Keeping one of the biggest secrets in Hidden Springs history -- that the prince consort, presumed to be dead, had been brought back to life -- wasn't easy. Especially since his daughters had smiles on their faces that couldn't be wiped off.
Nevertheless, they had no choice but to try. As hard as it was, they even had to hide the truth from their brother, the soon to be King, when they met him for coffee at Han's Tavern and Café.
"Have you started writing your speech yet, Alexandra?" asked Crown Prince Sebastian. "I chose you to speak to the cadets for a reason."
Alexandra shook her head no.
Crown Prince Sebastian glared at Anastasia and snickered silently to himself. "You two...you two are up to something. I just know it."
Meanwhile, the next day it was business as usual. Anastasia went to work, this time carrying her notebook and her tape measure, to measure the dimensions of Jenny Lho's den. Ms. Lho worked at Vanderburg Hall and wanted some redecorating done.
So, Anastasia, being the perfectionist she was, took careful measurements and recorded them with precise accuracy.
"You want this shelf replaced too?" asked Anastasia. Jenny yelled in the affirmative from the next room.
This is what I went to school for, Anastasia thought to herself. With her wedding now in less than a month, she felt like she was in a good place in her life.
