Chapter 15

Lexi couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had always thought that Carolina was her best friend, but now she couldn't bear to look at her. She stayed silent the whole time Carolina helped her get ready. By the end, she was wearing a pale pink satin dress gown with lace lining it and it was topped by a silver diamond studded tiara. Once she was done, she got up and frowned at Carolina, and left her room. She went outside and went to a small shed outside. She saw a little trunk and looked through it. Then she finally she found a satin white suit next to a matching dress. She picked up the suit and ran to the little hole where Ace was waiting, and gave him the suit.

Lexi: Here. You can wear this.

Ace: Thanks Lex. You alright?

Lexi: Carolina is going to marry my father and I am-

Carolina: Alexandria! Come here now!

Lexi: I have to go now. Hurry change and meet in front of the palace. Come through here. I'll see you in a few minutes.

Lexi ran off and Ace did as she said. When he found Lexi, she was exactly where she had said she'd be. For a second she was stunned.

Lexi: Wow! You clean up good.

Ace: Thanks. So do you. (Remember he only saw her dressed as a peasant.)

Suddenly Carolina ran up to them.

Carolina: Alexandria, come quick. It's almost time to announce your engagement.

Aces' heart broke at that. How could she not tell her that she was engaged?
