Queen and the Princess

"Can you please lift your arms," I heard the old man say. I did as I was asked by the royal tailor. I wonder how long he had been working for the crown. Maybe it was a generational occupation. However, he refused to hand over the business to the boy who had come with him. 

The royal tailor continued to take my measurements agonizingly slow. 

My stepmother had specified some designs for the gowns and he was taking measurements according to every design. Thatw as when my stomach rumbled. Embarrassed, I looked at the queen, "I think we should take a lunch break."
