The next morning, Damien woke me up with a few maids. 

They quickly surrounded me and began undressing me and brushing my hair as Damien went over my schedule for the day. 

"Edward would like you to have breakfast here on your balcony while you write your lines. Then he requested that we visit the library and have you explore the books and various artifacts his family has collected. He insisted that you looked over his family tree and try to memorize at least ten names to faces. Then, we have lunch with him and a chess exposition with some of his cousins from Russia who were very excited to meet you. After lunch, you will have a fitting for your ballgown to wear tonight, and finally we will meet Edward in the garden at four pm sharp for him to show you them, and then we will have you come back and get ready for the Christmas ball, any questions?" Damien said, 

"OH MY GOODNESS!" I said to Damien, he shushed me while some of the maids doing my makeup gave me dirty looks, 

"Doll, don't yell" he scolded me,

"Merry Christmas Eve Damien!" I told him,

"We have to skip the library, I need you to get me paints!" I told him, 

"Why?" He asked,

"I need to paint his present! Oh NO! I have to write these lines immediately!" I told him, 

"Uh, how long will this take, say if I hypothetically could let you paint" Damien asked, 

"I only need an hour, maybe two, but I can write my lines very quickly" I told him, giving him puppy dog eyes. 

"Fine, but hurry" He told me, 

The maids began dressing me, 

"Oh no, Damien, do I have to wear this?" I asked him, Edward had picked out a victorian style pink poofy dress for me. 

"Non-negotiable" Damien said, walking away. I rolled my eyes. 

"Don't laugh at me" I warned, "I look like a child doll" I said, Damien re-entered the room and smiled. 

"You look beautiful, young, yes, but you are young. The king has great taste." He said, I blushed at his compliment, thinking back to last night. 

A lavish breakfast was set out for me with all of my favorite foods. My balcony overlooked a large lake and some of the castle's garden were to my left. It was breath-taking, too bad I had to write I was a naughty little girl a hundred times. 

I wrote the lines neatly and quickly, luckily my time at the Academy had built up resilience in my note-taking skills. I apparently had done the lines a whole hour faster than Edward thought it would take. 

Damien and I rushed over to the castle's built in art studio. It had been a relatives room, but had not been used in decades. Damien promised everything I could ever need would be in that room. 

He was right. 

The art room was kept in great condition. A big canvas was even set up with paints and brushes already out, 

"I had the maids set it up for you" He told me,

"Damien, thank you" I said, 

"What will you paint?" He asked,

"It's a surprise" I winked, "Now out!!" I said to him. 

I painted very quickly, fortunately, this was also one of my speed specialities. The paints and brushes were of the highest quality, absolutely nothing like the ones from the orphanage. I couldn't quite remember how I learned to paint, but I was quite good. I finished the piece with two minutes to spare, and left to join Damien in the hall.
