- Flexibility, Kaya... Flexibility. This is not the war you are declaring on the cup!
- I don't understand how you can be more flexible than that... Kaya grumbled.
- A princess must be gifted with flexibility and infinite softness...
Kaya put the cup on the saucer and opened her mouth to speak:
- No no no... The saucer and the glass must not make any noise... No tinkling, Kaya... Mirabelle cut her off.
- You know what? I need a break... Kaya said, already turning her back.
- But...you just took one not an hour ago... She answered desperately.
- I know... But it's not my fault you're so tired... !
Mirabelle raised her eyes to the sky and continued:
- At this rate, I'm afraid you won't be ready in time...
- I could always go without coffee for the next 3 months... Caffeine is bad for you, you know...
Mirabelle arched an eyebrow and gave her a hard but desperate look... Kaya was exaggerating, she admitted... She wasn't making any effort either, she admitted that too... But... She had a good reason. She didn't know that drinking coffee would require all this... She drank a cup or two every morning and she thought she had enough flexibility! Okay, she admitted that the sound she made with her lips as if she was sipping coffee might not please someone with refined manners but that's no reason to treat her like that!
Kaya picked up her phone and pretended to ignore Mirabelle. She was still offended because she had told her that she had horrible, commoner manners! She had said it with disdain too! It was not nothing...
- You've been giving me a hard time since I got here... Have pity on me...! She ends up saying.
- You are exaggerating Kaya! I'm just trying to make you perfect.
- By torturing me? You called me a commoner!
- You are a commoner!
- I know... I am not of royal blood but you said it with disdain!
- Lord, Oh! You are against me because I said it with disdain...
- That's a bit like it...
Mirabelle looked at her with wide eyes and Kaya pretended not to notice her... She was going to make an effort but then... She was exhausted for now...
- Majesty, I need your signature. And your parents are trying to reach you...
It was Lucia, Mirabelle's assistant. She was a redhead with brown eyes. She had freckles... She was beautiful but she was too nice... Mirabelle seemed to enjoy her kindness too... She had two crises today for almost nothing. Lucia had nothing to do with the second one and Mirabelle didn't even apologize. Kaya felt sorry for her...
- I talk to my parents and then we start again...
Mirabelle said this while already turning on her heels without waiting for the young woman's response... She wondered at what time she was going to let her go home...
***
- I am fed up... I am exhausted! Complained the young woman while letting herself go on the big sofa!
- Well... Time to go home then...
It was the first time she found it admirable... She got up from the sofa and took her things. She was taken home by the driver... She was so tired that she let herself go on her bed directly... She needed a shower, but she felt too comfortable between her sheets to think about bathing...
She ended up falling asleep like this... The next day, she got up very early and prepared a cup of coffee. As she had resigned from her job at the restaurant, she was free today... At least, that's what he thought because less than half an hour later, she received a clear message that Mirabelle had been waiting for her for an hour...
And she who thought she had a free day...
She had decided to ignore the message, but she remembered the delicious and extremely expensive meals she was entitled to without spending anything and finally left her apartment.
It was a five star hotel... A splendid hotel. The decoration was magnificent and the staff was top notch. She went to the reception and adjusted her scarf and her glasses before giving the name of the princess to announce her arrival... Then, when she had the authorization to go up, she entered the elevator and waited patiently until she arrived at the floor of the suite of Mirabelle... A beautiful suite with a splendid view. Speaking of Mirabelle, Kaya was sure she was going to make a scene...
***
- Miss, finally dare to show herself! Mirabelle greeted her coldly...
- Good morning to you too...
It seems that today she had much more manners than Mirabelle...
- Don't ever do that to me again!
- You didn't tell me you were waiting for me. It's not my fault... She said innocently.
- I'm not in the mood to argue with you... Today we're going to continue working on your table manners and show you everything that has to do with washing up... Let's get started...
Mirabelle looked her up and down before turning back to Lucy...
- You can set the table... Go ! Go !
***
- My daughter is not like me, you old snob. Don't look at her like that!
- It's all right, old fart! I didn't borrow your eyes!
- Fine, Old Bastard! We'll see who sucks your cock!
Kaya looked back at her mother, shocked. She had been right to leave this town... Mirabelle had given her permission and she had come for her father's funeral. She remembered looking at him in the coffin and once again, she saw him as a stranger. Everything seemed unfamiliar to her... She never understood why she was so different from her parents in both behavior and appearance. Her parents had copper skin and curly hair. That's why her fear often said that Kaya was not her daughter...
- Mom, I thought you didn't do this kind of thing anymore!
- I don't but... I can't say no to money...
- Mom!
- I need money to live! You don't send me anything when you're so rich...
- What?
- Your princess ways, An iPhone and a Rolex! And 30,000 in cash!
- You searched my bag!
- When are you leaving?
- Now, Mom! I'm going back to Los Angeles
Her mother begged her to stay, but she would be in Mirabelle's suite first thing in the morning. She left her mother some money and ended up jumping on the first flight before nightfall...
***
- How was the vacation?
- Well...
- Great. Today you will learn waltz and other useful dances.
Here we go again...
And this is how the daily life of the young woman unfolded from then on... She spent hours and hours receiving orders and prohibitions...
"Don't look at the content of the glass" "smile, Kaya... " "Stand up straight" "Do not put your elbow on the table".
It was annoying for Kaya but every time, Mirabelle reminded her of the 3 million dollars and she ended up obeying all her orders...
3 weeks had passed and she had done a lot of effort. She was doing so much that it was becoming impossible for her to eat a burger without wearing a towel around her neck...
- It's perfect, Kaya. It's perfect.
- I'm sorry... What did you just say?
Kaya turned and looked at Mirabelle with sparkling eyes. It was the first time in three weeks that she had told her it was perfect... She usually settled for a "It can go... Next time." - Don't shout Victory, you still lack the language of the fan...Mirabelle had said this with the shadow of a smile... Wait... A smile ?- Did you just smile?Yes... A smile. Mirabelle had just made another one. She was beautiful. So... She needed to smile more often. Kaya ended up smiling too. Even though she had spent a lot of time with Mirabelle... She still couldn't understand why she looked so much like herself... It was just amazing...- And if we eat... began the young woman.- No pizza, no burger, then I'm in. Mirabelle cut her off.Kaya smiled in spite of herself... Mirabelle wasn't that mean. She was simply too busy with her princess duties... - Ask room service to bring some food... I'll be right back. Mirabelle finished before leaving the suite.She grabbed the hotel phone and dialed th
- Are you okay? - I think so... I've never had anything so... spicy!!! I don't even know what this feeling is. I feel it running through my veins...Mirabelle had said this last sentence while shaking her body... Kaya and Lucia ended up laughing following the expression of the young woman... It was a bit funny... - It is the effect of alcohol... She looked at the glass and finished the glass in no time... Okey... At this rate, she was going to end up drunk. And she couldn't imagine seeing her drunk, although it would be fun...- Can I have another drink? She said with wide eyes...- No... That's enough. You're going to get drunk.- It was a request but also an order...- Mirabelle... No.- Kaya, just a little.- Okay. I would have warned you.She poured her some more beer and watched her drink it all without pausing. It was so amazing that Kaya and Lucia were left dazed, watching her...- Can I have some more...- Oh no!- My head is spinning, is that normal?- Yes, very normal for
- It's a lot of information to deal with you know... - I know but you'll get there... - So... Your parents also own a huge vineyard and that's where the wine for the festivities comes from? The vineyard is prosperous but as you are the only child who did not deviate so you will inherit the vineyard when your parents die... Wait... Why are you telling me all this? Are they planning to die in the next three months? Or are you planning to murder them? Mirabelle made big eyes and made a sign of the cross... She was Catholic. - No! I would never do such a thing... It's just so you have all the information... - Okay I understand... But I would also understand if you decided to kill your parents... Anyway, it's horrible of them to force you to marry a guy you don't know. - I do know him... We've met once or twice before. - So...? - So what? - What's he like? I'd like to at least know what he's like... And when were you going to tell me that you've already met him? - These are n
The young woman watched the large property widen before her eyes... It was much bigger than she thought... She had taken the virtual tour of the castle but she didn't know it was so big... In fact she did not know that it was so huge... She held back her mouth but her eyes sparkled so much that she was in awe... And when the car entered the big front door, she felt herself breathing another air, a much purer air than the one of Los Angeles... This role was really a dream... Not only did she become a princess overnight, she had a first class makeover, she got on a private plane and now she was going to meet a king and queen... For real. It was really something she had never dared to hope for. Even if she had spent her life saving, she could never have afforded such a luxury... This was really the chance of a lifetime...The young woman looked at the trees through the armored window of the limousine. There was a large garden with flowers and fruits. She saw a huge statue of her father..
This room could be double the size of her room and honestly, her room although a little luxurious could not match with this one... For a brief moment she felt like she didn't belong... It was kind of the truth because she was not Mirabelle... She took time to visit the room in depth, touching every corner... When she opened the dressing room, she opened her mouth wide in surprise... There were a lot of jewels more sparkling than the others and dresses, a lot of dresses arranged by color. She had the impression that if she wore one every day, she couldn't wear them all in one year... She looked at some of them and she thought they were beautiful. Fit for a princess... As she and Mirabelle were the same size, she was sure that all these dresses fit her... Her attention was held by a pink dress and when she took it, she quickly fell in love with it... It was long with a silky fabric. Extremely soft to the touch. There were like little diamonds that were probably real... It was probably
She had barely arrived that she was already doing stupid things... She was really going to get caught at this rate...- I'm sorry, Mother. For lamb, I can now eat it because I found a medicine that can prevent me from succumbing to my allergies. She said as naturally as possible.The king and queen looked at each other before returning to their meal. She didn't know if she had convinced them but they seemed to buy her lies... She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw them return to normal...- You should still watch your language, young lady. Eventually retorts the queen by giving him a dirty look.Kaya said nothing and just sat back in her seat. The dinner resumed quietly and the young woman finished her plate and without waiting for her parents to finish with theirs, she asked their permission then left the table...***- I hope you're not sleeping! Mirabelle's piquant voice resounded behind the handset.Kaya opened her eyes and gave a long yawn as she got up from her bed. A few seco
- I find you very imprudent, young lady...- I'm here, Mother. I had trouble finding him a gift.- Did you buy her a present? Asked the queen, smiling suddenly.- Yes mom. I bought her a present.They turned to see the king arriving. The queen made a sign to her husband:- Honey, come over here. Our daughter bought a present for her fiancé... It's beautiful. Do you remember what I gave you when you came to pick me up for our engagement?- How can I forget it my darling? He said kissing his wife on the forehead.Kaya smiles watching this somewhat moving scene.- Your mother gave me a linen coat... His father continued.- And he wore it every day for an entire year. He ended up damaging it and we had to put it in the attic. Continued her mother lovingly.Kaya widens her smile, taking care to look at them thus entwined. She found herself wondering if their marriage was for love or interest. If ever it was a marriage of interest, they had been lucky to have such a good life... They were t
He looked at the hand the young woman held out to him for a brief moment before taking it. His handshake was stiff and firm. He was crushing her hand... And she was pretty sure he was doing it on purpose... The young woman was trying not to let anything show on her face even though she looked like she was constipated. . -THANKS. I'm glad to see you again. Glad to see her after the restaurant episode? Or the mall? The young woman swallowed her saliva... He was really intimidating with his gaze which scrutinized her without embarrassment and his voice... His voice was cold, hoarse and curt. If she hadn't been in excruciating pain with her hand squeezing hers, she would surely have realized that she had never heard a man with such a masculine and virile voice... When the Sultan finally let go of her hand , the young woman sighed in relief. - I'm glad to see you, too... He gave her a nod. She waited until his back was turned to wince in pain... She was surely going to lose her hand...
