Oh my god, How come no one ever told me that I had to share my room with Jake and Sebastian? I mean, the palace is huge, King Aldrum could have easily arranged three rooms, but no, they just had to torture me! I have to admit, this room is way bigger than my room back at my old house and so are the beds and...well... almost everything else.

I just talked to the boys, they both seem like nice people especially, Jake. He's 19 which would mean that he's just two years older than me, perfect and on top of that he's so attractive, I mean, you would practically die if you see his dark blue eyes and his blonde hair that just looks perfect on him. He was also constantly staring at me when I was in the throne room, so I think he might be interested in me. I guess he knows that I'm interested in him; by the way, I was constantly staring at him. I didn't know he was actually looking at me too cause I was too busy daydreaming to notice.

We would look perfect together; I have long black hair which is always curled and light blue eyes which match his dark blue eyes and he's taller than me so I guess you'd know why we would look fine together. His star sign is Scorpio and mine's Leo... they're the perfect match cause they get along just fine... so yay me!

Sebastian has dark brown curly hair and greenish eyes. He's so hilarious. He doesn't approve of the palace rules so he spends the entire time joking about it when I didn't even know there were rules! I just nodded like an idiot and faked a laugh here and there. We would be cute together but he's 16, and I only go for older guys and also because he's a Libra and Leo and Libras always end up fighting but I think he'll be a nice and funny person to be around.

When I woke up the next day it was around 10. I opened my eyes, and saw a brown hair, grey eyes girl dressed in black and white clothes staring back at me. I nearly fell out of bed.

"Forgive me Lady Ella, but you just looked so peaceful." She said delightedly.

"Um...thanks?" I asked her more than I stated.

"My name is Marilyn, and I'm your maid! I've worked here for over two years, and I'm here to dress you for the day! Now, come with me!" Marilyn said like she's some kind of fairy godmother.

I followed her to an enormous white room which was filled with such exquisite dresses. I wanted to try out all of them. I wore a blue and white colored dress. I think it looked nice but not too nice which was fine with me since I didn't want to attract any attention.

"Are you sure you want to wear this?" She asked as she tapped on her chin like she was deep thinking when I was looking at myself in the large golden mirror.

"Yes. It looks fine," I said and waited for her to nod in response but of course:

"I think a red dress would look ravishing on you since red would compliment your perfect white skin tone... seriously, what do you eat?"

"I still think this would be fine, I don't want to get that much attention to myself," I finally confessed.

"What! Why whatever is wrong with that? Who knows maybe you'll attract the attention of a handsome prince; I mean I would love to be a royal but if you want to wear this dress that's fine too... I guess."

Marilyn and I got along just fine. We were talking about King Aldrum's rude behavior towards Sebastian when she suddenly lowered her voice and said: "I want to forewarn you about something but don't tell the king that I told you cause it'll literally be off with my head."

"Of course, Maraline. I would never tell. Go on."

"The king might have told you about the machine, dutuxfrim, but he left out an important piece of information."

"And that is?" I asked, curiously.

She hesitated for a moment but then spoke.
"If the dutuxfrim fails to pull Caliginous out of the person who possesses it than it would take out the human organs instead, which would result in killing the person."
