That Royal Betrothal

I opened the door to sight the other four ladies-in-waiting at my doorstep. That was their positions since there were on duty. I had to change this whole thing. It was nothing but punishment to stand on a spot throughout the day for a jobless someone. "Take me to Zack's office", I say to the four of them as two lead the way and the rest fall at my back.
