Chapter 6- The new gown
Disclaimer: I own nothing :3
Violet woke up the next day sore and red-eyed. After last night how could she look at Scarlet? How could she look at Sarah?! Sweet Sarah who was in denial. She walked down the hallway to a dinning hall in full bloom.
Servants were polishing the old wooden table. New tapestries were being hung. In the ball room fabric of gold and silver were hung to the walls, streamers fell towards the earth, and glasses were polished. The ladies all stood talking with the Queen
"Good Morning" Violet curtsied
"Rise and good morning" Sarah rushed "I'm sorry my ladies but I must attend to the decorations for tonight"
So with that Sarah ran over to the cook
"Tonight?" Violet asked
"Why my darling the ball of course" Elizabeth answered
"Everyone will be there" screeched Mary excitedly
"And the King" Scarlet answered sedately
"Oh hush this will be great I heard your grandparents will come to" Anna said sternly
"I also heard they are bringing someone too" Anna added
"Who?" Violet said
"A scholar"
"Oh my" Violet felt faint the thought of seeing her love made her feel weak
"Who is it?" Scarlet asked
"Oh only a friend"
"Liar you're blushing who is it?" All the girls surrounded Violet wanting to know
"A suitor of mine I really do love him"
"Aw that is cute" Carmen finally spoke
"I haven't seen him and I'm excited now"
"But what will you wear?"
Suddenly it occurred to Violet she wasn't ready for a Ball all her clothes were meant to be worn causally nothing spectacular
"I'm not sure"
"We'll go find one now"
Before Violet knew it she was in the Queen's closet.
"Does the Queen always lend her clothes?" Violet asked
"Not always but seeing that you're in need of a dress she will have to lend you something" replied Anna who herself was checking a dress out
There were a variety of dresses all made of beautiful fabric and had lovely designs on them. Until finally Violet settled for a red gown with straps. A gown which was made of silk and had a draped sash
Violet gazed in the mirror at her reflection
"Oh my"
"You look dare I say it sexy" giggled Scarlet
"Be careful you might just catch the kings eyes" Anna warned
With the gown the ladies walked back to their room. They began to fix their hair and apply makeup. Violet gazed in the mirror what would Dallas think? Her lips had been painted red and she wore her hair to the side in curls. In her ears were small gold heart studs and on her neck a long gold chain with a cross
"Shall we go now ladies?" Violet asked she gazed at each lady all wore dresses that were made especially for them
"Yes" They all cheered
They walked down the hallway to the doors that lead to the Queen's room. For they must enter with her. Soon Sarah walked out in a dress made of dark purple velvet and her hair was adorned with jewels
"I must appear this way for my people" she sighed
She eyed the dress that Violet wore
"Violet that dress looks amazing on you"
With her ladies Sarah entered into the ballroom. Violet was amazed the ball was in full swing woman were dancing, trumpets blared, and a man in a suite announced their arrival. But all the woman wore dresses of a older style with fuller skirts. Oh well she thought the style of this dress was said to be big right now in the Daemon Kingdom.
She didn't notice the man staring.
