Catalina's POV:
It was the next morning, where the five of us had woken up from our rest, eaten our breakfast, and were dressed for the day.
After getting dressed, we headed to the castle where Madame de Bosse was expecting us to arrive there in punctual time early in the morning
Once we arrived at the castle, Madame de Bosse requested us to sweep the castle stairs on the second floor
We each grabbed a broom and began sweeping
After 30 minutes of sweeping, we heard the Prince's and his best friend the young Duke's voices
Out of a sudden, the Prince bumped into my sister Corinne before I felt someone bumping into me
"Oh..." I closed my eyes and opened soon after
When it was His Grace once more he felt bad for the moment
"Sorry about that my lady..." His Grace apologized
I was about to answer when we heard something hissing causing us to look and it was a small ballon-like object falling down
The Prince was disappointed about it once it landed on the castle stair
I smiled "It's okay Your Grace... No harm done.." I said
We soon heard the Prince's voice "Henry, we should go." His Highness said
Henry gave him a nod before looking at me "I'll see you around belle fleur..." he said before walking towards his best friend
Corinne and our co-workers gave me knowing smiles causing me to shyly look down with a light color that appeared on my cheeks
Before Corinne looked at the Prince with a smile as well which I smiled at her in return
When Madame de Bosse walked towards us "Never..." Madame de Bosse started earning our attention "speak to the Prince and the Duke." Madame de Bosse scolded us "Neither of you do not exist." She pointed at us before we looked down at where the Prince and the Duke were as she left
"Hmmmm..." I silently hummed as I continued looking at the Duke for some reason
Before Aramina smiled, walking towards us "Is he or His Grace not the dreamiest?" She asked with a smiled
While Corinne and I looked back to the Royal men with an unsure expression with an unsure smile
Then we heard Viveca's voice causing us to look away from the men and look at her
"Aramina, you think every boy is dreamy," Viveca informed her
Before Aramina dreamily sighed and continued adoring the royals as she rested her chin on her hands
I smiled and walked toward her causing her to glance at me
"Just so you know Aramina, His Grace is kind of dreamy..." I whisper to her causing her and I to begin giggling
Soon after we stopped giggling and continued with our work with us sweeping the stairs
We briefly listened to their conversation as we swept
Before we heard that it was the Prince's dream to fly causing my elder sister looked at him
Then we heard His Grace's dream is to sing throughout France and Italy causing me to look at him in silence awe
All of a sudden, we heard something pop and it was the chandelier falling down while His Highness and His Grace were walking down the stairs
Causing all of us to look up, gasping in horror
Before the two royal best friends yelped when the chandelier fell down, the diamonds and the glass shattered going anywhere
As the two best friends rolled down the stairs while the glass was heading towards us in slow motion
Out of nowhere, the candle headed to Viveca where she used her rag to break the candle wax into smaller pieces
then a golden medal swirled part of the chandelier and headed to Aramina who walked down the stairs kicked highly as she raised her arms upwards to break the medal into smaller pieces
Then a long sharp of glass, spun towards Renee who used her dusting broom to send the glass direction to counter it, made contact causing the glass to break into smaller shards
We saw 6 glass shards headed toward us which me and Corinne nodded to ourselves and used our broom to act as a sword and hit each 3 of the shards causing them to shatter into smaller ones
Seeing our skills impressed them as unknown to us an elderly woman from before: Madame Helene seeing this, smiled knowingly and walked away
Soon we see the guards, the Regent's confidante went to check on the two as the Regent went to check on the two
With the guards asked if the two of them were okay, the Regent wanted to know what was going on, but the Prince thought that something went wrong with the supporting rope of the chandelier, then His Grace wanted to request someone inspect the rope, and the supporting system for the chandelier, followed by the Regent begun walking away with the Prince and the Duke
After 10 minutes we safely walked down the stairs making sure that we didn't step on the glass, or the chandelier didn't cut us
Before the guards began lifting the chandelier and started moving out of the way, we were looking up at the ceiling of where the chandelier had fallen when Madame de Bosse walked over
Then she clapped her hand causing the five of us to look at her "Girls, clean this mess!!" She demanded, her right finger hovering over the broken glass shards as her left hand was on her waist
Then we started sweeping, looking down at the broken shards
When Aramina walked to a big piece, picked it up, and let it shine in the sunlight from the window after she raised her hand
"What light through yonder window breaks," She recited
Then she twirled to Viveca "Is this not the most beautiful thing?" She handed the large gem to her
Renee places her left hand on her waist "A broken chandelier?" She questioned in confusion
Viveca accepted the sparking gem from Aramina before placing it on her chest
"It does have a sparkle to it," Viveca stated, looking at the gem on her chest before looking at Aramina smiling,
As Corinne and I were listening to the conversation when something sparkled and gained our attention
Before we walked toward the sparkling item it was revealed to be a small pink gem
As Corinne kneeled down, setting her broom to grab the pink gem as we were curious about the gem
Then she stood up as I noticed the wall where it held the rope of the main supporter of the chandelier
Before I held the rope where it seemed that it was cut when Corinne said "Looks like the rope's been cut."
"but..... why?..............." I questioned as we looked up where it used to support the chandelier
"I don't know Lina but we should go back to the others," Cor said before suggesting
I silently sighed, nodding in understanding then the two of us began walking toward the three girls
The three girls looked at us with Renee placing her right hand on her waist, her left hand holding her broom
"Corinne, Catalina, where did you two learn to move like that?" Renee questioned
As Viveca and Aramina looked at us for our answers
We were scared of what would their reactions be if Corinne or I told them about our dreams
We looked at each other when I looked at the three girls
"If we tell you, promise us you won't say anything to Madame de Bosse?" I asked them
Where the three girls gave us a nod before Corinne spoke "Catalina and I've been trained to be...."
"A musketeer." Corinne and I revealed in unison as Corinne clasped her hand into a fist-raising it in a happy manner
Where we smiled closed our eyes, and then looked at them afterward
"WHAT?!" Viveca, Aramina, and Renee exclaimed in shock at hearing this
Before I and Corinne were nervous about their reactions now that we'd told them about us being musketeers
