Prince Nikolas Cassidine: He is a prince of Russia so his family is very rich. He is 17 years old and his grandmother is Helena Cassidine. He is more compassionate than the rest of his family and his grandmother is trying to get him married.

Elizabeth: She is a servant girl of Dr. Obrect and Brit and is 14 years old. She is from England and was captured by French traders and then sold to Dr. Obrect. She is not treated well by Obrect and Brit. She hopes to someday escape and find love but she knows that the chances of both of those are slim so for right now she just tries to do what she's told and not get in trouble.

*In this story takes place in Germany, just because.

Chapter one

"ELIZABETH!" I hear Madame Obrect call from the living room. I hurry up the stairs and to the living room. When I get there I knock on the door.

"Get in here!" She said from inside. I quickly open the door and step inside. As soon I'm in I curtsy and whisper,

"Yes Madame?"

"Did I say that you could speak?!" She said. I looked down. "Look up when I speak to you!" I quickly look up again. "As you know I have been trying to find a good husband for Britta and I believe that I've found one. Prince Nikolas Cassidine of Russia will be staying here for a few days to meet her. I need you to prepare a room for him and his four guards. I was just informed that they are arriving tonight." I nod and curtsy then I turn to leave and prepare the room.

"Wait!" She says. I turn back around. "If you screw this up in anyway Elizabeth then there will be dire consequences and you will wish that you hadn't." I feel a chill go down my spine. Madame Obrect's punishments are harsh as is. I would know I've been at the receiving end more times than I can count. Something as simple as too much garlic in the spaghetti sauce can result in three strokes of the whip. I can't even imagine what could be 'dire consequences'. "Am I understood?" She asks. I nod my head yes in response. "Answer me when I ask you a question!" She yells.

"Yes I understand Madame." I say quietly and while avoiding eye contact.

"Good. Now go prepare the rooms." I curtsy and leave, hurrying down the hall to the biggest guest room. I enter the room and start to clean.

Two hours later the room is perfect. Ready for a prince. I hear the doorbell ring. I try to tidy up my uniform as I walk. It's a simple black dress with a white apron. I open the door and there standing before me are four guards holding guns and luggage, and between the guards is a very regal looking young man. He couldn't be more than a couple of years older than me, and he was cute. Without saying anything the men march in. As the guards pass me they shove their luggage into my arms. Rude, I think.

"Welcome to Wyndomere Estate." I say to the men. "I will show you to Madame Obrect." The guards nod and I lead them to the living room. Before entering I knock on the door.

"Come In!" I hear a cheerful Madame Obrect say. I open the door and let the men inside. Madame Obrect stands up to greet the regal looking man who must be the prince with a handshake.

"Prince Nikolas and company. I am Dr. Leseil Obrect, welcome to my home." She indicates to me. "This is my servant Elizabeth" I mentally spit at the word, servant, I don't think so. Servants are paid and allowed to quit and leave. Those stupid traders put me in this position. How am I paid? With 'a place to live and food to eat' according to Madame Obrect. "She will take care of all of your needs." She tells them. To me she says, "Elizabeth, show these fine gentlemen to their rooms." I nod and walk out of the room with the men following me.

I show the guards their rooms first and hand them their luggage as they enter. I then take the prince and his luggage down to the room that I spent two hours preparing. When we get there I show him inside and set the luggage on the bed. I turn to him.

"Excuse me your Highness, my apologies if I'm overstepping my bounds, however I just wanted to introduce myself instead of my Madame Obrect introducing me like I can't speak. I'm Elizabeth and I obviously can speak, German and English, though I prefer English because it is my native language. Also she called me her servant girl, it is so much more than that, to put it basically I'm her slave, to do with whatever she desires- Oh sorry, I'm babbling your Highness, I'll just be quiet now." I say. He looked a little taken aback at first probably because of me speaking without permission, I couldn't be sure though. He also seemed amused, probably at my flusterness.

"Well that is very nice to know." He said in English. Just then Miss Brit, the reason for this whole visit walks in. She looks surprised when she sees me in there.

"Hello, your Highness." I inwardly laugh at how much she is butt-kissing here. "My mother told me that you were here so I came to introduce myself," She said extending her hand. "My name is Britta Westbourne but please call me Brit." With that being said she turned to me.

"Elizabeth? What are you doing in the prince's room?" She asked, with a hint of annoyance in her voice. Oh great, I thought; now she is going to tell her mother that I was hanging around the prince's room. Looks like I'll be receiving punishment tonight.

"I was just showing Prince Nikolas his room Miss Britta." I said quietly while looking at the floor. I do quickly look up at Prince Nikolas though. His face was an expressionless mask, not what I was hoping for. I look back down.

"Well he's here now. You can go." she said, obviously annoyed that I was there.

"Yes M'am" I said as I curtsied and left.

Later I was mopping in the foyer when I hear her voice again from behind me.

"Elizabeth!" She said.

"Yes?" I replied, turning around slowly to face Miss Brit.

"I don't want you hanging around my Prince. Now I won't turn you in this time," She said, "but next time I catch you with Prince Nikolas I will tell my mother and she will have you severely punished. Consider yourself warned." With that she turned around and walked out of the foyer. Leaving me to stand there in fear.

Author's note- I'm not sure if I should continue this story or not. Please review and let me know if I should continue it. Also I'm open to any suggestions on what could happen in future chapters. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it. -Shelbie1
