The Best of the Best
Dear Ms. Garst, Even though I just met you this year, it feels like I’ve gained so much trust and knowledge. In my previous years, math wasn’t my strongest subject, for a long time other students were better at math than me. They learned so fast while I learned pretty slow. Not until I met you this year did I gain this confidence in myself that I can learn as fast as other kids. You helped me when I struggled and you made me feel comfortable in case I made a mistake.

When Lady Gabriella Fairavard entered the ballroom I was filled with anger. I was angry because I had become the laughing stock of the court because some woman had decided to pass herself off as a knight, and take the place of one of the Kings most disreputable court members. I probably could have handled being laughed at better if Darius had shared in some part of the laughter, but no one dared laugh at the King’s best and favorite, especially when he hadn’t let the defeat by a woman throw off the rest of his matches. I couldn’t believe that I had let a woman get the best of me. Every time I had glanced her way I faltered and lost a match. Even the victories towards the end didn’t save me the humiliation I endured. The lady infuriated me more so than any woman ever had. When Darius suggested we should pay our respects to her, I was reluctant. Reluctant because I knew underneath her beauty there was a tongue on her. I learned that the hard way when I approached her in the square before the tourney. Eventually Darius persuaded me to accompany him in paying respects to her, when he pointed out if I didn’t that the whole court wouldn’t let me live the fact that I let being defeated by a lady throw off the rest of my matches.

Why I Changed My Mind And Opted to Fight My Chronic Illness
His death was the final straw. After my dad and sister passed, God calling back my lover, friend and yes the first real man I would have submitted to once I healed from the hurt; it was definitely time for a change. Had I known that impulsive decision would have caused a domino effect I would have stayed my ass in Colorado, living in my childhood home, working at my dream hospital job, riding out my remaining years of multiple streams of income till reserves were tapped. However, I made the impulsive decision to move with no real plan in place during a pandemic no less. Well at the time I didn't know a pandemic was going to happen because had I known that I wouldn't have compromised my health no matter if I had been for the most part in remission (a significant amount of time with no major lupus symptoms) other than my normal aches and pains that were managed by my pain meds. No sir looking back had I known a pandemic was going to happen and the domino effect of being homeless, not getting medical care for my chronic illness, not being able to get meds, having to work 3 jobs 7 days a week, Arizona threatening to take my daughter because I didn't have anyone to watch her while I was sick in the hospital; yes I would have stayed in Colorado where I had established care, my meds were available to me monthly like clockwork, one job that paid all my bills, a home and most importantly I knew the laws and my daughter wouldn't be taken by CPS if I didn't have anyone to watch her while I was sick in hospital because I knew my docs and they let her stay or if not I had a village in Colorado.

It was officially announced that court season had arrived and all of us were trying to busy ourselves with what could be done. Today was going to be the day that we were going to announce ourselves to any suitors who would take our hand and find which one would be to our pleasing. I sighed as I woke up and looked around my chamber. I still thought of the possibility of running away, maybe out of Anevia into Vespar. Then what? I knew that there was not much work for a girl of my age. There was the handsome Ambassador, Gabriel Giovanni, who did say that if it came down to it he would rightfully take me in. I sighed as I got out of bed. Even if it did come to that, I knew I couldn’t leave my sisters, alone with my mother. I went to the hearth and rekindled the fire as Isabella ran into the room. “Hurry sister, we leave in minutes now.”

I grumbled as I searched the halls for Perius. I knew that it was he who had sent Lady Joan to me, and even more so he had better have good news for me. I found him wooing a lady with a lute and I rolled my eyes at the thought. Perius had spent too many days winning ladies hearts in the day and pleasing them at night. “A little early for love songs, don’t you suppose Perius?” I asked as I walked toward my man.

I walked away from Zaria and shook my head. After the ball I had spent my night dreaming of her and when I woke the next morning I swore I would erase all thoughts of her completely. But then I saw her again as she was presented at court and…I threw my hands up in frustration as I entered the King’s study.

I was surprised to find myself well enough to be able to spend the day with my second suitor, but I was; only because Blaine had not left my side until Zaria had come to retrieve me. It seemed that my first impression of him had been unjust. I didn’t think there was anyone left in this world that could match up to papi and then Blaine came along. True he appeared arrogant when I first met him, but the past few days I had seen the caring gentle side of him. I walked outside to a day that should have been glorious for writing in the woods had I not have someone to call upon me this morning. I walked stubbornly to the stables where my second suitor Baron Jed awaited with his horse and my horse hitched. “My lord what is it that you have in mind for this morning?”

I found poor Gabriella shaking with Blaine by her side. He saw me and departed, taking note of Gabriella for on e last time. I tended to her, ignoring her stubborn protest until she broke down and cried. I sighed as I held her, rubbing her back for some means of comfort. If only it was Gabriel’s arms that I was holding instead of my sister’s. I cursed myself for thinking such an ill thought and escorted Gabriella to our chamber. Still, that night I thought of him, and it seems that he too stole my sleep from me. In the morning I left our room, seeing a weary Isabella and an annoyed Gabriella. “Where is mother?”

I had no clue what had came over me last night, but I did know it had nothing to do with Darius. As soon as I saw the picture of that man I got a terrible headache and fainted. To my disappointment I awoke to mama by my side in the sanatorium. When mama had thought me well enough she took me up to the chambers where I laid in bed puzzled over what had happened to me. A headache for me was rare and only happened when something horrible has happened, like when daddy died. I guess I wouldn’t have minded as much if I hadn’t saw what I did before I fainted. I saw me playing in a courtyard with a young boy when suddenly a figure came out of nowhere and starts fighting with the boy. I run into the castle and find a man on the foyer bleeding, the man from the picture is standing over him looking at me. I stand there screaming until I am snatched up by someone. I tried shrugging it off and going asleep, but the scene kept repeating in my dreams. Getting out my bed I went to the window to stare at the stars like I used to do with daddy when he was still alive. My mind began to wander and more pleasant thoughts began to enter my mind. As I was about to turn to go to bed I saw Forbes or what I thought was Forbes speaking to a man robed in a cloak. Forbes nodded at something the man had said and looked up at my window. I moved out of sight hoping he had not seen me. When I thought it safe I looked out the window again, but they were gone. I went to sleep thinking nothing of it and hoping whoever was down there did not think that I had been spying.

Sitting with the nobles and listening to them talk lowly about each commoner who was presented made me think about what I was thinking when I decided to be one of them. I felt sorry for the ladies who had to be married off in order to help their families become of the better class. Personally it was probably easier becoming of noble rank that way than what I went through, but being married off meant it would be harder to win the respect of those who knew your true birth rank. My mind drifted from my thoughts when Lady Gabriella was presented next. “No man in their right mind will let her slip through their fingers or any of the Fairavard sisters at that. It is rumored you know that their father was a good friend of the King. The fact that all of them were named the fairest in Anevia, all though the only fair one is the youngest, makes them all worth offering for.” A voice said behind me.

When I heard from Calib that Gabby had taken my place in the tourney I was furious. Furious because she had drugged me with every intention to take my place in the tourney. When I confronted her she denied doing it and that only made me madder; madder to the point where I almost struck her, but I should of known it wouldn’t be so easy to bend her to my will, she was after all her father’s daughter. To make matters worse she went to my father’s studies to pay off her family’s debt, so that they wouldn’t be dependent on us anymore. I followed her to the studies in time to hear their conversation from the door. What he said to her could of called means for me to kill him, but I knew my father well enough to know that there was a reason behind everything he did. After she had left his studies I went in to talk to him:
