NBA: Tuathan Ball Invitation

I5 (Headache)
Dearest Diary,
I have a splitting headache. Last night was the Tuathan Faerie Ball in Crystal Spires. I was so excited I had never been before. There were so many surprises I wonder if I can remember them all.
My gown had a long train and a full skirt it wasn’t as low as the one for the Midsummer Ball. It had a square neckline and gold embroidery in a flower pattern just around the neck on the bodice. It had the same flowers embroidered in the top layer of faerie silk on the skirt in gold.
There was dancing. I was glad that I told the seamstress to leave the sleeves off my gown. It was very hot in the ballroom. It was so fun.
Someone should have warned me about the punch. I think it had hard cider in it. I drank quite a few cups and I had some champagne too. I was surprised that Grandmother let me have that but because we were at the Ball I think she thought it was alright. I now know what a hangover feels like.
One surprise was that Victra came to the ball with Klaus. Aura said Victra was there for the first time. She wore a white gown that looked like one of my Court gowns. It was very plain. Klaus wore a dark grey suit. He looked very uncomfortable in it. He doesn’t wear suits very often.
Aura looked very beautiful. Aura wore a gown with a full skirt and many layers of faerie silk. The bodice had a square neckline and it had gold embroidery all over it. She had a gold tiara with light green stones and diamonds. It looked really pretty against her dark hair. Dragas wore a black suit with his dark green Prince sash. He looked very handsome. This was the first time they were out together since their marriage.
The biggest surprise of the night came when the guests were being announced. I looked up and saw Paddrick. I wondered what he was doing there then he was announced as Prince Paddrick of the Tylwyth Teg. I was stunned. I had no idea he was a Prince. He came over and bowed to Grandmother and then he smiled at me and asked me to dance.
We danced all night. It was hot and I was even hotter dancing so that is why I drank so much punch.
Later when we sat down to be served food, Grandmother invited him to sit with us. Aura and Victra along with Dragas and Klaus sat with us too. When Grandmother asked Paddrick why he was in Ogham-Duir he said he was traveling and looked at me and smiled again. That was when I had the champagne.
I couldn’t believe that the faerie that I had went on a picnic, a quest and a walk on the beach with was a Prince. He certainly doesn’t act like a Prince. Well I don’t act like a Princess most of the time either. I am beginning to think I’m being set up again. At least I like him a lot more than I did Prince Brandon.
Dionne just got here with that horrid porridge. I just can’t bear the smell of it this morning. I sent her back to the kitchen with it and told her to bring some willow bark tea. That should help my headache.

NBE 16: (With Paddrick on Mermaid Beach)
Dearest Diary,
I met Paddrick yesterday in Crystal Spires. We went for a walk on Mermaid Beach. We walked all the way up to where the water dragons live in the grotto and we sat on the beach. We just sat for a while then he took out his sketchpad and drew a picture of me. I think he was just stalling really but I loved it when it was done. He gave it to me.
He wanted to explain why he didn’t tell me that he was a Prince. He said that he wanted me to like him for him and not because he was a Prince. I understand that when we first met he didn’t know that I was a Princess. He seemed really surprised when he found out too.
I didn’t hide the fact that I was a Princess or anything. I was with Aura and we never use titles because we are family.
We agreed that we both messed up with that.
I asked him if he had come to Ogham-Duir to find a wife. He said that his mother, Queen March, was pressuring him into finding a wife but she didn’t want to make an arranged marriage for him.
I asked why there wasn’t any response from the Tylwyth Teg Court when Grandmother sent a request for eligible males. He explained that it was after we had met and the request said ‘Gaylen’ not ‘Endora’. He said because the request said a different name he didn’t think it was me but he was interested in me.
I explained to him that ‘Gaylen’ is my first name but everyone calls me by my middle name.
There was certainly a lot of misunderstand on both sides.
Paddrick said that when he told his mother that I was the Princess on the request, she said she would send a response to Grandmother. It should be here in a few days. He asked me if that was ok. He had heard what happened at Midsummer Court and he didn’t want me to feel pressured into a betrothal.
I told him that I didn’t. That was true. Royal betrothals take up to a year to end in marriage. We walked back to Crystal Spires and I went through the passage. I was glad we talked it all out.
Dionne is here with mint tea and oatmeal. I have to get dressed. It’s raining today so no training for me.

G4 (Tree house)
Dearest Diary,
Last night at supper Paddrick told us about the Palace of the Tylwyth Teg Court. He said it was a huge tree house. Each section of the palace was built in either a tree branch or around a tree trunk. The Throne Room was built around the main trunk at the very highest level. It was built that way so that the Queen can have a bird’s eye view of their Realm.
I can’t wait to see this tree house Palace. It sounds so lovely. I’m sure it is a mess in the fall with the leaves and such. But to live in something alive sounds so wonderful. I can’t wait to visit and see it.
Now I understand what the birds are about. Paddrick says that the birds nest in the trees of the Palace and in the spring and summer they make an awful racket in the morning.
I asked if they live in the chambers or in the branches outside. Paddrick says that there are rooms that the birds are allowed in but not the living chambers. They are allowed in the Great Hall and the Throne Room. They have places to nest in the rafters.
The living chambers were at all different levels. Paddrick’s room was on one of the lower branches and his mother was on one of the highest. He said that because he was one of the younger children that they had run out of places to put him. I’m sure he was joking.
Paddrick has two older sisters and an older brother. He also has a younger sister that is still a little baby. He called her the surprise. I have no idea what that meant.
He said that his mother wants me to come after Yule to meet everyone. I told him that I would like that. Grandmother said that it would be a good idea.
I’m not even worried that his mother won’t like me. Well maybe just a little bit. I am a very different princess.
Paddrick didn’t mention his father and Grandmother was too polite to ask. I think I will ask him but only just before we leave for Wales. I don’t want to be rude or make him feel bad.
I wonder what one wears to meet a future mother in law. I never met Prince Brandon’s mother. We weren’t even betrothed all the way yet. Paddrick and I aren’t either but I’m sure it will happen.
I think that while we are young Paddrick and I can travel together for a while. Well I hope we can but Grandmother may have a different opinion.
Grandmother is pleased with the match but I need to be pleased too. I will be spending my life with him after we are married.
Everything is happening so quickly that I haven’t had a chance to think clearly. I am going out on a ride by myself this afternoon to think about the betrothal and some other things.
Dionne is here with breakfast and I have things to do. I’m going to try to get it all done so that I have plenty of time for my ride.

O4 (Treasure)
Dearest Diary,
I have been tasked with going over the inventory for the treasure. That means I will spend the day in the very dusty vaults checking each item to the entry in the inventory book.
It will take me at least a few days to get everything checked. I really wish that I could just have someone else do it but Grandmother wants me to do it. She says that I should know what is in the vaults even if we never use it. There are all sorts of things down there from tapestries to gold platters.
I hope there are no spiders down there. It would be the perfect place for them. They would be undisturbed to make webs and eat flies and grow fat. I need to stop with the spider thinking.
I saw the book that I will be checking against. It is at least three inches thick! I had no idea that there was that much stuff down there. I hear there is even a full suite of armor in gold with a jeweled breastplate. That is so impractical.
I can’t wait to see how many things we have more than one of. I heard there were at least a dozen gold platters and several gold goblets. The last time they were all used was my mother’s wedding to my father. I suppose they will be used for my wedding as well when ever that will be.
When I am Queen, I think I may have a cleaning out and get rid of some of that stuff it makes no sense to keep it if it will just gather dust. There are more important things to do than collect dusty old treasures.
I would want to use the gold for the good of the people and not to collect dust and never be seen or used. It some of those platters were melted down it could feed a whole village. Maybe even the entire realm. It’s not that we have a great deal of hungry people but there are some that could use some help and I would like to see that they get it. Someday I will see this realm the way I hope it to be.
I think that what is getting to me is that I will have to miss training. There will not be very many good days for training left once the weather turns. I shouldn’t be so silly.
Dionne says she will make sure that Astra and Sugar Plum are well exercised while I am down in the vaults. I don’t expect that will be a problem but she will have to get a groom to ride Sugar Plum. For some reason my horse doesn’t like her but my unicorn does. It is all very strange. I think it’s her dragonfly wings.
Speaking of Dionne she is coming with breakfast. So I must start my day in the vaults. I hope they don’t have to lock me in there. How on earth will I go to the outhouse if I’m locked in a vault?

N1 (Dirty / Messy)
Dearest Diary,
After two days of crawling around the vaults of the Castle, all I can think of is a hot bath. Dionne has been good about having one ready when I come to my chambers each night.
There was at least an inch or two of dust and dirt on everything. Some of the trunks even had dust inside them. I have never seen such a filthy place in my life and I have quested in some places that were nasty dirty. This was nasty dirty with extra yucky. I think we will have to move the tapestries and such to one of the upper storage rooms. It was a bit damp down there too. That made it even more gross.
I swear I think we should really think about cleaning that mess up. It’s not so much that there is so much down there collecting dust that could be used to help out people but it’s the dirt and dust that’s down there too. I am going to talk to Grandmother about having some of the servants clean down there on a regular basis. Just the most trusted servants will be allowed down there.
I came up the last two nights covered in dirt and I had cobwebs in my hair. Oh yes! There are spiders down there. I thought there might be so I took my dagger with me. I was sure there weren’t fire spitting ones or purple glow in the dark ones but there were a few that were almost as big as my hand. I had to kill four of them. It was gross.
I did find a few things that were not in the inventory book. I took the list to Grandmother last night and she was surprised to see a few of the objects on the list. She sent me back down for a silver music box. I have a feeling it belonged to my great grandmother. It was just the way she looked at it that made me think that. It was in bad need of a polish as were many other things.
I also asked her about a silver crown that wasn’t on the list. It is very plain so I asked if I could use it when we sat Court. It’s not that I don’t like my gold tiara I just think it’s a little elaborate for me to wear for just court. She had me to bring it up and I found out that it was hers when she was younger before she became Queen. She said that she would be honored for me to wear it. It will need to be polished up. It was covered with dirt and tarnish but I can see the beauty in it.
Dionne just came in with the crown and my breakfast. Breakfast is starrberry jam and clotted cream on that dark bread I love. There is mint tea too. The crown looks lovely. I can’t wait to wear it at court today. Its funny this is the first time I am actually looking forward to sitting at Court. It must have been the spiders.

G5 (Labor)
Dearest Diary,
Yes there I was working with my hands like a maid while we cleaned the vaults. Grandmother said that if I wanted the vaults cleaned that I should do it myself. It’s not that I’m against manual labor but I am a princess after all.
I persuaded Dionne to help me. She was not amused when we got down there. She was muttering something about there better not be any something I couldn’t tell what she said really. She was not happy at all.
I think that Grandmother was really just making a point that I should take care of things myself sometimes. It wasn’t that bad I have done manual labor before. When I go to Aura’s I help her clean and cook. She doesn’t have a servant at her cottage.
I suppose she will be at the Crystal Fortress more now that she is married. I can’t see Dragas wanting to stay in that little cottage with no servants. He may try to act like he isn’t the typical Prince but he is.
We had most of the mess cleaned up by suppertime last night. We will finish up today. There is one more section that needs to be cleaned up.
We mopped and swept and even scrubbed the floor and the walls and wiped the dust off of everything. We even put some things in the new trunks I had brought down. There are a few things that will need to be left out just in case but we managed to pack a great deal of it away.
I had the tapestries taken out and cleaned. I had them moved to the storage room behind the Throne Room. It’s drier in there and once they were cleaned the tapestries can be put out in the castle. There is one I want to put in my room. It has warriors on it in battle.
I had cobwebs in my hair again. I really hate that. But there want any spiders this time. I either killed them all or they were hiding from me. I’d hide too from a woman with a dagger that killed your relatives. I hate spiders. I really hate them.
I hope Dionne is not too tired to draw a bath for me tonight. She was tired last night so I just washed up. I need to wash the dust out of my hair tonight.
After this is done Grandmother wants me to start learning to read the reports that come in from the Realm and get an understanding of everything that is going on. I don’t understand why there is such urgency in all these things she wants me to learn. Mother says Grandmother wasn’t much older than me when she became queen. That may be the reason.
Dionne is here and she is ready to get on with it. She still looks tired. I may not get a bath tonight after all. Well I shall just have to make do. If she is too tired I will not ask for it. Dark bread and clotted cream for breakfast. Sounds yummy.
