An aura of calmness enveloped the young woman. Today, her appearance was better than usual. She was outside of the Fourth Kingdom. The ladies had wanted her to walk around looking like some mere peasant who hadn't brushed a single strand of hair in all of her life. Her hair flowed down behind her and blew in the small breeze. Her dress was a lilac color that brought out that bright blue of her eyes. A cream-colored cloak was draped over her shoulders. Ophelia had traveled along with the royals and nobles of the Fourth Kingdom to the seventh. They were there for some reason that she hadn't bothered listening to. Oh, there were times when she knew what they spoke of but they just never noticed. They considered her completely mad but there were the moments where she lapsed into a complete understanding of the situation. She looked back near the castle where the ladies stood gossiping by. They were supposed to be watching her. She gave a tilt of her head and stared at them. Did they ever take their job seriously? She found that she thought of small, trivial questions these days. This was one of better days where she actually thought straight. Ophelia wandered to a little lake she saw. It was a truly beautiful one. The waters floated delicately along the bank. While the nobles ignored Ophelia for the past few days, she had wandered to the lake and watched the swans in it. She played with a small flower that she had picked by the lake and continued to watch the swans. They seemed so at peace unlike the war that was threatening to begin. Oh, yes, she knew about the dangers of the oncoming war. The nobles spoke carelessly in front of her, thinking that she was too insane to understand. They doubted that she would ever become sane again. There were times that she was sane and she heard the whispered words of the nobles. What was to become of her brother and their kingdom? So many things went unanswered. Ophelia was so lost in her thoughts that she did not notice the soft steps of a person coming her way. [/style]

It was a nice warm day in the seventh kingdom. So nice that she managed to get Sig out of the study for a while. That task wasn't to easy but she was glad that she was able to get him out. Odette looked behind her as she pulled on Sig's hand. He looked uneasy about not being inside and doing something. However at the same time he enjoyed this, spending time with her. She would smile at him and keep pulling him along. They walked all the gardens that were inside the wall that circled the castle. Every now and then Sig wouldn't be able to help himself and take hold of Odette. This time with him was truly nice, something that she's wanted for the last handful off weeks.

They were outside still when they reacted swan lake. Once there Odette stood under one of the trees and watched as Sig come up to her. She would be wearing one of her long white gowns and Sig wore a lose white shirt with trousers. Odette would blush when he came closer to her and pushed a hand into her blonde hair. He would look into her eyes and smile. "I love you."

"I love you to," She would say back to him and then would see something out of the corner of her eye. There was a young girl around the rim of the lake looking at flowers. Odette didn't have any problems with people going around the lake. Sig would kiss her cheek which made her giggle. The sound would make Sig shiver and could be heard to anyone that was on the lake shore.
