Arayael trembled.
She trembled, and she whimpered. She hurt in places she had never hurt before, and the stones she pressed herself against were cold and wet. Her eyes moved around the small cell, darting in the darkness, struggling to take in her confines and failing. There were no windows this far down, there was no way to tell time or gauge its passing. She wasn't certain if her mother's screams had ended abruptly hours ago, or days.
The memory of her father's blood spilling on the throne room floor was vivid, and kept her awake when she might have found some respite in sleep, and her brother's final moments lingered like a sour taste. She was the last surviving member of her family, perhaps of the entire royal court, and she was afraid of what that meant.
Her fingers dragged through her silken black hair, futilely trying to remove tangles as she tried not to break into tears again. It was terrifying, being alone. Every time she heard footsteps she was sure they were coming for her, coming to publicly execute her. She was a woman, and adult, even by her kingdom's standards. Her betrothed, a knight of the court, was certainly dead, and she was untouched, but she was a woman and a threat. In her kingdom, she could still claim the throne.
Her fingers caught in a snarl and she yelped, pressing harder back into the corner of the small cell. The odor of rotting hay filled the tony room, and filth form previous prisoners. She knew her dress, as tattered and torn as it was, and as fine as it had once been, was likely covered in it. She also knew it likely did not matter. THe corsetted bodice, which has so perfectly shown off the heavy weight of her breasts encased in soft silks, and the long, flowing skirts would not be salvageable... but that wouldn't matter in the grave.
A small sob escaped her, and she rose, her soft silk slippers quiet on the floor as she paced to keep her body busy and her mind distracted.
Why... why were they taking so long to do the inevitable? She would would fight them, she told herself, even if she knew her end would come either way, she would fight whoever had taken her kingdom, just so that they would remember that she was not easily done away with.
