A few minutes later, while i was lounging in the shower and enjoying its warmth, someone knocked at the door to my room, i peeked my head out of the shower, “im in the shower! everything alright?” I hollered while wrapping a towel around myself and trying to dry my hair and body as fast as i could, i heard my bedroom door open and little wheels rolling in with heavy foot steps as well as heavy breathing, i grabbed a nearby gown, wore it, wrapped my hair in a towel, unlocked the bathroom door and walked out to see a young woman dressed in a modest maid dress dragging in my bags through the door tiredly.
She was a woman in her late 20s at best, i helped her with the rest of my bags and she walked to one of the couches in my room and slumped down tiredly, she was wearing medium height heels and took them off then proceeded to give them a mini massage with her hands.
Her pinky fingers had a blister on both feet, and her hands looked dry and worn but seemed to only need moisturizer, i closed the door, searched through my bag and gave her some then poured her some water to drink.
She thanked me and chugged down the water fast as if she hadn’t drank water in days, i poured 3 more glasses before she thanked me and said she was fine.
Then poured some moisturizer on her hand and gave it back to me, she rubbed her hands together applying it.
“My name is Megan, thank you for the water, it was a big help” she said with a cheery bunny teethed smile, her heavy panting still there
“Im happy your alright now, i really dont think you should be wearing such high heels to work though especially with your feet like that, you should get it checked” i said, gesturing to her feet.
She smiled and waved my worried off, “you could start by telling me your name kid and why you chose a room this high, if anything your just as crazy as i am” she laughed, she was adorable, she had dimples, black hair and amber eyes. Read this novel at novelping(.)com for the best experience.
It was hard to resist smiling when she did, i laughed in the end as if it were contagious.
“Im Avery, pleasure to meet you Miss Megan”, “Ohh sweetie, call me Megan, Miss Megan is too formal, and anyway im married so it would be a Mrs,” she said.
“My bad, im sorry Mrs- i mean Megan, its a pleasure to meet you” i stuttered.
“Its no biggie, just remember while your around here titles matter, be sure to ask someone what they want you to call you after they tell you their names, this place is filled with grumpy people, any promotion they get makes them snobby and feel more entitled to be called with a better title, that’s as close as you can get to old queenie” she said, i laughed and nodded, “ill remember to do that, thank you very much and sorry for you having to travel all rhe way up here, it was the only room left in the wing as i heard from Alice” i said, laughing nervously.
She smiled genuinely at me, amused but in a friendly way, “It’s alright sugar, you just have to stay on your toes and try not to get tired walking up and down but you are lucky to have the bell and can get service in here rather then your classmates having to walk to the places when they need something” she started, “so a win is a win, celebrate!!!” she did a mini dance, “what bell?” I asked in confusion, “the rope thing near the door, you just ring it and a servant will come to your aid” she said pointing to the rope, “ohh, i didn’t know what that was but thank you so much for the tip, uhh what are- what’s with the dresses in the walk in wardrobe and who’s are they?” I asked, feeling as if this was a rare chance i would be able to.
“Oh those are the old King’s mother’s dresses, he was a sentimental man,may he rest in peace.”, “the old King?” I questioned, “yes the current queen was the past king’s bride, she took over when he died 8 years ago and married the current king, king Fredrick, because of kingdom demands in order to maintain stability and ya-da,ya-da,ya-da”
“I see, so king Fredrick is not Mike and Jason’s father?” I questioned, “nope! And you should call them prince Mike and prince Jason, if you call them informally in front of the wrong people it could cause problems……for you that is” she warned, and i nodded in understanding although uneasy with that fact.
“Anyway i can’t stay too long, busy,busy,busy” she said as she stood up and dusted herself off, “enjoy your day and thank you for your hospitality, your very kind, keep that up because in this place kindess opens doors” she said walking to the door, “Alright, thank you again Megan” she smiled before opening, walking out and closing the door behind her.
I sighed in boredom all over again as i was left alone to entertain myself, so i decided to just dress up and unpack my stuff awaiting the time to attend the grand dinner with the queen and her family. New chapters come out on novelping(.)com first.
Decorating the room a little to my liking is one thing but there is no guarantee that the dinner will go to my liking, i can only hope for things to go well and for whatever the queen was before her ‘change’ does not snap into nothingness, from how Jason, Emily and Mike acted it was clear she was a ruthless women prior.
Hopefully now she has mellowed and grown from what once was, i finished unpacking and as if on que there was a knock on the door.
“Hello dear, it’s time for you and your classmates to go downstairs, dinner will be soon. You must get seated properly prior.” called out a woman on the otherside of the door to my room whom i assumed to be a maid.
“Im coming ma’am” i said and hurridly made sure i looked fine before heading to the door, ready for a new chapter in my life.
To be continued…
