I awoke to the sound of my maid lily preparing my gown for the day which was a gorgeous hand painted Robe a la Francaise covered in flowers and as I got up she greeted me with "Good morning your royal highness" thats right I am one of the princesses of England in fact i am the eldest of us 6.
Lily helped me put on this amazing french style court dress and then she fixed my hair into a half up half down with a white detail.
Anthony my butler walks in to my room and bows "oh Anthony get up you know I hate people bowing or curtsying towards me". "oh sorry milady your mother asked for you in her sitting room" I smile "thank you for telling me Anthony can you please tell her I will be there in a minute" he nods his head and leaves and lily asks "anything else milady" I look at myself in the mirror "yes lily can you please get my sapphire and diamond matching set" I turn around to look at her "of course milady" and hurries out the room to get my earrings while I wonder in the mirror what my mother would want me for? lily rushes in with a red velvet box "thank you lily that is all when you put on the necklace you can leave" she nods and puts my necklace on and leaves. While I put on my earrings i think about when mother is going to find me a good husband because I am now 18 and it is time I appear for my first season but I cannot marry a viscount or a duke that is way to below me.

As I walk into my mothers sitting room I hear the Guard say my name and my mother responds with "excellent" I walk in with a graceful walk and my mother motions for me to sit on the sofa next to her love seat I ask politely "what is it mother?' she looks at the servants in the room motions her maid over and whispers to her to get the servants in the room and Rose my mothers maid gets all of them out of the room and down the servants staircase so they cannot listen. Then my mother looks over to me and says " i received a letter from the Emperor of Russia" I looked at her after petting Camille my mothers Pomeranian and she continued "He would like to marry our eldest daughter to him to finish our alliance and make it stronger and of course you are the eldest and are at marrying age so I wanted to let you know before we respond. "I look at her with disbelief and respond to her and say "have I ever met this man" she nods her head "you two used to play together when you little he is 19 and you are 18 so pretty similar age" i suddenly remembered something "isn't he married to that Catherine lady" Mother looked at me and replied with "she died of small pox a month ago" and before I knew it I was in a carriage on the way to Russia with my mother and 5 sisters and all my brothers in other carriages.
