A/N ok thank you for the reviews now I will update. Sorry I was kind of angry and all. But I got some so I will get on with it.

Chapter 4

I was sleeping when I heard a knock at my door. It was Mandy coming to wake me up as she does every morning.

"Good morning Lady, I know that it is early but I need your help in the kitchen" I just rolled over. "Lady please we are having a dinner tonight and I just found out about it"

"OK, I will be there soon"

I got there and the kitchen was in turmoil, never have I seen such a mess and Mandy normally keeps the kitchen in such good order.

"Mandy? Are you here?"

"Yes sorry I am here, I didn't want to wake you but I just needed help, sorry"

"No it is ok, what do you need me to do?"

"Make the soup. The broccoli from yesterday is still there use that" I was already at the pot and adding ingredients. After about 15 minuets of silence I just had to ask.

"Who was the guest yesterday?"

"His name is Sir Sebastian. He is the son of a far away duke. He is here visiting the royal family"

"Ok but why was he here?"

"That I don't know. All I did was give him food. But he turned his nose up at it."

"What! He turned your food away, but that is impossible!"

"I was so surprised when I saw his plate come back with out eating anything. That is why it is so messy in here I was to angry to clean"

"Is he coming tonight?"

"Yes, unfortunately." Poor Mandy. How could he not like her food? Who is he? What does he want? Why did he really come here?

We got near done by around 3 and then olive came down. But oddly she didn't tell me to talk to her, she just watched me. The about15 minutes later Hattie came in. I just know she has orders for me

"Olive Leave" she left

"Ella you are going to serve dinner tonight. Prince Charmonte will be coming you are not to talk to him, no matter what. In fact you will not talk to anyone at the dinner. We can not have anyone recognizing your voice."

"Fine but I will throw something heavy at you if you don't leave right now" she left, her skirts hiked up around her knees. I really didn't want to see her right now. I couldn't believe it I can't talk to anyone I hate her. She has caused me so much pain and it just keeps coming.

"Mandy what else do you need me to do?"

"Um… could you watch the desert please?"

"Thanks" I had just an hour until the guest started arriving and I need to keep busy or else I really would throw something

A/N ok I know it is kinda boring but I had to get Sebastian in. It might take me a while to put the next ch. Up cause my mom is leaving for Afghanistan on sat and it is just a bit depressing. Sorry.
