Susana

Lena and I were in my bedroom talking about dress ideas. “How about new nightdresses?!” I flushed. “But we aren't sharing a bed or anything!” I quickly stammered out. Lena burst out laughing. “Not yet you aren't! Anyway if they catch you in the middle of the night turn on the seductress and they'll be eating out of your hands.” Lena said. I sighed and laughed.

The new house was all most complete and I needed a whole new wardrobe. There would be a ball in my honor tonight since I would be leaving tomorrow. “Lena I want you to come with me.” I simply stated. I waited for her response. “Really?! Thanks!” I smiled as my eardrums were blown off by her excited screeching.

“Madam it is time to dress. You have half an hour. Your father's orders.” I nodded as I recognized my maid Yandra's voice. “I've got the perfect dress. Were the silver one!” I went into my dressing room and found multiple beautiful silver dress hanging up. I gasped at the beautiful simplicity of one of them, but I wanted to play seductress tonight. I picked the one that hung off the shoulder and had a low dip, that would show of my cleavage. I could tell it would hold my slim upper body well. Then it flowed out like a pleated bell. It was perfect.

With a little of Lena's help I got a corset and the dress on. It looked amazing on me. I did a little turn in the mirror. It looked perfect on me, like always. When I went into my main room Lena was gone. I shrugged off her disappearance and went to the biggest ball room. The herald stood outside of the door. “Y-your Majesty!?” He stood straighter and held his trumpet out.

The doors opened immediately, and the herald blew his trumpet. “Here he! Here he! Princess Susana of Abeiria!” He shouted. I stepped forward and made my way to my father. “Took you long enough.” I rolled my eyes in response.

I looked around. Everyone was here from Aunt Lea to . . . Felix! I weaved through the crowd to get to him. “Feix!?” I asked. “Susana!?” He replied in his husky tone that I had fallen in love with. “I miss you so much big cousin!” Yeah he was older than me by three years, so what. “Would you mind introducing me to your suitors?”

Suddenly I was reminded of my place, a soon to be married woman. I nodded and looked for Arthur. I spotted him and led Felix towards him. “Felix this is Arthur. He is one of the calmer ones.” I said as introduction. They shook hands. “I know Arthur. You do know he is a duke. . .of your kingdom?” I flushed heavenly and looked down. Of course they knew each other.
