1Disclamer: I don't own "Ever After" I wish I had written it, it is the most beautiful love story ever told.
Summary: Here are Jacquline's thoughts after she helps Prince Henry by telling him where Danielle is after the mask. Written in Jacquline's POV I made up the name of the man she meets at the ball, u know the other horse, his name is Richard DeLisse
"Tell no one we have spoken" the Prince finished after I had told him where Danielle, his love was. I knew my mother and Margruitte would hear of this one way or another but I was determined to keep my mouth shut. She was not so bad, Danielle, she helped my mother for 15 years without complant. She was so good and kind and so full of life. I wish I could be like her. I hated Margruitte then. Danielle was right, Marguritte's games and intrigues were not going to win her a crown. In the end, Danielle was going to be Queen, I was sure of it. She deserved it after all my mother had done to her. Made her work and slave and work and abused her both physically and verbally. Dear Danielle, I must tell her how sorry I was but that I had to make it seem like I hated her as much as Margruitte and Mother did. When Margruitte got to go to balls and I was "Only there for the food" as Mother so harshly put it, I would run home and be with Danielle. We were friends, Danielle and I. I gave her bits of food and I secretly helped her find gowns to dress her in for her secret meetings with Prince Henry. She told me that I was the only reason she stayed in the presence of my Mother and Margruitte. I was not mean to her she said, and for this, I would be repaid she had promised me that. I had met a wonderful man at the mask. His name was Monsuire Richard DeLisse. He loved me he had told me that. Just as soon as I had backed away from the royal carrige, Mother pounced "Jacquline dear, what did the Prince say to you"? I stammered "no.... nothing" I siad. She looked at me fircely. Then she began to drag me by my hair. I screamed in pain. "Mother stop" I cried. She dragged me all the way to the Manor. She hauled me to the stable and shut the door on me. "Now you must pay for betraying me" I cried quietly.
