We got called out for lunch. Olga helped me fixed my bed. I wont be needing my wheelchair anymore because Botkin said it.

Me and Olga headed to the dining room we sat next to Maria and Anastasia. Mama was nowhere in sight "Papa where is Mama?" Olga asked "Your Mama is sick her heart is Number 2" Papa answered as he took a sip of his tea. I looked down. Mama's health is in bad state i've also heard that the doctors were also worried about Tatiana's heart "Sofia my dear are you feeling alright now?" I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to look at him. I nodded my head yes and continued to eat my Salad.

Lunch finished Papa already went off to take care of Mama. Me and my sister's Olga,Maria and Anastasia sat in the library reading books "I wonder if they'll have robots in the future" Anastasia said."Yeah or flying cars!" Maria added "I agree but i think we wont be alive when they invent that in the future" Olga said. "Maybe... but our descendants will!" Anastasia exclaimed. Maria chuckled "Yeah if we ever going to have one" Maria said. "What are your plans in the future?" I asked. "I want to marry a Russian man and atleast have 3 children with him" Olga smiled at the thought "Me i want to have 11 children!" Maria laughed. "I just want to be happy in the future and that's it" I smiled.

We all talked about future inventions and how we want to live in the future if we weren't royals. To be honest our imaginations are far from reality we will most likely marry foreign Prince's and be a Queen of a country. I dont want to be a Queen of another country i want to be an Author about life as a Grand Duchess. Like just imagine one day i'll see myself in a book "Sofia Nikolaevna Romanova: Life of a Grand Duchess" i thought. "Are you okay Sofi?" Anastasia asked. I snapped back to reality and nodded my head.

"You know im quite hungry" Anastasia said as she rubbed her stomach. I laughed "But Nastenka we just ate!" I said "Yeah but that wasn't enough for me!" She wined. "Lets make sadwiches!" Olga suggested we all nodded in agreement and headed to the kitchen.

While making sandwiches Tatiana caught us "Hello my dear sister's what are you making?" She asked as she came up to us "Oh were making sandwiches because our dear Nastya is hungry again" Olga answered "Wow i'll make one as well that salad wasn't enough" Tatiana laughed. Aftter we made our sandwiches we sat down at the table and started talking about our future once again "Tanushka what do you want to be in the future?" Olga asked as she took a bite of her sandwich "I actually dont know i have no idea yet" Tatiana smiled "If i weren't royalty right now i would've become an Actress!" Anastasia exclaimed " Thats a good job " Maria complimented. "How about you Sonyechka what would you want to be if you weren't a Grand Duchess right now?" Anastasia asked "I would be an author i have many ideas in mind" I answered.

We were all taking about the jobs we wanted to get if we weren't Royalty right now. Grand Duchess and Tsarevna are just words we are still normal people but with a higher rank. "Excuse me your highnesses but your mother would like to see you right now" Anna Vyrubova said. We cleaned up the tables and headed to Mama's sick room.
