"Meena~ You better behave yourself while you're in Aciras~" The voice from the phone sang, a teasing lilt in the voice which grated on the girl's nerves. Meena's frown deepened, eyes narrowed as the man on the other side continued. "Appa expects a grand wedding, so you better get along with your hubby-to-be~"
"Lucky," the girl almost growled, the voice silenced, "don't push it. You're a prince, act like one."
"Aw, but siiiiiiii-"
"Goodbye, brother." Meena pulled the phone from her ear, pressing down on the red hang up button. After carefully slipping her phone back into her purse, the girl almost slid down her seat in relief. She was already in her limo, on the way to the Kingdom of Aciras, to meet with the prince and princesses of other Kingdoms, and as her brother put so lightly, her 'hubby-to-be'. Meena cringed, promising to never repeat her brother's words again. It seemed too... juvenile. Meena peered out of the window, sighing as the familiar rolling hills of Aarudhya passed by outside.
She was dressed in her Kingdom's traditional clothes; a long lehenga-dress in a peachy-orange colour. The lehengha was one of her favourite items of clothing that she owned, and what better time to wear it than on the day you're going to be meeting your soon-to-be-fiance for the first time in your life? Her soft hands decorated with henna and small, but beautiful rings placed on her long fingers. The girl was originally wearing heels, but since she was still in the car, she decided it was best to just remain barefooted until it was time to exit - 'might as well make the ride comfortable.. Her make-up was light, just enough to enhance her features. Some simple concealer, mascara and a bit of dark eye shadow to prove her eyes with some depth, along with a light layer of pink lipstick was enough for her.
As Meena played with the ring on her right middle finger, she couldn't help but think about her future - her future husband, a new Kingdom to live in, new people to interact with... The girl felt her heart pound in her chest, fear creeping through her nerves like an unscratchable itch. Meena wondered about her future husband in particular, the main cause of her nervousness. Was he the carefree type? Is he even someone Meena would be compatible with? What if she didn't like him - hell, what if he didn't like her?
A text interupted the girl's thoughts, Meena peering down at her phone in surprise.
To: Lakshya Banerjee
Are you there yet?
To: Lakshya Banerjee
If you ignore me, I'll keep texting you!
To: Lakshya Banerjee
Are you there yet?????????????
The girl sighed, her phone put on silent yet the constant vibration grating on her nerves.
This was going to be a long ride.
Just over two hours later, the princess finally reached the palace. Her limousine drove around the loop, slowing down until the car stopped, right in front of the palace courtyard. While waiting for the driver to open the door for her, the girl quickly slipped her heels back on. Meena did her best to look presentable, with what limited mirrors she had inside the car before the driver had finally opened the door.
Waiting just a beat, the princess exited the car - dramatically, some might say. Meena slowly stood out of the car, taking a moment to inhale deeply. 'Time to introduce myself... The princess thought to herself, the same nervousness from before coiling up in her stomach again as she began heading towards the stairs, a bodyguard following behind her.
Meena climbed the stairs carefully, her hands pulling the lengha ever so slightly above so she wouldn't trip over the ends of her dress. After reaching the top, the girl clasped her hands together, in a traditional greeting, before greeting the King and Queen first. With her head ever so slightly bowed, she began introducing herself to the royalty before her. "It is an honour to meet you, your Majesty and your Highness." The girl began, "My name is Meenakshi Banerjee, second daughter of King Rumesh Banerjee, the King of Aarudhya." Finally looking over at the children of the various kingdoms, she gave them a smile in greeting.
She approached them, similar to how she had approached the King and Queen of Aciras, and greeted them with her clasped hands again. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you all."
Called by her annoying older brother, Lakshya 'Lucky' Banerjee
@Lady Amalthea I really wanted Tas' expression to be a bitch face, just because they're dealing with Dom over there and this was the closest I could get to what I wanted
