章 242: A Royal Dinner

The maids skillfully and quietly got me ready for the dinner with the King. They dressed me in flowing pants connected to a strapless top and jeweled sandals. Over this, they put on an opaque robe with sleeves that flew in the wind. They wrapped a lightweight scarf around my head, hiding my hair while still showing off my face. Luckily, this feminine looking scarf-hat will hide my bad haircut. 

After I was done, I took Simon's hand begrudgingly and was led to have dinner with his father and brothers. Ugh. I really hate acting happy with this monster. Especially after what he tried to do to me only a few days before. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a choice. I just have to keep this charade up for a few more weeks. Then I can escape with Dante and figure out how to kill Simon without being stuck in the same situation again.
