Natalia woke to the brightness of the morning sun. The sunlight filtered in through her window, and cast an orange glow in the room. She tossed in her bed for a moment, not wanting to get up, but she finally pushed herself out of bed. She darted to the bathroom quickly so she could be ready on time. Once there, she started her morning routine off by brushing her teeth. Then, she turned on the shower. Hot water tricked down her body, both relaxing her and waking her up at the same time. By the time she was done, steam filled the bathroom and fogged the mirrors. Wrapping herself in a towel, she went to her closet to decide on what to wear. There was a party soon, so she wanted to look presentable.
Talia finally settled on her outfit. It consisted of a peach strapless dress, silver heels, a bracelet and a clutch. She wanted to keep it simple, since the focus today was on the prince and princess. At the thought of the princess, Natalia remembered she needed to help Rose get ready for the party. Quickly brushing her hair, she let her dark curls down, cascading down her back. After she put on some light lipstick and makeup, she left her room.
As she approached Rose's chambers, a servant tapped on her shoulder. Miss, would be so kind as to help us set up for the party? We're a bit short on hands right now," he inquired. Natalia glanced at the door to Rose's room and sighed. She had two other ladies in waiting to help her get ready for now. "Of course, I'll help," she replied.
Natalia spent most of the time helping set up the tables and the food, or hanging up decorations. Servants were running frantically around the castle, each set with a task in mind. It was hard work, but they were finally finished. By the time the finishing touches were done, people were already beginning to arrive. She spotted the princess walking out wearing a beautiful white dress. Alex, Evette, and Xavier accompanied her. Natalia absolutely adored the princess. She was a very kind person, and they had known each other for a long time. It was nice to see Evette in a dress, since she usually wormed her way out of it and wore casual clothes. She approached Rose, and gave a small curtsy. "Looking beautiful as always I see," Natalia said with a playful smile. "Sorry I couldn't help you get ready this morning, I was out here lending a hand with the set up." She smiled at Alex and Evette, before turning to greet Xavier. "Hey Xavier, how are you?"
