Sarah went to work the next day. She immediately went to the employee tents. She got a dress and got it on. It was a beautiful golden dress. She looked very royal in it. She was now in a chair getting her hair curled and makeup done.
She looked around in the mirror. Keeping an eye on things. If a doppelganger came about. She wanted to make sure it was 100% not who she thought it was. She got sprits down with body spray to smell nice for the day, and she was free to sit until opening.
She pulled a book out and sat to read while she waited for her to be a part of the opening of the fair. "Hey Sarah? This was dropped for you." Someone from security said going up to her. She looked up and saw him holding a bouquet of roses.
Some of the people cooed at how pretty the flowers were.
"Someone has caught an admirer." Someone said. Sarah blushed and took the flowers. She smelt them, there pleasant scent filling her nostrils. "It was probably my dad or someone in my family." She told them. She then looked at the security guard.
"Right?" She asked. He shrugged. "I don't think so. Family are allowed to come back and deliver flowers for only a moment. It looked like the guy who won the joust yesterday. He said you seemed really nervous so he wanted to perk you up some. He couldn't deliver them himself cause he didn't want to embarrass you." The security guy said.
Sarah froze hearing who it was from.
She put the flowers down and saw a card was in it. She picked it up and her blood froze as she read the note.
"For the Queen playing a princess."
She crumbled it up. "If you see him around me. Don't let him. He is a creep that won't leave me alone." She told the security. He frowned and nodded. "Of course. I will stick close by to make sure of it." He promised. She smiled and nodded.

Going with the other royal cast members, Sarah greeted people with her character's parents. Going around, she moved gracefully, and even danced some and hummed to the music being played around her.
She smiled as people took pictures of her.
"Give it up for our Princess. Maybe if we cheer loud enough, she will bless our harvest and seas with a song." Someone in the band announced. She blushed, though she knew it was part of her job here, she made a show of trying to hear the cheers.
When the cheers came, she nodded.
The band started a slow tune. Sarah cleared her throat a moment, but frozen seeing HIM. She jolted back as the music had to be restarted. She got down on a haybale and started singing.
"'Upon one summer's morning, I carefully did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seemed to be in pain
Saying William, when you go, I fear you will never return again
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
His hair it hangs in ringlets, his eyes as black as coal
My happiness attend him wherever he may go
From Tower Hill to Blackwall, I'll wander, weep and moan
All for my jolly sailor, until he sails home
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
My name it is Maria, a merchant's daughter fair
And I have left my parents and three thousand pounds a year
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor that ploughs the raging sea
While up aloft in storm, from me his absence mourn
And firmly pray, arrive the day, he's never more to roam
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold.'"
As she sang, some children came around and she smiled at them as she sang to them. They cheered for her song. And she went to get a mug of water. It was hot today. So, she will need to stay hydrated.
"Saraaahhhh."
Sarah jumped and dropped the mug. She turned around, looking around for HIM. It felt like HE was touching her. But it was brief. HE wasn't there. But she couldn't see HIM. But she heard HIM. She shook her head, and picked the mug up.
She took the mug back, and replaced it with a different one. She just blamed it on a bee allergy.
Sarah had to walk around when she found her character's parents to get pictures. Everyday. Nearly the same. But she liked it. It was a lot of fun.
She just hoped nothing would ruin it.
