I woke the next morning to Jessica coming into my room; she was another one of my ladies in waiting. "Good morning Princess Isabella" she said curtsying.
"Good morning Lady Jessica do you bring me news?" She nodded and I waved her over to my bed. "Pray tell?" I said as she sat by my side. Not many people were allowed to see the princess in
her nightgown only the princess's maids and her ladies in waiting. "There is a new man at court, his name is Edward Masen, and he is an explorer from the new world." I gasped and took
Jessica's hand I had heard about some of theses explorers some were more than beggars. "Jessica, please do be careful when you're around him, he might be dangerous." She nodded and I gave
her my leave. As she was exiting the room my maids came in. "Good morning your Royal Highness." They said while curtsying. "Good morning" I was in a good mood this morning and even
through he is not a high quality man I still want to meet the infamous Edward Mason. Once again my maids dressed me. I chose a nearly white dress with off the shoulder sleeves; the dress had
many layers and had black spots on the top layer. I had a white shawl made of the same fabric and white shoes but you couldn't see them because of the long dress. My hair was in a elegant
plate with mother of pear flowers in it. My face once again was powdered white but my lips were painted a light pink and my eyes weren't as dark. Beth handed me my fan and I wore diamonds
with the dress. I was ready!
My maids left and my Ladies all arrived at the door. They were all dressed in white like I had told them to do, there were lady Jessica, Lady Angela, Lady Rosaline Lady Lauren and Lady Leah.
They all curtseyed. "Good morning." I said looping my arm through Angela's "I have important people to meet." I winked at Jessica and we walked down to the grand hall. The announcer
silenced everyone before we entered then said. "Presenting her royal highness Princess Isabella Marie Swan and her Ladies in waiting." He bowed and we walked through. As we walked people
bowed and curtseyed to me then my ladies. Greeting people was always one of the Princesses duties and I loved it.
"May I please present Lord and Lady Cullen." Said the announcer as a man and woman walked through the door, I had known Esme and Carlisle since forever and loved them to. "What joy
Esme and Carlisle what brings to here?" Carlisle bowed and Esme curtseyed then Carlisle said "We have some news, and we would like you your royal highness to here it first." He looked at his
wife who nodded at him to continue, "My wife is pregnant!" He said looking proud.
"Oh my congratulations!" I said I got up off my chair and took Esme's hands in mine then kissed them, this was a great form of respect for a princess to go that to a lady. "Your child boy or girl
will have my blessing!" I said and walked back to my thrown. "Please do stay here for a short time, as I know my parents will want to here the news for your own lips." They nodded and sat to
the left of me.
I continued greeting people till there was only one left. "May I please present Mr. Edward Masen an explorer of the new world!" And that's when I saw him
EPOV
I have fought pirates, I have guided ships through storms but nothing not one of those experiences compared to how I felt now. I was about to meet Princess Isabella Swan and I was scared to
death. I hear a man say, "May I please present Mr. Edward Masen an explorer of the new world." To the Princess, that was my queue. I walked through the doors and saw her. She was
beautiful, not just her clothes but also her face, and her deep chocolate eyes. Once I got to her I bowed like I had been taught and waited for her to tell me to rise. "Good morning Mr. Masen
please rise." Her voice was like sugar, a new good I had found in the new world. As I stood she smiled at me and I felt blessed. "When they said to me, that the Princess was a beautiful lady they
were wrong, because before me I see a beautiful angle." She giggled at my comment but her smile got bigger flattery it was, but it was true she was beautiful. "So Mr. Masen What brings you to
my Fathers court?" She asked a smile still playing on her lips
"I wanted to bring your majesty a gift, from the new world."

I wonder what he brought me, something beautiful I hope. He reached in to his bag and pulled out what looked like a rock. "This Princess, is a potato!"
"A what?" I questioned
"A potato, you eat it" I motioned to Lady Lauren to get it. "Try it." I said to her. She bit in to it then look disgusted but managed to swallow it. She started to look a little green the swayed a bit
on the stop one of the gentlemen help her out of the room "Well Mr. Masen you have managed to make one of my Ladies sick, I think we shall leave now." And I rose Hiding my giggle behind
my fan. "Your royal highness may I stay at court awhile?" He shouted after me something that is not done. "Do as you please Mr. Masen but keep you potatoes to your self." I answered. And
the people laughed.
I dinned with my parents and retired to my room, I may be a spoiled princess but I do like to know what's going on. I called in Lady Angela who helped me take off the heavy dress. "
She got out a big white dress similar to what the local girls wore. It had white folds down making it look very beautiful, it did up at the front and went up to my neck a had an orange belt around
my waist and I took off all my Jewry. I felt next to naked without any jewels, but I didn't want to be recognised. Angela gave me a white scarf that I rapped around my head, after I put on much
less white powder you could barley recognise me! "If anyone asks where I am say I am at prays ok?" I asked Angela and swept out of the room.
I past maids, servants, Lords and Dukes and not one of then noticed me, and it annoyed me slightly, but that cannot be helped I wanted to see Alice so I had with me one of my corsets that
was broken and needed fixing so I had an excuse. Knocking on the door I opened it slightly, when I was in this clothing I was know as Bella named after Isabella but her family were not of very
high statues but Princess Isabella like her company so I often same to the palace, well that was the cover story anyway. "Hello Bella it's been along time hasn't it!" said Heidi the head
seamstress I nodded Bella was very shy and barley talked. "What's that ah a broken corset, have that fixed in no time, why don't you go talk to Alice she's new here and could do with some
help" I nodded and walked into the back room. "Hello? Alice?" I asked making my voice different to Isabella's.
"Hello, you must be Bella, I'm Alice" Said the short hair girl coming out of the mist. "I love your dress it's beautiful." Alice said. "Thank you" I said blushing, I as a princess normally blush but
because of the makeup you can't tell. "You're a friend of the Princess right?" I nodded. "She saved me, you know, there I was just walking along when a horrid boy starts beating me up, later I
realized that he is Jacob Black my mothers friends son so I was confused, why would he attack me? He can't hear or talk so there's no use asking him, but I whish I was told why" She could talk
a lot.
"I'm sorry Alice, but I must go now, the princess wanted me to read with her, I might come and visit again. Bye" I said walking out the room. Heidi gave me back the corset fixed. "Than you" I
said walking out the room.
I raced back to my bedchamber. "Princess Isabella, you need to change your parents want to talk to you about something it's important" Angela helped me in to a beautiful blue dress which had
long sleeves and a full skirt there were flowers on the fabric. She then called all my maids in to redo my hair and make up. Then I was ready. Rosaline appeared and the three of us Angela as
well walked towards the great hall arm in arm. "Presenting her royal highness Princess Isabella Marie Swan, Lady Rosaline and Lady Angela." The anouncer bowed as we past, at the end of the
room sat my mother and farther. "Mother, farther." I said curtsying to them. My mother said, "Lady Rosaline and Lady Angela please leave us." They curtsied and left. "Isabella join us." My
mother said and I went and sat by her. "Isabella you are now 17 we fell it is time for you to marry" My farther said, I was so happy I couldn't wait. "Isabella you shall choose from the suitors I
present to you there is going to be a grand ball in four days were we shall announce the wedding dates. I was shocked; I get to choose out of my Mother and fathers choices. "Thank you
mother, farther." I said bowing my head. My farther nodded to the announcer who banged his stick "May I please present Lord Emmet McCarty, Jasper Hale the Duke of Courtside and Lord
Samuel Uley" The three men all walked into the room and bowed lower before us. My farther spoke "My daughter must choose one of you to marry before Sunday the day of the ball." He and
my mother left the room and I was alone with my suitors.
"Princess Isabella you are so very beautiful, that the world does not do you justice, will you please take a stroll with me?" Asked Jasper. I moved over to him and placed my arm on his "I would
be delighted, Jasper." I said before letting him lead me out of the room. This was going to be fun!
