"Logan is attending the party tomorrow" Fina whispered.
"Who? Snow asked as she couldn't hear him.
"Logan, the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Prince is coming here? Snow gasped.
"Yes, he is attending my banquet" Fina beamed with joy.
"I thought you were visiting the Palace for his birthday instead? Snow asked in confusion.
"Yes, we will visit the palace. But he will stop by here and attend my banquet and we'll go together with him back to the Palace" Fina explained.
"Oh, but why is that? Snow couldn't help but ask why there was a change in the arrangements.
"I think it was George's idea" Fina explained.
"Oh" Snow muttered as she finally understood why George was so important that she was made to serve all day.
"Prince Logan will be returning home after years of training in different parts of the world. The back to the palace would be too hectic without a stop. So George suggested that he should take a stop here and rest before continuing the journey and coincidentally it's my birthday so he'll see me first before the other representatives."
"Oh, I understand it now." Snow smiled.
"I think he should be arriving tonight" Fina stared into space as she talked about the Crown Prince.
"He is arriving tonight? Snow asked amazed. "If he is arriving tonight then why isn't any preparations being made to welcome him?
"They are trying to keep his visit a secret until he leaves."
"Why?
"The other regions mustn't find out that he met me before the selection at the palace."
"Oh" Snow finally understood the entire plan. The important guest that would occupy the special room was the Prince.
"You see why I need so many dresses?
"Yes, I see and I also see why you...." Snow pointed at the closed door to signify how secretive she was about the whole thing.
"Yes," Fina smiled.
"You want to dress beautifully for Prince Logan, right?
"Right" Linda replied with a huge grin plastered on her face.
"Oh, you're blushing now? Snow tickled Fina. "So you already like the Prince?
"Who wouldn't like him? Fina smiled.
"Really? But how can you like someone you haven't met?
"I don't need to meet him to like him. He is just too perfect." Fina stated. "Have you seen his photos? He is like the cutest man I have ever seen."
"Really?
"Snow, I want him and I'm willing to go through any length just to have him."
"Woah, see who is tripping?" Snow winked.
"I can't help tripping, Snow, he is too cute."
"Wow, you're praising him so much. Is he so handsome?
"He is handsome Snow and he's got the best physique any mortal can ever have."
"Really? He is that good?
" He is, Snow, and that is why I need to dress gorgeously so he can choose me."
"Even if you don't wear all these you are still gorgeous Fina. You're the Prettiest."
"Yeah, I knew you'd say that. After all, I'm your friend." Fina kissed Snow's cheek and hugged her.
"No Fina, it's the truth. If the Prince doesn't choose you, then he must be blind."
"Let's hope he isn't blind then. Fina smiled.
"Okay" Snow nodded.
"So, help me pick something," Fina said, pointing at the dresses.
Snow looked at each of the dresses and she selected three.
"These will look good on you."
Fina tried them on and she also seemed to like them.
"This does look good." She commented happily as she twirled before the Mirror.
"It does." Snow smiled.
"You see why I asked you to choose for me.
"Yeah, okay" Snow shrugged lazily. "Can I go now?
"No, you can't. You have to pick something to wear too." Fina dragged her back to the clothes.
"Why do I have to pick something to wear? I'm not attending the banquet, remember?
Even if you are not attending the banquet, It's your birthday too and you must look good. Besides, Who said you couldn't attend the banquet?
"Huh? Snow was lost for words.
"What if I tell you that you are invited?
"No" Snow shook her head. "You know that is not possible."
"It's my banquet, Snow, I can invite anyone I want."
"Okay," Snow agreed. She had no strength to argue.
"Good. Now, pick a dress."
"No, Fina, I'm not used to wearing such dresses.
"You can start from now." Fina shrugged. "So just choose one. I won't take no for an answer.
"Fina ..... I..."
"Forget it, I'll choose for you." Fina looked through the dresses for something fitting for Snow.
"Fina, this might get me in trouble."
"Not on my watch. You can't get into trouble while I'm here, okay? Fina stated as she looked through the dresses.
She selected not one but three dresses for Snow.
"Here, try these on" Fina pushed her towards the inner room.
Snow took the dresses reluctantly and she headed to the inner room to go change. She knew that Fina wouldn't let her off until she agrees to do what she asked.
"Wow Snow!" Fina exclaimed as soon as Snow stepped out wearing the dresses.
"They look so good on you."
"Thank you, Ma'am." Snow curtsied. "So, can I go back now?" She asked impatiently. She still had loads of work to do at the Alpha's house.
"Alright... alright stop nagging. You can go back."
"Thank You" Snow was about to rush out but Fina held her and packed the dresses for her. "See you tomorrow Fina," she said as she finally broke out.
"See you tomorrow Snow," Fina shouted after her.
Snow ran back to Alpha Felix's house to resume her chores and as soon as she was done she decided to go pluck some fruits to eat. Since there is nothing else left for her to eat.
She was halfway to the top of the tree but for some reason unknown to her, she slipped and fell off the tree for the first time.
However, instead of hitting the ground as expected. She fell into something very hard and comfortable.
She slowly opened her eyes to see what it was but she was stunned to see that she had fallen into a man's arms.
"Who is he?
