Looks Can Deceive

Chapter 24

The drive to the castle seems much shorter than when Hanna and I walked. I have only been gone for 30 minutes and I already miss Hanna so much. I will call her tomorrow, or when I have time. She says she knows the reason I got picked, out of every other girl. I have to know. She will tell me, I'm sure. If she doesn't I could just ask my fiancé.

Fiancé is a terrifying thought. What is worse is the thought of being the queen. I'm not sure I am ready for this. I guess I have to be. I have 2 months to learn the art of being royalty before I am. I'm a fast learner, so that's good.

Finally the car pulls up to the gate. Hundreds of people are surrounding the door. All want a look at their new leader. A guard gets out to clear the crowd.

He yells and the crowd leaves.

"You're not camera ready yet" Mitch says "Not that you don't look great."

"Nice save." I respond

He laughs and the car starts moving again.

For the first time I can really see the castle. It is so large. I have never seen a building so massive. The castle is white. To cap off the tall towers there is blue roofing. At the top of the tallest tower there is a gold flag that waves in the cool air.

"This way Ms. Polan." A guard leads me through the large oak wood doors.

The first thing I see is a large marble fountain. Water spouts out of the top and rushes down to the bottom. The room is red with large paintings hanging high on the walls. Behind the fountain is a large marble staircase. Covering the stairs is a red carpet.

Mitch leads me up the stairs. The ceilings are so high. There are pictures hanging on the wall. The hall leads far down. The red carpet is covering the middle of the floor.

"This is your room." Mitch says opening the second door on the left.

I walk in and see a huge pink room. The king sized bed is up on top 3 stairs. There is a vanity next on the wall across from the bed. This is the biggest room I have ever seen.

"This will be your room till we get married then we will share." Mitch says "The bathroom and closet are through that door. Someone will come and get you at 7:00 for break fest be ready, clothes will be waiting for you."

I nod and he leaves. This room is alot different then the room at the school. I miss Hanna  a lot, I wish she was with me. I will call her tomorrow.

I walk to the bathroom. It is huge, and clean. A shower in the corner and a huge marble tub in the other. A huge counter with all the soaps you could ever need.

I turn on the shower, and step in. The water is actually warm, unlike the water at the school bathroom. I stand in the shower for 10 minutes before I actually use the soaps and scrubs. I step out and go to the closet for pajamas.

I open the closet door and there are so many clothes. Any outfit you could think of. Any dress or material. I just want some shorts and a shirt. But all I see is dresses and nightgowns. I grab a light blue nightgown and put it on.

I go back into the main room. Brush my hair into a ponytail. Can you imagine. A blonde girl in charge of a brunette world? Crazy.

I climb into the bed to get some sleep before my crazy day tomorrow.

"Ms. Polan you must be at the dining room in 45 minutes"

I mumble an okay. This bed is so comfy. I don't want to leave it. I pull myself out of the fluffy blankets and walk to the bathroom .
I clean my face and go to the vanity. An outfit is laying out for me. A pink floral dress that has a brown belt and a pair of 2 inch pink heels. I put it on and do a quick dusting of makeup.
