CHAPTER 38. Morning Nerves

  ?

  “Ugh, I feel nauseous.” I mumbled as I took hold of the chair nearby to support me.

  “But we haven’t even put the corset on yet, princess!” Anne nagged.

  It was the morning of the party and Anne had woken me up incredibly early to get ready. She brought along a few other maids to help me bathe, to do my makeup and hair and to help me get dressed but the nerves were getting to me and they had only managed to dress me in my innerwear before I started to feel sick.

  One of the young maids came rushing towards me with some warm tea. “Drink this, princess. It will help calm you down.”

  “Thank you…” I muttered as I reached out for the cup. I slowly drank the tea as my eyes went over to Anne who was approaching us with a corset in her hands. “Could we skip that for now…the party only starts in the evening after all.”

  “And your guests will be arriving soon! You need to look elegant and beautiful for them.”
