Kayla, being the small 11-year-old servant girl she is, went out to buy some ingredients for a wedding cake. Leaving Jo the warrior, alone. "Oh wow, I feel so appreciated." She sarcastically remarked to herself.
"Jo!" Anna came in running.
The warrior turned around to see Anna. "What do you want?"
"One of your soldiers has been captured by Sir Mugs," Anna said quietly.
Jo stomped the ground, clenching her jaw. "Ugh! That damn Mugs! Who was captured?"
"Brick," Anna said.
Jo stopped looking angry, and instead saddened a little. "Brickhouse? Oh well. He did well for a new recruit." Her left eye twitched a little, as she clenched her fists. "Wanna get fight Mugs later?"
"Umm Jo, I'm sorry but." Anna trailed off, "Brick was executed after capturing." Jo pushed Anna out of the way and ran.
"Hey! Wait!" Anna ran after Jo.
Kayla bumped into Anna, and her groceries fell. "What the heck Ann-" She stopped mid-sentence when she saw Anna's guilty face. "What happened?"
"Jo ran because we were just informed of Solider Brick's execution," Anna said.
Kayla was shocked. "Brick was executed? But he was such a great brother to me. I am the worst little sister ever! I didn't even know about my own brothers death!" Kayla started to hyperventilate.
"Kayla calm down!" Anna reassured her, " Don't you have your younger sister?" Anna asked.
Ruff, who I'm going to call Matt from now on, awoke, and realizing he wasn't of any use in the banquet hall, went out to the royal barn and took care of the royal horses. Being in charge of the royal animals was hard, but they never told him to shut up when he got too annoying.
Matt was in the stable, trying to brush a stubborn horse's mane. He'd already used up all of the sugar cubes he had, and the horse had almost kicked him multiple times. He was usually good with animals but is one was acting crazy for some reason. Receiving word from one of the king's servants, Matt readied the horses for the Knights who would set out to find Mugs. Hearing that Brick had been killed, he made a mental note to avoid Jo.
Anna ran after Matt, "May I please see one of the horses? The king says that his daughter should get a horse for the wedding." Anna said. "One of the horses?Is the king daughter? Really!? What if I give the wrong one?! What if the king has I beheaded for it?" Matt nervously eyed the horses, until he saw one that was a pure white. "I think this one's good for the princess. Do you? I'm new at this."
"It's very nice." Anna said patting its head until she caught the eyes of a white horse with pale yellow sports, "What about this one?" Anna asked.
"Right. Of course. Sorry, I should have seen that one. Don't tell the king please." Matt replied, as he let the horse out and led it towards Anna, stroking its mane. He'd heard stories of how cruel King Chris could be, unlike his daughter.
"What's his or her name?" Anna asked. Matt knew all of the animals' names by heart so it didn't take him long to reply, "Moon, because she's yellow and white like the moon. But you probably knew that. Unless you didn't, in that case now you do." He ruffled his hair, something he did when he embarrassed himself with his awkwardness. Anna nodded and left.
Julius walked down the hall and entered the library. At first sight, the library looked ordered. But then, he saw a portrait of Dawn atop of a fireplace. "Wow. She looks... beautiful."
You really shouldn't think that's what she looks like." Noah advised the awestruck suitor. "For all we know she's the ugliest girl alive and the king just forced the painter to make her look good."
"Well, you never know," said Julius whilst staring at the portrait.
"Ahh, hopeless romantics. The most stupid of them all." Noah snarled, throwing books that the king had not liked into the fire.
"B-Brick always treated me like I was his little sister..." Kayla whimpered. "Even from different families, we were close." She slowly walked away and went to the library to cheer herself up. She then saw Julius admiring at the portrait of Dawn in the library. She smiled, "If I can't be happy, they can." And she walked away so she won't disturbed him. After pondering his thoughts on some more about Dawn, Julius sighed and left the library.
Blue, a maid, sat in her quarters as Heather paced around her room.
"You're such a stupid girl!" The 'princess' snapped. Blue winced at her words and covered her eyes.
"Forgetting you're the own name and only using three words. Blue, No and Fuck. How the heck did you even become a maid?" Heather added.
Anna winced as she heard the screaming quietly she tipped toed to Blue's quarters and knocked.
Heather grabbed a wooden ruler, the one she preferably used to harm others and slapped it against Blue's thighs, causing the girl to wince and hiss. She repeated the process until Blue's thighs were all red and blue from the beatings.
"You're needed in the kitchen, Maid!" The way Heather said it made the shorter girl shudder. Or course, she had a much wider vocabulary but she was only told to speak when spoken to. She said Blue when introducing herself, she said Yes when she was asked to understand something and she involuntarily yelled out 'Fuck' when she dropped the plates on the floor, resulting in more beatings from Heather.
Blue walked into the kitchen and began preparing lunch for the people.
Kayla found herself in the kitchen. "Well, I guess I need to make a cake." She muttered. Then Kayla saw Blue making food. "Oh hey." She gloomily greeted.
"Wow, am I hungry. Then again, I just ate. Oh well." Julius walked towards the kitchen. There, he found Blue and Kayla. "Hello. Anything good to here in here?" he asked.
"Oh. Blue's making us some lunch." Kayla replied in monotone. To distract Julius from suspecting her glum mood, she opened up her notebook. "Hey uh, do you wanna see a dress I designed for Dawn? I need some constructive criticism." She squeaked.
Blue set a plate of food in front of the pair, remembering their favourite foods, dislikes and combinations. She bowed her head and walked back into the kitchen, a blank face and a silent voice.
Staci went to the kitchen where most people were. She sat down depressed. She ate tons of food.
"Uh, okay?" Julius was rather distracted by Staci's gluttonous presence. "Okay, what did you say about the dress?" he asked Kayla.
"Thank you, Blue. You can talk to us ya know." Kayla said. Her eye's looked a little dead inside. Then her eye's looked a little grossed out when she saw Staci devouring all the food.
Blue looked at Kayla, and was about to speak but remember what Heather/her previous master had told her, so she looked away and walked into the depths of the kitchen.
"Don't talk to her. She's so weird anyways," Heather scoffed. "I mean, she thinks her name is Blue, like what the heck?" She plucked a grape from the fruit bowl.
Matt considered heading to the kitchen himself, but seeing a half-eaten apple sitting where Moon had once been, he shrugged and ate that.
Noah read in peace, glad that there was no one there to disturb him.
"Thank you so much Blue!" Anna said before sitting down and taking a plate of grilled cheese, "You're so good at cooking!" Anna yelled again.
"Nothing. Except the fact my brother just got excited." Kayla blankly said, putting a piece of food in her mouth. She turned to Heather, "You're sick. Treat her with some respect."
"You guys are just like my old kingdom, I had to leave them," Tears rolled down Staci's face, "Because they banned me for cannibalism."
Dakota came into the kitchen and punched Blue on the way. "I heard she thinks her name is Blue. Ha."
Heather glared at Kayla. "And what is your position in this kingdom?" She asked bitterly.
Kayla moved to a different seat. She looked at Julius. "Oh yeah, wanna see a drawing of a wedding dress I pictured for Dawn?" She opened up the notebook and gave him the sketch. "So... Is it any good? You can comment if it's bad."
"Oh. I am sorry for your loss, Kayla," Julius said. Then, he turned to Heather. "What do you have against her, anyways?"
Dakota sat down, he was disgusted at the crying fat girl.
"Blue is such an amazing person. For a princess, you sure don't act like royalty." Kayla bitterly remarked, crossing her arms and glaring.
"Didn't her family get de-thrown?" Anna asked glaring at Heather.
Blue winced as Dakota punched her and walked into the kitchen where she began to clean the dishes by hand. She still was waiting upon the new dishwasher, as the first one was destroyed by Heather.
"Didn't you stay silent at one point?" Dakota asked Anna.
"Yeah! Even though I may be an 11-year-old servant girl, my mental age can be as high as 22 if I fucking wanted to. Heather, you're a piece of trash." She cursed.
Noah groaned, realizing he was hungry. That meant he'd have to eat in a room. A room with people in it. He got food from Blue, half-heartedly thanking her, before sitting down in the corner of the room.
"Huh, I don't understand." Anna asked.
Jo went into the kitchen when she heard Kayla curse, "Okay! Who the hell messed with her this time?"
Staci stayed silent at the scene in front of her. She left the room to try to find Blue.
"Kayla? I think you need to calm down. Relax. Breathe." Julius said. "Now, can I please see the dress you designed for Dawn?
Heather waved her hand in front of Kayla. "I don't care if you were any better than me, as I'm the princess, who, coming up, will be my coronation!"
Sarah was spectating the scene from afar, a blank expression on her face.
"And let me hold both you hands in the holes of my sweater," she thought to herself.
Kayla ignored Heather and showed Julius and Anna the designs. "Is it good? My drawing skills are sometimes sloppy. I love constructive criticism."
Julius then turned to Heather. "Oh please. Soon, I will be married to Princess Dawn, so your coronation is irrelevant." Then, he turned back to Kayla's drawing. "Wow, I have to say, it really does look good! If this could be done by wedding day, then it will be perfect!"
Anna saw a bird fly through the window, "Oh it's Josh's bird. It'll fly into his chambers." Anna said softly.
"Oh, Sarah!" Maggie walked over to her best friend. "Wanna go to the ball with me?" Maggie asked.
"Your marrying Dawn?" Dakota asked Julius, "I feel bad for her. So misguided."
Eddie walked up to Heather and pat her toe. "Bitch!"
DJ came up to Eddie. "Did you really have to do that man? Physical violence is never the solution, especially to animals."
Eddie looked at DJ, ticked off. He punched him in the gut. "Bitch! Don't correct me!"
Kayla overheard Maggie and had the bright idea. "Jo... I know this might not the best time... But we should go to the ball together... Maybe."
Anna looked at the designs, "Amazingly wonderful!" Anna squealed as she looked at the gown, "Will we need silk?" Anna asked.
Heather looked at Julius with an amused expression. "My younger step-sister is not going to be crowned the queen, it'd be me!" Heather snapped. "And with that, I could always deny you access to marry her, as the mother is dead." The was Heather expressed her mother's death was so nonchalantly.
In her mind, she still missed her mother, in fact, she changed, as anger filled her hole in her heart and she lashed out at everyone, screaming mentally that it's their fault. Heather liked to victimise Dawn and Blue, as both were short and not violent.
As much as Noah disliked conversing with stupid people, he had to say something. "I see the royalty is already going to your head." He said, looking at Julius.
She turned to Anna. "For the ribbon, yes. But the whole dress is optional."
Anna glared at Heather, "King Chris has approved of Julius marrying, Dawn. She will be crowned a queen, not you." Anna said looking at her messaging bag.
Heather made a gagging motion. "An arranged marriage? Daddy would actually permit that?"
"Oh, can you image the ball?!" Anna squealed happily twirling around the room, "All the music, the gowns, and the wedding!" Anna said happily.
"BLUE! FETCH MY RULER!" Heather demanded and six seconds later Blue showed up with the ruler in her hand and passed it to Heather, who looked at her distastefully.
"Next time, be faster!" Heather growled snapping her thighs twice.
Heather approached Chef and Eddie and the metal ruler hit both of them hard in their balls. She smirked.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you'll need to be castrated from the bruises on your baby makers!" She taunted. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta wedding dress to look for. BLUE!" Heather yelled and the maid followed the princess up the stairs.
"Heather, as the future king of this kingdom, I command you to put down your ruler this instant!" Julius demanded.
Chef slapped Heather in self-defense. "Back in the war we didn't hit people with rulers!"
"You guys act like a ruler is a whip. Whips are where it's at," Staci said. She was afraid of being hit, however. "Did you know my family invented rulers?"
"Where did all these rulers come from anyway?" Sarah asked, "We're not a classroom, and I don't remember us having any mathematicians in the castle."
Blue stood in front of Heather's room looking at her feet and her hands wrapped around each other.
"No one is allowed in! No one!" Heather had yelled at her. "Only myself!"
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. CHECK OUT WISH I WAS A PIRATE FOR HELPING ME WITH THIS FIC :DD
