Chapter 26

The next morning when I got up could not help but still feel bad for saying no to B. about marrying her. I do hope my family will not be here long so that I can tell her yes I might not be able to wait until they leave and say yes while they are here. I do want them to meet her first then I will say yes that night I cannot wait much longer to marry her. I ate then went to the window and saw that it was raining so I decided to play the piano. As I played the song that I wrote for B. I could not help but think of her name Isabella it means beauty so I know she has to be beautiful and I do wish to be able to kiss her but I cannot kiss her while she is a beast. I hear the door open and a letter appears on the table next to me.

'Hey it's me Alice, I would like to talk to you and no I do not have multiple letters this time. So it might be a bit of time before I answer. So ask multiple questions and I have a few as well.

First question: what kind of cake do you like?

Next Question: what time of day do you like best for a party?

Next Question: when are you going to tell my sister to that you wrote a song for her?

I have more but I want those answered first. Ask your questions then tell me the answered to my questions.'

"Well I would like to know when I should tell her that it is hers and let her know that I know her name. I also have a few questions but I wish to ask them to my Father or one of my sisters. I like most cakes just not fig cake. I love parties' right as the sun is setting. And well that is most the questions I have," I tell her. I play the piano until I see a letter appear and I read it.

'Well thanks for the answers and I think you should tell her that it is for her at a party that will happen soon. I can understand why you wish to ask questions to your family and not me. Do not worry I am not insulted about that I thought you might want to talk to them just know this I will be listening to what you ask and say so I can plan the best party for you if the need be that is. So please answer these questions:

What do you want for a gift?

Do you have any favorite foods?

Any places you would like to see here in the palace that you have not seen.

What would you like to wear to a party say a wedding of a family member?

Is there anything that you would like to do here and is there anything you wish to know about my sister.

I forgot to tell you I let it slip that you know her name.'

"Well know that see knows that I know her name will she be okay with me calling her by her name. As for a gift I do not know I have most of what I want there is nothing to ask for. Favorite foods I like sweets and boiled eggs. As for a place to see I do not know is there anywhere with a great view that I have not seen yet? As for the outfit a suit that is not to over the top with velvet, lace, or silk, something that is simple yet fit for the occasion. What I want to do here well is there any secret passages to explore. As for what I want to know about B. well I do not know much about her. What do you want to tell me about her that is not too secret and she would not be mad at you for telling me for I do not want to come between you and her for the two of you are sisters." I tell her, and I start to play again and continue to play even after the letter appears since I do not like stopping in the middle of one of my favorite songs, when I finish a second letter had appeared.

'Well you are a good man and no there are no secret passages to explore that I know of so sorry. Who does not like sweets? And boiled eggs? How can you like boiled eggs? I know the perfect outfit for you then. There is a ton of things I can tell you about my sister that she would not mind you knowing.

She loved horses when she was human.

She loves to read.

She loves to hear the piano.

She loves sweet foods.

She hates being called Isabella so she had us call her Bella, Bell, or B. as you call her.

She would drive our Governess up the wall with her not liking the dresses they picked out for her, or because she did not like the lesson, they had picked to teach her.

She loves big dogs not the little lap dogs that I like but the ones that are used for hunting.

She loves to cook do not think just because she is a princess she does not know how to cook she wanted to know how for if the need be.

There is more but I think I will let you find for yourself.'

Alice is strange and I know she would get along with Amy, Maria, Alanna, and Ginny since they all like to be strange. The second letter said.

'That song is very beautiful and it is for my sister. Do not tell her it is until you have freed her from the spell. I know she would be glad to know to know it is for her but please wait for a well for her to be human.

I will leave now since you want to play the piano. Hey how about you go to the main piano so that B. will come and you can talk to her.'

As I read this, I noticed the door opened then shut and I knew that she was no longer in the room. I decided to do as see suggested and went to the main room with the piano.
