"I hate this dress!" Kris yelled as Kel watched her struggling to move in the oversized, orange gown. "I feel like a stinking brothel girl!"

"Change your dress then." Kel suggested trying her hardest not to laugh.

"I should! Who cares what Father thinks! That dress is ugly!" She quickly stripped the dress off and pulled another out of her wardrobe. The dress she chose was a deep wine red with black lace. It had beautiful black pearl buttons and a semi-high waist. "Pull my corset strings, will ya? The dress is made for tight corsets." She said turning to Kel, who had a look of confusion.

"Milady doesn't know how to work a corset." Lalasa explained as she moved across the room to help the Yamani Princess. Kris laughed and speedily put the red gown on. Suddenly, there was a loud banging on Kel's magical door.

"What?" Kel demanded as she stalked over to the door, pulling it open to reveal several dishevel boys.

"Reporting for inspection!" Owen managed to spit out, panting. Kris laughed as the boys trooped in. Immediately, all the boys began to blush.

"Don't mind me. I'm just getting my hair curled." She said to the boys as Lalasa moved towards her with hot irons.

"I don't get it!" Neal screamed in frustration as he and Kel walked down the hall to the servers' room.

"Don't get what?" Kel demanded, frustrated that all he's told her was he didn't get it and it wasn't fair.

"Why I feel this way about her! And why she has to do what she has to!"

"Who?" She asked just as the serving master walked in.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Who is that boy talking about?" Kel asked herself as she carried the second plate of meat to the table where the Shang masters were sitting. She glanced up to Kris's table where Neal was serving. She watched the two talk and laugh as her heart sunk. He was talking about her best friend Krisanna. Neal had fallen in love with Kris!

"Something wrong?" Roald asked when she returned to the stairs. The Prince had always been a great friend and listen to her problem so now she confided in him.

"Neal's fallen in love with the Princess. And I think I'm in love with Neal." She confessed grabbing another plate and left.

She is so beautiful. Roald thought as Kelandry walked off. What? When did I start thinking Kel was pretty?
