The Villainess

Chapter 9

JULIETTE

I open my eyes only to be greeted by the annoying sunlight. It's r****g my face okay?

I sit up from the bed and look around my room. I wanted to close my eyes again and sleep tight on my bed. But there is no way my father will let me do that. Today is the day of the engagement meeting between the Fitoria Household and the King of Oltaire.

So...

Today is the WAR.

*BANG*

I almost fell on my bed when suddenly lots of maids started to enter my room. I think 20 maids entered my room, I frown at them and look at them. They're not maids from Fitoria Household for their attire is completely different from our maids.

"What is the meaning of this?" I said with an angry tone in my voice. Okay, I can't help it okay?

"The King ordered us to prepare you for the engagement meeting between My Lady and His Royal Highness." Said the old lady standing by the window.

Okay, I know this lady...

VERY WELL...

Because I remembered clearly that she used to make things so hard and complicated for Juliette. She is the Royal Etiquette teacher of noble ladies that is to be the future queen of Oltaire Kingdom.

Mrs. Darlene Anne Kitson...

"Very well, please do what you must do," I said and Mrs. Kitson snapped her fingers, and all of the maids began their works. The others went to my closet, the others at the bathroom, and the others are doing something at my table where my makeup is.

"My lady, this way, please. The bath is ready, please see if it suit your liking." A maid asked.

She lead the way and I just followed her to the bathroom. I saw my white bathtub filled with pink rose petals floating on the milk.

But it's unusual that the milk smelled so alluring and nice.

"What kind of water is this?" I asked the maids.

"It is not a milk My lady, it's a very expensive body wash that makes your skin smooth, white, and a little delicate." a maid informed.

I nod and they helped me to get undressed. I get in the tub and felt everything is very comfortable. I feel like I'm floating and I feel like I want to stay in the tub forever and escape this cruel arrangement. I think 30 minutes and they told me to get wash so I did. They left me with my undergarments and then I went out of the bathroom.

Mrs. Kitson told me to get close to her so I did and went to her. She raised both of my hands and the maids put the corset on me. Man... I hate corsets...

"Mrs. Kitson, is it possible for me to not wear any corset?" I asked.

"That is mostly not possible my lady." She coldly said. I just sigh and allowed the maid to do whatever they want.

After for how many hours, I think or I think minutes they helped me put on the grand gown. It's like a wedding gown with gold butterflies attached to the hem of the gown. I must say It looks fabulous. A breathtaking one. And I think if I sell this it will cost me a fortune!

"This way My lady." A maid said and pointed at the table where they will put my makeup on.

I sat on the pillowed chair and they begin to arrange things. Obviously, they're not using my cosmetics. All of their cosmetics look new. First they made my hair a braided bun. And they left a few loose strands of hair. They put a butterfly pin on my braided bun and they begin to work on my makeup now. They applied a red powder to the sides of my eyes. And then applied a red tint on my lips.

Good thing Mrs. Kitson agreed to make my face light. Because as I remembered, Juliette ended up having a cake face in the past.

"You are now ready My lady." Mrs. Kitson said and lead the way downstairs where my father is waiting for me.

As I walk down the wide and spacious stairs of Fitoria Household. I saw my father looking at me with awe. As I reached him. He suddenly tear up which made me freaked out.

"F-father!?" I said panicking.

"My baby is already getting married!" My father cried out and hugged me tightly. So basically he's being childish and feeling a little regret when he's the one who formed this arrangement...

But he's my father so I cannot hate him...

"Papa, we're just going to a meeting. It is not entirely like I'm going to get married." I reasoned out.

"Dear daughter, that meeting is for your marriage with the prince." father said.

"Well let's just see later on."

I said with a wide grin plastered on my face...

Let's see...
