When someone lives in Estella you know that they are extremely rich. Mostly because the palace is in plain sight. Living by royalty is a honor to most people but not for Gisselle Delafontaine. Gisselle finds it rather bothersome specifically because...
After yesterdays event I went to sleep peacefully for once. I was actually very happy when I woke up because today is the picking and there could only be one reason to be happy for it. Elizabeth in leaving and I won't have to see her for 2 months and if she becomes the princes wife I won't ever see her again, besides at her wedding.
I would feel bad if he chose her because she is evil and only cares for herself and she could potentially destroy Estella. I don't know the prince I have only seen his face once and that was only when he was 10. After he turned 11-years-old no one really saw him anymore.
Me and him are about the same age he is probably about two years older than me, making him about 27. Still pretty young. I just hope he isn't a push over just in case he does pick Elizabeth. Now I sorta of want him to pick someone else. No matter how much I hate her, It would be horrible for her to rule over a country when she is so selfish. I just shrug.
I quickly get up and run to the bath that beverely set for me. I told her I would do it but she refused this is why I love her. I rapidly take me nightgown off because I sorta of woke up late. when I step in the bath I moan in delight It was deliciously warm. All my muscles untense when I full imerge in the bubbly bath.
after relaxing a bit in the tub I totally forgot I was late and start scrubing all over my body. I make sure to not get my hair wet since I have to do my hair afterwards. I scrub until my whole body is red and burning. Maybe I went a little to far with washing myself.
Once I am done I get a towel to dry my body and then put my robe on. I walk in my room to see my maids getting my dress ready for me.
" My lady come her and please put these undergarments on it well help you be comfortable in the dress." I throw my robe of and put them on. I was use to being naked in front of my maids. when ever I had to wear my fancy dresses I needed help putting them on just like every other girl in Estella.
The dress was red with gold designs on the bodice and bottom of the dress. It was a white long white meshed sleeve. with little red roses designed on the shoulders. It was a wide ball gown that was absolutely gorgeous.

I need three people to help in the dress. It was very wide and long. I am so happy they knew my measurements to the T because the dress fit me like a glove. With corset underneath my waist looked tinier the usual. I loved that the dress was red because it was such a contrast to my black hair, and tan skin. It made my dark blue eyes pop as well.
I put my gold heals quickly and ran to Dona Blanca she was a family friend and really well known makeup/hairstylist. She was to help me put my dark black hair into a beautiful braid chignon. Her assistants helped to put my make up on. They applied many products that I never knew existed.
while they were fixing my hair and makeup and start to ponder why in the world am I going all out on my appearance. Every other event I never went crazy like I am now on my appearance. I guess this is a very important event because one of those ten girls is going to become our queen. The event is also at the castles so we could potentially be meeting the prince and king. Then there is the fact that I come from a very influential family. I guess I am worrying over nothing and what could I be worried about anyway.
After about 30 minute more of pampering I was ready and deeply surprised of how beautiful I looked. All the my maid were who were waiting outside my door came stumbling in only to be gob smacked. There jaws dropping. Beverly was the first to speak.
" Gisselle you look- marvelous. You are always gorgeous, but today you look beyond gorgeous." she said hugging me. Her gentle hand took ahold of mine and she kissed them and moved out of the way so the others could talk to me.
After the many compliments and my cheeks could do anymore blushing. Beverly soon yelled for everyone to help me get my self out of room. Two of my maid helped me downstairs to my waiting parents.
When my parents saw me they looked astonished. They are always calling me ugly I know it wasn't true but some days I would believe them. I hope how I look now will shove those words down their throats.
" Gisselle is that actually you?" My father questioned.
" Sir Delafontaine this is your beautiful child in the flesh." Beverly said happily
" My husband wasn't talking to you Beverly." My cruel vile mothers spits.
" Maria it's fine. Gisselle you look wonderful." he smile. I could help but smile my father never went around complimenting me like that.
" I do agree with your father you do not look as bad you would have on a average day." I knew that was the best I could get from my mother, but I was fine with it.
" Thank you father, mother. "
" Well we have to go so let us get a move on please," My father says. We walk to the carriage and get in as swiftly as we could because we do have sort of a long ways to go. My dress was big and so was my mothers so it was kind of crowded inside the carriage.
I forget about my risky plans on leaving Estella for a moment so I could focused on how today was starting to be a wonderful day as well, and how I will try to rearrange all my memory's of my parents to pleasant ones like yesterday and today. So instead all I will have are good memory's to tell my future children. I couldn't help myself to wonder how my life would have been if my parents would have loved like they should've and if Elizabeth was actually a good friend. I probably wouldn't be leaving my beautiful Estella and I wouldn't have to say I missed anything.
After some time passed in the carriage I started to get nervous. I had no idea why. I was officially confused but there was a pit in my stomach and I couldn't remove it. I kept say everything is alright. No matter how much I tried to convince myself I couldn't. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I could hear the blood rushing in my ears. The closer we got the more nervous I became.
Why did I feel so nervous? What could it possibly be about? Could it be that I am terrified that Elizabeth would ruin my so far perfect day? After some thought I knew it couldn't possibly be that because e honestly I hate Elizabeth and really don't care. My gut was telling me something but I couldn't figure it out in the slightest, and that made me feel even worse. It is terrifying not seeing what is right in front of you. I all of a sudden feel like a kid again playing hide and seek in the dark and not knowing what or where it is hiding. Everyone knows that you aren't scared of the dark but you are scared of what is lies in the dark, and right now I feel like there is something absolutely terrifying hiding and I am frightened of what it may be. What is to come out of hiding? Or is there nothing even there?
