Prompt: Hestia was her best friend, practically from birth. Their mothers were friends and they had play dates from the time they could lift their own heads. As children they were inseparable, and they only grew more-so as they progressed into those awkward teenage years of life. They refused to let those awful times drive them apart, instead facing them together like a sandbar that keeps back the waves.
When Hestia was engaged to the king, he was crown prince at the time, Callalily was ecstatic. Nothing pleased her more than her friend's happiness. It was only natural that she followed her friend into the palace as one of her ladies-in-waiting. However, things took a turn in their relationship soon after.
It was not uncommon for the rulers of Faretta to take more than one spouse, but it had not occurred for the last three generations. Many believed that the practice had died out. When the prince asked Callalily to marry him once he was crowned, to be his second queen, she wanted to refuse. She asked him to let her think about it and then ran to her beloved friend's side. Hestia urged her to take the chance, to become a queen alongside her. After all, they'd be equals again instead of the uneven power dynamic they currently held!
Callalily was unsure, but she accepted the proposal at Hestia's urging. Unfortunately the future was not so rosy as they'd hoped for and resentment began to form between the two as a competition emerged for their husband's affection.
A pair that was once like peas in a pod had now become two sides of a silent war.
However, even now, Callalily holds no friend closer in her heart than her dear Hestia.
