*Author POV*( I deeply apologize to whoever is seeing this but please the chapters are a little mixed up from chapter 7 but I hope you can manage🥰😊)

The morning light trickles in  from the window and cast a ray on Wilhelmina 's(Katerina )face.
She stirred, waking from her slumber, shifting, turning, shivering from the morning breeze.
She reached for a shawl,draping it on her self.
She rubbed her face in and sat up.

*Katerina pov*

"Oh my days...my back hurts,when the fuck did my bed get so hard ? "

*Author POV*

She asked no one in particular as she opened her eyes taking in the scene before her...

*Katerina pov*

"What the actual fuck?!... How did I get here?!, where is this place?! "

*Author POV*

She asked as she exclaimed loudly to no one in particular waking her maids.

"Your highness,why do you scream so early this morning, is something the matter ?"

A sleepy short woman came up to her from the dark causing her to scream again.

"Ahhhhhh!!"

"Calm down , it's me Olga your highness."
She explained in an attempt to get Wilhelmina (Katerina)to call down.

*Katerina pov*

"Who are you and why did you scare me like that?"

" It is I Olga, your servant. "

" I don't know you."
" I hired a servant since when?"
" I can't afford it."

" We were assigned to you by your father when you first came to the palace."
The lady replied

" We?"
I was slightly confused.

" Yes Katya and I, she is right over there let me just wake her up she sleeps like the dead. "

I turn to my right to see where she pointed to,I find the silhouette of a rather young and slightly tall but pretty girl.

" KATYA! Wake up you sleepyhead! "

" I'm up , I'm up Olga."

" Well wake up quicker,her highness wishes to see you."

The girl bolted up from her mattress on the floor and ran towards me bowing deeply.

I'm very sorry for the delay your highness, I slept too deeply.

"It's all right, I wish to get ready for today."
I say, playing into the character not wanting to change suspicion.

They approached me and led me to a closet-like enclosure with a bunch of smelly clothes.

"What is that stench?"
I asked slightly irritated.

" Oh it is the stench of your clothes ."

" Do I have any new and unworn dresses ?"
