Chương 236: The ball (2)

"You look lovely, Your Majesty. You will be the diamond at the ball as no one can compare to your beauty," Daisy said. This was her greatest work yet with how she dressed the queen for the ball. 

With all the depressing talk about the queen not having a child, Daisy thought to work extra hard tonight to dress Hazel up so the queen would be ready to enjoy the ball. 

"Thank you, Daisy. All of you," Hazel added the others as they all had a hand in preparing her. "Hopefully, the ball will go as planned. The king will be by my side all night so you don't need to be so near. If you are asked to dance, I permit you to accept."

Standing on the sideline with the other maids as Daisy tended to Hazel, Julia thought Hazel's words to be a joke. They weren't dressed up for the ball as they had to work and should they join the guests to dance, they would receive bad looks. 

'She wishes to embarrass us,' Julia thought.
