I finally have inspiration for chapter four. Yay! I hope you like this chapter. I'm planning to make it longer than the others. They've all been pretty short haven't they? Anyway. Please review and give feedback or even suggestions if you want.

Chapter 4

Getting ready for a bath was more embarrassing than Ella had ever experienced before. She'd always drawn her own, so she never had to be naked in front of another female her age. The future queen covered herself whilst she stepped into the tub. Daisy tried not to laugh. It was very funny but Ella's childhood status wasn't too far away from her own, so she understood the sudden shock to the system. The maid lathered her new mistress's hair and washed it out. She took an ivory comb and brushed out all of the knots in Ella's hair. It took a while to get them all out but eventually Ella had her hair falling down her back with ease. The servant helped her out and dressed her in a dressing gown so that Ella could get her hair dried. Daisy softly padded over with a towel and asked the future queen to follow her.

They went back into Ella's bed chambers. Daisy offered a chair to the blonde haired lady, who smiled gratefully. There she sat patiently while Daisy's nimble fingers dried her hair. She pinned some of the curls into a simple but beautiful hairstyle. She turned her head upwards towards the slightly older female.

"Thank you. It's lovely."

Daisy curtsied quickly.

"It was my pleasure m'lady. Now. If you could stand up?"

So the honest, country girl did so easily. Her maid sympathised and asked if Ella could take off her garment so that she could be measured for clothes. The younger female blushed but did so. Daisy quickly, and accurately, measured the merchant daughter's torso and limbs. Then she wrote down the measurements. Ella's servant put away her items and smiled.

"I think we have a corset and a few dresses that will fit you for now. I will send this list to the royal tailor. You will soon have enough clothes for an army."

Just as the girl was about to turn away the soon-to-be queen caught her arm.

"But Daisy. I don't want that many. I just want some outfits for everyday purposes and a few for royal occasions. I have never had many possessions and I would feel easier keeping it that way."

The older girl nodded and grinned.

"I understand. Now," Daisy noticed the late sun outside "Let's get you ready for his majesty."

Ella followed her maid's glance and gasped.

"Yes. We must. Please help me prepare dear maid."

The brown haired female laughed musically and ushered Ella to the cupboard.

"Come here miss. We will see what we can find."

The blue eyed woman bounced on the balls of her feet and quickly walked to the room divider where the cupboard sat. Daisy opened the squeaky door and they peered inside. There were many fine dresses hanging up but there were few that would fit the girl. Some were too big and some were just too small. There were three though that were waiting for her decision. One was ruby red and was similar to the one that Princess Chelina wore. It was very long and Ella was sure that she'd trip over in it. The second one was green and had puffy sleeves. It was shorter than the other one but the neckline was low. It looked more like the dress was more for when she and Kit were married. The last one was not too different from her usual dress. It was sky blue with a ribbon just below the breasts. The sleeves had the same puf as the green one but the sleeves continued normally. It looked like it would fit Ella and the dress was to her tastes.

"This one." Ella pointed to the blue gown.

"Ah yes." Daisy smiled "I thought it would be that one."

She scratched her head.

"Now for shoes."

Ella swallowed back a groan and so they went on with their search.

In the end, Ella chose some white slippers that were close to her normal blue ones. She and Daisy chatted while she dressed. Already, Ella felt comfortable in the castle. It was like she was always destined to be there.
