Chapter 6 Why not?

* Star *

I hate this dress. I hear that in Tortall girls wear breeches, and have flowing gowns instead of stiff, back clenching, poofed up things. No body believes it though. Should I hide again? Methlaude got terribly angry at me last time. I will have a spanking, but I wont have to sit through lessons I don't need. I already know Yamani etiquite. And I'd never agree to marrying a foreigner as they plan. Yes, Why not? I'll hide tonight.

I take off this overdone stripy drees and put on a thick maroon skirt, and tie a dark purple kimono loosely over it. I look in the mirror, almost laughing at the way I wear my clothes. It doesn't matter as long a no one sees or knows. I grab glow stone and tuck it into a small bag.

Up the mountain. I'll hide in the mountain.
