Bye the way, I didn't divide it into chapters where you can scroll, and click it at the top. When I finish a chapter down the page, I will type, chap. 2.
Ella breathed in the cold, brisk air that October morning. She had one dilemma that regarded her hateful stepsisters, Hattie and Olive. Ella was now nineteen, and the king had invited Hattie and Olive to the Castle. Ella was now waiting for a reply. Prince Char was away on business, so it was rather quiet.
Ella sighed and swept gracefully toward her servant girl, Matilda. Ella began,'' Get the guest rooms ready for Miss Hattie and Miss Olive. They should be here in a few hours.'' Matilda hurried away to do what her mistress said. Ella then walked to her large, airy room. She looked at her dresses in her closet, looking for one to where. She then found a red, velvet bejeweled gown, which signified great wealth and royalty.
Ella brushed her hair, into a low bun. She then went to have a meeting with Duke Ellington. She opened the doors to the great library, and standing by the table was the duke. He was a tall, thin man with a sallow face, and sunken eyes. His piercing eyes sent daggers into Ella as she entered the room. He snapped,'' I have something to discus with you.'' Ella said angrily,'' Whatever it is, make it quite quick. I must help-" The duke said," There is the matter that you are above helping the servants. Also, you refuse to be queen. Rules say that since you married a Prince, you very much shall become queen one day." Ella was angry." Where does it say such a thing? I shall remain as I am. I will not become queen, Duke Ellington.''
Now it was the duke who was angry. He shouted,'' Enough of that, you disrespectful thing! You will be queen!!'' Ella stood up, and snarled,'' I should be leaving now. No one shall ever rule me and tell me my place!'' She rushed out of the library.

Hattie regarded the letter with impatience. Olive, her sister opened it, and shouted," Oh, Hattie. It is from Ella!'' Hattie spun on her heel.'' You give me that! What does she say?'' Olive looked at the engraved message saying," Ella wants us to come to castle tomorrow night for a visit.'' Hattie gasped." Why, Ella?'' Olive pulled on her dull blond curls." I don't know. I didn't think she liked us.'' Hattie rolled her eyes.
"Must you talk of her? She stole Prince Char." Olive said," Did he care for you, Hattie? Are you sure he was-" Hattie gave her sister a withering look, and that was the end of the conversation.
