A/n: First of all I would like to thank everyone, for reading 'Another Female Musketeer with a secret' previously known as 'untitled musketeer story' I'm Thanking IcyFairy for the title. Sara is not the Bad guy, but like I said they will be an unexpected villain, so she could still be the villain.

"Princess Erika" In my hand was the book that would teach Erika everything about how to act like a princess. "This is the Princess's book of etiquette, now let's begin" I exclaimed and put the book on the stand that was in front of me. And I began to recite the first page of the book:/p

JULIAN (SPOKEN):Now remember, No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, Slurping, burping, twittering or frittering Stay Present, stay pleasant, stay proud."

I couldn't help myself, everything in my body was staying 'let it out, go on sing' and so I did.

"To be a princess
Is to know which spoon to use
To be a princess
Is to own a thousand pairs of shoes
To maintain a regal gait
Leave the parsley on your plate
And be charming but detached
And yet amused
To be a princess
Is to never be confused/p

"Do a pliй and never fall
Don't ever stray from protocol
All through the day
There's just one way
You must behave
Do keep a grip and never crack
Stiff upper lip and arch the back
Bend from above
And always wear your gloves
And wave

"Shoulders back and
Tummy in and
Pinky out and
Lift the chin and
Slowly turn the head from side to side"

And Erika caught the drift and also began to sing; "I see Now"

And then it was my turn again;

"Breathing gently
Stepping lightly
Smile brightly
Nod politely
Never show a thing you feel inside
Glide!"

I gently pushed her in to the closet of dresses, she returned a few minutes later in a blue and pink dress; it was nothing that Analise would wear. I carried on singing.

"To be a princess
Is to always look your best
To be a princess
Is to never get to rest
Sit for a portrait, never squirm
Sleep on a mattress extra firm
Speak and be clever
Never at a loss for words
Curtsy to every count and lord
Learn how to play the harpsichord
Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds"

Both I and Erika sung together, back to back

"Thirds, thirds"

I was distracted by the portrait of Analise and her cat, I was no longer singing about the rules of being a princess.

And
She has beautiful eyes
Your spirits rise
When she walks in the room

Erika quickly realised, and she smiled sweetly and knowingly.

I see

I didn't hear her I was in a bubble of happiness.

"Doors close
And the chemistry grows
She's like a rose
That's forever in bloom

With the crack of my own voice, I finally broke out of the trance and together I and Erika finished our song as a duet

Do a pliй and don't (Never ever ever fall)
Never show dismay (And be there when people call)
Be prepared whatever royal life will bring
Do keep a grip and don't (Ever ever ever crack)
Take a dainty sip (Never ever turn your back)
There's a time and place and way for everything

To be a princess
Is to never make your bed
To be a princess
Is to always use your head

And somehow the twin of Analise fell on the floor when I wasn't looking
I helped her up "Now how did you manage to do that?" I asked her; she reminded me of Flora. A small sad smile formed on my face. Flora could never walk in the long dresses that she was forced to wear. The always clumsy Flora

"I'm not used to wearing these types of dresses" The former brunette
"We need to interrupt the meeting with the ambassador and the queen, so that the wedding won't be cancelled" I said helping her up. We made our way down the corridors to the throne room.

"Julian can I ask you something" she said in a serious voice.
"Sure, what is it Princess Analise" unless we were completely alone I could not call her by her real name. The servants were voice was barely over a whisper "Why do you want to stop the wedding, if…if you love her-me?

I was not excepting this; it was a very good question, which I had no answer. "I believe, the princess, the real princess would never forgive me, if I didn't do this. Also it will give us the needed time to find Analise before em you em have to marry the king

"You care for her?" it was more of a statement than a
"I do, I just hope that's she's safe"
"So you don't love the princess!" she said with a sisterly smile
"No…No... How-why do you think that?"
"Okay, I believe you Mr Barley" I could tell by her smile that she did not believe me for one second.

By the time our conversation finished we were standing outside the throne room we stood there for a few moments, listening to the converation behind closed walls, I turned to Erika and squeezed her hand "Just remember I'll be here to help, you've meet Analise, just be her. Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be" she let out a shaky breath. Then she stood up straight and said in a more confident voice "Would you care, to escort me, sir"
The amabassador's voice echoed out of the walls of the room. "Maybe we should Cancel the wedding"I couldn't let this happen and with out thinking and threw open the doors and exclaimed.

"Your Highness! Wait!" everyone in the room turned to stare at me. I began to stammer "May I, uh, present , Princess Annalise" I gestured for Erika to enter.
"Darling?" the queen asked, she seemed to believe the pauper was the princess. Erika took a deep breath and walked carefully toward the queen (we didn't need another incident like that) She was making perfect process but then…"Whoa!" she screamed as she fell. She was up as quickly as she fell, began walking again like nothing happened.

"Analise?" the queen asked in shock , then she got up, and embraced Erika in a hug, it was clear that everyone in the room believed this girl to be the missing princess. Her spectacles were on the cusion beside her, I made my way toward them and hide them in my pocket. Robert saw this, but he gave me a questioning look and then looked back into the direction of Erika. I could trust Robert, he wouldn't think I was up to no-good. Then I returned to my normal position.
"I am sorry, I should not have run away" she said, like we /Preminger looked confused, like he knew where the real princess was. The Queen embraced Erika again "Promise me you'll never do it again!"

"Well I still think we should cancel the wedding" the ambassidor muttered, but the page, Robert, coughed and glared at the ambassador. With that look the ambassidor seemed to change his mind. emHow would Robert change the ambassador's mind. He was a servant nothing more. I'll have to investiagate that later, there was no time now.

Um,yes. But an agreement is an agreement! The wedding is back on!" he announced. "King Dominick!" he gestures to Robert, whom glared at the ambassidor, realizing his mistake carried on with his sentence "Is, oh, well,oh,is due tomorrow" he
"Wonderful" the queen
"Uh tomorrow?" Erika questioned, she was nervous and she had every right to be.
"And then only a few short days, before the wedding!" the queen said excitedly, then she looked around, questionably. "Oh, has anyone seen my spectacles?" Robert looked at me with an acusing stare, but said nothing.
Preminger stoke up and walked up to the group of royals "If you'll excuse me, I must be off to see to the-" he stopped then threw his hand back disgusted "the arrangements!" Erika's cat jumped in front of him and barked wildly, it was noticeable that Wolfie had taken a great dislike to the advisor.

"Ahh!" Preminger streamed, then he kicked the poor cat "Who let this mangy beast in here!" he spat.

"Everything, alright Preminger" I asked

"It soon will be." He smirked, and laughed evily, and made his way to the door. What did he mean by that?
Wolfie was sniffing at some kind of leaf that fell of Preminger's shoe. "What have you got there boy?" I asked the cat like he could answer. I examined the leaf"Hmm, from a silver fir tree" I looked at the cat and asked myself "What's Preminger doing in the western forest?" I got up to head for the door.

"Julian!" the Queen called. "Wait!" I turned to face her, "I want to hear all about how you found Analise"
"Uh" Preminger was getting away but I couldn't say no to the queen."I was on my way to see my mother when-" I was making it up as I went along "and I saw a blonde girl, dressed in pink. I, err, followed her and she reveled her self to me as the missing princess. She told me she was scared, she was scared of marrying a stranger whom she may not like nor love, I convinced her that everything would be okay as long as she never did that again" The queen thanked me for the safe return of her beautiful daughter. I bowed and left, following Preminger. However before I left I glanced over to Erika and mouthed 'I'll be back, don't worry' she gave me a smile as a way of telling me she got the message and left.

I rode into the forest with one of the palace's horses. In the middle of the forest, stood a small cabin. The lights were on and I could hear voices. Could this be where Analise is being help captive. I peered through the window that had a wooden board attached to it. I saw Preminger with two other guys .
"I can understand how the princess escaped you two!" said the furious preminger. I knew he was involved. "But why didn't she tell the Queen she had been captured?" he's suspious of Erika. This is danagerous."I must solve this princess puzzle if I am to be king?"

"King?Preminger?" I said to myself I heard a sound behind me, I turned to see preminger.
"How can you be king?" I asked. The last thing I saw was Preminger's sinister smile. Something went over my head. I struggled to get free but was pinned down
"You're the tutor; you're supposed to have all the answers."

Everything went black...
