I was almost asleep when suddenly the mirror opened and Anne entered the little chamber. She had a wonderfull dress out of blue and silver, a mask and to my surprise a crown with her. Wouldn't it be conspicuous if I wore a crown to the ball? But later I adepted that many people wore a crown like this. The only difference was that mine was real. They would think I was a gentlewoman, because my dress was one of the more beautiful ones. "This one was the most ordinary dress I found in your wardrobe.", Anne said innocently. I had a wardrobe? I should learn more about myself some time.
I wore the wonderful dress and styled my hair in a way my mom had worn it in my dream. To finish I put on the tiara. I loked like a princess not like a gentlewoman or even a wench. I hoped none would notice this. Anne said she'd be there if anything happened. A little bit unsure I went to the ballroom and as I stood in front of a big door I thought about going back but decided against it. I pushed the door open and found myself in the big hall. Everyone went silent. I damned this dress in my thoughts but in reality I just walked on undeterred. As the music finally went on, a young man came in my direction. He was about 20 years old. I didn't know exactly, because he had a mask on. He asked me for a dance and I agreed. While we danced I had to look to Mr. Robert for several times. How could anyone be that nasty? My mother had to sit in a dungeon while he was sitting on his throne and enjoyed himself. As the dance was over the young man asked me if I was one of the princesses who came from other places. I thought about what to say for a moment but finally just said yes. I looked into his eyes for the first time and realised how amazing they were. It was quite an effort to look away. Before I could go he praised my dancing. My dancing? I didn't even know that I was that good at dancing. I really had to ask Anne about it. I noticed as well that my mother had said I didn't know how to behave in a place like this. Wouldn't that mean I at least knew a bit? I wasn't given much time to think , because then Mr. Robert stood in front of me!
