Hiding Beauty

The Royal Family Part Two

After I was done analyzing all of the people I was to be chosen from, the royal family walked in. The king looked similar to every other forty year old man in our society. He had a square face, brown eyes, and black hair. He had on a navy blue suit jacket, white shirt, grey dress pants, and a blue and yellow tie.

The queen, however looked nothing like every other forty year old woman in our society. She had deep blue eyes, high cheekbones, beautiful golden wavy hair, and a perfect body. She had on a navy blue ball gown, with a grey sash draped over her shoulders.

The prince, oh he was lovely on the eyes. He had a nice build, and was very muscular. He had his mother's face, eyes, and hair. But he had the same stance and attitude as his father. He was wearing something similar to his father but instead of blue he was wearing red. I could tell by the way the king looked at his son's attire and appearance, he approved.

As soon as I saw the prince I suddenly realized that he was never going to choose me and I was going to endanger me and my family once again when I left. I was in a simple gown and most of the girls where in elaborate dresses. I had normal makeup and most of the girls had little make up while the others were wearing a lot of makeup. I suddenly felt terrible and not good enough to be here, and that I didn't fit in here.

I looked back over at the royal family and they were all looking around the room, sizing us up before dinner and before they met us. The queen stopped when she looked at me, I curtsied slightly not to bring attention to the fact she was staring at me. She then nudged her husband and while still looking at me talked to him, then he turned to look at me, I, again, curtsied. The the king started talking to the prince as the queen had but he seemed slightly happier, then the prince turned to look at me. I slowly curtsied because it seemed as soon as his eyes met mine I felt as if the world was slowing down.

Since all of the girls who were in the room were also looking at the royal family, they noticed that they were looking at me, turned to look at me as well. Brittany was looking at me as though she might ring my neck any second for taking attention away from her, and Rachel was looking at me as if I was the most amazing person in the world because I had already caught the eye of the royal family. If she only knew the real reason. I will tell her soon in case she gets asked to leave.

Finally the royal family realized that everyone was staring at me and called over a servant and talked to that servant for a minute and sent her to one of the girls. They did this to sevral sevrants until I was finally given a servant.

"Ladies, I know you were expecting to eat here in the dining room for dinner but I feel that you should get antiquated with your servants. So you will be having dinner in your rooms tonight. The servants that you have with you right now is one of two of your servants they are to help you while you stay here. They will show you to your rooms. Thank you ladies, that is all." The king sure knows how to make a short announcement. I was very grateful for that being so short because that meant that I din't have to have all eyes on me during dinner, and I could talk to Rachel soon.

As we were leaving I told Rachel to ask her servants where my room was after she was done eating so she could come to my room. She said she would and I was very nervous, I was not going to tell her my secret but I had never had a real friend before because of my secret. I hope after she knew my secret she would not look at me differently, I knew, however, that she would. Everyone always did.

Many of the people I told my secret where the reason I was here. They always told their family and their family found the person who was after me and told him where I was. They never truly understood my dilemma, not many ever did. That was why not many people knew of why I moved so often, I never tell people how often I move because then they would ask questions and i would have to tell them.

I would have to tell them that my twin sister had fallen in love with a man but the man's father did not approve. Then she died later of cholera, but the man's father was convinced that was a hoax and I was my sister and he has been trying to kill me. But he was also trying to kill me because there had been a robbery at my family's home and his youngest daughter was there and she was killed. He had always thought we had it out for their family after that. So when my sister fell in love with his son he did not approve and wanted us gone, even if he had to kill us himself. He had managed to kill my grandfather because he had ran into him at the market. He almost killed my mother, he would have if it weren't for my father.
