Celeste had left the kitchen, slobbering bulldog in tow, to do as her mother bid. She put on a light-colored and dainty vintage style tea dress decorated in a lovely floral pattern. She chose matching heels that boosted her already impressive height, and brushed her curls back into a high, swinging ponytail. This was nothing like how she normally dressed. It was just the show she put on when she had to do something particularly princess-y, and in some ways, a deception. Something about the dress and the heels made her look coy and well-behaved. With the addition of a bright red lipstick she was almost the spitting image of her mother.
She performed the task rather quickly, because she wanted to meet this new guard before her parents did. The sound of her heels were sharp on the elegant stone tiles of the hall as she paced briskly towards her mother’s office; Princess’ claws scraped as she waddled to keep up with her owner. Celeste wasn’t positive that is where they would be meeting, but it was a pretty damn good guess, since it was where her mother conducted all of her official business.
The princess paused, just before turning the corner to smooth out her hair and her dress and make an appearance at a calmer cadence. The guards at the door to the office greeted her with nods and smiles. She was familiar with Rian and Sasha, manning their usual posts. “Is the new guard in there,” she asked, keeping her voice low. A mischievous grin spread over her features. Rian nodded while Sasha rolled her eyes. They opened the door for her, and announced her arrival to Agent Barlena. Celeste dipped a polite curtsy as the door was closed once more.
“I give that guy a week,” Rian muttered to Sasha.
Celeste smiled, bright and polite, to the man before her, and decided, in that moment, there was something about him she did not like. Perhaps, she was quick to judge, but she was her father’s daughter after all. “Agent Barlena, wonderful to meet you. I hope your trip to the Isles was a pleasant one?”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
