When Mia returned to her room, her maids flocked around her. They had noticed how dejected Mia looked the moment she came in. "Your Highness, is everything alright? Shall we prepare anything?" The concerned maids asked.
"Uh, no. I just need some time alone, please," Mia replied, visibly exhausted as she waved the maids away.
Mia fell face first onto her bed and closed her eyes, enjoying its softness. Mia pulled Sharkie over and rested her head on its fluffy back. She remained in that position for a time, and sometimes, she would nudge the shark gently.
A while later, Mia turned over and kicked her heels off, leaving only her white silk socks on. She swung her legs, which at the edge of the bed, giving an ample view of that which she short skirt, at this moment, did not cover. Fortunately, no one was around to do anything about it.
[1] Don’t know about how they might miss you (they do, of course, you’re the center), but I know that the Warrior’s probably bawling over Baiyi right now. Like legit whenever Baiyi’s involved, that ice princess is reduced to a pile of water, man. Funnier still, she cries while still clinging to her icy persona. (¬_¬ )

[2] Oh yea, she *definitely* doesn’t act like one. Or even *live* like one, too, I’ll argue! (¬‿¬) Where’s the full-day schooling for six days a week? Where are the tutors who teach her subjects important to the duty as an empress or queen or wife or political pawn? Shouldn't there be lessons on etiquette and languages and “how to conduct yourself in public”, at the very least? Where's the pain of living in an environment rife with intrigue and schemes, to suffer or play the game of politics? Mia’s only been a princess for like, half a month, so I guess this is why she’s exempted from the real pains of it all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I’ll imagine a princess could become a pawn, fall into decadence, lose their touch with reality, suffer from political schemes, become jaded, or harden and wise up into a competent — or even cruel — person of power. Meanwhile, Mia’s princess life is all Disney stuff, man. Oh, speaking of which, I got a recommendation lately and it’s one of the stuff I love: political drama! When I finally get the time, Imma binge-watch Nextflix’s the Crown! Anyone watched it yet?!
