Madam Lilou's shop didn't have any customers right now and just her two workers present.
"You will need fancy dresses girls".
Eloise and Heather turned to each other,
"That why we are here"Heather spoke,
Madam lilou gasped and turned to them,
"I have the perfect dresses for you girls"madam lilou smiled and clapped her hands.
Her two workers immediately ran to bring two mannequins dressed in two beautiful dresses.
One was a red dress with some beautiful striped stones. It was outstandingly gorgeous that Heather fell in love with it immediately.
"Can I have that one madam lilou?"Heather asked,
"Sure Heather"
Madam lilou's worker removed the gown and gave it to Heather who ran to try it on.
Eloise saw the other gown,it was a blue gown,it was simple yet elegant.
Compared to Heather's,this dress didn't shine but Eloise loved it.
"Do you like it?"madam lilou asked,
"Yes, I do"Eloise turned to the woman and smiled.
"This gown,it may not look astonishing but I spent a lot of time making it than my other dresses".
"Thank you madam lilou"
The girls waved at the woman.
"Did you like your dress elo?"Heather asked,
"Yes"Eloise replied.
Heather felt more happy and her mind didn't wander to how they got the invite.
Soon they arrived at the bakery,
"Good afternoon mr fisher"Heather greeted the young man.
Mr fisher smiled at her before turning his gaze to Eloise.
"How are you?"
Eloise smiled at him,
"I have been well"she replied.
Mr fisher was a young baker,he was a fine young man that many girls fell head heels for but he had his eyes for only Eloise.
"I will get the breads"Heather offered wanting Eloise to spend more time with mr fisher.
Eloise and mr fisher sat down in the bakery as the man stared at her with affection.
"Mr fisher-"
"Levi"
"Levi"Eloise smiled.
"Has aunt Raquel troubled you?"levi asked knowing something bothered the girl.
"No,we got an invite to the king's wedding"she informed,
Levi frowned before smiling,
"That great news,I am also going with lady Camilla,she has promised to get me recognition to the high society"he informed.
"Great news I will see you there mr fisher"Eloise felt glad knowing she and Heather weren't the only ones there,she would be familiar with mr fisher.
She didn't know why but she felt relieved hearing he would be there.
"Eloise,I will make a great fortune and buy a house for you"he joked making Eloise laugh.
"Better still,use the great fortune on you and I will be happy"Eloise teased.
She always felt comfortable talking to mr fisher and she didn't know if she could one day accept the man.
Unlike her sister,Eloise wasn't interested in someone's class or which society he belongs to.
She was okay with mr fisher being a baker,she wanted a quiet and loving family if she was ever going to get married.
"Time to leave elo"Heather came back with the baked breads.
"I will see you soon Eloise"mr fisher smiled at her before waving.
The day everyone was awaiting came,Eloise and Heather were already dressed for the ball.
They were going with aunt Raquel surprisingly that Eloise had more doubts on the ball.
"How do I look elo?"
Heather asked staring at her reflection in the mirror,
Eloise was wearing her gloves when she heard her sister,she turned to see Heather through the mirror.
"You look beautiful Heather"she complimented.
Heather was dressed in the red gown,her brown hair was tied and she wore a fancy necklace which she had saved a fortune to buy.
"Let's go before aunt Raquel changes her mind"Heather stated.
Both girls headed out afterwards with Heather's dress getting looks from the maids.
"I heard about the king's only son who is a lord,hopefully I make him my husband"Heather whispered to Eloise.
She was loving the attention the maids gave her,all were stunned and jealous.
She walked with pride like never before and felt more satisfied with it.
"Over dressed"aunt Raquel glared seeing them.
She didn't say a word and entered the carriage,Elma entered next.
"You girls are not coming with me anymore"aunt Raquel glared,she didn't like how they felt and looked high when they had nothing and were under her.
Heather and Eloise frowned,worried Heather begged,
"Please,let us go with you,you said we could"tears almost spilled from her eye.
Eloise held her back as aunt Raquel rolled her eye and ordered the carriage to leave with Elma smirking at them.
"What are we going to do elo?"Heather asked worriedly,
"You can come with me"
They heard the voice behind,
Stood the butler and their cousin,Eric who had spoke.
Eloise and Heather greeted him,
"Forgive my mother's behavior,I'm heading to the castle too,you can come with me"
He turned to the butler who nodded and left their side.
"Thank you"Eloise smiled at him.
Eric wasn't always around,he spent his time in work. Eric was an official,someone involved in the matters regarding Grezeel,he was part of people who made rules in the land before handing them to the king.
Eloise held heather's hand as they got to the castle,she was nervous same as her sister.
Eloise was always confident but right now she felt insecure and was more nervous than ever getting to the castle.
They stepped down from the carriage as their eyes moved around to see other people in their fancy dresses,elites all around.
The castle was rather dull,it was grey in color but the designs and people made it look astounding and grand.
The guards who stood greeted Eric and they entered the castle.
Eloise looked around the castle and felt out of place but she turned to see her sister who was amused.
Heather had her own dream she felt she would succeed today,her eyes roam around the men around.
Soon a gentleman approached her,
"Good day my lady"
