The Princess's second chance
Luckily, my nanny gave me some stale bread and water.
Isabella was lovely, but she seemed frightened when Theodore was around. The next morning, the maids came to dress me for the Crown Prince and Miss Isabella's engagement party, bringing dresses, shoes, and jewelry. Something inside me told me not to go, but I had no choice. As princess of the empire, I was obliged to attend important celebrations. I examined the dresses that had been sent to me and found that they were all old and worn out. The shoes didn't fit me well either, they were either too big or painfully small. The chambermaids laughed as I searched for a suitable dress to wear to the ball among the few options.
