Chapter 13

Hey Guys! Here is chapter 13! Sorry I haven't uploaded in a looooong while I went traveling with friends and couldn't update but I'm back! Let's call that break a huge cliff hanger that is like a mid season finale but not mid season... ;-) Disclosure: I DON'T own TVD or TO. I have not made any protagonists up and any characters used are from one or both series. Enjoy reading :-)

The door to his room was still open so the lingering shadow knocked on the door and cleared her throat.
"Ahem, voulez-vous que je range vos choses mon seigneur? I see your maid has been reluctant in her fonctions." The woman stood just outside the room waiting for a response from the prince. Rebekah glanced over to the girl and nudged Klaus. Klaus glared at his sister then turned towards the door.
And there she was, a beautiful woman stood up straight. She has elegance and poise in her DNA. Her blonde hair framed her face like a painting. A priceless gorgeous painting...
"What's your name, love?" Klaus asked his heavenly angel.
"Carolyn m'lord. Carolyn Aceline" Caroline was in trouble even if she didn't quite know it yet...

'Aceline, ha! She's a maid and her last name means highborn!' Niklaus scoffed. He then smiled as he began scheming... However the prince was staring at the lady in his door way and crossed his arms as he puffed out his chest. He hadn't realised he was staring at the blonde beauty until his sister cleared her throat and began talking... in French...

"Bonjour Carolyn, Je m'appelle Princesse Rebekah d'Angleterre, et this is Prince Niklaus, mon frère." Rebekah gestured towards her brother not taking her eyes off the other blonde. She was studying her carefully. "I'm going to get changed into something that is more flattering are there any maids free to help me into my corset Mademoiselle Aceline?"

'God she's a show off' Nik thought rolling his eyes. "Bekah the woman doesn't need to decipher your bad French when she came here to do her job," He smoothly strolled past his sister and walked right up to the maid.

Caroline stared Niklaus in the face and didn't show any sort of emotion when he smiled at her. "I can ask Bonnie to help you get changed if you like Princess," Caroline calmly said taking a step to the side and moved towards the princess. Caroline curtsied and smiled brightly at Rebekah. Rebekah smiled as well then looked over to her brother who had a look of shock on his face as he leaned on the door frame. He quickly recovered and cleared his throat gaining the attention of the golden goddess.

"Mademoiselle if you please, I would like you to move my luggage so that it is not obstructing the way in and out of the room, honestly you can never get the staff these days." Nik gestured at his chests and kicked two of them to show he was impatient with how the other servants had placed them.

"Yes m'lord, right away. One moment m'lady." Caroline curtsied and smiled at Rebekah before walking over to the door.

"Going some where Aceline?" Klaus inquired getting ever so more impatient. He was stood at the foot of his bed, arms folded, with a smug look on his face. Caroline was just outside the room as she turned back to Klaus.

"No m'lord, I'm not going any where," Caroline brushed off his impatience and waited for the person who she wanted to speak with. She was closing the door to a room further up the hallway when she turned and smiled at Caroline. "Excuse me Miss Bennett," Caroline gestured for her friend to come closer.

'Bennett? The Salvatore's were right! The Bennett witch is here and her cover is a maid?' Klaus began scheming and thinking of ways he could get the witch on his side...

"Yes Caroli-yn, what is it?" Caroline and Bonnie blinked shaking off that close call. Rebekah stepped towards her room and Caroline gestured for Bonnie to follow. Bonnie followed princess Rebekah into her room and closed the door behind her. Caroline turned back to the room of the awaiting prince then closed the door behind herself as well.

"Well? are you done serving everyone but me? Chests. Moved. Now!" Klaus commanded not knowing that he was in for a world of pain when Caroline reveals herself to be the real princess of France! Annoyed at the prince, Caroline moved the luggage as quickly so she could be as far away from him as possible.
As she finished shoving the last case into place Caroline stood up straight from her bending over position. Her back was killing her. As she rubbed away the pain she felt a presence behind her and eyes burning through her...

"Is that all you will be needing my lord?" Caroline stayed as calm as she turned round swiftly to catch the arrogant prince eyeing her up and down. She folded her arms and awaited his next instructions hoping she could leave soon.

"What are you exactly?" Klaus asked her unexpectedly. Klaus saw that Caroline looked confused and rephrased his question. "What is your position here at the castle?"

Caroline cleared her throat and straightened her posture: Klaus took note of this. "I, your majesty, am the head of the servant. I make sure the princess, queen and king are looked after well by their servants and any honoured guests are also well taken care of. On special occasions they wish me to serve guests if they are of importance to my king, queen or princess" She breathed and looked happy with herself.

"Hmmmm," Klaus was impressed though it didn't sound it, "and am I one of those guests?" he smirked hoping for a compliment.

"Of course not!" She said with a laugh but immediately refrained from her loud laughter because of the princes displeased look. "What I meant was that I haven't been told to. I was making sure all the butlers and maids did all their jobs correctly."

"I guess in a way that's a compliment since you moved my cases" Klaus Said in an optimistic voice.

"You think you the only nobleman I helped move his cases today?" Caroline remarked. With that she began to leave the room to the next task on her list.

"Where do you think your going, Aceline?" Klaus enquired raising an eyebrow. Caroline huffed and turned back to face the prince.

"I am going to see how le chef de cuisineis is doing preparing your 5 course meal as well as 50 million other jobs I need to do for the other guests and the royals so excusez-moi s'il vous plait, merci!" caroline swiftly bowed and walked out the door.

"Slipping back into your mother tongue Aceline, good job I know French!" Klaus yelled after her.
He chuckled lightly. 'what was that? why did I do that? I laughed... no it was a small chuckle... what does it mean?' Klaus was over thinking this but then caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror 'I'm smiling...' what is this feeling again?' he felt lost again, like when he saw the shadow at the window... 'who is she?!'

Who is Carolyn Aceline?
