Chapter 1

          Part 2 : Trouble in the Tide Palace 

     As Grace try’s to pick the look to the door she thinks of all the times she was plying in the palace as a young child and her mother would have her under constant super vision due to her poor health and how from a young age she learned how to sneak out,

 John : GRACE! How many time’s have me and your mother told you the danger of snacking out of the palace! 

     Her father John is siting by her bed as the maid is changing her cold wet trowel on her forehead, 

 Grace : B-but f-father! I ju-st wanted to see th-the spring f-festival, 

     John sigh’s then the gently hold’s her hand,

 John : Look my dear, *sigh* Me and your mother just want to be carful with your heath and to do that you need to stay in the palace,  

     Grace look to her father, 

 Grace : B-but I just w-wanted to be like my b-brother he alway’s get’s to g-go out of the palace and I d-don’t!  

     John sigh’s again, 

 John : Look Al can do that because he dose not get sick easily BUT you do, So how about the your father promises that when the weather get’s wormer and I can come out with you we can go for walk’s in the garden,  And I can take you around the town in the carriage with me when I visit the duke so you can explore from the safety of the carriage how dose that sound? 

     Holding her father’s hand she looked in to his eyes saying, 

 Grace D-do you r-really promise?  

     With a loving look on his face he said, 

 John : Of course I will just tell me whenever you are ready and I will clear my schedule just for you I promise! 

     Though Grace and her Father came to en understanding it would still be a long time before the Grace would be allowed outside of the palace, Day’s would go by and the only one’s to visit the lonely princess where her mother and brother but even they would not visit her for day’s, Day’s would turn into week’s, Week’s would turn into month’s, Even though Grace was sad that they would let so much time pass before they would come to visit her she would still sneak out and enjoy her time outside the wall’s of the palace, Though there were time’s that she would get caught by the head maid Mindy she would not scold her but instead tell her story’s of her future to come when her Prince Charming would come to save her form her mundane life!  

 Grace : And with that this “heavy duty door” is useless in my presence! 

     As she open the door just enough to see out to check if there is anyone there standing watch, 

 Grace : Good! I don’t see any one or hear any one so I should be clear to look around.., 

     She carefully walk out into a hallway where she walk’s bear foot trying not to make a sound as she continue’s to try to find clues as to where she is she come’s upon two maid’s talking,

 Head Maid : Well should we go and check on the foreign princess? Do you think she has woken up yet?

 Butler : No not yet we need to give it some time, The Master want’s us to take good care of her but for now he want’s her to have no contact with any one.

 Head Maid : I see then I shall wait, But do you really think the Master’s plane will work?

 Butler : I never doubt the Master!

 Head Maid: But don’t you think that the Prince will be able to tell the difference between them?

 Butler : No the Prince was never able to meet the Princess thank’s to the Master plan that is why the Master changed his sister’s appearance to mach the Princesses since they both look so similar know with there hair matching he will be none the wiser to who is the real princess and who is the fake! He Also put her in the palace where she is easy to find even the other maid’s were instructed on how to make the Prince follow them to where she is.

 Head Maid : This just feel’s wrong though, What if this start’s a war I they find out!

 Butler : That is why the Master has made all the preparation's for the Mistress to be able to marry him without them ever knowing!

     Just then another maid runs up to them, 

 Maid : The Master need’d to speak to you immediately! 

     The butler hand’s the head maid the basket, 

 Butler : Take this to the Mistress room it is going to be really cold tonight I need to go see the master! 

     The Head Maid and the Butler along with the other maid run off in all different directions, While Grace stood there pondering what she just herd with a glum look on her face she counted on walking around to try to find more clue’s when she slip’s a fall’s cutting her foot, As she try’s to endure the pain as to not make a sound,

 Grace : W-why me, Why did this have to happen to me on the day that I would finally be free for good form the wall’s of the palace I call home, even though I may have the title of Princess I am still alone, *sigh* If Mindy where here she would tell me that it is ok and that my Prince Charming would not let that happen….,   But how would he even know the real me…., Just like that man said the I have never met the man who is suppose to be my true love…..,

     As she limps back to the room/dungeon where she woke up she start’s to contemplate what she heard the Maid a Butler speak of.
