BLUE
I was so very happy to see Cindy.
Luck is really always on my side
I’m not gonna be lonely anymore
We were still in our tight hug
Cindy : I miss you, miss you, miss you miss YOU so so so so much
We disengaged but still holding each other’s hands.
Cindy : how’s Audrey. I hope she’s fine. She’s still sassy and scary right? I really miss her, especially when we fight for food
I laughed happily
Me: Audrey is fine dear. She misses you too. She’s a waitress
Cindy : I’m glad you’re here Blue. Come on I’ll show you around.
She pulled me along and brought me out of the room.
We went to places she used to work and she told me what she normally do around the castle. We sneaked into places we shouldn’t go and hid from guards when necessary.
It was really fun
Soon it was time for lunch.
She took me to the servants dinning hall.
Really large with tables and chairs as if it was a restaurant.
All the servants eat their meals there.
Me: whoahh
Cindy : yeah right. Pretty cool and awesome. The food is really good. But this isn’t all the maids. Some still have to attend to other duties. So when this ones are through they can take over and then they’ll eat
Me: just like shifts?
Cindy: yeah. Just like shifts. What batch are you Blue?
Me: batch 3
Cindy : I’m in batch 4. Batch 1 and two take care of the lower floors while 3 and 4 take care of the upper floors. 5 and 6 are responsible for the outside. That includes the gardeners, etc.
Me: ohhh
I noticed that the uniforms were different. Some were red and white, the others were blue and white though that one was rare. The chefs, janitors, gardeners, etc uniforms were detectable and easily recognizable
Me: uhmm, why are they two uniforms for maids?
Cindy : red and white are normal maids, attending to anyone. There’s actually the gold maids, they’re very special. You hardly see them. They’re for the queen and sometimes attend to the king. You only see them when the queen is coming outside.
Me: and the Blue and white
Cindy : oh that’s the Prince’s maids, they only work in his chambers
What!
Prince?
Chambers?
Oh no!
I think Cindy noticed the fright displayed on my face
Cindy : what’s that face for? Tell me the color of your uniform
I relaxed my face but wasn’t relaxed inwardly
Me: ohh, uhmm Blue and White
Cindy : oh my goodness! That’s so lovely. You’re going to be working with the prince. But I think they hardly see him. I mean, they aren’t allowed into the actual chamber always.
I was so scared. Really scared
I think my heart beat could even be heard externally. I suddenly became quiet, I knew Cindy was talking but I couldn’t comprehend a word.
We were already at the vendor and taken our food already. I think the chef asked about me, cause I wasn’t on my uniform.
I’m sure Cindy took care of it.
I was just thinking of a way to dodge the prince. If possible not work in his chambers.
Lunch was soon over, I hardly ate anything.
Cindy helped me out
I decided to help her with the rest of her work.
We went to the toilets were the janitor wanted her to take care of.
We met the janitor on the way
Cindy : I’m going to wash them not because I’m willing to listen to you but because my friend is working here now and I’m so happy to see her.
Cindy hugged me and I smiled and pushed her away
I greeted the him
Me: hi sir
Janitor : hi. You’re welcome here
He smiled and I smiled broadly
Me: thank you sir
Janitor : you know what? Cindy, don’t worry about the toilets anymore. I’ll have other maids to do it. Spend time with your friend
Cindy : really? Thank you so much. Blue you’re the best goodluck charm ever
I laughed and thanked the janitor
We left and went to do other things
Next day, Derek called me and told me not to be nervous that the prince was nice.
I breathed in and thanked him.
I wore my uniform and headed out to his chambers.
I got there and a fellow maid came to me and showed me the manual and how everything works.
I was just to mop and clean everything with some other maids.
I thanked her and went to begin.
I began to mop immediately and clean some statues.
I admired the hall
So awesome
I really felt free
The castle is just full of beauty
I finished up and went to view the door I saw. The designs were perfect.
I used my fingers to trace the ornaments on the door when it mistakenly opened and I fell down in the room.
PRINCE ADRIAN
I just don’t get it.
What is Derek saying
He’s handing over the girl to me.
He wants me to take care of her because he never could
He told me everything concerning her from the first day he knew her till my birthday night when he saw her again.
He said she was dismissed along with her friend when he wasn’t at home and that he doesn’t know why.
Well the girl seems nice
But I really don’t wanna get involved with her
She might be a source of joy to Derek and Belinda but maybe not to me.
I went to the living room and sat on my long cushion facing the TV.
I was using my phone and didn’t concentrate on the TV at all.
I was frightened when my door opened suddenly.
I looked over and saw a maid lying face down.
Me: jeez
She sat up and rubbed her head then looked around
Maid : whoahh, so Blue. I love it
Me: excuse me
I guess she didn’t see me there cause she got startled, screamed and crawled back on her butt.
I looked closely
The Blue Maid
Blue: I’m so sorry Prince. I’m really sorry. I didn’t know it would open. I’m so sorry prince
Wow
She’s scared
But I’m not a monster
She tried standing up and I think I saw shades of tears in her eyes.
As she tried to stand, I moved up and got closer to her.
She was really scared, visibly shivering
I held out my hand to her
She looked up at me
Blue : huh?
Me: come on, give me your hand. Let me help you up
She brought down her head and I smiled
She shyly placed her soft hand in mine and I pulled her up
She was still shaking
