chapter 2

"oh so sorry for the interruption ma'am, I should have asked you earlier, what would you like to give your biography as its title, if you have any in mind. You can think of one later.." the biographer turned red as a ripened tomato.

The queen giggled, "it's alright", she went into deep thought and stared at the ceiling, "Double Sold shall it be." The princess and the biographer were astonished by the title.

Third-person pov:

It was a very busy day in the main Hanover manor, joyful decorations were installed inside preparing for the wanted day. Maids running around at a fast pace, some yelling 'the ribbons, bring the ribbons', others say check the storage' from how they are moving and the loud noise they are making in the process makes you feel you are in a busy beehive. The main lady-in-waiting and head butler were supervising very carefully from above stairs.

"Sire will arrive by afternoon and they still have not finished the decorations yet." the head butler James, is the senior headmaster of all workers and the adviser of the Earl.

"We are almost ready, tonight's ball will be a big success. the food and drinks are completed, just this room's decoration is still in the process. " the head maid Lilly, Jame's wife said turning to face him.

"but-"

"our master ordered us to make it the most beautiful ball in the history of the Hanover house. which is in a fact the most beautiful and biggest one so far. plus, ordered us to make it perfect and take our time. the ballroom is big and vicious so we need to make adjustments to the decor." she cut him while adjusting his tie and winked.

"true. but I suggest increasing the pace and becoming the fastest crew in history along with the ball." He turned red and started walking down the stairs.

"for this idea, I agree with you. let us lend them a hand and fasten up" Lilly followed her husband down the stair.

fast-forward, the deterioration set is completed before the afternoon.

"Excellent job, everyone." James cleared his throat with a high-classy clap.

"Have a rest. As tonight is going to be a lively one." Lilly cross her arms and gestured toward the labor room. The room was full of tasty drinks, juices, and mouth-watering lunch. "a treat from the Earl to his well-mannered servants" Lilly smiled towards the hired servants, maids, butlers, kitchen crew, and the garden crew.

"Keeping up in this manner will certainly increase your salary and with special gifts" crossed his arms, James.

Some smiled and whispered with awes even some had tired of joy. They walked towards the food and started eating. The room had chairs and small tables, each had a small group and soon the room was full of noise but this time instead of pain and labor it was of joy and happiness. Sure working in a big major manor was stressful but the Earl and the Countess are generous people with big hearts, no crew had ever spoken badly about them or faced bad treatment. Now, with a newborn coming into the family, especially from the favorite daughter of the Earl, it was enough reason to celebrate with a big ball and gift every one serving the House.

The car of the Earl just parked outside and the Lord was astonished by the decoration his house was shining. "wow, it's like a brand new place. Excellent my friends, you really hit the nail well" a medium height man with a good build walked to the main hallway. Followed him a decent clothed woman with short curly blonde hair. "oh my! The guests will be thrilled"

James and Lilly ran towards the Earl and his wife, "excuse us my Lord we wear taking a break in the room" Lilly wiped her lips with a napkin

"The voices in the room are like a beehive, we couldn't hear your car parked sire" James blushed out.

The earl laughed and the countess smiled "I am so happy that this house, this manor is lively as usual."

"agreed my darling, our grandchild is blessed for sure. Let us go prepare ourselves for the ball tonight" the earl nodded, "take your rest when we need you will call for you. You need to rest." the countess grasped her husband's arm and walked up the stairs. They were giggling with happiness.

Time passed and the guests were arriving at the manor, 'wonderful', 'how beautiful' many awes can be heard. All of the staff were wearing matching butler's suites and serving sparkling wine, which is quite lavish as sparkling wine is luxurious only rich of the rich can have a sip of it but it a nothing compared to the joy that the birth of his longing grandchild a son or a daughter it never did matter at all to the family. The Earl was greeting the high officials while the countess was greeting the aristocratic women.

"Oh the Lord! your excellency, you look heavenly!" a tall mid-aged woman wearing a blue formal dress walked opening her arms towards the countess, both women giggled and kissed, "Hello Nancy, it's a pleasure seeing you again. Dear, I thought you were in Paris." the countess gave her a cup of wine.

"Indeed Alice but you see they are boring." Nancy whispered and took a sip "I fetched the journey and came as fast as possible to meet my grand niece." both giggled, and the countess shocked her head "oh sister oh you still as you are never changed", Nancy grinned with showing her white teeth, "nope not a bit. between how is my darling Scarlett doing and the baby? I must pay her a visit tomorrow, as you see before I get caught." she burst in laughter, "thank you, Lord! I am so happy."

Meanwhile, in a small gothic style manor with deep blue color and cream, the baby's cries were echoing. "Hush, my baby, hush. Mommy's here" said a woman wearing a pastel pink nightgown holding the baby to her chest gently messaging her. The baby calmed down crashing its mother's finger with bright hazel eyes and pinkish cheeks the baby smiled, "you are a gorgeous baby, are you not my Rosie" a man with black hair and nightwear walked in holding a purple blanket. He kissed the mother and the baby, "my beautiful family. I love you so much".
