Chapter Five.
Immediately the words left my mouth, the door flew open and Amy, the girl from the toilet walked in. She looks around amused then asks
"What did I miss?"
"Cassie here, just agreed to go with us" Chace says grinning. Her head immediately whips towards my direction
"Really?" She squeals and I nod with a little smile. Why is she so happy?
"That is awesome news" she says clapping her hands together
"But I'm only going because they kidnapped my friend and they won't return her until I go with them" she smirks then turns to the boys
"Let me guess, Axel , you did this" he nods with a smug smile on his face. I send him a disgusted glare and he just looks at me with a smirk on his face.
"OK Axel and Cassie break it up." I roll my eyes and cross my hands over my chest looking at anything but his annoying face.
" Good ,Now boys time to go, I'll bring Cassie back. You guys go make arrangements for her arrival." She says calmly but with authority leaving no room for arguments. They all nod curtly and with the snap of her fingers a large purple door appears on my wall. Oh! So that's the portal chace was looking for.
They all walk in one after the other and immediately the last one walks through, it closes.
"Now that they are gone, it's our turn to leave" she says turning to the door. I quickly grab her hand to stop her from leaving
"Wait, I have some questions that I need answers to first"
"Can't I answer them later?, right now we need to leave so I can prepare you for the presentation. I promise I will answer all your questions later" I sigh dropping my hand to my side
"What presentation are you talking about?"
"Well we are presenting you to the people so they know who you are besides you need to meet your suitors" she says with a grin on her face
"Suitors? Which suitors?" I ask with a frown
"The nobles. Don't worry you will meet them soon enough."
"Just so you know I'm not marrying anyone any time soon besides I'm not staying there long" she just shrugs
"OK time to go." She snaps her fingers again and a purple portal appears once again but this time it appears on the door. She starts walking towards it but I don't follow. I mean have you seen that thing, it looks like it wants to swallow me.
When she turns around and sees me still rooted the spot I was standing in she walks back to me
"It's okay Cassie, it doesn't hurt, all you have to do is step through" I nod and this time she holds my hand as we both walk in. Immediately I stepped in I shut my eyes
"Cassie! Open your eyes, we are here" I hear Amy say. I take in a deep breath and open my eyes slowly.
The moment my eyes opened my jaw literally dropped. The room is beautiful. The curtains are purple lined with gold and the bed in the middle of the room is gold with dark purple sheets and gold nets on each side. When i take a step towards the bed I feel something smooth and silky underneath my feet, when I look down, the floored is covered with rugs the darkest colour of black and to the right side of the room there's a door while on the left there's a huge gold dressing mirror. Everything in here is screaming expensive but nevertheless I think I just walked into my dream room
"Please tell me this is my room" I murmur mostly to myself but I think Amy heard me because she giggled
"I thought you said you weren't going to stay long?" That's true but how can I walk away from a room like this, I think I will take a picture and decorate my room back home just like this. I check my pocket but its not there, Grr! I left it at home.
"I'm not staying, just show me where april is please" what was I thinking?
"You will see her soon but first we have to dress you up" before I have a chance to reply, she claps her hands and many girls walk into the room.
"OK girls this is princess Cassandra Don pira, please help her get dressed and make sure she looks her best" they all nod and continue staring at me. I move closer to Amy and whisper
"Who is Cassie don pira? I think you got my name wrong I'm Cassie Lotte"
" That used to be your name but this is your real name " my real name?
" we seriously need to talk " I say looking at her intensely
"Yes we do but that will happen once you are dressed now be polite and act like a princess they are waiting for you to speak" my eyebrows shoot up and I turn to face the girls once again. What do I do? Act like a princess she says, have I ever been a princess how the hell do I know how to act?
I think I have watched enough Disney movies to pull this off
"Good day ladies, would you please introduce yourself so I may get to know you by your names" I ask smiling but their expression all change to a surprised one. What happened did I say something wrong? I turn to Amy and she shakes her head at me but I don't get. She sighs loudly then moves closer.
"Here we don't call the maids by name and you are supposed to just nod or curtsey signifying to them you acknowledge their presence" Oh! OK so movies don't help but I still want to know their names I mean I should know the names of the girls that are about to help me dress up shouldn't I
I point at the short brunnett at edge
"What's your name?"
"I'm laila your highness" she says with a curtsey. I smile and point to the next girl a blonde
"My name is melody your highness" It continued like this until I know the name of all six girls.
"OK girls go and start your duties" they all nod once more and scatter into the room, some went into the room connecting to mine through the door, others went to the dressing table and starting bringing out make up sets.
"Time to make you look like a princess" Amy says enthusiastically.
After an hour and a half of washing, scrubbing, plucking of eyebrows, tightens of corsets until I can't breath, styling my hair and applying make up, they are finally through and now I'm in front of the mirror staring back at a very gorgeous lady. Wow!
My long blonde hair was done in a tight bun with few tendrils falling around my face, decorated with golden pins going into the bun. I should ask them what they put on it because it seems to be glowing.
They used minimal makeup but it still manages to make my eyes color more pronounced. The dress is like no other I have seen before with the beautiful intricate designs and little diamonds embedded at the bottom. The dress is green just like the color of my eyes. It's just... Perfect!
"Thank you all very very much" I say with a huge grin and they return my smile before exiting the room one after the other.
"Those girls did good you look very beautiful, just like a real princess all that's missing now is that crown. Come let us go and get that crown of yours" Amy says smiling at me with an extended hand for me to take. I take it as we make our way out of the room into a very lovely hallway, it has this ancient look to it but in a beautiful way. I look at Amy and shes still dressed casually.
"Are you not going to dress up?" I ask. She looks down at herself shaking her head, it seems she forgot
"Give me a minute" she says but just before she left she gave me a few tips on how to behave like a princes.
In the blink of an eyes I'm left standing alone in this long hallway. I decide to continue walking but as I'm about to turn at the end of the hallway, I bump into someone effectively sending me backwards but I regain my footing before I fell. I look up to scold the person for not looking at where they were going to be greeted with a sight that left me speechless.
The whole hall was filled with different men all dressed formally like princes.
"Your highness are you okay?" I look up to meet beautiful green eyes that belongs to the guy I just ran into.
Immediately he said it they all turned back looking at me. Jesus I think I forgot how to speak.
I nod and start turning to leave but another one speaks up
"Your highness may we have the pleasure of knowing your name?" I turn back around looking for who just spoke when I spot him, he has raven black hair with dark brown eyes.
They are all waiting for me to respond but I'm finding it hard to speak when I remember what Amy said " you are a princess here, act like it, don't stammer, don't break eye contact by looking down, No keep your chin up and your back straight. Speak like you own the place even if you don't know what to say breath in and say whatever pops into your mind but never stay silent " I had asked her why but she said I would find out soon enough.
"My name is Cassandra Don pira" I say with a small curtsey, I had seen the girls do it when I asked them their names while looking them straight in the eye not breaking eye contact.
Suddenly Amy appears in a breath taking dress in front of me. She looks around then smiles
"Cassandra I see you've met the nobles" Oh! So these are The nobles but she said the nobles are my suitors so does that mean every man in this room wants to be my husband. Oh my gosh! How will one pick from all these handsome men, they should be like 20 of them here.
