Chapter 44 - Fianally

I arrived at Jeanette's place, the Butler opened the door and I came out. He led me to Jeanette room, I dismissed him before going inside. I saw Jeanette working on another dress, I tapped her shoulders and she flinched before seeing it was me.

*************************

''So gurl, did you get enough evidence?'' Jenny asked, I replied ''Not yet, I need your help Jenny.'' ''What's the matter?'' Jenny asked, I replied, ''I don't think I'll be able to play Rubia tomorrow since my mom said I should visit Sofia.''

*************************

Jenny looked at me understandingly, ''So what do you need my help for?'' I sighed, ''I need you to play Rubia for me.'' Jeanette's eyes opened then she smiled into a crescent.

*************************

''Of course I'll play Rubia for you.'' I held Jenny's hand and smiled, I felt at ease at her reassuring. When the day came I waved at Jenny before entering the carriage.

{JEANETTE'S VIEW}

I watched as Rebecca left, Luther I will make sure you feel the pain in double for hurting Rebecca. I entered my room and got to work, the dress I made for Rebecca was simple I guess.

*************************

The skirt was below the knee and the hands were puffy, I wore the dress and applied only the skin tone. I wore a black haired wig and got into the same carriage Rebecca took yesterday.

*************************

I saw Luther at the Imperial gates probably waiting for me, I walked down and saw Luther looking at me. ''What happened?'' I asked, Luther came back to his senses and replied, ''Nothing, It's just the first time seeing you in a simple dress.''

*************************

I rolled my eyes in my head but maintained my smile, he took my hand and led me inside. I explored the palace, Luther noticed the excitement in my eyes and said, ''This should be the second time you came to the palace, I'll tour you.'' I nodded subconsciously.

*************************

We were almost through with the tour when we bumped into the Empress, ''Blessed be to the Moon of our Empire.'' I greeted, ''Mother''Luther greeted too.

*************************

Empress Nian looked at me from head to toe and nodded in satisfaction, ''Is this the girl you want to replace that trash with, she is indeed very pretty.''

*************************

''Thank you for the complement, your majesty.'' I said but inside I was fuming in anger, how dare they call Rebecca trash she's hundred percent better than you.

*************************

The Empress waved her hand and we continued the tour, we went to the Imperial eating room to get Lunch. When we were eating Luther accidently choked on his food, I poured a glass of water and handed it over to him.

*************************

The words I've been waiting for came out from his mouth, ''The days we've spent together was a memory imprinted in my heart Lady Rubia from house Barcelona, we'll you marry me?.''

*************************

I coughed twice before answering, ''OMG of course I will but can you make it formal by sending a letter with your seal on it asking for my hand in marriage?''
