Chapter 23
(Day 2)
The day rised with the order of showing our not-so-beautiful faces for the breakfast. After many protests and a tug-of-war and a game of rock-paper-scissor with Emily, I once again was able to go to the breakfast in my casuals. The second I entered the room silence was the only thing heard around the room. Pin-drop silence or in this case more like knife-drop silence. Yes they would have murdered me through air if they could.
Everyone was looking towards me as I was some creature buzzing in air disturbing them from some great project. I took my seat where it was assigned with my friends. The royal family entered. The old Luna looked angry as she took in my very rich fashion.
After settling down we started with our meals. The old Luna had a sudden urge of paying attention to my presence,” Ms. Meredith, don’t you think it to be more essential to show up a little formally in the presence of of the royals. ”
The spoon of rice stopped in the middle of the journey between my mouth and the plate. I didn’t look up from my plate. I felt every eye turn towards me. I sighed and continued the journey of the spoon to the mouth. From the corner of my eyes I saw everyone’s jaw drop. The Luna looked even more angrier than before.
Before she could utter another word I heard a very matured voice saying, “Ms. Meredith it is very unrespectful to just show up with a rag on and to disrespect someone when they are questioning you.” After paying a little attention around I realized it was Catherine who was speaking. It was the first time I had heard her speaking I would have kept looking at her if my brain wouldn’t have registered what she actually said.
“You insult me, you criticize me but you have no right to speak on my fashion. I am here to please my stomach and not others eyes or their way of thinking. It’s my decision what I want to wear. I am not one of those people who wear tight corsets just for the world to see how malnourished they are and only eat vegetables like a goat who can be eaten by animals as well as humans.”
She looked angered. Before she could open her very matured mouth a very authentical voice cut her off,” Everyone is allowed to wear anything they want. Noone is been forced to wear a specific costume. I haven’t seen such rule being registered yet.” Everyone was shocked to hear the Royal Advisor Queen Diana speak.
After that I continued my journey of rice. Well noone dared to even utter a word.
