The maids and ladies in waiting lead me to the bathroom and began taking off my clothes, I don't know why I didn't rant but it felt natural, just like what Bentley said.
"How would you like the water, my Lady?"
"Lukewarm with rose petals on it please" I covered my mouth, when did I answer so elegantly? I don't even like roses in my bath
"I see, the usual it is" She bowed "If you'll excuse me, hurry now, we must double our time" She informed the maids
After the maids undressed me, I got in the bathtub and my oh my, it was very nice, I don't wanna go out there.
As I was chilling in the warm bathtub, the maids suddenly brushed my skin with a wet bubbly towel.
It hurt a bit but I couldn't complain why they were bathing me, and I didn't have the urge to decline like it was natural
After my long bath, Betty gave me a fluffy robe for me to clothe myself once I got out of the bath. I gladly accepted it and wrapped it around my body.
We then got out of the bathroom and since I'm getting dressed up, I assume we're going to my room.
"Lady Liezel, where are you going?" Betty asked
I looked at them feeling dumb "Isn't it-" I tried to cover up my accent with a cough, I almost forgot her accent is British "I'm sorry, but, isn't my closet in my room"
Betty giggled, in a polite way "You're being silly today Lady Liezel, we're going to the fitting room to fit your gown"
"Oh yes, I forgot, the banquet, right"
I ashamedly then followed them to the fitting room where a lot of beautiful gowns were stored, who wear this? I believe this is too much gown for a single person.
"Molly, the gowns please," Betty said to the other lady in waiting I assume based on her dress
The girl, Molly, she was adorable, she had blonde locks in a classic bob and beautiful blue eyes, she was also pushing one of the 5 mannequins along with a fellow lady in waiting and 3 maids
"The royal Jolie summer collection, straight from Jolie herself, and this design is for only you my lady, pour le seul et unique toi" (for the one and only you)
Nice, she's french
"Ah bon? Merci Molly" (Really? Thank you Molly)
"Surprise, je suis bilingual" (Suprise, I'm bilingual"
I forgot to tell y'all that I'm bilingual because my parents forced me to. hahaha
"Yes, her highness can speak a couple of Western, Eastern, Southern, and Northern languages"
"Please pick your gown for the banquet Lady Liezel," The third lady in waiting said as she presented the 5 summer gowns
"Thank you, Anastasia" And how did I know her name
There were five beautiful gowns in front of me, there was a pink ball gown, blue mermaid, green column, an orange trumpet, and a yellow a-line, and there were all floral and pretty, and I even notice hats to go with Yes I know the gowns and dresses, living with a designer mother makes you memorize it.
But seriously, this is a summer collection, it will make you feel the heat because of the thickness of the fabric.
"All are beautiful but, I'd like to wear the yellow one for today"
"Yes my lady" Betty snapped her finger and the maids took the remaining gowns and placed them back from the curtains
Betty, Molly, and Anastasia helped me put on the gown, and it looked gorgeous. The closer I looked at it, I mean as it is on me, I noticed it was an off-shoulder floral yellow a-line gown that perfectly shaped all of my curves, or Liziel's curves.
All of them dropped to silence as they looked at me
"Is there something wrong? Is its stomach too big? I shouldn't have eaten that cucumber from earlier"
"No, you look, beautiful Lady, you always looked beautiful but, you're more beautiful now"
"Really? Thank you, I mean, thank you for reminding me, you know what I'm saying" Okay, my quirky side is coming out because of that flattering complement
"And oh, the shawl, the shawl, we almost forgot the shawl," Anastasia said as she ran to get a golden shawl as I admired my unbelievable body in the mirror "You always wear cover-up shawls, silly me your highness"
Anastasia then offered the shawl to me "A shawl? Thank you but, I won't wear it today, if I'm gonna wear a shawl, I should have not worn this off shoulders and picked the long sleeves instead"
Once again, they dropped in silence and stared at me
"What's the problem? Do I look pretty again?"
They didn't answer, they look like they were afraid to speak
"Come on, don't be shy, tell me"
"But, your highness always wears a shawl in public" It looks like Betty couldn't believe it "I'm just a bit worried"
"Don't worry Betty" I tapped her shoulder and smiled at her "Everything's gonna be ok, perhaps a little change wouldn't hurt right?"
"Right" She smiled faintly
"Her highness also looks better without the shawl," Molly butted in
"Molly" Anastasia and Betty hissed her
"I'm so sorry your highness" Molly quickly bowed and apologized
"It's okay Molly, I agree with your opinion as well"
The tension between the four of us wore off, they started getting more comfortable and used to the new Liezel, which is actually pretty good.
They then put natural makeup on me as I requested and naturally too, I look beautiful.
After my all my preparations, we head out to the ballroom for the banquet
"I feel like I know the way already" I murdered to myself praising my confidence that I know which direction the ballroom is
And then suddenly, someone hugged me in the back and then placed her head on the top of my shoulders beside my neck
"What the?!"
