Princess Isabelle woke up and yawned before getting out of bed, after her vision cleared, she saw a satisfied looking Jummané coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. "Look who's finally up", she said as she walked over to Clara's bed. Princess Isabelle looked over to the bed to find it well made with two attires laid out. "Good morning, where's Clara and Lenora?", she asked curiously. "They went with the rest of the grand council early this morning to finish up the decorations for the ball room. In the meantime, we should head down for breakfast where the voting for their membership will take place. After which we will check to make sure all the baked goods that were delivered this morning are what were ordered.  Then, we will have the rest of the day to get prepped for the ball" stated Princess Jummané. "Sounds good, Clara and Lenora should've already been a part of the grand council", stated Princess Isabelle. " I agree" finished Princess Jummané.

Princess Isabelle disappeared in the bathroom, she reappeared ten minutes later to see Princess Jummané dressed and ready for the challenges that the day would bring. She was wearing a grey sweater dress that rested comfortably above her knees with grey boots and a silver tiara. Her hair was placed in a messy bun. "Clara and Lenora really went for a comfortable look today", Princess Isabelle noted internally now eyeing her attire. She got dressed in a baby blue jeans dress that also sat above her knees with a heart cut out at the back and a golden-brown wedge sneaker with a gold tiara. She decided to sport her hair in a messy throwback. They glanced in the mirror before exiting the room. Both princesses made their way to the outdoor dining table ready to get the results for Clara and Lenora. They greeted Sr. Kenny who handed them the envelope with the results as they took a seat around the empty dining table. The grand council were apparently still in the ball room and the Royal family wouldn't be seen until it was time for the ball. 

The waitresses came and served the meal while Princess Isabelle opened the envelope with her heart pounding in her chest. "Don't be nervous Princesa, open the letter", pushed Sr. Kenny to which Princess Isabelle smiled eagerly. She opened it and took out the results, seeing where nine out of ten members voted for Clara and Lenora. Princess Isabelle also saw where the Kings and queens approved of the voting. She smiled, relaxed this time and shared the results with Sr. Kenny and Princess Jummané who were waiting anxiously. Princess Isabelle was so happy that she even showed it to the waitresses who had no idea of what was going on. Princess Jummané and Sr. Kenny both laughed at her silly but genuine reaction. "This is it; Clara and Lenora are officially apart of the grand council. Maybe being a princess isn't that bad ", stated Princess Isabelle aloud. She then realized her mistake and looked over to see confused looking waitresses and Princess Jummané dying of laughter. Whether it was the results or the upcoming ball, the Princesses realized that they couldn't stop smiling as they ate their breakfast. The next stop would be the grand kitchen.

They arrived in the kitchen twenty minutes later and were consulted by the head chefs and the food manager. "Both of you have done so much already, we will take it from here", stated Lehydra, the food manager. The Princesses were up for an argument, but they realized that they were outnumbered. They reluctantly gave the orders to the food manager, thanked the entire cuisine team and left heading back to the palace. "Talk about bossy", teased Princess Jummané laughing, "they learnt from the best, agreed princess Isabelle chuckling. They re-entered the bedroom and immediately realized that Clara and Lenora had returned. Both princesses gave the stylists a warm hug before sharing the exciting news. The color left their faces for a split second before returning as they looked at each other with wide eyes.  Clara and Lenora gave them another heartfelt hug but this time holding onto them a little bit longer. It came as a complete shock to them because they had no idea that they were even considered to be a part of the council let alone being successfully appointed as new members. "When did you? How? Being your assistant was already an honor, but this, I don't know what to say", stated Clara feeling overwhelmed. Lenora was still frozen unable to speak.
