Rahlaeya - Wind of the morning

Morning. Maybe her favorite moment of the day. The moment when you're between the dream that enlightens your night, and the duty as a queen. It's just a matter of minutes before the servants finally notice that the queen is awaken. Soon, one will put her royal make-up all around her eyes and will put the heavy crown on her head.
Rahlaeya always takes some seconds at the windows to appreciate the gentle breeze of the morning. A warm breeze, but not a smoothing one like it will be in a hour. After all, even if we're in an oasis, that's still the desert.
The queen couldn't help but to think she's just a bird in a golden cage to the end, trapped in the duties of a noble.
