The Play 816Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bq4RAdLRb
That night Camila couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about what her parents would say if they found out what she did. "My parents would be so angry if they knew that I agreed to go with a man I didn't know to a play. I was sent here to find a husband, not to play." thought Camila. Camila didn't know what to do. Should she tell the gentleman that she didn't want to go anymore or should she just go. 816Please respect copyright.PENANATetmZz0309
The next morning, Camila found Elizabeth in one of the hallways of the castle. "Elizabeth, there you are! I have been looking everywhere for you." said Camila. "What is the emergency?" asked Elizabeth who apparently was in a good mood. "Where have you been?" 816Please respect copyright.PENANA5ozYEMiO99
"I have been with Antonius looking around court." said Elizabeth. The queen thought it was good for her son to show his bride to be where everything was. Even though it looked like everyone was pleased with Elizabeth, the majesties had still not given them a date when Elizabeth and Antonius would be married. Elizabeth then noticed that Camila had the face of a frustrated woman and asked, "What is wrong, Camila?" 816Please respect copyright.PENANAIIETodxIeq
"Elizabeth, what would you do if you were me and someone asked you to see a play with them?" 816Please respect copyright.PENANAKgwjVHHurq
"I would just accept. Why do you ask?" said Elizabeth while she and Camila walked down the hall. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAf7tja2ysaV
"While you were dancing around, a man asked me to acquaint him to a play. I don't know if I should accept." 816Please respect copyright.PENANAkUugv1miBk
"Who was the man that asked you?" 816Please respect copyright.PENANAcq7hYGMnVV
"A guy with short blond hair, blue eyes, and dressed like a noble." said Camila neutral for she didn't know why Elizabeth asked this. 816Please respect copyright.PENANALb5GBydaoL
When Camila gave that response, Elizabeth lit up. "That is one of the nobles that Antonius had told me about. His parents are rich nobles. He comes to court every year to see his parents, yet he never takes a bride. People say that he lost all the money that his parents had given him." Camila was shocked and didn't want to go to the play with him. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAofKtTOftl6
Elizabeth left Camila in the throne room to talk to one of the royals. Camila was looking for any sign of the mysterious noble she had met the other day. It had passed about five minutes when Lily entered the room. Lily was Elizabeth's other lady and was friends with Camila. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAqvJqr2oq5v
"Lily, could you help me with something." asked Camila. Lily stopped in her tracks and went to Camila. Back home, Lily was know as someone that was always in someone else's business and was a huge gossip. Usually Camila wouldn't tell Lily anything private, for she was a gossip. However, Camila was desperate for her opinion. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAtGaei0gh71
Camila explained to her the situation and Lily nodded as she did. During this conversation, Camila could tell that Lily was flirting with a noble. Camila secretly wanted to be like Lily. All of the guys liked her. She had fair skin and fair long hair that she kept loose. Also all of her dresses were almost as beautiful as she was. Camila on the other hand had brown hair and brown eyes. Lily had told Camila thought she wanted Camila to go with the guy, for she would regret it if she didn't. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAngPZ5MTK2N
Later that night, Camila came up with what she would do. She would indeed go with the noble and see the play. She would go to see the other nobles there. Maybe there were nobles that would want to marry her. Later that evening, the guy, who's name was Lord Reynold, had come to talk her to the play. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAkJm1qLe84X
The show was magnificent. Lord Reynold played the prince that had to fight money, deception, and power. The prince, Lord Reynold, had to climb the tower and save the princess, Love, at the end of the play. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAUcsZz74w2Q
While the play went on, Camila couldn't help but notice the king was one of the people in the crowd. The most surprising thing was that he seemed to be looking at her. "I most be imagining this." thought Camila. "The king would never look at a peasant girl just as myself." 816Please respect copyright.PENANABkJoKemJta
After the play, there was a grand feast that everyone attended. "You were magnificent in the play." said Camila to Lord Reynold. "I am not much of an actor. The others were far better than I am." said Lord Reynold. "Don't be modest. You were great."816Please respect copyright.PENANAkB09B6RW2D
Lord Reynold took Camila back to her chambers for the night. Camila was about to get into her bed when she noticed a box. When she opened it, there was a rose and a note that asked for her company to the king's hunting party the next day. Camila was full of joy of the thought of her by the king's side. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAuxw04O0V9k
Then next morning, Camila began to think straight. The king could be just treating her like everyone else he seduced. Every year he would seduce a woman and take her to his bed where he would destroy her hopes of getting a husband. Then, he would throw her away like garage. 816Please respect copyright.PENANAPwePlwWGTb
Camila pondered on what she would do. "I could tame the king. Maybe I would be the first lady he doesn't do that to." she thought at first. Then she thought, "Maybe I am like the other women." Finally, Camila said she would take the chances. 816Please respect copyright.PENANABpbG0yuwMt
