We sit at the table in silence eating are food until my Aunt starts to speak "so kenya has told you about the summer ball correct" "yes" "perfect next week there will a women named Salomé Côté is will make our ball gowns" stare there blankly"okay" I say unsure.
Its been a week since my aunt told me about Salomé Côté coming. I walk to the south side of the castle, I did take that guards advice and get a map it has made my life so much easier.
I walk into the room that Naomi told me to go to , The room is covered in fabrics, pencils, and needles. A small woman appears from behind a corner "hello,hello" she says with a french accent "Hey" "the queen is over there choosing one of the sketches I made for her, since I had no idea what you looked like I made many sketches for you." I see my aunt going through the drawing of dresses "Hello Lena, how are you today" " I'm fine thanks" " I think the warmer tones would go better with your fair skin, if you need help choosing let me know" "okay thank you Naomi." "How's the dress choosing going" "alright I am stuck between two choses, maybe you can help me" "of course" she has chosen between two dresses a baby blue one with sheer sleeves and a dark red one with black design on it. "um I don't really know, but the blue one is better for summer." "The blue one it is then" she says

"Now lets choose yours, just let me tell Salomé have chosen a dress." She walks away and I go over to the sketches for me. I look at the drawing and immediately put all the bright colors in a no pile.
I didn't think choosing a dress would take so long, but I have narrowed it down to five two of them chosen by Naomi. Salomé sits across from me staring all most to the point where it gets creepy. "I will come back tomorrow" Salomé demands " if you just give me a few more minutes" "I will be back tomorrow" she stands up and practically run to the door. "I think you scared my best designer" Naomi said "you think"
