Surprisingly Royal

👸Chapter 9: Good for nothing Jerk

I wake up in a good mood today with the hope of being free from this punishment.

I move out of my room and walk into the kitchen as usual to get tea.
I find mum flipping through a book that looks like a magazine whiles drinking tea as usual.

"Morning mum"I greet mum and begin to prepare my own tea.

"Good morning"she responds

I join her on the table after I'm done preparing my tea.

"Why are you looking in a magazine very early today."I ask

It's not like there is a particular time for a person to look in a magazine.
It's just that I'm not used to seeing her looking at a magazine at this early time of the day.

"Oh this,I just want to get a couple ideas from this magazine to help with the decorations at the palace for tommorow's event."

Oh gosh, I almost forgot about the ball.
I don't even understand why is soo necessary for a ball to be held at this time of the year.

But then it's like a very important tradition in Angellos
I don't really like the idea of dancing and wearing those long ball gowns and what makes the idea very annoying is that this ball is a royal masquerade ball.I find so ridiculous and tiring.

And these fancy looking royals will be there too.
i won't even look fancy as them.

I don't even own one of those ball gowns and that hideous masks supposed to be worn.I am certainly sure that i will be kicked out of that place or be stared at by creepy people who won't mind their own business if I show up in my normal clothes.

Maybe mum will find something suitable for me because she always find means and ways to solve my beauty problems when I'm in a beauty crises.

I even wonder why she didn't establish her own fashion empire since she is really good with dresses,footwear and hairstyles

"What are you thinking about? ,you seem deep in thoughts because you are not replying to my questions".I'm brought back into reality when she snaps her fingers at me.

I then realize she was talking to me and i wasn't even paying attention to her.

"Oh i was just thinking about the ball."I say.

"Oh yh the ball,if you are thinking about what to wear then you shouldnt worry because I have already planned your outfit since this might be your last ball."she says .

"What do you mean it might be my last"I ask

"Ermmmm.......I was trying to say that, erhh...... since you don't really like the idea of balls, you can decide not to attend the upcoming ones."she says in a nervous tone.

"Okay"I briefly say

I'm now worried about how I will look at the ball because it's my first ball since I turned Sixteen.
And when you attain sixteen in Angellos you are considered matured and not to be left out in any event.

Most balls held here in Angellos are usually attended by adults or people who are at least sixteen.

The only ball I remember attending was when i was thirteen and the ball was held to celebrate the wedding of the crown prince.It was a general grand ball and it's rarely done.

To be honest to myself,i really want something simple nothing catchy because I don't like it when i draw too much attention to myself. I just want to blend in not stand out.

Oh gosh look at how she is so excited about this outfit of mine.
This can't be good

I think after she is done with dressing me up I will probably look like some hideous looking doll with all these colourful ribbons and make-up .
