The maids rush into the bathroom and start to undress me. In my last life the maids bathed me and dressed me in all of my clothes for the wedding. I was so confused and embarrassed then, I had the mindset of a true commoner back then.
I sat in the tub and let them bathe me as I thought about the days to come. The day I was due to meet the little child that killed me. Part of me felt fear as I thought of the things she'd done to the people and how she'd finally won.
"My Lady, if you could please step out so that we may dry you." said the maid with the short brown hair.
"Of course." I step out of the now cold bath and walk towards the drying bench. I sit and reach for the vanilla oil. "I'd like this one."
"Of course My Lady." she looks slightly shocked at my abrupt words, but I decide to ignore it.
More maids walk in as the first two finish drying me and start to apply the vanilla oil.
"I'm sorry My Lady but-" A blonde haired girl speaks and looks at the oil that the maids are applying.
"Is their a problem? I need to be ready in the next three hours." I say putting on a confused face.
"I was sent to retrieve the vanilla oil for the princess." she says eyeing the bottle and frowning.
"Did she request it? I thought she was only five?" I say with a slight giggle that makes the girl look at me with a glare.
"I wanted to use it for her because it's her favorite. If-" she starts to say after schooling on a neutral face.
"I'm afraid that I'm already using it. You'll have to find another bottle to use. If you had come a little sooner then I would be able to give it to you but we've already started to use it."
"I need-"
"I'm gonna have to ask you to leave now. I need to be ready soon, I have no time to talk now." I glare at her as she storms off with the other maids that came with her. My maids continue to apply the oil and another maid comes in with my under-garments.
"My Lady." the maid leaves with a bow.
"My Lady, we are ready to dress you now."
"That's fine then. Let's move into my room now." I stand and take a towel to wrap around myself as I move into my room.
After assisting me with my under-garments the maids turn to my dress. The dress is all white with almost clear lace making up the majority of the dress. The veil is of the same material with a jeweled comb to hold it in place atop my head.
After putting on my dress, they decide to style my hair in a braided barrette. My hair is curled, braided, and the placed into a bun that's set with a white diamond flower barrette.
I need to go without makeup because of the palace traditions but it's not really a problem, I never really wore makeup until I started ruling by myself. I look at my maid and ask her to bring the remnants of the vanilla oil to the princess. She smiles and leaves me alone in my room as I think of the events to come.
