"Len do you think I'm pretty"
"No". "What!" Diane couldn't believe that after a week of making sure her dress was neat and her hair was combed and tidily put into a braid with a dark blue ribbon at the bottom and not a speck of dirt was on her face that he still didn't find her as lovely as Lillian March.
Sometimes it really sucked that she never could outshine her with beauty. Lillian was 16 and had gorgeous blond curls that made its way down her back and green eyes that really stood out. Her dresses were always elegant and appealing with bright fabrics and patterns . They has flower designs and in winter she had a great red cloak with white fur on the top.she was always considered innocent because of her soft smile.
Diane was 15 and also had some beauty but because of her status and clothes she was considered unappealing. Her hair was dark black like Lens and often had unmanageable curls in it. Her eyes were a dark shade of blue. Her dresses were old and stained but she would also wear male clothes.she was considered indecent whenever she went into town because of her beautiful body.
She and Len had been friends for years.That was what she called it. Len disliked her and thought of her as just a fallen nobles child who his parents took in as pity which was true,her mother died while giving birth to her since she couldn't afford to see a doctor because she was no longer a noble.Her father had died from sickness a month before her mother gave birth.
Len's mother was her best friend when she was a noble so when she heard her daughter was still alive she took her in secretly as a future maid.If word got out she was treating a fallen noble as a noble in her home people would have judged her and sent Diane back to the streets.
Diane and Len were raised together but were always apart.Since Diane was supposed to be a maid, after Len was 6 and she was 5 she had to start to learn how to do things.Diane had traits of her fallen family so if a noble saw her they would clearly see she was a descendent of the Clarisia family .She was always curious about Len and always wondered why he was so quiet, so when ever she could she would talk to him and ask him to play with her.
Len was quiet and liked to be by himself so whenever Diane would be around him he would get annoyed. Diane was silly,kind, and brave.Her smile was the only thing he like about her. Even though she was supposed to be a maid she way always messy.all of her normal clothes had stains and small holes.
When Len turned 12 he was visited for the first time by lady Lillian March. She was absolutely beautiful in Len's eyes. She was also quiet and proper. At the time Diane was also there but as a maid. She was jealous that Len looked at her like that. She also realized that Len didn't like her at all. Len had never had such a look on his face. After that day she visited Len a lot less.
