(trying to set a corset on Amelia)
"Grandma do we have to do this"she said while struggling to breathe
"Nonsense,of course you have to do this,the prince is holding a ball for all the villagers and the nobles to choose a wife and you are most suitable because you are a very beautiful and hardworking young lady my child.You are no longer a child dear and you have to get married."Grandma Morena querried
"Grandma remember what happened to mother,she was killed by this same people you want me to go have a feast with..(little tears started rolling her eyes) i miss mother so much and i wish she was here to witness how much her daughter have grown since the past few years
(Hiccups)".
"My child come sit down with Grandma"Morena said to her while sobbing too"you see my child,before your mother died she told me to hand you this dress you are putting on now if there was any occasion you are to attend ,maybe she has her reasons for doing that or maybe she predicted that a day like this would come...My child if you are worried that anyone would find out about your identity as a half human half siren then you don't have to worry because i have a solution or did you think i would ask you to go out there without having a back up plan?huh?....oh C'mon "Grandma chuckled and they both laughed together
"Really grandma is it really possible for me to ho out there without being noticed as a siren"Amelia asked excitedly
"Of course,you wait here while i go get it for you"Morena said as she went to her bedroom to get it
When she got to the bedroom she opened the drawer that was close to the bed and brought out something that looked like a jewelry box and another container black in colour and then went downstairs.
Grandma Morena was half way down the stairs when she stopped to stare at her granddaughter and how much she had grown and tears started streaming down her eyes
"Oh how i wish Linda was here to see how much of a big girl you are now dear,i am sure that she's happy and very proud of you"she said sadly and quickly wiped her tears out and went downstairs
"Here it is"grandma Morena said happily
"What's that grandma" she asked
"This my dear,is a jewelry your mother left behind when she was leaving the world and this in the container I will tell you how to use it before leaving for the ball"
"Okay grandma"
"Alright dear lets get your hair done and your make up and oou the jewelry too,you have to look beautiful for the prince"grandma Morena said excitedly
"The lipstick and its done...come take a look at your self in the mirror dear"
Amelia was so speechless that tears was threatening to roll down her eyes but she didn't succumb because she didn't want to ruin her make up.although,Amelia was already spotless and very beautiful with the make up and the jewelry and even her hair that was tied up in a bon and embroided with sapphire coloured beads to match her eyes.
Her dress was royal blue with silver pearls got from the tears her mother left before she left the world and some glitter to complement the shoes she was lookking like a princess already."Grandma this is....."she was speechless
"Gorgeous??i know,i am a wonderful make up artist "grandma Morena praised her self nd they both laughed
"Grandma thank you so so much,i love you "she said almost tearing up
"Oh no dear we don't want to ruin the make up now do we?"
"Of course not, I'm not crying any more"Amelia said wiping her tears
As she was leading Amelia to the horse she borrowed from her neighbour Morena stopped in immediately and Amelia frowned lightly
"Grandma what is it?"
"Oh dear i forget what i wanted to give you"she said rushing to the center table in the livi g room "take the pill in the container one for every 4 hours till you return and no matter the water or the urge that comes to turning into a siren at the sight of water you wouldn't okay?"
"Okay grandma"
"And hold on,that necklace on your neck is going to help you in case you waste more than four hours without taking the pill,but you have to remember that it can only last one hour after four hours and you will turn to a siren back if you don't take the pill"
"Alright grandma thank you so much for your help i will not stay late and come back as soon as the main ceremony is over"
"Okay dear,i trust you..goodbye Amy"
"Bye grandma"she entered the carriage and left for the city to the palace where the royal family stays
Meanwhile at the palace.....
The whole palace was busy,the cook getting the dishes cooked and served on the table for the feast,the decorators making the palace as beautiful as ever,the queen and king getting dressed up for the event ,the prince and his sister the princess also getting ready it was indeed a busy palace..
"Darling do you really think it's a good idea to invite the whole village for the ball,while don't you just invite the nobles instead afterall our son is going to get married to a family that is of the smae status as us "Queen Ashley complained
"Oh honey,you know the villagers hasn't seen the king and the royal family for a long time and this is a great opportunity for us to get to see our people and how they are faring,they might never get this opportunity again"king Roland said back to his wife in a gentle tone
The queen was very beautiful and you would have guessed how beautiful her children are just by looking at the queen.yes her daughter was outstanding amongst many females of her status her shape and curves makes her look more elegant . But ,does her attitude match with her elegancy?....
"Looking good brother"Makayla said
"Thanks,you don't look so bad your self sis"Alex replied
"Of course I don't look bad, i am going to be the most beautiful girl in this ball"she bragged and went out of her brother's room
