are the type of person I hate the most. You have everything, and yet you are never satisfied” Nerissa declared throwing me down the steps as she sat down in the chair, locking eyes with me in the mirror. “Well, I know one thing you will never have.”
“You are crazy.” I exclaimed, pushing pass the pain in my hip to stand up.
“Be warned, it would be very scandalous for you to continue behaving the way you usually do around the Prince.” Nerissa smiled innocently batting her eyelashes into the mirror. “It would not be pleasant if the Kingdom thought you fancied my groom to-be.”
“I don’t care how upset you are at me, but leave him out of this.” I shook with anger all over at the thought of anyone marrying her, especially Prince Leev. “Why are you doing this, we are supposed to be sisters.”
“Poor naïve Cordelia, Did you think everyone would just welcome you with open arms?”
Before I could respond a knock from the other side of the door interrupted me.
“We are here for Princess Cordelia’s fitting.” A woman announced from the other side sounding different from the woman who appeared earlier.
Without making a sound Nerissa was down the steps and dangerously close to my face. “Don’t forget to smile and put on a nice show for mother and father, if you want to secure your sisters safety. Oh, and fix your hair it looks atrocious.”
Fear held me motionless, as I looked up at my wide-eyed petrified reflection in the mirror in front of me.

There were absolutely no words to describe how livid I am at this exact moment.
First, I haven’t heard from Ashley in almost twenty-four hours, and the night before we were served dog slop for food in our rooms, not allowed to leave; and now a grumpy old woman comes bringing me and April rag doll dresses, only telling us to prepare for the Princess Cordelia’s return banquet before slamming the door in my face.
“Angie calm down, let’s just put on the dresses and go to the banquet. There has to be a reason why Ashley hasn’t contacted us.” April rationally tried to make excuses for Ashley.
“Or she has found her real family to be more important than us, and we are only embarrassments to her now.”
“Ashley has changed since we have been on Earth, she wouldn’t do that to us again.”
“If she would do it to fit in with the royal popular kids, there is nothing to say that she won’t do it again, now that she knows she is royalty.” I exclaimed, not realizing until I saw a tear slowly slide down April’s cheek that she was terribly shaken up at this possibility.
“I know Ashley treated us wrong just to belong and to feel normal for a change, but that doesn’t change that she is our sister, and no matter what I will believe in her.”
“Fine, I will let it go for now.” I reassured her as I held the tacky grey dresses out to her. “So, what do you suppose we do with these?”
After altering the dresses a little with the shawls that came with them, we were able to make them look a little more presentable as we tied them around our waist leaving it to hang down the length of the dress on one side.
I had just finished putting my feet in the straw-like slippers, when a knock sounded at the door.
Once April opened the door I could hear Rṓ gaire explain that he was there to escort us to the banquet.
As I opened the door wider I discovered that Rṓ gaire was not alone.
“For a moment I thought you had made a scene and was thrown in the dungeon.” Leo sighed with relief and laughter.
“I wouldn’t celebrate just yet if I were you.” I warned him as we stepped out of the cage we were placed in over twenty-four hours ago.
“Where is Ashley?” April asked disappointedly looking around.
“She will be introduced with the royal family.” Rṓ gaire explained, as he began to lead them down the halls without hesitation.
“How do you know where to
