'The maids came in earlier, probably Loretta,' she congratulated herself for retaining that piece of information. Then the redhead turned her attention to the table.
She uncovered the platter and found… a piece of paper? Across the top 'Ms. Natalia's Schedule' was printed in curly script. It read the following:
06:30- wake up call (Sounds of the Amazonian Rainforest)
07:00- breakfast in South Wing Dining Hall with siblings
08:00- studies with Mssrs. Giovanni, Roberts, Cartier
11:30- recreational 'free' time
12:00- photo shoot for TEEN SCENE Magazine
02:00- luncheon with representatives…
The list went on to name every single aactivity she was supposed to do. Kim was not pleased- to say the least- with the rigorous schedule. It was like they controlled the princesses' entire lives.
Soon she found herself being escorted by two armed men to the dining hall. "Morning, everyone," she said automatically. Luckily no one found it unusual.
"Nattie, Lee, did you read your schedules?"Izzy asked. "Mine says we might actually get to have afternoon tea with the the Queen!"
Kim wondered why she was excited over seeing her own mother- and why did they refer to their parents as King and Queen?
Just then Ana barged in. "Omigosh! You girls won't believe it! There's a new baron visiting here- and he's a total hottie!" Never in his life had Ron been referred to as a total hottie.
"And we care because?" Saara drew a blank.
"Because he's my future boyfriend/date to the Maytide Ball-well, we haven't met yet, but NOBODY turns down Princess Adriana."
Kim felt rolling her eyes was the appropriate thing to do (and it was).
The teen hero discovered that royal children spend every waking moment together, at least at Byzantine Palace. They did meet Baron Pararcapaz at the representatives' lunch. Ron's face lit up when he saw his friend's familiar face. Kim's did too, and they tried not to show it.
"Did it hurt?" the freckled boy asked Adriana, who sat in the seat nearest him.
"Did what hurt, Ronaldo?" she said his name in a sugar-coated way.
The other sisters look at each other disgustedly.
"When you fell from heaven?" Ron answered smoothly.
'Oh no, please not that line! What is he thinking?' Kim expected the older girl to turn away angrily.
Instead she glowed with happiness. "Of course it didn't. How would I have maintained my perfectly smooth skin? Besides, you should know honey. You were right up there beside me."
'This is going to be one weird week.'Kim though exasperatedly.
Sorry for not updating in a while.
