Some information first:
You were born in Ethiopia. There you lived with your family, but for not too long. Your dad died when you were two years old, so you were left with your mom and your big brother. Your brother went off early in the morning each day to earn money to maintain the family. Unfortunately, your brother got a disease. In order to heal your brother, your mother had to sell you. You got to leave them and will never be free again. You were just 5 years old back then. But you've never blamed your mother for her doings. So, you became a servant of a rich family in the Upper Egypt. Your master used to treat you well and so 12 years passed. But sadly enough, your master got killed by a bunch of thieves two days ago and now you're being transported to an another place to serve a new master in a new place...
Starting with your POV:
You were sitting inside a carriage with a lot of other servants of your former master. You had always respected him. In your opinion he's the best master you can ever wish for. He had never beaten you or insulted you in any ways, like other masters would have done. He taught you a lot about everything in life. Not only had he have a lot of knowledge, but he was a good story-teller, too. You've always liked his stories. But he'll never tell any stories anymore, because right now he's gone and will never return...
Sandy, both a servant of your former master and your closest friend: "What do you think, ~~~~~? It must be huge! I hope I won't get lost around there!!" She's so excited about it. She's just one year younger than you are, but sometimes she was really childish. Perhaps… that's exactly what you like about her; the pure innocence of hers. You, on the other hand, are more serious. You didn't often laugh or like how Sandy says it: "If someone sees your smile, that someone must be a really lucky one."
~ "We're almost there girls!! And don't forget what I told you. The palace doesn't tolerate ill-mannered servants. If you make one mistake, it may cost you your head. So, always stay out of trouble!!!" ~
While stepping out of the carriage, you look around. The palace is really huge. A place of easily getting lost in, that's for sure. Standing in the palace of your king, somehow it feels strange. "STAND IN A QUEUE!! I NEED TO INSPECT YOU, PEOPLE OF THE LOWEST CLASS!!", Innkanaka yells, who seemed to be the head of the slaves quarter. And you did what you had been told to. She had a twig in her hand and one by one she inspected you. "What are you looking at wench! You're just a slave, people of the lowest class! How dare ya looking straight into my eyes!" said Innkanaka, while whipping the servant on her upper arm.
Sandy whispered to you sarcastically: "She seems nice..." Suddenly Innkanaka turned her head towards you two and went closer by. "Did you say something???" she asked, while looking straight into the eyes of Sandy. "N-No, I didn't, my lady." stuttered Sandy.
~ No?? I thought I heard something. ~
~ I.. really did not say anything. ~
~ Really?? ~
~ Y-yes, my lady. ~
~ Maybe.... AFTER I'VE HIT YOU, YOU WILL TELL THE TRUTH!!! ~
And just as she said, Innkanaka whipped Sandy on her leg, her upper arm and her back. Sandy cried out of pain and fell on the ground. She begged Innkanaka to stop, but she seems to have too much fun by whipping Sandy. You saw Sandy lying on the ground begging for help. The other girls took few steps back, hoping for they won't be the next, who'll beaten by Innkanaka.
Well let's say you're not someone who stays in the corner. And before you realized, you pushed Innkanaka away, causing her to fall on the ground herself. You kneeled down before Sandy. "You're alright?" you asked with a concerned voice. "You WENCH! HOW DARE YA PUSH ME!!!" yelled Inkanaka to you and whipped your back without another thought. Harsh of pain penetrates your body, but you refuse to let out a cry. You bit your lip, while she smashed her twig harder and harder on your back. Blood dripped onto the ground, but she kept whipping...
Sandy's POV:
You saw ~~~~~ being beaten by Innkanaka, because she wanted to protect you. Her eyes were half-closed, due to the pain. You used all your strength to get closer to Innkanaka and begged her to stop. While grabbing Innkanaka's piece of clothing, you cried her to stop, to stop hitting ~~~~~~. "Please, don't hit her, hit me instead, don't hit her!" you cried. Before you could do anything, you felt a foot on your chest forcing you onto the ground again. She smashed ~~~~~ again and not too long after ~~~~~'s eyes closed slowly. No! you tried to yell, but your energy was flowing away from your body. Suddenly you heard someone yelling to Innkanaka to stop. And a lot of people came by. Innkanaka seemed to be shocked to see who was coming. You tried to look who it was, but you were just too exhausted and fainted.
Well, our charming Prince hasn't appeared yet, but he will be there... sooner than you think...^0^
