"Here in the palace, you have to obey some rules. I guess when it comes to you, you'll have to obey a lot of rules." The woman said, walking through a corridor.
"Let me start by saying, always obey whatever the higher-ups in the palace tells you to do, and that also include me." Said the woman, stopping a little to intimidate the girl with her eyes. The head maid knew that the girl was a tough one, but she didn't have any choice than to accept her, moreover she won't last in the castle, she's definitely going to do something wrong."And also try to give a little smile while working, your face looks too serious." The woman said walking forward again.Don't talk when you're not asked to talk, and I think you can follow that. When you're asked a question, give a polite answer and not an offensive one. The woman said, looking back at her.They finally got to a building, where the woman pushed the door open."This is the maid's quarters, it's where all the maids of the higher-ups in the palace sleep and get ready for their work." The woman said before she was greeted by some maids in the room."Good evening ma'am." The maids said their greetings and bowed their heads as soon as they saw the head maid."Good evening. This is Eve, she's a new maid in the palace. She's going to go through some practice till I assign her whom she's going to be serving." The woman said to the other maids."Are you all done with your work today." The woman asked them."Yes ma'am." The maids answered in unison."Ok. One last rule before I go. We have different Chambers in the castle, you must only care for the person you're serving, don't go to another person's chamber. You must not serve or be concerned about anyone you're not serving, if you don't want to get into trouble." "I hope you understand?" The woman asked."Answer me when I ask you a question girl." The woman said when she noticed that Eve was just looking at her without answering her question."I understand." She said glaring at the woman."Hmm. Your bed is right over there, all maids are to wake by 4 in the morning. See you tomorrow no I meant evening." The woman said before leaving.Eve only closed her eyes sighed in frustration after the woman left. She opened her eyes only to be greeted by different eyes staring at her."Hi! my name is Elizabeth but you can call me Liz." A girl said standing in front of her. " I guess your name is Eve. Right?" The girl asked with curiosity."The head maid just told you. Didn't she?" Eve said, moving to where her bed was, she sat down and felt the bed with her hands."Yeah.. my bed is next to you. You can ask me if you need anything." The girl said, feeling a bit embarrassed.Eve didn't say a word to the girl, she just stare at her in silence till the girl left her alone. She could feel the other maids looking at her but she doesn't care."I can't believe I'll be sleeping on this kind of bed. Just focus Eve, this is a small thing, you've passed through things more than this." She kept telling herself in a low voice.It finally became dark, a lot of maids has come to the quarters after their work. They all left for their dining room to have their dinner."Ain't you going to have dinner?" Liz asked, seeing that she won't even move from her bed.Eve looked at her for some time before replying. "I'm not hungry."You only get to eat dinner as a maid in the castle, meaning that you can only eat tomorrow's night. she explained, looking at the girl who has covered her head with a blanket. Noticing that she won't reply her, she left her and went to the dining room.In the dining room, the maids sat down and start to eat their food, before the head maid remembered the new girl."Where is the new girl? Didn't you inform about the dinner?" The head maid asked looking at the other maids in the room for an answer."I told her. she said she was not hungry." The girl Liz, replied looking back at the woman."She is not hungry?" The woman said laughing and repeating the word again as if to stick the word to her brain."Do we have a new girl?" A girl named Helen asked looking at the woman. She's the head's maid assistant and a maid to the queen, she also sometimes follow the head maid to serve the king."Yes. A new maid to the king, can you believe that?" she said smiling. "She was brought here by Mr Travis to be a maid to the king.""Slave to the king? Does he think it's easy? How can he bring a random girl and asked her to be the king's maid?" Helen asked getting irritated."Just eat your food Helen, we will have to do it, we don't have a choice." The woman said before continuing to eat her food. The girl could only sulk and continue eating her food.After eating, they all went to bed to get enough rest for the next day.The next morning.Early in the morning, the maids are already awake before the head maid comes to scold them for waking up late. The head maid walks in to check on them, she was about going before she noticed a particular someone still sleeping on her bed."Wake her up." She said to the maids standing behind her. The maids took some water and poured it on her face. Immediately she opened her eyes to see who has come to disturb her sleep."Welcome back." The head maid said sacarstically. "Why are you still sleeping at this time of the day? Don't you know you have to get ready for today's task?" The woman asked yelling at the girl who only stand there without moving. She stared at her for a little while before asking."Tell me, how exactly do you want to be the king's maid with this stupid attitude of yours?Seeing that she won't say a word, she got really angry and said. "I give you only ten minutes to get ready and meet me outside."She was tired of Eve's rudeness but because of a particular reason, she kept keeping up with her attitude because her hands are tied."Your highness your bath is ready." A maid said to the man who was on the bed with his eyes closed. Anyone who sees him right then will think that he was still sleeping but his maids knew better.Without saying a word, he got up and went to the bathroom to have his bath. The maids were already waiting for him in his bathroom for him to have his bath.Before he removed his robe, he took a thermometer and put it into the bathtub to test out the water."Who prepared this water? He asked, but the maids didn't reply him, they only shiver in fear. I asked you a simple question?" He asked raising his voice this time."It wa.. was me your highness." A maid replied him. She bowed her head and kept shivering in fear.Walking close to the maid, he asked. "Who sent you? Huh?" I'm asking you a question. He said yelling at her."No one your highness. Please forgive me." The maid cried, kneeling down to beg him.Then tell me exactly why you're trying to kill me. I told you all that my bathing water
In a cool garden filled with flowers, some trees and birds flying around. A man could be seen with brushes and paint, his clothes covered in paint and some sheets of paper were lying on the floor. He was painting the picture of a bird sitting on the tree. Shortly, a man and a woman entered the garden with some maids behind them."I told you, this is exactly where we're going to find him." King Henry said looking at the man who was painting.He didn't have to look behind him to know that it was his parents. "Why are you looking for me dear parent?" He asked facing and smiling at them.What? How can you ask us such question? "You're supposed to be having your archery practice right now but you're right here painting." The queen said raising her voice at him."Calm down mother. I can always do that later you know. Don't get yourself so worked up." He held his mother hands and smiled."Later? That's what you keeping saying. You're so far behind in archery and swordsmanship. Look at your f
In Ms Jane's room."Where do you want to see a new maid before tomorrow?" Asked Helen, sitting on the woman's bed."I don't even know. Young master is going to be so furious, he should really stop dismissing his maids." The head maid replied sitting on her bed.After a few minutes of silence. Helen looked at the woman and said. "I think you should send that new girl to him tomorrow." "No. Mr Travis insisted that we make her the king's maid, if he finds out we didn't do what he asked, he's not going to like it." The woman said, shaking her head in disagreement."I know he's going to get angry, but he won't find out about it. I'm sure that the prince will dismiss her even on a spot, you can make her the king's maid after that." Helen explained. "And also, when did you start caring about what Mr Travis will do?" Helen asked, feeling confused about the fact the woman is acting scared. "You're the head maid, and you have every right to do anything to the maids.""What? I'm not worried abo
"You mean that you want her as your maid?" The woman asked in shock."Yes, is there anything wrong with that?" He asked."No your highness, there's nothing wrong, you can have her as your maid. I will get going now." The woman said, bowing her head before she went out."What just happened? How can this be possible?" Eve thought getting surprised at what just happened.My bath must have gotten destroyed all because of you, but here's a warning in case of next time. I don't joke with my bath, you can ask them. He said turning towards Eve who was only staring at him.Eric went into the bathroom and have his bath, while the maids stood behind the door. He has specifically told them that he would do the bathing himself. "How can you do such a thing Eve." Liz whispered. But Eve didn't answer, she kept looking forward, into the empty space, she was so pissed at the head maid.It's all because of that old woman, I will surely make her pay. But first, I need to get out of this mess as soon as
"Oh my! I must have forgotten. How could I do such to the head maid." She said smiling sacarstically at the woman who was still staring at her in surprise."It looks like Mr Travis didn't talk to you well the last time. I guess he has to negotiate better when he comes to meet you again." She said before leaving the woman alone.The woman watched her leave and trembled in silence.Flashback.Mr Travis? What are you doing here in the maid's quarters? Ms Jane asked smiling at the man."Pardon me Ms Jane, I've come to see you." The man said."See me? What have you come to see me for?" Jane asked.The man sighed before talking."I have this girl of mine, who has been looking for a job in the castle so that she can support her family. What I want from you is just to make her a king's maid." The man said whispering to the woman."King's maid? That's not possible Mr Travis. There's no way a girl can just come from no where and decides to be the king's maid. The highest thing she can get is t
"That's right, special maid. As my special maid, you have to help with my bath every morning, the other maids can take care of the breakfast. you have to also follow me every where I go, and do whatever I asked of you." He said moving closer to Eve. Are you willing to do that for a common dream? He asked. She kept quiet and looked at him, she thought. "I guess this is what I can do in the main time, I will have to find a way to get to the king, but first I will need to accept his terms. I must do this on time to get revenge for my parents. So, Eve do this before uncle finds out.""I accept your terms your highness, I will be your special maid for two months, and after that you'll let me be the king's maid." She said with confidence. "Very well then." He said smiling at her. "You only take care of my breakfast from now on. my special maid will take care of the rest." He said talking to the maids without taking his eyes off Eve."Yes your highness." They said in unison before bowing t
In the maid's quarters."Care to explain what happened this morning?" Ivy asked, raising her voice at Eve. Ivy was expecting her to at least answer her question, but eve did not even bother looking towards her side, she was just lying on the bed with her eyes closed."Calm down ivy, you are causing a big scene." Liz held her hand and drag her backwards but it got ivy even more angry."Is there any reason why you don't want to be the Prince's maid?" Liz, turned towards Eve and asked softly. But before Eve could say anything, ivy said. "Are you kidding me, how can you ask her such question? Can't you see this was all her plan to become the Prince's special maid." She shouted at Liz."Ivy, just stop." Eva said, trying to stop her because all other maids were already staring at them and whispering things to themselves. "Don't you dare tell me to stop." Ivy said raising her voice again. They kept arguing with each other but Eve just sat down on her bed and watch them argue, she really doe
He walked through the hallway with his hands behind his back, and Eve following him. She saw some maids glaring at her as they were going. They greeted the prince but he did not answer them, he just kept going without giving them a glance. He finally got to a door which some guards were guarding.The guards bowed their heads, open the door for him to enter and closed it after they've entered.She entered the room and saw that the room was decorated with different shelves filled with different kind of books. It wasn't really a big room, but it was enough to call it a library.He sat on a chair with a table in front of it. He took a book from the table and flip it open without looking at Eve.Eve watched him in anger for sometime before she started walking around the room, she touched some books and opened some. She took a book and opened it, it was a book about art and painting. She turned towards him and said. "So.. no painting today."He thought he heard her wrong, he turned to se
