Finding Love In Royalty

Chapter 16

I woke up this morning with Shyanne walking around my room opening up my curtains. "Good morning Katy. Today is the day that you get to announce your 18th birthday ball to the people of London." She says while smiling at me.

"Oh wonderful wonders." I say smiling sarcastically.

"Perk up it can not be that bad." She says.

"I have to stand on the balcony infront of everyone in the country and wait for everyone to quiet down before announcing a party that few of the people in the crowd will be able to attend." I say. "It is the easiest thing ever until I finish and realize that I sound rather rude." I say standing up off my bed.

"I am sorry Katy. If there was a way I could make this easier for you I would in a heart beat." She says.

"It is all right. Would you be willing to pick out my outfit for me?" I ask her.

"Of course." She says smiling. I follow her into my closet to see her heading for my knee length dresses.

"Shy, I have to wear a floor length gown for this." I tell her. She nods her head and turns around heading for my floor length dresses. She looks through them all and pulls out two dresses. One is a light pink with a sliver band around the waist a sweetheart neck line and silver cap sleeves. The other dress is a mint with a sweat heart nect line and a silver band around the waist.

"Which dress do you perfer?" She asked me.

"I like the light pink one." I say smiling at her.

"So do I." She says. She passes me the dress and grabs me a pair of black heels. We lay the stuff on my bed and I head over to my vanity. I put my hair into a simple side braid and put my tiara on top and secure it in my hair. I head over to my bed and slide into my dress, and put on my heels. Once I am dressed there is a knock on my door. Shyanne runs over and opens the door to my parlor. "Katy it is the princes." She says leading them into my bedroom.

"Hello lads." I say smiling at them.

"Hello Katy." They all say.

"Are you ready for this?" I ask them.

"Ready for what? Standing behind you as you make an announcement to not only your country but our countries too? Of course." Louis says with a wide smile on his face.

"Oh hush you. Now come along it is almost time." I say and lead the boys over to the balcony where we will have to stand. The horns blow and we step out onto the balcony. I walk over to the railing with the boys standing on either side of me. "Good morning people of London, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Bradford, Doncaster, and Ireland. I am very glad to announce that we will be hosting my eight-teenth birthday ball very soon. The princes will be in attendance as I hope the nobels from all of your countries will be also. Thank you all, and I hope you all have a wonderful day." I say smiling at everyone before we all head back into the palace and the guards shut the balcony doors behind us.

"I really hate doing those." I say as soon as the doors are shut and we all head into my parlor room.

"Why?" Harry asks.

"I feel like I am teasing everyone else that is not allowed to come to the party." I say looking down at my hands.

"It makes sense." Niall says.

"It seems just really horrible to me to do that to people, why not just get all of the people that will be allowed to come to the party together and announce it just to them." I say standing up. "I need to change so I will be right back. How about we all watch movies here tonight. Go get into comfy clothes and come back in about 10 minutes." I say, the boys all nod their heads and walk out of my room and head to their own. I really wish I could be more normal sometimes.
