An extra long chapter as an apology for disappearing for a few weeks :) enjoy
Once Lizzy and I return back to the palace, we throw the bags of new clothing into my bedroom and head over to her room. Lizzy leads me into her room that looks exactly like mine except for her own personal decorations and family photos. She opens the door to her closet and turns to look at me.
"What dress would you like to wear for the black and white ball?" Lizzy asks me. I didn't even know there was even a theme for each ball.
"Um, I think I should wear black and you wear white." I suggest to Lizzy and she nods her head in approval.
"You read my mind!" Lizzy picks out all the black and white dresses her mother designed and sewed and sprawled them to cover her bed. She stands back and admires her mothers immaculate pieces of art. I see an idea pop into her brain from her expression and she claps her hands together.
"Cartia, before you outright reject the dress, please try it on." Lizzy begs me with puppy eyes. I look at her skeptical but nod. It is only fair I do one thing for her since it feels like all I do is use her. She hands me a black dress but I couldn't really tell what it looked like in a bundle. I go and change into the dress in the bathroom connected to Lizzys bedroom.
If I thought the gown I wore last weekend was lavish, this one seemed even more intricate than the last. There were black small flowers on my chest and the waist was a sheer black corset. The large skirt had some black flowers and a small hint of glitter to make me shine from a distance when the lights hit it at the right angle. Although slightly revealing, I would be a lunatic to turn down the chance to wear something so beautiful.

I come out of the restroom and spin in front of Lizzy. She starts jumping up and down excitedly.
"I knew it! The dress is basically made for you. I guess my mothers talents made me a great stylist," Lizzy dusts her shoulders off.
"Now what are you going to wear fashionista Lizzy?" I ask her after I let her have her moment of smugness.
"You should never doubt me, I already have the dress picked out." Lizzy heads over to the center of her bed and grabs a white dress. Her dress is just as beautiful as mine, with a white waist cinching top and a large flowy tulle skirt. The dress is topped off with beads and silver glitter like mine.
