There was a thin echo in Isabelle's ears as they awoken her subconsciousness. Her lids fluttered, but didn't open immediately, not until a hand tapped her. "Confessor. Confessor" the voice was gentle. Isabelle opened her eyes blearily and found someone sitting in front of her,staring into her face. Her vision was blur at first, but little by little, the face of the lady became clear and she realized it was Mia. "Hey, confessor. You need to wake up. Remember, I golf you you'd be commencing work today" Mia said gently, but it took Isabelle sometime before she was able to digest the current situation.Her head was muzzy and she tried to remember....The memories from the previous night came flashing into her head and they scared the hell out of her. She could remember the King ordering her out of his room, and when she tried to, she ended up passing out. What happened after that....it

 Isabelle followed the young princess to wherever it was she was taking her. They walked for a long time, two guards behind them and walking through a hallway,,they stopped in front of a room. The princess opened it and went in and Isabelle followed "You wait here, while I get ready", she instructed Isabelle and walked into an inner room, a separate room. Isabelle thought of sitting on the bed since she was tired, but she tried not to. The princess was quite troublesome - she knew. Besides, she's been through worst before. She thought of sitting on the floor but, no. She didn't want to look weak or low. Suddenly, the door opened and Isabelle turned to have a look. It was a young woman - royally dressed. And Isabelle didn't need anyone to tell her it Was Madame Hapitha - Rayna's mother and the King's aunt. There was a stun look on the woman's face that startled Isabelle."What're you doi

 "Confessor! Confessor!" Isabelle heard her name in her deep sleep and fluttered her eyes open. It was the maid - Mia. "Wake up,,confessor. Sorry to disturb you, but we have some work to do in the kitchen" Mia's timid voice came again and she forced her eyes open. Oh! How exhausted she was. She grumbled and sat up, looking through the window. It was evening. How long did she sleep?"Come on, confessor. Just a few more hours and we're done for today" Mia urged her and stood up and Isabelle did same as well. "What else is to be done in the kitchen?" Isabelle asked as they walked out of the room. "Just a few things to fix. Don't worry, we'll be done in less than a minute". Isabelle didn't respond but walked quietly beside her. And after a long walk, they got to the Royal kitchen. Finally - Isabelle grunted in her heart. She could hardly wait. The maids

 Isabelle woke up the next morning to the sound of Mia calling her."Confessor. Confessor", she tapped her leg and Isabelle's eyes forcefully opened. Ugh! Why does she always have to be her alarm? She was getting tired already. "There's so much to do at the kitchen, confessor. King Miley would be coming to the palace today and the King needs enough food ready", Mia said and instantly, Isabelle sat up with a full force. Whaat?? King Miley!??Her eyes dimmed. "How...How did you know?" She asked anxiously, arousing a little suspicion from Mia. "The news is all over, confessor"Oh, creators! Isabelle felt her heart beating heavily. King Miley was coming to the palace. He was coming to get her!!"Do you know why....He's coming?" She asked but Mia shook her head negatively. Oh!! This wasn't funny. Really not funny. She touched her nape

 Few minutes later, a guard showed up on the kitchen, looking for Isabelle. "Come with me" he said. "The princess wants you". Oh! Perfect. She was really looking for a distraction; something to take her mind away from here.She left what she was doing and followed the guard, her head bowed throughout the walk. Sh was so worried; panicked. Whatever King Miley might have discussed with Caesar, she badly wanted to know. They walked for a long time and she was so deep in thoughts that she wasn't paying attention to her direction. She bumped into someone - the prince!! Madame Hapitha's son!!!Oh creators!!"Watch it!" His voice was harsh as he gawped at Isabelle who bent her head immediately. "I'm so sorry, my prince. Please forgive me. I wasn't being careful" she apologized immediately. He was having too much on her had already and didn't want to add to it.
