She says to me close to my ear so that the elderly woman does not listen. Her voice was not above a whisper. “Wait a moment, Elise”. I put my hand on her hand and said to her.

ISABELLE’S POVI look at myself in the mirror. I am looking so beautiful today. The dress made by Edith is so beautiful that I am unable to take my eyes off of it. It is a sleeveless white dress and it has pearls stitched on it. It shows my back a little. My hair is tied on my back with fancy pins.“The king will be so much pleased to see you like this”.
