They came when I was scrubbing the flagstones in the front yard.
Being the lucky servant that I was, I was partnered with Ella, the whiny
bitch who thought that just because her father was married to the mistress
of the house she should get special privileges. It seems that miss
princess never grew up in a household where one had to work to keep things
clean. Well Madame Trachlein dispelled those pathetic beliefs very quickly,
giving Ella daily chores to make her realize how fortunate she was. I will
hand it to Madame- she may not be much to look at, but her morals are very
high. Her other two children were brought up that way from the beginning
and as such are sure to go far in life. But no, the little wench thought
that she was becoming a servant and complains all the time about her
terrible life and her worthless father. Blah blah blah. Oh here I go again,
losing my train of thought because I am mad at that stupid blonde.
Anyway, I had just finished the purple stones and had turned around to throw the dirty water upon Ella because she was griping about her nails, when I heard a noise behind me. I winced as I heard the horrific sound of mud. Mud that was being squished into the stones that I had just cleaned! I turned around to give who ever it was a piece of my mind when I came face to face with a boot. Not just any boot, a royal boot. Hearing a rather annoyed cough above me, I looked up, right into the face of the prince. He mistook my goggled stare for adoration. "I'm sorry dear" he said smoothly " I don't think you will have a chance with me. But you can go ahead and try" I didn't quite hear him which is probably a good thing on his half. It is true that the prince is a real looker, but he's much too stupid and vain to be much else, especially a the king. No, I was looking at the guard on his right.
If I had ever believed in love at first sight, this was the closest thing to it. I mean aside from the extreme hotness of this guy, I caught his eye as well. Something about those deep green pools just made me melt inside. I don't know what it was, but a second later it was gone, replaced by the prince demanding to see the head of this household and why wasn't I listening to what this important man was saying and oh my your a pretty little thing.
This last comment was directed at Ella. She blushed and hid her face with her hands. I rolled my eyes- she knew she was beautiful, she was just playing the innocent little servant again. "What's a fair beauty like you doing out here?" she prince said coolly "Well my fath." that was all she could get out before I clamped my hand over her mouth. "This way to the Madame" I said, turning briskly with Ella still in my grip, and a frowning prince trailing along.
It seemed that Madame had already known of our guests as we arrived. She came bustling down in a full length wine colored gown with matching earrings. Her hair of course was stuck in it's usual position, looking like a cross between a beehive and a dead poodle. Her young face was made old looking with too much rouge and eyepowder. Perhaps I should be a bit more kind to my employer- she really isn't all that bad. But I just hated to have the prince see her like this. Madame made a deep curtsy and several cooing noises that could be interpreted as thank yous and how wonderfuls and my it's an honors. Then she ushered them into the dining room, sent Ella upstairs to change, and me to continue the flagstones. I suppose that I should have been glad to get rid of the royal, but I would have liked to see more of that guard. The face Ella made at me as she ran upstairs didn't help either, but I let it slide, promising myself that she would meet an unfortunate accident with the bottle of green dye that looked like shampoo. So wrapped up in my own thoughts that I didn't realize someone was in front of me until it was too late. I bumped into him and sent my water bucket flying, only to land, much to my dismay, on him crisp clean guard shirt. Yes, that's right. I had just nearly drowned my new love interest. I just stood there, not knowing what to say, what to do. The tears slowly started creeping up to the corners of my eyes, threatening to reveal themselves.
