After 16 years living in this earth without dad is not always easy. I did ever asked my mom what had happened to my father. She said that he's dead. I'm not really satisfied with the answer I don't really believe with that. For my whole life, I've been secretely searching for my dad without my mom knowing this. Maybe if she knows she will kill me exactly right at that time. Although I haven't found my dad yet, I believe one day I will find him soon. Because in this life, fate choose us not we who choose fate.

"Anna," someone called me.

I turned my head back and saw Prince Archie standing in front of the kitchen's door. He is a guy who always succeded in making girls pleased. His blue eyes always drowned me into a dream which I know won't come true. Oh my God. How could it be a perfect guy like him?

"Anna," he called me for the second time.

"Oh no! I was dreaming again!" I said with a low voice.

"Sorry?" he asked.

"Oh uh, I mean how can I help you?" i answered.

"Yeah, my dad wants you to prepare for the party." He gave me an order.

"Sure!" I replied.

"And don't forget dad's favorite ten layers cocoa cake," he added.

"Okay!"

As I started to work, my mom walked into the kitchen and help me to prepare.

"Any special request?" she asked.

"Yeah, as usual King's favorite cake," I answered.

"Wew, let me guess, ten layers cocoa cake?" she guessed.

"Yup, exactly right," I answered.

"Gonna be another busy day I guess." Mom said.

Today is the King's birthday. This year is my fifth experience of making his birthday cake. The first one was really really bad. Untill mom made another one and that cake saved the day. Me and my mom as usual, only get a part in baking the cake. You know our cake is so popular in this kingdom. For me, it's not that hard for me to bake a cake, it just takes lots of time. So me and my mom always start first before the other maid start to cook the appetizer, main course, and dessert.

Six hours later, the castle has started to be crowded. This year, the king has invited about five thousand people to his newly decorated ballroom. He always renovate his ballroom every five years, whether changing the floor tiles or the wallpaper. For his birthday party, he has redecorated the ballroom with purple theme which is the queen's favorite color. The decoration look classic but warm. This absolutely looks stunning.

The maids has started to bring the foods to the ballroom but not the cake. Cake is always the last part of the party here. When I entered the room, I could see the guests were chatting happily and holding a glass of champagne in their hand. This ballroom is extremely crowded.

The best part of the kingdom's party for me is looking at the dresses which the guests wear. Most of them are in soft blue with pink stripes and white laces on the sleeves. Cute dresses. Wish I have one one day.

The party will start soon so all the maids were asked to leave the ballroom. When I was walking leaving the ballroom, Suddenly I tripped of my own skirt and fell down. I was prepared to feel the hurt and shame but, I didn't feel it. What I am feeling is someone holding my hand and body so tightly to make me not fall. I opened my eyes slowly and OH MY GOSH! It was Prince Archie! OMG OMG! What should I do? I was so confused till I quickly stood up and apologize. Then I quickly ran out from the ballroom.
