Chapter Seven
I rushed back to the ball room and saw Luna in Prince Asa's arms, staring deeply into each other's eyes.
I cleared my throat, "Luna, are you okay?"
They finally noticed me and he let her down, they were both blushing.
"Yes, I'm fine. I fell off the ladder and Prince Asa caught me,"
She curtsied and then I followed.
"Thank you," Luna said shyly, looking at the ground,"For saving me,"
He flashed a smile, "My pleasure,"
I heard someone rushing towards the door, with heels making a clicking noise.
Queen Jess entered, looking furious, "What was that racket? I told you to work, not play. Do you want me to put you back into the -"
She spotted Prince Asa and smiled, "Oh Prince Asa, it's lovely to see you again. I see that you are lurking around my castle,"
He looked at us nervously, still feeling the tension in the air.
He cleared his throat and smiled, "Yes, sorry. I should have came to you before exploring your beautiful castle,"
Queen Jess chuckled and smiled even brighter, "Why thank you, Prince. These fine maids are cleaning up the ballroom for tomorrow evening, I changed it due to the weather,"
Maids? We're not maids, we're princesses not maids! Well, I'm not sure if I am but Luna still is. I'm about to tell her this but then she sees me about to talk.
"Why don't I show you around? Things may have changed from the last time you visited me," Queen Jess said, motioning towards the door.
"That would be fantastic," Prince Asa says, nodding at us as he passes.
We both curtsy and watch the Queen and Prince walk away from us.
"Well, that was a close one. Hopefully Prince Asa didn't guess that she meant to put us back in the dungeon," I say, and then turning towards Luna.
Luna was staring at the door, googly eyed.
I sighed and rolled my eyes, "Luna!"
She snapped out of her daze and cleared her throat, "Yes?"
"Let's get finished with this mess," I said, gesturing to the ballroom.
She nodded and picked up the ladder, smiling.
------------------------------------------------------
"Finally finished," Luna says while we look at the ballroom.
I sigh. Now I can go to the bathroom.
We both walk out and Queen Jess sees us.
"Did you girls finish?" she says.
We both curtsy and nod. She raises an eyebrow and then checks to make sure.
"Good, now you'll be able to attend the ball tomorrow evening. I'll lead you to your room, you'll be sharing one,"
We both smile at each other. I hope the room is big enough for both of us.
We go through lots of corridors and stairs. She stops in front of a door and she smiled.
"Be glad that I gave you this room, its one of the bigger ones," she said, and left.
We both exchanged a excited look and opened the double doors. Once we saw the big room, we gasp. The room was HUGE! It had two queen size beds and a flat screen T.V. At both ends of the room was a bathroom. It also had desks and the best part of it was a big walk in closet in between our beds. I walk towards the closet and Luna followed. I open the door and the lights lighted up one by one. I gasped again. The closet was filled with beautiful dresses, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories. I smile. I heard someone clear their throat. It was another maid, smiling at us.
"Dinner is going to be served here in five minutes,"
"Thank you," I responded and she left.
I closed the door and turned around to look at Luna. She had the same expression as my face. We both knew that we were going to be the prettiest at the ball.
