"What do you mean my sweetie?" She ask shaken a bit.
"Well our son, just told me that Chanel is secretly with the head chef." The King told his wife. "I don't understand why you want Scarlett to get marry when our eldest is clearly not following what we told her over the years." He says standing up getting irritated. "So Scarlett is least of our concern."
The Queen got defensive, "What do you mean least of our concern? She been sending letters to a knight, Cornelius. This is not alright at all."
He rubs his temples, "I can't believe I'm hearing this. Your more upset about Scarlett than you are about Chanel. You listen to me my Queen, your finding someone to wed Chanel. My orders and your can't obey them." He walks out so annoyed and can't believe that he had heard.
On the other side of the castle Chanel and Scarlett are painting together outside in the open. Scarlett keeps poking out her head to see if the guards are still couple feet in front of them, then goes back to her mountain landscape painting. Chanel on the other hand couldn't paint at all, and ends up looking like a dog growing a tree on its back.
"How in the world can you paint?" Chanel groans as she cleans up. Then stands behind Scarlett.
"I'm not sure, someone in the family has to be an artist right?" She says also cleaning up. "Oh how did the dress turn out?" Scarlett ask heading inside.
"It's so gorgeous Scar it's huge and such a wonderful gold color. Do you have a dress?" Chanel eyes sparkle as she talks about her dress.
"I will find something." Scarlett wasn't worry about the dress just more of the people she's meeting. "Something dark green, that's all I know."
Chanel nods and waves bye as she heads to her room. She opens the door to her room seeing her mother there in front of the window have her back facing Chanel. "Mother..hello." She gave a small smile as she puts down her painting.
"So I hear you are kissing the chef darling." The mother says in a not so pleasant tone. "Anwser me child, is it true or not?"
Chanel starts to sob, "M-Mother please I love him.." She says falling on her knees. "Please mother don't do this.."
The Queen bends down and kissed Chanels forehead, "Oh darlings, you are getting wed soon and I made some arrangements for the ball. Now clean up supper is nearly done." She leaves Chanels chambers with a blank expression as she heads to her study.
Chanel was left with grief and sadness from what her mother did. She stands up walks to her vanity as Chanel cleans herself up and reapplied makeup. Chanel thinks she knows who told mother this and it was Scarlett. Her gut believes it was Scarlett and was about to kill her.
Scarlett was sitting down across the ball room watching the servants once again making the ball room all fancy and shiny. She was eating some cheese as she watches guards walks by her and then her mother also but she didn't notice Scarlett. Scarlett shakes her heads stands up going to her chambers seeing if she has a dress for the ball.
Then she saw Chanel rushing towards Scarlett angry. "This is what you done to me!" She shouts as she pushes Scarlett. "How dare you tell Mother about the chef. What have I done to you!"
Scarlett was startled by Chanel emotions, "I did what? What no I didn't, why would I do that. I haven't gone near mother until yesterday where she scolded me." Scarlett explains.
"Your lying, lying little red head! Get out of here!" Chanel shoves Scarlett as she walks away.
Scarlett rubs her face and tries to understand what had happened but nothing would click to mind. She opens her chamber door and goes to her wardrobe to see what nice dresses she has. Some of them are lace and some silk but nothing extreme. Scarlett wants the dress to be perfect when she sees Brice, she smiles as she thinks about him. As she searches for a dress Scarlett pulls out a fiery red dress, "Yes this is it." She says putting it back in her wardrobe. Scarlett sighs and looks at the window seeing its getting dark so she gets her quill pen and paper as she starts writing to Brice like she always done.
It's starts out with, "My darling kisses, I can't wait to see you tomorrow at the ball. There's going to be so many people but when your in the room it just feel like it's just you and I. Hopefully I'll lock arms with you as you give me kisses darling. Well sweet dreams my sweet kisses.
Love, Scarlett"
Scarlett folds the letter in the envelope as she put her quill pen in the ink. She quickly heads downstairs to one of the guards and ask them to give it to Brice the strong. Then heads back to her chambers all flushed in the face as she fall back first on her bed.
Dorian exits the library with some books and was about to head to his chambers but his father caught him.
"Since now we are good buddies with Finland now they have a daughter your age. I want you to meet her alright." His father says.
"I thought Mother was making me meet the princess of France." He said trying to figure out what's going on.
"No, your mother has her focus all on Chanel now. Now you go rest son." He says walking off to his study.
Dorian sighs as he rubs his neck as he goes to his chamber. Then all the lights slowly go out as everyone was in their rooms as the whole castle went silent and everyone's troubles goes away.
