Chapter 11

Serena tied lady Betsy's corset tight as instructed.

" tighter!"

she yelled and flinched in pain and discomfort.

After wrapping and styling her hair, Serena lifted the mirror.

" I wonder how the prince would feel when I make an entrance. ".Lady Betsy cooed stroking her dress.

Serena chuckled silently recalling how Philip looked at her.

After she left, Serena arranged her chambers and prepared for her next bath.

A soft knock sounded after.

Cassandra came in wearing a beautiful long plain yellow gown. her hair swept into a large bun fitting her round face.

" you look so beautiful Cassandra!" Serena whispered placing Lady Betsy's cloth on the bed and hugging her.

" Thank you, Serena. I brought something for you too."

A red beautiful gown was lifted for her to see.

"to the one that is holy!" Serena gasped in surprise." you own this?"

" yes..my mother gave it before she died. I've worn it countless times."
