Genevieve
I stare into the mirror, but the person I see is not who I used to be. Her eyes hold such sadness and her beauty is marred because of this sadness. I don't know her anymore. Shes the kind of person that allows others to tell her what to do. I never prepared myself to have to marry a stranger...but she has accepted this fact. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be me again. Is it even a possibility?
A knock at my door makes me stumble out of my daydream. My eyes refocus on the image in front of me as I yell, "Come in!" To whomever stands waiting at the door. She is likely my lady in waiting Lily. My intuition is correct as she walks into the room. I smile softy at her, "How has your morning been?" She replies with a simple good and sets to work on my long dark curls. I sit there and endure the discomfort of someone else doing my hair and makeup for me. It makes me feel so useless.
After my makeup is perfect and not a strand on my head is out of place she ushers me into my dressing room. It is here that I am to pick out the dress I will wear in order to meet my betrothed. I could care less, but my father would likely be very angry if I were to not look my best. So I pick my favorite blue gown. It's corset may make me unable to breath, but the dress is beautiful. "I wonder if its too...fancy Lily. It looks more like I'm going to ball then meeting some Prince." She simply assures me that it is simply perfect.
I am then ushered to one final stop: The downstairs meeting room. I descend the stairs to where my father is calmly standing. I curtsy and then turn towards the door. His booming voice fills the room, "This is my Daughter. Princess Genevieve." I smile weakly at the people standing in front of me. I am unsure of what I am supposed to say so I just keep my mouth shut and curtsy once more towards the visitors.
