Second Chance

chapter 6

"greetings miss Jennette" the well known tailor Arthur Welton bowed to the young mistress politely.

"i-its a pleasure to meet you sir!" Jennette stuttered out and followed pursuit with a bow of her head.

The tailor smiled "is it alright if we start on your measurements my lady" he asked. Jennette nodded "a-alright!" She said in agreement.

The maids that were standing aside helped her out of the dress that she was wearing to reveal her white underdress and one of the maids quickly put her long hair up in a neat bun.

the tailor  held out his hand to Jennette and helped her up onto the small wooden platform where she was turned to face 3 large mirrors.

Jennette blushed out of shyness as the young tailor raised her arms up so that he could take the measurements of her tiny waist, she stood still as she distracted herself by looking at her reflection.

The small girl took notice of the markings that framed both her upper arms and circled around to lead to her back. Her back held more gold markings and the occasional white markings along with them which she discovered a year ago after she had gotten out of a bath.

Apparently from what she heard from Amelia, almost all imperial family members have them and come in an array of different shapes and colours based on their auras.

Jennette nibbled at her lip at the thought of people looking at her markings as a wave on shyness came over her for some strange reason.

But luckily sir Welton was very respectful and understanding and did not stare or bring it up.

"I've have heard that it does not snow here in Altion, am I right to assume that you have never seen snow before young miss?" The tailor asked curiously.

Jennettes eyes widened "mm!, Jettie has never seen snow before" she smiled, not even in her past life had she seen snow before. "I-Ive only ever seen pictures of it in books" she said, making the tailor chuckled.

"well when you arrive all the way up into the kingdom winter will about a month away" he said as he moved to take the measurements of here arms and chest.

Jennettes eyes sparkled in excitement at the thought.

A few hours later

"ok we are all done" He said as he reached his hand out to help Jennette down from the wooden platform.

The maids helped her back into her dress while sir Welton began talking to Nana who had just arrived.

She put her shoes on that she had taken off before she stepped into the room, and listened to the conversation that Nana was having with the tailor. "Yes, it will be done by the end of this week or so" the tailor said "great, thankyou very much. I'll be by to pick it up" Nana said .

The tailor smiled and bowed to Nana and turned to Jennette to do the same. "It was very lovely to meet you young miss" he said holding out his hand
In wait of Jennette to take it.

Jennette carefully reached out her hand and smiled shyly as she made eye contact with the man, she shook his hand "you to sir Welton!" she gave him a close eyed smiled.

And with that the tailor was off to go and work on the dress, Jennette waved him goodbye and started to walk to her room.

On her way to her room Jennette stopped in at the library to grab a book that had been on her mind lately.

She and her little child legs waddled her way into the library in search of the book, it took her a while but she did eventually find it and unluckily for her small self it was on the second top shelf one of the book shelves.
