Chapter 4 - The Tea party

Rebecca and Sofia were busy picking jewellery, when their Butler came in and handed over two letters to the young ladies. Sofia was looking at her letter curiously when she heard a sigh and looked at Rebecca. Sofia noticed and asked, '' Why are you sad dear sister? Is anything wrong?'', Rebecca answered, '' Nothing is wrong sister but I thought he would have sent me a gift with the letter.'' Sofia replied, '' And who is...wait don't tell me it's him who sent the letter and what did he say?'' Rebecca answered, '' He invited me to a tea party and said I should dress simply. I don't blame him, I was even thinking about wearing a plain dress.'' Sofia replied, '' I haven't opened mine yet'' Sofia opened it and she was shocked, Rebecca smiled and said, '' Is it Prince Salvador?'' Sofia replied quickly,'' Yes it is and he's inviting me to a tea party tomorrow.''

Rebecca came to the tea party and the dress she wore was light blue with a pinch of silver, the simple dress brought out her delicate face and she looked gorgeous. The Crown prince was waiting for her and when she approached him, he took her hand and led her to a table filled with beautiful dishes and cookies carved like bunnies and giraffes. When Rebecca took her seat, she stared at the dishes with out taking a bite and the Crown prince couldn't help but say, '' Are the dishes not to your liking? I thought beautiful girls like you love cute things?'' Rebecca laughed and say,'' I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I just thought these dishes were to childish but don't worry you can make it for you future kids.'' The Crown prince laughed and said, '' You'll not drink your tea?, It's getting cold.'' Rebecca drank her tea and said, '' What is the flavour of this tea, it smells like cherry'' The Crown laughed and led her to the carraige and said, '' I hope we meet again Miss Rebecca'' Rebecca smiled before shutting the carriage door.
