Chapter 2
The morning started off as any other until around 10 a.m. A notice was sent to Miranda and Sofia that they were to report to the castle later that day. The
note stated that King Roland II needed to be fitted for a new pair of royal slippers and a small hint from his daughter, Princess Amber, was left on that note that
the King's favorite color was blue. When Sofia read the note, it made her wonder what it felt like to have a father but she quickly shook her head and focused on
the task at hand. Sofia was very excited to meet the king as she helped her mother make the royal slippers. When the work was all done Miranda and Sofia
packed, locked the shop, and headed for the castle to the King's scheduled shoe fitting. When they arrived at the palace, Sofia couldn't believe her eyes.
Everything was beautiful and amazing and Sofia pointed out everything she saw as they were shown the way toward the royal fitting room. Once there Sofia laid
out everything needed for the fitting and Miranda took out two beautiful blue slippers lined with an intricate gold design. She showed them to the King who
nodded in approval then proceeded to place them on his feet. They were a perfect fit and as Miranda looked up to see if the King liked his new royal slippers
their eyes meet. Both Miranda and the King swear they felt a spark ignite inside them and as Sofia looked up in innocent confusion they both thought
something. Could this be Love? As the King took Miranda's hand and helped her to raise, the thought of this being love became stronger and so he devised a
plan. That night Miranda took Sofia to her friend Jade's house for a sleepover with their other friend Ruby and was taken back to the castle by couch. The
King was waiting for her in the gazebo by the garden with a romantic candle light dinner under the moon and stars. They ate, talked and at the climax of the
dinner the King arose from his chair, walked over towards Miranda and did the most shocking thing of all. He, the King, got down on one knee, pulled out a
beautiful diamond ring, and said "Miranda, I felt a spark when our eyes met and believe you felt it as well. I haven't felt this way about anyone in a long time
and I don't want to lose this joyous feeling. I guess what I am trying to say is will you marry me?" Miranda gasped then with tears of joy in her eyes she gave
her answer "Yes. I would be honored to marry you."
