Liliana stood quite bombastically, making it a big deal that she was just strolling from one wing of the castle to the next, smiling at her servant before turning the corner and heading to Mrs. Fran. Just the name sent a shudder through her body. The woman was just not a favorite, from her pursed lips to her wrinkly hands, the princess liked nothing about her. To be honest, arithmetic was more appealing at the moment.<br/><br/>It didn't take long to get to the room, two servants already there and expecting her arrival. Not giving them a second glance as they opened the doors, Liliana strode in with her head high, giving a false pleasant smile to the old woman, "Mrs. Fran. Good to see you."<br/><br/>The old woman wore a rather plain outfit, just a simple light blue dress with a white collar. Her violin was already in her hands, Liliana's laying on the table beside her. She had her hair up in a pin and her eyes stared right back at the princess', putting on a rather forced smile as well. "My lady Liliana. Shall we start?"<br/><br/>"Why, yes! The sooner the better!" She almost skipped over to the instrument, grabbing it and putting it under her chin, bow at the ready.<br/><br/>They went through scales and arpeggios, each stroke of the bow sending a grimace through Mrs. Fran, the sound making you want to jump out of the window in the corner of the room.<br/><br/>For an hour this went on, the poor old woman almost at her  wits end. Liliana smiled and continued to play, thinking that she sounded lovely and enjoying the look on her teacher's face.
