Princess Violet has a rare gift; she is able to see beyond the natural eye. It has been so since her parents died. Her worldview crumbles when an injury sets her back from the future she had always thought was set in stone.

Everything was moving in a fast blur, and Violet was not sure she had worked so much in her entire life.
Sure, she had been raised as a Princess, but, she had been trained to like the mundane.
But this was on a different level. Ginevra's fiancé was coming for a visit, and, "Presto" (Quick) was the theme for the evening.
Even the guards were hard at work. Queen Guilia wanted everything bright and sparkling—with meals enough to feed a century.
She, of course, was to take part in all the preparations. But, her back ached from all the efforts they had put in to get everything to perfezione (perfection).

Violet almost groaned. The housework and meal preparations had been quite an ordeal. And she did not mind helping Clarice. But, she found herself loathing another encounter with Mr Icy.
At this moment, I think I would rather face a firing squad. Why doesn't a household this large have more people to serve?
Remember Whom you actually serve, an Inner Voice gently reminded her.
