Once again, late. I dashed through the village to the shop (almost getting trampled over by a horse and cart). As the shop came into view, I steadied my pace.
Suddenly, I saw a royal guard walk out of the shop. Was I in trouble? Did the prince not like the cape and returned it? Gods, grandma Jackie is gonna rip my ear off..
I enter the shop, panting heavily.
"Grandma Jackie," I managed between heavily gasps. "Why was the kings guard here?". I could hear my heartbeat in my ears as I anxiously waited for her answer.
Her expression shifted to one of excitement, her sun wrinkles around her eyes deepening (she smiled A LOT). She took a sip of her peppermint tea. "you have an invitation to the ball. It's next Friday, on the summer solstice."
My heart basically stopped. I, a commoner, had been invited to a royal ball. "Really? You're not pulling my leg, are you?". Just by her smile I could tell she was serious about it.
A few hours later, I had finished sketching my outfit.
