I got up out of the bed and looked at myself in the mirror, while ignoring the inquestitive Olive girl. I had enough problems without her getting in my way. I need to see what I have to work with.

My hair was a lot longer that it was and it was lighter blonde with brown streaks. There was a slight wave to it that gave what I like to call character to my hair that most people don't have and need. My eyes were the same old foggy blue that would still be confused as green unless you were really close. My skin tone was still very pale.almost see though. I had grown a little taller, so I was now slightly taller than average. My nails were clean and my saving grace that I have kept them clean and pretty. You can always tell a fake royal from a real royal if their hands and nails are rough and dirty.

I may be able to carry this off. Things are finally starting to go my way but I am still not holding my breath. My looks aren't really eye catching, but what I lack in looks I can make up with charm and schmoozing. Which are something to brat about, if don't say so myself.

Now I need a lot of money or three dresses and accessories and a title and a name and I need them before tonight. I think I know where to get them. I think.

"Lady Hattie?"

"ooo ooo.yYess?" She tries to look completely and utterly helpless. Unfortunately it isn't working.

" I have prepared you a bath. I have laid out a dress for you to wear to the ball tonight but if you are not feeling that well then I can give you dinner in bed and you can just rest and I will send your apologies to .."

"Welll lets not get carried away. I mean I have just only arrived and I do not want to give the wrong impression?" she cooed, "I will just have to make a great effort. Besides there is never pain without gain."

For once we agree!

"If you are sure my lady. You must hurry then because I do not want your bath to get too cold for you."

"I will go now. I will have to be fashionably late of course, but I do not want the prince to miss one moment of us being together." She said with dreamy conviction.

HAH!! I almost snort.

"I will be waiting out here.actually, where is Olive?" This too easy!

"Oh my! I cannot believe she would wonder off again after she wondered off before! Would you be so kind as you look for her and tell her to ready herself quickly for the evening?"

"Yes, my lady, I will find her as fast as I can."

"Now there is a good pet. I am to my bath and I shall not tarry long."

And with this she left. I laughed to myself, for I knew perfectly well where Olive was because I sent her away to go get some ingredients for some white cake she wanted me to make in my spare time. Which I really don't think is going to happen any time soon but we will see. Now I must go.
