I spent my next 2 years getting to know the prince's likes and dislikes, his rules that I must obey, and he didn't let me go alone on errands. I wasn't shy around him anymore either. He turned out to be nicer than he looked. He wouldn't say things with emotion in his voice, but his eyes said otherwise. I grew to be okay with my new situation as the days passed.
When I woke up the next day, Maria showed me how I would spend my days. When I first woke up, I was to check on him, and see if he needed anything. Next, I would take a shower. He had soaps that he wanted me to use everyday twice a day. It smelt of lemons. He had a tub, and a shower you could sit in. I preferred a shower. It felt good to have the water hit me. We didn't get the chance to take showers like this in my hometown. It's not that it wasn't available
