the royal selection

Part 22 and the winner is.....

(After dinner)
Lili's POV
We went to the woman's room. Where I think all of us were really nervous. And we sat on the couches while we waited for the queen to arrive. About 5 minutes later she did and her and Ashley started talking.

"Okay girls, well you all did very well! Better than me and Ashley were expecting. But now we will have to pick the best. They were all very well presentations, but one theme was better than the rest." Ashley said and looked at the queen. "And that is group two with classical black and white" she said smiling as.

People had a disappointed look on there face while that group was congratulating each other. "It's okay guys, we still did good!" I said to the people in my group as they nodded. "We have already talked to the maids who are making your dresses and preparing your outfits for the ball!" The queen said happily before dismissing us.

I went back to my room, not feeling that happy but not sad either just felt normal. Once I got back to my room, I grabbed my book and went to the library. I really wasn't that tired, so maybe reading would tire me out.

Once I got to the library I sat down in my usual place and read. This book was so good! Fifteen minutes into reading it, I'm already on the verge of tears. I don't know what it is about this book, but there is definitely something.

I flinched as I heard the rebel alarm. I got up and looked around looking for a maiden guard. "Where do I go" I asked her as she looked at me worried. "follow me" she said quietly as she took me to the back of library, where there was a safe door underneath the farthest desk. We walked down the stairs for a while till we made it to the safe room where everyone was.

Once I got inside she was leaving. "Aren't you coming in?" I asked confused. She shook her head "there is a different safe room for maids and cooks" she said with no emotion. Before I could respond I was pulled into the room. "We found her, we have lady lili" a guard said as they dragged me into the safe room and closed the door.

I just stood there in shock. Well not really shock considering this has happened at least once before, I was just confused on why they couldn't just let the maid in. I mean she is right there and you close the door. "hey are you ok" I heard a voice next to me.

It was Cole. I nodded not really saying anything. "are you sure" he asked I smiled at how worried he was "I'm fine" I said as a smile of relief and a bit embarrassment went over his face. He then nodded and went back to his sister where they talked. "Oh my gosh lili you scared me" I heard madelaines voice say as she hugged me.

I giggled. "Mads I'm fine" I said as she smiled. Then cami came up. "Hey lili you ok you took a while" she said as I smiled. "I'm ok thanks for asking, oh and congrats on the win" I said as she smiled. "Thanks, I can't wait for the ball, it's my first one" she said excitedly. "Same! It makes me feel like I'm in a movie you know" I said

As we all giggled and nodded. Ashley then led us to the beds like she always does. Most girls fell asleep, in like 30 minutes. But me mads and cami, we too busy talking to even focus on sleep! "Girls hush you're going to wake the others" Ashley snapped at us, as we giggled when she turned around.

We kept talking for another hour until we got tired and finally went to bed. The next thing I remember is waking up in the safe room beds. With Ashley shaking me. "Wh-what?" I asked confused. "lili it's time for you to go back to your room, you can sleep in there" she said calmly I nodded as I got up and looked around, I was the last one here!

I got up and walked out of the safe room, and back to my room. When I got there I quickly changed, then got straight into my bed. Once I pulled the covers over myself, I fell asleep.
