"Lauralee and Lacey Light!" A deep, stern voice shouted in the large bedrooms of the young princesses. Muffled moans and yawns bounced off the dull stone walls as the two girls slowly awoke. "It's midnight, father. Why are you waking us so early?" A soft, beautiful voice danced out of the mouth of one of the princesses and through the air reached the king's ears. "You must wake up now and be ready for your first meal at half past twelve. After that, you must get ready for your lunchtime feast, which will be held promptly from ten to twelve, and then proceed to change again for the great ball to be held in your honor this evening," replied King Kyle in a firm, demanding voice.

Lauralee entered the large dining room and saw her father and mother already seated at the long table at the end of the room , Lauralee bent her leg and lowered herself respectfully, bowing to her royal parents, who nodded in agreement, and Lauralee began the long walk to the long side table on the raised platform. She sat next to her mom and waited patiently for Lacey. Ten minutes late, Lacey pushed open the dining room door and walked in without an ounce of respect. She was wearing a dark green dress, matching Lauralee's, and her black riding boots were barely visible under the dress as she walked and sat down. next to her father and bit into the food already on the table. Kyle and Quen Katelynn exchanged glances, letting Lacey's ignorant behavior slip today, because of the occasion..
