But while there, Kitty meets a freind named Cat, who's pretty,confident,and with her last as a Howard, she has the chance of becoming rich and going to court. When Cat and Kitty are together, they're inseparble, but when Cat gets the chance of being a lady in waiting for the Queen, Kitty is left alone, but only a promise that Cat will come back for her. And a year goes by and she does, but who knew, Cat became the Queen by that time. And with both girls at court,problems start to unfold, and an unwanted ending comes closer.
