The garden

I awoke this morning to a cold breeze flying in through my window, It sent a chill down my spine as I gently lowered my legs off the bed and put on some slippers, I placed a scarf over my shoulders as I made my way down to the dresser and pulled out the satin chair as I placed myself down upon it and stared at my reflection.

I applied blush to my cheeks and brushed my hair until it was silky smooth. Then I walked over to my dressing room and admired a gown hanging there it was different from my last it was a baby blue with a pink undertone with lily embroidered onto it as I slipped into my corset and placed the dress over my head I felt so pretty and amazing, as I put on the matching shoes that were a soft pink.

I then twirled back over to my dresser and put my hair into a half up half down with daises placed carefully into the ponytail. A little after the butler came and knocked on the door. I replied with a small voice saying," Come in." The butler opened the door and gazed at me with his mouth open. "Can I help you?" I laughed he suddenly raised his yes, embarrassed as his cheeks went red.

"The Duke has supposed you" My smile soon faded as I went red with embarrassment for I had been forced to bow my head slowly lowered as my breath quickened and sweat engulfed my palms "yes of course I will come with you" I Said with a plastered smile embedded onto my face.

Why was the walk there always so deadening? Why did it claw at my insides? The grand door swung open, and there in the middle of the room was the prince and the other ladies. I lowered my head in a bow and shifted my gaze to the prince.' Sadly, he was not the one I liked. Sadly, his brother was not there the Duke spoke, his voice filled the room" my son here will now choose who he wants to have tea with this morning" with that the prince made his way around the room studying each girl staying longer at the girl who he chose before, before coming to me, he than lifted his head to his father and declared" I want this one today" The Dukes face looked shocked, yet he merely waved his hand as me and the 'prince' were now being escorted to the gardens.

Once we had reached a bench the 'prince' spoke " you are not my first choice nor will you be my last, you are ugly to me" My face fell as I lowered my head yet, I replied" trust me prince you are not my type either" his majesty looked at my shocked,he merely chuckled" why did you pick me?" his face turned more serious as he glared at me" because my brother finds interset in you, he told me to invite you to his room tonight" now my mouth was hanging open in shock, I replied" tell him I'll be there".
