I
This is her fourth day in this room and that blue-eyed man never comes back since the last time that he visited her in this room. She shrugged her shoulders. Although he finds the man gorgeous, her purpose for coming here is their King, not him.
While thinking about what to do in case the blue-eyed man will try to kill her, she heard some knocks on the door. It is the middle-aged woman again.
“Mademoiselle, you have to be ready. Please freshen up. In a while, our beautician will be coming in to prepare you for a big event.” She said while smiling then excused herself from her thereafter.
Asalea wondered what event the woman was referring to and why she needed to attend it. Nonetheless, she followed the woman’s advice and took a quick shower.
She was drying up her blond long curly hair when the beautician arrived. She is a young woman with a colorful face and fingernails.
“Are you ready to be the most beautiful woman tonight?” the beautician admiringly looking at her asked.
Asalea just shrugged off and took her seat in front of the mirror.
She closed her mouth and decided not to talk while the beautician was fixing her hairdo. After giving her hair queen hair-like style and adornment, the beautician followed by doing her make-up. Asalea remained silent. She does not want to ask. She will just go with the flow.
“Gosh, you are perfect!” The beautician’s eyes are glowing in delight while looking at her.
“Finished?” Asalea asked.
“Yes, yes. The fashion designer will be coming next to bring your gown Madam.” She smiled and after giving her a last glance, she hurriedly walked out of the room.
Asalea looked at her face in the mirror. Indeed, she is beautiful. The hairdo really fits her facial shape and the make-up truly enhanced her beauty.
She heard another knock on the door and thereafter a tall pretty lady with a black long gown in her hand and a paper bag came inside the room.
“She must be the fashion designer,” Asalea murmured.
The fashion designer looked at her and nodded approvingly of what she saw.
“It’s time to wear your gown Madam. Here it is.” The fashion designer came near and unzipped the back of the elegant black long serpentine tube-style gown. The upper part of the gown is adorned with black diamonds. They are flashing when lights are hitting them.
“Wow, this is beautiful,” Asalea exclaimed when the dress fitted her body well.
“Because you are so beautiful Madam. By wearing this dress, you made it more beautiful and elegant.” She clapped her hands in full satisfaction then got a shoebox inside the paper bag and a jewelry box.
The fashion designer asked Asalea to sit down so that she can put on her high-heeled shoes to her feet. She put next to a pair of red diamond necklace and earrings to Asalea.
