Chapter 1 The forgotten princess’ story (2/2)

General Robert has fought with my father and stepmother to give me the royal custom given to daughters of the royal family, he said it was my birth right. Even though grandpa Robert isn't my flesh and blood he has loved me as his own granddaughter.

After some nagging and fights, my father agreed at last. And the day of the grand ball has arrived. I was dressed with a beautiful royal blue gown that accented my platinum blonde hair and silver eyes. This was the first time I have worn a beautiful dress.

Looking at the mirror I was so much different from my usual self. The usual me wore the hand-me-downs of my sister. They give me dresses that are out of date and were faded. I don't wear make up and my hair is always tied in a bun or a ponytail. I can't out do my sisters in beauty, I have to always look haggard when I am with them.

But now I look so beautiful. My hair was styled with beautiful hair ornaments. I am wearing make up and jewels. It was though I am looking at a stranger and not myself.

'Knock knock' there was a knock on the door.

The door opened and a maid entered and bowed in front of me.

”Your highness, all the guest have arrived. His majesty the king has called for you.” The maid said.

”I understand. I will be there shortly.” I said to her.

I look at the young lady in the mirror once again and take a deep breath.

I lifted my skirt and exited the door.
