Royally Simple

Chapter 1: I Am Not The Early Bird

"Natalia!" Why did we hire him? "Natalia!"

"William! I'm awake! Quit hollering"

"You should have been out of bed twenty minutes ago! If you are late to Ms. Caprinis class one more time, that woman is going to kill you! "

"Last time I checked it was illegal to kill a member of the Royal Family." I snickered. William wacks me over the head with a pillow. "You know what I meant. Lisa will be here to do your hair and make up any minute" He checks his watch. "That girl is always late!" I scoot over to the edge of my bed. "Wanna get your hair done with me?" I smile. He spins around. And more using my pillow as a weapon. "You know the bald jokes are getting kind of old"

"Never." I laugh. William stops smiling."Natalia please get ready. Please."

"Fine. Im up. Im up."

"You have fifteen minutes or Im sending in Tesla."

"Ugh not Tesla. That mean old cook need not come anywhere near me!"

"Oh be nice. She only has a few more days before she is replaced."

"Im not trying to be mean but come on. What kind of monster refuses to keep chocolate ice cream in the kitchen! Its the royal kitchen for Petes sake!"

"No more whining! Fifteen! or Tesla and her rolling pin will be here!"

"Okay! Okay!" I whined

"I'll be back. Im going to make sure your father's breakfst is ready. See you in a bit" He winked. I hopped out of bed and ran to the closet. my beautiful crystal double doors greeted me as I ran quickly to pick out a dress. Bella Luna is quite formal. Especially for the Royal family. Men wear suits and ties. Women wear dresses from summer dresses to elaborate ball gowns. The higher your status, the more elaborate your gowns.

Today I chose something extra formal. Ms. Caprini is all for the big gowns so maybe it will lighten her mood a little. I hope so. This particular dress was bought for the Spring Ball last year. It was beautiful cream color with gold lace swirled up the bodice and at the bottom of the bell skirt.The sweetheart necklace actually gave the illusion that I had some boobs.

Looking in the mirror I studied myself. I guess I'm pretty enough. most girls have deep brown chocolate hair. Mine was mud brown. Well was. Lisa dyed my hair blonde and it had made all the difference. I went from a 5 to a 7 in my eyes. The people of Bella Luna called me beautiful, stunning, and gorgeous. I wonder what they would think about me without the hair, make up, dresses, and most of all, the power. "AAAAGH!!!" I jumped three feet in the air "What did you do to your hair Nat!?!"

"Lisa you scared the shit out of me!" I screamed. She gasped, "Nat if William hears you talk like that he will have a heart attack!"

"Oh calm down hes not even here. hes perfecting my dad's breakfast. And you can swear why can't I?"

"Because youre a princess thats why." I watch as her focus quickly changes to my hair "I have five minutes to curl this! and it looks like a rats nest!"

"Just leave it. I'll comb it out on the way to class."

"Over my dead body" Lisa shrieked, "Ms. Caprini would have me fired in a heartbeat. You know your dad listens to whatever she says! Nat you need to start sleeping sitting up! I cant deal with this"

"Oh yeah thats a great idea Lisa" I said as I rolled my eyes. "Sit in the chair." she sighed. I walked past my shoes and into the hair and into the hair and make up part of my closet. I sat down in front of my vanity and flinched when i saw her approach me with a comb. She quickly ripped the comb through my hair with three minutes to spare. Then pulled it back into a tight bun and curled a few strands of hair to frame my hair. "Thats as good as its getting. You better run." I smiled and pulled off my heels as i sprinted out of my room. "Good luck!" I heard Lisa yell as the door swang shut and I sprinted with my fingers crossed. Please let Ms. Caprini understand.
