Catalina's POV:
We were still running towards the castle to warn them of the Regents' men and their plan
We approached the castle kitchen doors with Corinne glanced at us before she banged the doors
"Open the door!" Cor shouted
She backed up in time for the doors to be opened revealing to be Madame de Bosse
"What are you doing here at this hour?" Madame De Bosse asked, her right hand motioned to the kitchen
We had placed our hands on our waists "We must see the Prince." Corinne sternly requested
"And the Duke, Madame," I added
"I have warned you, you are never to speak to the Prince or His Grace." She reminded us
"Now go home at once!" Madame de Bosse shooed us
"The Prince is in danger!" Corinne informed her
"Along with the Duke," I added
"The Prince and the Duke have Monsieur Treville and the Regent looking after them. They don't need help from five meddling girls." Madame de Bosse explains, hand motioning before shooing us again
"We are not leaving without seeing the Prince and His Grace." Renee insisted, pointing accusing at her
"I forbid you from entering the castle." Madame de Bosse forbide us
We couldn't listen to her longer when she started "If you know wants best for..."
We started carrying her to the grass, shocking her
"What is the meaning of this?" Madame de Bosse questions before we set her down on the grass
Then we rushed inside in hopes of finding the Prince and his best friend
We closed the door and ran past the kitchens to the hallway when we saw Monsieur Treville and the Regent speaking
"We must speak to the Prince and the Duke!" Cor started
"And why pray tell?" Regent questioned
Corinne looked at Monsieur Treville "The Regent's men are plotting against the Prince and the Duke from association." Corinne informed, placing her hands on her waist
But the Regent gasped for a moment then he remembered "Ah! I see. You're delusional." The Regent assumes
"She not delusional, Regent," I disagreed
When Monsieur Treville looks at my sister "How do you know about this plot girls?" He questioned
"We saw it with our own eyes," Corinne told him
"And heard it with our own ears." Aramina piped in
"What proof do you have?" Monsieur Treville asked us
When we see the guards lowered down the crate that we recognized from before
"Monseir, inside those crates are actual swords that they'll use to harm the Prince and His Grace." I pointed at the crate
Renee walked in "We heard his men talking about it in town" Renee pipped in, pointing at the Regent
"Open the crates." Cor requested "You'll see." Sor places her hands on her waist as she looks at us
When Monsieur motioned the guards to open the crates the guards set the crate down, letting Monsieur Treville opened
Seeing that it was swords the left guard grabbed the blue-covered sword and inspected it
"Looks like decorations." The guard declared it
When the Regent walked towards the sword "That's because they are decorations" He grabbed the sword from the guard
"For the Prince's Sword Dance, ar the masquerade ball." The Regent explained then he broke it in half
"As you can see they are harmless." The Regent reassure
Where seeing that the swords were breakable, made us shocked to hear this
"Oh, look at moi. I'm going to overthrow the Prince." The Regent mocked us
Corinne looks at Monseiur "There are swords, real ones." Rinne tries to convince him
She turned to the guards "Open the other crates." She asked
When Monsieur Treville believed that we needed to stop making accusations
"Corinne, Catalina you two must stop with this foolishness!" Monsieur Treville sternly hand motioned
"But Monsieur Treville, we really saw them." I frowned before Corinne added, "They are plotting against the Prince." She frowned
"You got to do something." She says
When the Regent walked forward, earning our attention
"Yes, yes, thank you for either of your concerns but you two really must leave now." His left hand motioned to the exit
As Monseuir Treville looked at the guards "Escort them from the castle." Monsieur Treville ordered before sternly looking at us
We were shocked as did our friends
"Monsieur Treville, you asked if Catalina or I ever needed anything to come to you." Corinne pleaded
"Please believe us Monsieur." I frowned
"I extended you two that courtesy because I knew your father. But what would your father say if he saw you two now?" Monsieur Treville told us before questioning
When Corinne and I frowned looking down
"Stay away from the Prince, the Duke, the castle, and the masquerade ball. If you do not, I will have no other choice than have you all arrested." Monsieur Treville warned us
Causing all of us to be shocked when Corinne and I looked shamefully away from the Monsieur
I quietly grunted when the guards grabbed our hands and began to escort us out of the castle
Unbeknownst to us, the Regent smirked at this seeing that his 'obstacles' had been dealt with
As the guards were escorting us we heard Madame de Bosse
"You are all fired! If you ever stepped into the castle. You will be thrown in the dungeon." Madame de Bosse informed us, with hand motioning
We had screamed that they threw us into a pile of smelling garbage
And Miette followed then seeing the doors had closed on us
Seeing this made Rinne and I grunt in frustration before sighing dejectedly
We had no choice but to head back into our living quarters to retreat
We got up from the smelling garbage and walked back to our living quarters
"This is the worst night of my life!" Aramina complained, holding a small jar of jewels
She set the jewels into her trunk
"No one believes us, we've lost our jobs, we've been banned from the castle." Aramina listed her right hand and motioned to the castle
Viveca heard Aramina's listing with her hands out "And we smell like garbage." Viveca piped in
Before she grabbed her perfume and started spraying in hopes to rid of the gross-smelling
Renee turned to face us from her bed "So much for being musketeers." Renee frowned
Aramina's expression has saddened more "What are we going to do?" She asked
She turned to look at Viveca who answered Aramina's question "We're all going to go to our homes..." She places her right hand on her waist "And forget all of this." She looked down
Hearing them made us frown seeing that they were going to give up
"No, we can't leave." Corinne shakes her head
"She's right we can't just go home when there's still a plot against the Prince and the Duke." I agreed
Renee walked forward towards us "Yes, and Treville and the Musketeers will handle it." Renee informed us
Corinne extended her arms out a little, to motion in Renee's direction "It's what we've been training for" She tried to tell Renee
She looks at our friends "Why can't we protect the Prince and the Duke?" She questions with a frown
"Because we'll be sent to the dungeon forever if we step into the castle," Renee answered, motioning to herself
"But we're the only ones who know about the plot," Corinne argued motioning to us
"Corinne's right Renee, we swore that we have a Noble Duty to protect them, plus we've been ready since yesterday." I agreed
"We've trained to protect the prince." Corinne agrees with a smile
"Everyone thinks we're wrong." Viveca disagreed
"But we know we're right." Corinne disagrees
Aramina seeing that we're right in a way by her walked forward "Maybe Corinne and Catalina are right," She dramatically raised her arms "It would be dramatic, returning from exile to save the day." She touches her chest, imaging the thought as I smiled at her
She looks at us "Who knows the castle better than we do?" She knowingly asks them "We've cleaned every inch of the place." She smiles, placing her left hand on her waist
"The guards will be at the door waiting for us," Renee told her
Seeing that has made Viveca has a solution for that "So... we'll need costumes." Viveca went to grab a deep purple-colored mask from her mannequin "so we're not recognized." She smiles, beginning to wear the mask
"That's right." Corinne soon remembered what the dance was about "It's a masquerade ball. No one will recognize us wearing these." Corinne states with a smile
"We'll need four costumes. Viveca, think you can handle it?" Corinne requested
"May qui." Viveca answered, smiling "They'll be the most beautiful gowns at the ball."
"They must be functional." Renee suggested
"Why of course." Viveca agreed, going to the mannequin
"The second thing we need is the weapons. Ones that especially goes really well with our costumes." I said before looking at Renee
"Renee, you think you can make our weapons?" I requested
"On it." Renee confirmed, with a head nod after placing her hands on her waist
Aramina raised her right arm up, looking at us
"Everyone, does know how to dance right?" She questioned only for her to see our faces and our sad expressions
"Don't worry, I'll teach you two." Aramina volunteered
Before she's getting really excited about this
"Oh this is wonderful." Aramina clutches her hands in the excitement
"I always wanted to go to a Royal Ball." She clasped her hands together in a dreamily excited expression
"And save the Prince and the Duke," Aramina added, smiling reassuring at us
"Are we in?" Corinne offered her hand out
"Definitely in, Rinne." I smiled, placing my hand on top of hers
"I'm in." Viveca agree, placing her hand on top of my hand
"I'm in." Aramina agrees, placing her hand on top of Viveca's
"In." Renee agrees, placing her hand on top of Aramina's
"All for One! And One for All!" The five of us said in unison
