"YUKI", a voice said while falling down the last step of the stairs
"Elle, are you ok?", I said laughing quietly
"Yeah it's only a little scar, plus it's not the first time I've fallen, and you fall all the time", she said smiling
"Yeah but I haven't fallen in a while, so you can't blame me for being clumsy all the time anymore", I said laughing
"Your mom wants you to try on your new ball gown for tomorrow's wedding ball", she said
"Wedding ball", I said confused
"Yeah, your mom fixed up a whole ball for you. She invited all the boys your age or a little older to come and meet you. One special guy will get the chance to be the next King. How exciting!", she said
"Not for me. I don't want to get engaged at 16!", I yelled out
"But it's tradition. Every girl in our family has to get engaged at the age of 16", she said
"I know but I like someone else", I said
"Maybe he'll be there", she said
"But he's not a prince", I sad with a frown
"How do you know, maybe he is and he's keeping it a secret. Like you did", she said
"But people found out about me", I said
"Probably because you can't keep your own secrets", she said laughing while she ran up the stairs and closed the bedroom door
"Hmm, she has a point", I whispered to myself while walking to the front door.
