Behind the bush was none other than Princess Nellie. "How dare she?! Talk to the prince. Stop all her work. This is outrageous!" She silently screams.

"So Laney. How is the life of a servant?" Corey asks getting rather close to the servant. "Um…not all that good. But it's alright. It's better than being outside of those walls from what I have heard." She replies trying to scoot a bit away from the prince. "If you excuse me Sir, I must get back to my chores." "Why would you go back to doing chores and other boring things while you have the opportunity to be with me?" He asks getting once again closer to the girl. "I agreed to help you while the deliberation thing is going on. But it is not going on as of this moment sir." She states. Before he could say a word she dashes off.

Laney reaches the laundry room. She sneaks in undetected. She starts to wash some clothes while acting casual. "Laney could I talk to you?" The servant turns her head. "Nellie you know that we are not allowed to speak during work hours." Nellie tries to start a conversation but Laney keeps ignoring her. "5 o'clock." One of the guards yells out. At five the servants had to switch to a different area. This rule never made any amount of sense to Laney but she went with it.

Laney goes to her post which is the royal dining hall. She was the first to arrive. Soon the room was surrounded by servants on every end of the walls. Food was on the table that probably costed more than everything every servant owned. The royal family arrives. Trina is dressed in a Puffy pink gown that dragged 3 feet after her. The king was in his kingly wears. The queen had tall hair, a puffy white dress, a face full of face makeup, and gold heels. Corey was in a plain outfit. A decent blue suit.

Once everybody sits down in their chairs the King speaks. "Son as you know your 20th birthday is arriving. By then you have to choose a suitable wife." Corey sulks into his chair and groans. "Sit properly!" The queen snaps. He did as he was told. "Father. Marriage? I don't want to get married. Well at least not yet. And defiantly not a girl I don't know." He complains.

"Son, I know it is difficult to understand but you are going to rule the kingdom by the day of your wedding. It is tradition to be married at the age of 20." The king states. "This isn't fair! Trina is 24! Is she married?! NO! I should have to marry anybody at a certain age if my sister didn't" After those words come out of Corey's mouth he grabs some pork with his fork. "Corey, The reason of why you sister is not married is because she hasn't been offered to be a wife to any prince." The queen states

"Corey the girls will arrive by 3 days from now. Then you will go on 2 dates with each of them. After that you will go into deliberation for one week. Once you return you must have one of the princess in mind that you want to marry." King Riffin states. Corey's face gets blood shot red. "THIS ISN'T FAIR YOU CAN'T DECIDE WHO I WILL MARRY, HAVE KIDS WITH, AND SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH!" Corey shouts and then knocks his plate off the table. "Corey Jaron Riffin! You do not yell." The queen snaps. Trina turns around. "Well don't just stand there! You redhead clean up this mess." Trina orders.

Laney does as she is told and goes to the mess the prince made. She picks up the food quickly and after all the food is on the plate she dashes into the kitchen to retrieve another. She comes back with a plate of mashed potatoes, ham, and other delicious things that makes Laney want to drool. She places the food on the table and then goes tight back to her spot. The royal family continues to eat in silence. At the end of the meal the royal family goes off to their rooms while the servants clean up. After that Laney goes to her chambers. Her legs feel like jelly. Instead of going down the normal hall Laney knows a short cut without the others pushing and shoving. "Hey there. I need to talk to you." She looks up and there is….
