A bright light coming through the window woke me from the tranquility of my dreams; I pulled the sheets up to my head, trying to ignore the disturbing light and go back to sleep. — Princess, it's time to get up. Your parents have something special planned for you today, — my mother's assistant said, coming through the door of my room. "What time is it?" I sighed. — It's almost noon — he replied, was it really that late? I feel like I haven't slept at all. "Couldn't I sleep for a few more minutes?" I asked from under the covers, still unwilling to move.
