The Bastard Queen ✔

XVI.

Katherine continue to work as Nathaniel’s personal maid while Kila and Evelyn tried to get rid of her. Katherine helped Ro with any problems, he had. Her sleeping schedule became abnormal as she left the mansion around twelve to three in the morning. Katherine would listen to everyone’s conversation to know if they were any news about Kana’s coronation.

“Marie, can you take this to the tailor.” Nathaniel asked, holding out a suit bag to Katherine

“Yes, but may I ask why?” Katherine asked, taking the bag

“Well, aren’t you a noisy maid.” Nathaniel said, a smirk appearing

“No! I- I just wanted to know why? The streets have been packed these past few weeks.” Katherine said

“Princess Kana’s coronation is in two days. That’s why I need my suit tailored and you need to get going.” Nathaniel said, Katherine nodded and left the room

Once Katherine was out of the office, her innocent face turned into anger as she clenched her fist. ‘I need to find a way to stop the ceremony.’ Katherine burst out in laughter as she thought of that. How could she stop the ceremony? She would be dead for treason. She left through the front door and began her walk to the tailor. She still doesn’t understand why she couldn’t take the car to the tailor. We’ll what could Katherine expect, Kila thinks of her maids as trash.

“Ah! If it isn’t Marie. Did Marquess Nathaniel bring you here for his suit?” Fabian asked, walking over to Katherine

“Marquess Nathaniel wanted his suit tailored.” Katherine said, handing Fabian the suit

“I will get on it. Here is the gown Marquess Nathaniel asked for.” Fabian said, walking behind the counter with the suit and placing a gown on the counter

“Marquess Nathaniel didn’t say anything about this.” Katherine said, confused

“Ah, he didn’t tell you. This gown is for you.” Fabian said, unzipping the bag holding the dress

“Me? How is this possible? I’m just a maid, who doesn’t deserve this.” Katherine said, surprised

“Marquess Nathaniel will want you to have this. I will get on with the suit and you can wait as usual or can go back with the dress.” Fabian said, leaving as Katherine stared at the dress

Her hands running down the dress. The fabrics soft and silky. The color of the dress a royal blue with beads engraving the sleeves and collar which captured Katherine’s gaze. It seemed there was a low cut in the front, which the beads are engraving the cut.

“Marie, you can try the dress, if you’ll like.” Fabian said, Katherine jumped and looked at Fabian, who was sewing the bottom of the pant legs

“Fabian, I don’t think I can.” Katherine said, zipping the dress back up

“Marie, I’m going to need you to try the dress on, so I can make alternation.” Fabian said

“Fine then.” Katherine said, walking into a dressing room

She stripped of her clothes, leaving her in her undergarments. She slipped into the dress after unzipping the back. She gasped at the sight of her. The dress fitted her, tight. The low cut, showing the edges of her breasts, going down, stopping above her navel.
