Maid for me chapter 14 The sudden pain caused me to lose my balance and I swooned. “Mari! Are you okay?” Tara exclaimed in shock and concern. I blinked rapidly trying to chase away the hot headache that had enveloped my skull. “Hmm, yes. I’m fine,” I whispered to her reassuringly. “Liar, you can’t even stand upright,” One of the maids said worriedly. I looked around and realized that they had seized their conversation and were all crowded around me. I gripped Tara’s hand tightly, as she helped me stand upright. “I think you better go lie down,” Tara said softly. I frowned at her and looked at my uniform I was still washing. “I’m not done here yet,” I explained to her. “Leave it. Just follow Julie. I’ll take care of it,” Just the thought of spending a few minutes in bed, sounded incredibly pleasant and gave me great joy. I flashed Tara a grateful smile and let go of her hand so I could hold on to the maid call
CHAPTER 15“Don’t just stand there, serve them!” Vianna hissed at me as she shoved me out of my reverie and went past me to serve the nobles.I blinked quickly and followed her lead. The better part of the evening was spent with us serving nobles, refilling glasses, and attending to the whimpering noble women trying to catch Prince Scott’s attention.It was hilarious actually.I had watched Lady Trowper cough and cry more times in this single meal than she had over the weeks I had been attending to them.She would put a spoonful of food in her mouth and then proceed to cry or cough until Scott asked about her well-being.Some of the other ladies tried to win him over by barely picking t their food. I understood why he had been reluctant to eat with the rest of the nobles before, his presence almost turned the dining room to a circus.“I am having an incredible amount of fun tonight,” Vivi whispered to me as she inclined her head in Lady Trowper’s direction.I snorted and almost spill
Chapter 16“I’m so sorry your majesty, I I, It was,” I stammered in panic as I bowed my head deeply in apology.My heart pounded loudly as the extremities of my crime dawned on me. Some of the nobles cried in outrage and I knew they would surely have torn me apart if they could,“Have you gone mad girl?” The king asked me affronted as he stood up from his seat and began to observe the damage I had done to his clothing.“I deeply apologize your majesty. I didn’t mean to, the wine. It had pineapples,” I whimpered as I began to discreetly survey just how men I would have to take down if it came down to the worst.“Pineapples! You destroyed my dinner for pineapples?!” The king yelled enraged.I began to shake my head vigorously as I tried to backtrack and say something to salvage the situation.“It was me,” Prince Scott whispered softly in disbelief.“What?” The king asked in confusion.“She, the girl knocked the glass because of me your majesty. I am allergic to pineapples,” Prince Scot
Chapter 17I TAKE THAT BACK.He is a bad person. A very bad person. I paused in the closet for a minute to catch my breath.“Maid! Faster!” Prince Scott yelled from the room.I rolled my eyes and swore under my breath. It was just 10 AM yet my limbs were trembling from all the running around he had made me do.“I’m coming! And my name is not Maid!” I yelled back as I staggered under the mountain of clothes he had requested and made my way into the bedroom. I was sleeping peacefully this morning. The bell in my bedroom rang by 5:30 AM. At first I had ignored it and gone back to bed but then Neema had come banging on my door to yell at me for not answering my master and I had groggily stood up, weaved my hair, and gone up to answer Scott.For someone who didn’t seem pleased about me serving him, he was enthusiastic about making me run around.First, he had me assist him while he trained in the grounds outside. The cold Revillionain morning air had bitten at my face and rattled me unti
Chapter 18I sighed in satisfaction as I stepped back to survey my work. It was impressive how much I had learned in the last few weeks to protect my cover.Last week, I learned to make a bed properly, yesterday, I learned how to sweep and cleaned and today, I finally figured out how to old clothes. To say I was proud of myself is an understatement.Working for Prince Scott had surprisingly not been too bad so far. Yes, the man still made me want to scratch my eyeballs out and chuck a pillow at his head every time he opened his mouth but if I’m being honest.He wasn’t so bad once he realized he couldn’t get rid of me by overworking me.I whistled happily to myself as I picked up the clothes I had folded and put them away neatly in his closet. Once I was done, I stood staring at the room.Everything was neat and clean, for the first time in a long time, I had finished my work on time.Scott wasn’t in the room presently. He had gone to yet another meeting with the kind, probably to bad
PEACEFUL, THAT'S HOW BEST TO DESCRIBE the atmosphere. That kind of cold and silent peace that best seems to cling to the dark forest A lady dressed in dark robes was on a mission that night. She could barely see with all the fog, yet she stumbled as though the devil himself was on her heels while clutching her bundle to her chest. She ran until she burst from the entrapping trees of the forest into a clearing, where she slowed down for a bit, exhausted and happy to have reached her destination. The rushing of a river roared over her ears as the lady walked slowly and came to a stop in front of the river, where she freed her bundle of its wrap. The wail of a child pierced through the night air, louder than the chirping of the nocturnal insects. The lady took no care to appease the wailing, naked child as she hastily placed the baby in a bowl. With a heavy heart, the woman waded into the river and laid the child down. She stood for a while, gazing at the infant as she thought of al
TODAY WAS A DAY OF CHANGE, an emotional and mental change. The type of change that affects the atmosphere.It was a few days into the second week of December, the winter was wild and cold gusts of wind rattled and shook windows endlessly, yet snow had made no arrival.I felt it before it happened. It was like a low buzz of energy underneath my skin that seemed to make me lightheaded. Every time something of significance was about to happen, I felt it.I felt it before my dad failed to show up to my seven years old birthday, somehow I knew something was wrong.One day later, he was found gravely wounded close to Revillon borders.I felt it the moment my mother got pregnant: She lost the baby a few months later.I feel it now, I've felt it since this morning.I stomped across the room and back again, Almost out of my mind with anxiety, the strange feeling bothered me endlessly. It's hard to be settled when I have felt the buzz since this morning.The door of the queen's waiting chambers
When I walked out of the queen's waiting room, Kezira stood outside waiting for me. I did not have to tell her what had happened, she could read me as easily as I could read her. Kezira is my ladies maid, I wouldn't go as far as saying she is my best friend. I don't t keep friends but Kezira comes close enough."None of this makes sense. Her majesty just wants me to run away, what of my soldiers, who's going to lead them?" I asked Kezira in annoyance as I walked away from the door and stalked down the hallway.The ladies of the court knew better than to test me, they all walked briskly like scared kittens, eager to get away from the warrior princess before they experienced my wrath. Wouldn't be the first time. "Azura calm down, I think it's mostly for your protection" Kezira said as she walked briskly in an attempt to keep up with me. Kez is the only person person apart from my parents who calls me by that name."It was a rhetorical question, if you're not going back me up, then plea
