going to training and that is final. I’ll get ready right now.
I just got up and made it five steps from the bed and then I heaved into the chamber pot. That was completely gross. I can’t believe I actually threw up. It was a good thing there wasn’t anything in that chamber pot. That really would have been extra gross. You know I think I’m actually starting to feel better. Geez I should have done that last night.
I wonder what is for breakfast. Now I’m a little hungry. Maybe there will be flattened dough with starrberry jam. I think I could eat that its not that much.
Here comes Dionne with breakfast. Its oatmeal and starrberry jam. That will do just fine.
Breakfast then I’m going to training.

B5 (Packing)
Dearest Diary,
I’m on my way to the Midsummer Court of King Oberon and Queen Tatiana tomorrow for the Midsummer Faerie Ball. So today is packing day. I hope it won’t take all day. I would like to get in some training.
I had a ball gown made that I’m really not sure I like. It will be packed separately because it would be too hard to steam the wrinkles out of it in time for the Ball. I have new shoes as well. Oh I hope I remember to pack that new corset. It was made to go under my ball gown. The front is lower which isn’t something I’m really pleased about either.
Usually I leave the packing to Dionne but I want to make sure everything is packed and ready by the time my mother and I have to leave tomorrow. We are only staying a few days.
I have been warned not to go off on my own. It seems the Midsummer court is full of loose morals and bad judgment. Maybe I should pack my sword as well as my dagger. You can never be too ready to fight if need be. On second thought it would seem like a threat if I had my sword belted to my court dress. The dagger is still coming.
I will have to wear my crown. I really don’t like wearing it. It makes people treat me differently. I will have to pack both of my crowns; one for court and one for the formal ball. Grandmother had a new formal crown for me made last year. It has diamonds and something called pearls on it. It is very pretty but it’s also very heavy.
Mother asked me not to pack any tunics or breeches she wants me to stay in dresses the entire time we are there. That also means I have to stay in a corset and stockings. I have to remember to tell Dionne to pack extra stockings I always seem to have a hole an hour or two after I put them one. Silly things, I don’t know why they are not made from faerie cloth. If anything needs to be stronger than armor, stockings are it.
I have no idea of what jewelry I will bring. Mother will let me borrow her necklace from Father but as far as anything else I have no idea of what to bring. I think I will pack the ring that Aura gave me for my birthday. It has a pretty pink stone. She called it rose quartz.
Dionne said she is already packed. It is easy for her she only has two dresses and the gown I gave her. it is green with dragonflies along the bottom. She will look pretty. I hope mother isn’t upset that she will not be wearing white. Dionne likes green and it looks pretty on her she has been wearing a green travel cloak for as long as we have been questing.
I hear the footmen carrying up the trunks. They just banged the side of the spiral staircase. Grandmother is going to put them in the stocks for sure.

NBE 11: (Talk with Grandmother)
Dearest Diary,
I was summoned to Grandmother’s study yesterday. It seems that I have no marriage prospects at all now. The Northern Court is out and the Midsummer Court has no men. Grandmother is not happy with me.
Grandmother is upset because she wanted me to be married young. I never knew my grandfather and no one seems to remember him. I have always thought that was strange. I wonder where he was from. Most likely he was from the northern court. If his manners were like Prince Brandon’s it’s no wonder that no one speaks of him.
I suppose I shall be a Spinster Queen. I shall be passing my crown to a cousin when I die. I am far too dramatic for my own good.
There are two other courts that haven’t responded to my grandmother’s inquiry. The Peri Court and the Tylwyth Teg haven’t even acknowledged the inquiry Grandmother sent.
I really don’t want to marry a Peri they are a bit strange. The ones I met are very quiet almost too quiet. I met them on my visit to Lemuria two years ago.
I have only met one Tylwyth Teg and that was Paddrick. I shall have to remember to ask him about the Royal Court of the Tylwyth Teg.
Dionne is here and there is dark bread with clotted cream and starrberry jam. She brought cold milk too. Well its breakfast then training.
