It was evening. Everyone was getting ready while I sat on watched. My dress was not ready yet. This was so annoying. 

"Queen Alissa, please send a maid to check on the seamstress. I'm tired of waiting" I told her.

"This will be the seventeenth time, we are sending the maid to the servants' quarters. Please exercise patience."

Queen Marlena laughed. When I looked at her, she laughed harder. I wondered if she was laughing at my situation or if she knew something about the dress.

"Why are you laughing at her?" Queen Alissa asked, closing one of her eyes. She wanted Marlena to pretend. But I saw them.

"I can't pretend, queen Alissa," she said, bringing out the jewelry boxes from my big chest. 

"What is happening?" I asked, with my eyes darted. They were confusing people at this point.
