Diana Hector owns the throne

   The cool evening breeze blew the trees surrounding the palace and the birds sing melodiously to the wind as the tree sways left and right to the movement of the wind.

   Outside the palace were palace guards with Spears in their hands standing on their duty post and guarding the entrance to the palace.

Inside the palace were another soldiers guarding all the entrance leading to the palace.

   Beside each pillar stood a royal soldier with Spears in their hands. Royal maids are seen walking around and doing one thing or the other.

The hall way leading to the royal dining hall looks shallow with lamps placed on the edge of the wall with ancient creatures draw on the wall making the passage more amusing.

Diana walked through the hallway with her hand maids tailing behind her.

  The long green silky gown flow behind her matching her emerald green eyes and her dark hair falling loosely on her bare back.

She walked for some time before getting to the door leading to the dining hall. Two Royal soldiers stood outside the door with Spears in their hands and they bow their heads when they saw the princess Diana. One of them open the door and ushered the princess in.

   Inside the dining hall, the king Hector Odysseus sat on the head chair with his queen Helen Hector sitting by his right hand side.

King Hector Odysseus beckons on his guard and whisper something in his ear with his golden crown resting on his grey hair. His emerald green eyes reflect on the utensils on the table.

Diana walk towards the table and make her courtesy.

"Greetings father" Diana make her courtesy just as princess do.

"Greetings princess Diana" King Hector Odysseus reply kissing the back of her fingers.

" Greetings mother "Diana greet her mother and took her seat gently by the Queen's side.

The maids serve the food and the royal family began to eat peacefully like they always does.

"You look beautiful in that green dress of yours" king Hector complement his daughter Diana breaking the silence in the hall.

"Thank you Father" Diana reply with a smile revealing her dimples.

"The dress match your emerald green eyes" her mother queen Helen complemented with a smile.

" Of course, she gets her emerald green eyes from me her father" king Hector boast of his emerald eyes and they all laugh.

" Don't forget she also gets her dark hair from me her mother" queen Helen boast and they all went into another round of laughter.

"So how are we preparing for Diana sixteenth birthday?" queen Helen asked sipping her drink gently and Diana concentrate on her food.

"I think we should ask Diana how she wants it to be." King Hector reply looking at princess Diana who was busy picking on her food.

"Diana" King Hector called.

"Yes father" Diana reply raising her head up.

" How do you want your birthday to be. I suggest we make it a grand birthday party. After all you are a princess and the successor to the throne. So I will like you to meet some top Kings, princes, princess and our allies." King Hector said.

" That sounds great father but I will prefer a low normal birthday party" Diana reply wiping her mouth with a napkin.

" Diana, I know you want a normal birthday party but don't forget you are a princess and the successor to your father's throne just like he said earlier. So dear,have this in your mind that your are having a grand birthday party." Queen Helen emphasize as she run her hand through Diana hair.

"Alright mother" Diana reply with non interest as she push a bunch of meat in her mouth.

"You should start preparing now Diana. Your birthday is in 13 days time. Irene your personal maid will help you to prepare in advance. "  King Hector said dropping his utensils as the maid fill his cup with grape wine.

" Alright father" Diana reply dropping her utensils too.

She wipe her mouth with the napkin again and rise to her feet.

"I will be in my room" she courtesy and leave with her maids tailing behind her.

The soldiers open the door and she walked into the hall way. Took the spiral stairs and gets to the front of her room at the right side.

The soldiers at the door now theirs heads and open the door for her to go in. She gets into the room and sat on her bed which was neatly dressed with blue bedsheets by her maids.

Irene stood behind her with her hands folded in her back.

Diana went into deep thought for some minutes and she was forced to ask Irene why her parents wants her to have a grand birthday party.

"Irene" she called softly.

"Yes my princess" Irene reply bowing her head and she dismiss the other maids.

" Tell the maids to leave us alone for a while" Diana said as she walk to her window and the remaining four maids bows their head and exit the room.

"Do you have any idea why my parents wants me to have a grand birthday party and not a normal one?" Diana asked still looking at the dark sky outside the window.

" No your majesty. I don't have any idea" Irene reply still standing on the same spot.

" But my parents said you will help me to prepare in advance. So I guess you should know why they want me to have a grand birthday party and why they want me to meet our allies and other royalty from another provinces." Diana said walking towards Irene with her green gown flowing behind her.

Irene play with the Hem of her maiden gown and look down at her feet with her brown hairs packed into a ponytail.

"The king and the queen wants you to Meet his allies and other royalties because you're the Heir to the throne." Irene reply lifting her head up with her greyish eyes wavering.

Princess Diana has an aura which is so rare for a lady unlike other princesses and prince's.

"Alright we are going somewhere tomorrow morning" Diana  said sitting on her bed.

" Where are we going my princess ?" Irene ask still standing on the same spot.

"Do not question my order and no one must know we are going somewhere tomorrow. Is that understood?" Diana asked with authority in her voice.

" Yes your majesty" Irene reply and now her head.

"Prepare me for bed" Diana order and Irene set for work.
