Chapter 3

Today was my last final, thank god the pressure is over. I was getting ready for dinner. I had on a light pink dress with just some embroidery nothing too much. My hair was down with a pearl clip tugging a bit of the hair back. Alicia, one of my helpers left some heels that go perfectly with the dress. I looked down at my feet and I could already feel them hurting.

I do wear heels on bigger occasions but on the normal dinners I'd rather go with the sneakers. Looked down at my dress and yes It was long enough to hide my shoes or mom would kill me. I grabbed my white sneakers and I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I said while I was sitted on the bed putting on my shoes.

"How come you're a girl and you're always wearing sneakers while I have paires that have never even used." Said Nicholas as he sat next to me on bed.

"Well the difference is your the future king and I on the other hand have my dress.." - I wiggled the dress - "to help me hide."

"Great, I think I should start wearing dresses"
- He said jokingly as he bowed down to help me tie the laces.

"That would be scandalous!" - I said changing my accent as we both fell in laughter. - "To what do I owe the pleasure my future king?" I said jokingly and bowed at him.

"I came to escort milady to dinner" - he said smiling.

"Why is that?" I questioned.

"Because I missed my bestfriend so much" and not long after that I gave him a bear hug.

"I missed you tooo"

"I know I've been quite busy with the project but its just for a while."

"I know I had finals too" He gave me his arm and I held it with my right hand and we walked to the dinner room still talking.

"Oh I totally forgot, how were your finals?"

And the conversation flew. We got to dinner and greeted the king and queen and the guest were all there. I sat beside Nicholas and my mom. There were 2 couples next to the king and queen and 2 young boys not too far.
Down the table there was the rest of us.

After dinner all of us went to the great hall for dessert, were everyone was moving freely standing and talking around. It wasn't that bad.
Maybe I was a bit disappointed. It has been two days that I haven't seen the guy I met in the kitchen. He was really nice, I thought I would get to know him better.

As we were in the great hall I got to meet the two couples who one was the king and queen from Switzerland and the other were from Austria. The young boys were the Prince of Italy, quite a charming lad and the Prince of France. They were using this project for the Prince's since they need to start handling this type of work. Nicholas was the representative of United kingdom.

I was already tired, staying in this type of social gatherings wasn't really my thing. I grabbed a cup of tea and exited the room quietly. I passed from the library and it took quite some minutes to choose a new book. Now that I had time, I'd rather spend it in the fiction world, where you could pretend to be someone else even if its for a couple of hours.

I went to the upstairs balcony where there was a couple of bean bags and I sat there.
The view was amazing, one of my favorite places. Where everything was calm and quite and you could admire the country in peace.

I sat on a red green bag, opened my book and started reading whilst sipping my tea, not long after I felt myself dozing off to sleep.
