Chapter 5: The Letter
The week after the dinner seemed to fly by, everyone starting the preparation for the ball. Everyone watching Eliza's every move, trying to size her up. Try to learn how much of a threat she might be. Because that is how everyone is judged in every palace, no matter the planet, its not how much of a friend one can be, but how much of an enemy. Eliza, kept herself busy avoiding Zan, and getting herself acquainted with the nobles, the staff, and became increasingly better friends with Vilandra. And the more time she stayed here, the less she saw of her brother, Rath. Rath would stop by sometimes, and usually before Mina would inform Eliza that he was there, they be in arguing, and Rath would spend most of his time arguing with Mina rather than speaking to his sister. But both Eliza and Mina were getting exhausted, trying to get used to a new place. Trying to learn their limits.
Mina's POV
"I am exhausted! I hate the first week!"-I inform, my dearest, darling best friend, who seems to not understand exactly HOW exhausting my job is! I mean look at her, she still looks perfect, not an ounce of her seems tired, or out of place. Augh! How does she do it?
"Mina, arnt you used to it by now? I am"- Used to it? She asks me?!? Its not like we do this on a weekly basis. The first week only comes once every few years! Argh! Used to it. And who is knocking now?!? It better not be that brother of hers. He is so infuriating! He thinks he is so smug, and superior! Well let me tell you he isn't...
"Mina, are you going to get that or should I?"- Oh right, the door.
"I'm getting it"- I swear if its him, I will have to strangle someone, and sing Eliza is the only one hear, it'll probably be her. Such a shame.
"Oh , Hello"- Who is this? A servant, but not one that I have seen before. My god, how many servants does this place have?? "
I have a message for a Ms. Mina, I was told I could find her here"- God, she doesn't even look me in the eyes, she thinks I am noble. Well, that's a first. Me, noble...ha! What a joke. "
Thank you"- I say taking the letter. I notice that she hesitates but she doesn't leave. What is she doing? What is Eliza doing.
"Thank you for your services"- Oh... money! I didn't even think to give a tip! This is the reason why Eliza is the noble, and I am...well a noble friend.
"Whose the letter from?"- Eliza asks, ITS ALEX!!! "It from ALEX!"- I squeal, and so does she.
"Read it outloud!"- She pleads... "
Ok"- I open the letter.
"Dear Mina, and Eliza because I know that she is reading this to you too. Isn't it scary how much I know you to! (so true!) Well from what I have heard from your letters, your first week has been very interesting. Ha. Eliza, what is this about you and the prince? (I look over to see her blushing). And I heard that this Rath guy is a jerk from Mina, and Eliza claims that the two of you flirt continuously... well all I know is that all these stories make me worried. Flirting? With either of you, well these guy need my approval. And I am appalled that neither of you have asked for my approval! But that is why, I have decided to take a vacation. I am going to come a visit, next week. I have already made arrangements as to where I am staying. I am just writing so that you guys can get off and meet me. So I can see the two most loveliest ladies in the whole galaxy?
Love, Alex"
O GOD ALEX is coming!
"There is no way, he is staying in some crappy hotel, I'll see what I can do, then write him back"- Eliza informs me. Alex!! That is all I can think about. My brother, the coolest man in the galaxy!
