The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1648

Arabella lifted her gaze and said with a polite nod, "Your Highness, if you desire it, I will do my best to make it happen."

Though it wasn't her area of expertise, she was willing to give it a try.

"That's wonderful." Princess Leah replied with a charming smile, "I'll have someone draft a list for you to work from. Let's exchange contact information. Is Queen Abby the name you go by?"

"My name is Arabella Collins."

"What a lovely name. I know someone with the last name Collins that I'm quite fond of."

But she was aware that in Solterra, there were many with the surname Collins. Arabella was surprised that the princess would share such a personal secret with her. She smiled gently and said, "That person is very fortunate to have caught the eye of someone like you, Your Highness."

The princess smiled again, looking both graceful and beautiful. As Arabella finished her sketch, the two had grown more familiar with each other, and the princess happily linked arms with her, saying, "Let's take a walk outside."

As the door opened, the female bodyguard saw the princess holding Arabella's arm so affectionately and immediately said, "Your Highness."

She wanted to say it was unbecoming of her status, and if seen, it could tarnish the royal family's image.

"From this moment on, she is my dear friend, and there's no need for you to follow," the princess led Arabella out into the garden.

The seven or eight female bodyguards could only watch from a distance, never taking their eyes off the princess for even a second.

"Arabella, this is the place. Every time I look upon this scene, it stirs so many emotions in me. Could you design a few outfits for me with a winter theme in mind?"

Gazing at the snowy landscape before her, which indeed looked stunning, Arabella felt new ideas spark to life in her mind, especially with the princess's striking beauty as inspiration.

Suddenly, several objects fell from above. Arabella instinctively pulled the princess to her side and kicked the objects away.

"I have other matters to attend to, but I promise to come back another time to join you, Your Highness."

Princess Leah seemed a bit disappointed but did not press further. She escorted Arabella herself to the castle gates.

Numerous bodyguards closely guarded her, and a contingent of security guards followed. Once outside the castle, they were even more vigilant, not daring to let down their guard for a moment.

After bidding farewell, Arabella got into her car and drove away from the castle, slowly disappearing into the distance.

Upon returning to her hotel, Arabella designed some other styles for different occasions, inspired by the winter scenery. After finishing the designs, she sent them all to the princess to review.

Since the princess had specifically requested that Arabella personally create the outfits, she compiled a list for her team to prepare the fabrics, accessories, and other materials in advance.
