Hayley makes a mess

Ginny stared at the dress that was handed to her with a heavy expression, what was she supposed to do now? If she knew it then she would have definitely agreed to become Alexis's partner but now she was being forced to dress as a low-class entertainer and even sing for a bunch of nobles. This was simply too humiliating!

" If I knew this was going to happen, I would have feigned sickness, dear lord what am I supposed to do now?" Ginny asked no one in particular as she walked towards Alexis's room with the dress in her hands, she had no ideas left either, should she go and ask the Duke? Maybe she should. 

Ginny paused in her stride and then carefully thought over, its true that there was no way she could go against Madam Regina as the woman was her master but similarly the Duke was also her master, if she was to convince him that she could not do something this horrible then maybe she will be able to escape the grabby paws of Madam Regina.
