Your once blurry vision becomes clear as you find yourself lying down on a nice comfortable bed. You looked around the room to see it's decorated with fancy furniture and luxury cloths

You get up from your spot and immediately start looking for clothes to help you bend in more with the fictional world. You wear a plain white dresser shirt with high waist black dresser pants along with dark brown boots

You are just about to exit when the door of your room bursts open revealing a maid

"Baker, please make haste your presence is needed in the kitchen" Maid loudly whispers before running out the room

You immediately follow her not bothering to close the door behind you. You weren't clearly sure where you were but maybe if you saw more of the environment you might recall the scenery

You follow the maid into the kitchen where a lot of other cooks, bakers and maids gathered around whispering to each other. The whispering soon came to a halt when a short but muscular man walked into the kitchen, you immediately recognised him to be the King, the father of Prince or in this case Princess Charming

"Good Morning Servants" he greets

"Good Morning your Highness" the staff sings in sync

"As many of you know my daughter has yet to find a spouse so I'll be hosting a ball within a three days time to see who's worthy of courting my daughter. It is your duty to prepare the event along with food and beverages for the guests" The king orders

All the staff members nod their heads and agree to the King's orders looking slightly nervous

"Excellent now don't disappoint" and at that the King is off

You looked around feeling a bit confused as you just came into this story and now you're being pulled into this situation. As you're about explore a bit more a strong hand grabs your arm, You turn around to see one of the cooks

"I need you to go into town for me and get some ingredients for a dish we're preparing" he politely asks

"Are the ingredients not already available in the kitchen" you questioned slightly annoyed

"Unfortunately not and the other servants are currently preparing the ball room and guest rooms for the event so I'll have to task you with it"

"Alright then but I'm not the quickest at errand runs I'll have you know" You sigh and take the list of ingredients from him, He smiles and lets you go

You grab a small cloth bag with you and head out of the palace looking for the ingredients. After a few minutes you already found five of the items on the list and needed ten more, you looked down at the list once more 'three pouches of fresh blueberries'

You looked around in the markets and couldn't find anyone selling blueberries as you looked back down to the list to search for your another item instead someone bumps into you
