In the Kingdom of Valeria;A lady barged through the doors of the palace furiously. The guards were quite shocked when she did so. She wore brown leather trousers and a white shirt. She was holding a hat in her hand. She let her brown hair down and there was a frown on her pretty face. She passed by the living room when she heard her name."Isabelle! Wait for me!" Isabelle stopped abruptly when she heard her friend's voice."What are you doing here?""Can't I come see my friend?" The lady asked. "You seem angry?""I am angry. You can't believe the embarrassment I went through today. You know I went out with James right. We went horse riding in the open field. Well it all went horribly.""Alright what happened?""I found out that he has a finance. She was also going riding with her friends. They lashed me with insults. I was completely humiliated.“"What! You're telling me that a pair of lowly females insulted the princess of Valeria, and you're here whining to me? Can't you stand up f

It's been a week that me and Gwen started working in the palace. My task has been changed to cleaning. The butler of the mansion, Mr Gerald was the one in charge of rotating our duties every week. To tell the truth, I couldn't wait to be back in the the royal chambers. The other maids here were rude and annoying. Now I understood what Gwen meant."The flowers should be changed, each and every single one of them. They are starting to lose their colour." Gerald said. He was supervising the maids. Today, they were expecting the king of Barklull. The Kingdom was the second to Devon, In terms of power and prosperity. He was having dinner here in the palace and he wanted everything to go well. He knew any sort of mistake might cost his job. He placed a finger on a stool."Look! there is still dirt on this stool. Clean it again!" I winced a little at his tone. The butler was being paranoid! The stool was clean. I went to clean the stool and the other delicate items in the extremely spacious l

A carriage arrived at the palace. It stopped along the steps that leads to the entrance of the palace. The king of Barklull had arrived! He was a man in his early thirties, who was of average height. Mr Gerald stepped out to see that the King had arrived. Taking in deep breaths, he walked towards the king. He gave a very deep bow."Your highness, this way please." They walked in and he led the king to the living room. "His highness wil be here shortly." He waved at two maids and they came forward quickly to serve him. Alexander and George, his assistant stepped in."Alexander, finally you have time to meet me. I thought you were avoiding me.""And why would I avoid the king of Barklull?""Who knows?" The two men hugged. The two have been friends for years, though Carlos, the king of Barklull was older than he was, it made their friendship tighter."I understand, this war won't let you rest will it? I'm sorry about Edwin and for not making it to the funeral.""You shouldn't be sorry, t

"Did the man really do that? he's shameless." Gwen said. I immediately shushed her. "Quiet, someone could hear us." I whispered. Dinner had just ended and we were clearing the table."So? he had no right.""I'm not really bothered about it." I said and dusted the dirty napkin."I heard some of the maids talking about him. Some of them grumbled about him being here. They say he's even more unbearable egotistical than his sister." Gwen said."Who's his sister?" I asked curiously."Lady Vivian, weren't you aware?" It all made sense to me now. 'That's why he's like that. It probably runs in the family.' I thought."No I wasn't." We finished up and headed back to the kitchen. "Tomorrow's our first day-off. Where do you think we should go?" Asked Gwen."It's not exactly a day-off, we only have four hours to spend away." I started washing the plates"At least it's something. It's been long I've been in the village, strangely I miss walking on the busy streets.""Wow, I would never have expec

In the Kingdom of valeria;"WHAT! How is that possible!" King Darien voice boomed through the courtroom. Princess Isabelle winced at her brother's outburst. She knew that this wouldn't end well."We don't know. It was Vena kingdom who informed us about it. Barklull kingdom have already broken all ties with them." The minster of international affairs said. It was only him, the king and the princess that were in the room."When I thought we were already having an advantage over Devon, do you know when it happened?""No, but I believe it hasn't been a week.""Do you know what type of trouble this will cause for us? Barklull and Devon together, it will lead to a catastrophe. Even with our five allies, we won't be able to out match them." He said. He was starting to think hard. What will he do? Should he admit defeat? This wouldn't end well. He thought."I understand your highnes, I think...""Summon an urgent meeting with all our allies. We need to find a solution fast!""As you wish, you
