Hi everyone! I'm sorry I've been so slow but I've had exams and speech and
drama eisteddfods. I've already started my next chapter and I hope you
enjoy this one!
Okay, you know and I know the drill, I don't own Danielle, Marguritte,
Baroness de Ghent, the Queen, the King, or Henry, I don't think I've left
anyone out! But I do own the plot and everyone else!
~~~~~ Danielle lay in bed happily thinking about the night before; the mask had been perfect, just like a dream. She suddenly remembered something she had said to her father before he'd died, "Just like a dance"; she smiled thinking about that. Last night had been something she would have dreamed about when she was a girl. There was a soft tap on the door, Danielle got up slowly thinking that it was Henry, she walked over to the door, still dreaming happily and opened it. There was nobody there, she looked up and down the hall in puzzlement, and she was just about to close the door when she decided to look down. There on the ground was a letter, Danielle picked it up and walked back to her chambers. When she was there she sat down on a seat in her chambers and broke the seal; she read the letter silently, her anger building with each word. When she'd finished she scrunched the letter up, tears of rage falling down her beautiful face. The letter was a blackmailers note.
You will not marry Prince Henry or Paulette, Louise, and Maurice will be taken and will come to great harm! Signed

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Danielle stiffened and hurried to the door, silently resolving to find out who'd sent it. She would marry Henry. Danielle opened the door warily and slumped in relief when she saw that it was Henry.
Henry saw the tearstains along her face. "What's wrong my love?" he asked concerned, wondering what could have happened to make Danielle upset. He's never seen her upset; she was always bright and happy, looking on the good side, so that she was like this made him worry.
"Oh nothing" Danielle forced cheerfulness into her face, deciding not to worry Henry. "Everything's fine" she leaned up and gave him a kiss.
When they pulled back Henry searched her face but decided to let it go. "Well I have sent for a servant, she will be your dressing maid unless you wish otherwise."
"Thankyou Henry" Danielle whispered, both of them knowing what the thankyou was for, then there was a step behind him and he whirled around. It was the maid he had sent for.
"Your Majesty, milady" she said in a tone that indicated that she wasn't new to being a maid. Henry frowned at her tone, which was less then respectful but Danielle started talking to distract him.
"Hello, come in and you can help me get dressed, Henry I'll meet you for breakfast in 15 minutes."
She and the maid walked into Danielle's bedchamber and Danielle helped the maid find a dress for her to wear. Danielle bravely tried to make a conversation but the maid clearly did not want to talk.
It turned out the maid's name was Catharine and that she had been working as a maid for four years, ever since her family had kicked her out of her home, but try as she might Danielle couldn't figure out why she had been kicked out.
When Danielle was ready she turned to look at herself in the mirror. She was beautiful, even she had to admit that, the dress she was wearing was a low cut red dress, with barely any trimmings, but it didn't need any. Although Catharine wasn't very friendly she was it turned out she was an expert with hair and makeup. Danielle had a series of plaits twisted into a knot at the base of her neck, and at the end of each plait was a ribborn with a ruby in the middle of it.
"Catharine, you're a genius I don't think even the Queen could look this good, thankyou." Danielle gushed, meaning every word she had said. "I'm going to recommend you to the Queen"
"No!" Catharine gasped alarmed "Please don't! Don't ask me to explain but please, please don't" Danielle was about to question her, when she saw the panicked look in her eyes and how she was trembling"
"Alright, I won't, but I'm not going to pretend I understand. I have absolutely no idea why you wouldn't want to work for her but, fine"
Danielle smiled reassuringly at the frightened girl and walked out the room to find Henry.
