Cinderella's Greatest Treasure
 

Cinderella sat in the room she shared with her husband Mathias, getting ready for the day by first putting up her hair.

Her blonde hair had been passed on to her daughter who was now old enough to go through princess training.

The queen sighed and looked back at Mathias who was looking through their closest, getting dressed.

"Do you think she's frightened about her training starting today?" she asked worriedly. Her and Mathias were very close to their daughter. Especially Mathias who was very overprotective.

Annalise sat on her bed in her room, looking down at the light pink dress that flowed around her. Her hair had been done in loose curls that stacked on the top of her head, making her look elegant yet young. Today was the day she would be starting her princess training and she was anything but excited.

Mathias looked back at his wife as she heard her question, choosing one of the nicer suits to wear. "You know she would have told us if anything was wrong love. Maybe she is excited. She'll finally be able to attend the state dinners." He said as he walked over, gently kissing his wife.

Cinderella frowned a bit.
"I suppose you're right... Perhaps we should check on her before the tutor comes? She could have been afraid that she'd disappoint us if she didn't want to do it." she said, sighing a bit before standing. She picked out a light blue dress and quickly put it on.
"Will you come with me or do you have something to do today?" she asked, helping Mathias to straighten his collar.

Mathias looked over at her a bit, sensing the motherly love she had and gently walked over once she had pulled the dress on, letting his arms wrap around her waist and gently leaned down to kiss her forehead. "She will be fine Cindy.." He said and gave her a small smile. "You know I'd love to stop in..It will only be for a quick minute though. I have a few things I need to go over.."

Cinderella smiled and nodded, determined to make sure their daughter was okay.
"That's just fine. I know she'd love to have you there even for a little while."
She wrapped her arms around Mathias' neck and reached up on her tip-toes to kiss him softly.
"Plus, I can tell that you're worried, too. She may be growing up, but you're still her daddy." she giggled.

Mathias smiled lightly as she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him back gently. "You know I love Anna with all my heart..I just can't stand seeing her growing up from being my baby girl to a grown up.." He said with a soft sigh and gently rubbed her shoulders, grabbing her hand. "Come on. I think we need to see our daughter." He smiled.

Annalise got up a from her bed after a few minutes. She was 14 and considered to be an adult now. She knew her parents wanted her to go through the training, and she would for a little bit, but she was scared she wouldn't be as good as a Princess as her mom was.

Cinderella smiled at her husband and led the way to Annalise's room. She knocked softly before opening the door and walking in.
When she saw Annalise in her new dress with her hair done up, she smiled even brighter.
"You look beautiful, my love." she said, pulling the girl into a hug.

Annalise had been pacing a bit, looking around the room a bit until she heard the knock on the door and saw her parents. She let out a breath of relief as she was brought into her mother's arms and rested against her chest a bit. "Thank you mommy.." She said as she hugged her back.

Mathias stood back as he watched his daughter and wife embrace, smiling lightly. "You do look beautiful darling.." He said as he gave her a little nod.

Annalise couldn't help but let go of her mother and wrap her arms around her father, hugging him. "Thank you daddy.." She said quietly, staying in his arms a bit before she pulled away after Mathias kissed her forehead.

Cinderella looked around her daughter's room as Mathias and Annalise communicated. She spotted their daughter's custom made tiara sitting on the dresser of her vanity and picked it up delicately.
"Come to Mother, darling." she said, wanting to help Annalise put her tiara on.

Mathias gently brushed his daughters hair back with a smile. "You're growing up so quickly honey.." He said and kissed her forehead.

Anna smiled lightly and closed her eyes gently before she gave a little frown at the idea of growing up. Her mother called her over just in time before Mathias was able to comment, Anna going over to her mother. At the view of the tiara she got a bit nervous, knowing her childhood was about to be taken away. "Mommy?" She said quietly.
