"You have grown to be such a beautiful young lady, and the prince has grown very fond of you my dear." My mother said while patting the chair decide her.
"Oh mother, I'm not yet old enough to have a husband and bear a child, I'm not yet sixteen." I said while sitting down.
"Now that's enough, I was engaged to be married at 14. Don't say such nonsense." She stood up from the chair.
"You're delusional mother." I
"I will not tolerate such behavior. Sylvia! " she screamed whilst opening her eyes wide.
"Yes madam?" She asked nervous,y rocking back and forth.
"Take Anastasia to her chambers. She need not have any breakfast."
" very well madam." And I followed Sylvia up the stairs toward the tower chambers.
"She is a time bomb waiting to explode." I groaned as I spread out across my sleeping place.
" a fowl owl, a" I was cut off by Sylivias gentle voice.
"That's quite enough from you, " she put her hands across her stomach," how about I take you for a picnic and feed the ducks?"
" Sylvia, I am nearly sixteen, I do not 'feed the ducks' honestly. You are dismissed." I say and sit and my dressing table to complete my hair.
Sylvia nodded and left.
I rang for Grace to come do my hair.
"Grace, would you hurry up. Your my servant not my chef, what's taking you so long?" I scowl in the mirror.
"I'm dreadfully sorry Miss Anastasia. King Elijah wanted his eggs."
"Now that, Grace. Is no my concern, is it?"
"No miss..I was just"
"That's enough" I tell her and use my hands to signify.
"Make it the best you've ever done, I need to look prestige for The Prince Of Whales." I tell her looking at her through the mirror.
She grasps her dainty little fingers around my silver brush and begins combing through my long, golden hair down to my thighs. She carefully braids it and clips it with a silver clasp and ribbon. She tightens my corset and applies cherries to my lips to make them sparkle.
"Dismissed." I tell her.
She nods and curtsies and leaves.
