Normal POV
Brianna was in the kitchen, pulling a kettle from under the fire place.
"Ok fine Mina, I'll admit it that Oatmeal sounds better, but I name the next recipe," Belle clapped in joy," Oh Bree Bree...I have a question, do you ever think about Boys?"
Brianna's face turned beet red and she froze on the spot, "Where the hell did that come from?"
"Well, I was thinking about Blossom, ya know she has a new crush like every week...then I read Buttercup's palm about meeting someone special...then I thought of crackers...getting stuck in your teeth...teeth...then white...then your hair."
Brianna just smacked herself on the forehead, "Why would you-"
"Ok...no teasing, just showing and telling...I just thinking...haven't you ever wondered about Mr. Right..."She sighed, "Or Mr. Left?"
"I'm so interested to hear what you're looking for in a guy." Brianna rolled her eyes.
"Don't get snap snap, Bree Bree," Belle giggled, "I guess an eater. Someone who I can feed and spoil with my cooking, and...chase those demonic bunnies...I'm telling ya, they're plotting now...to eat my cabbages, those evil cotton tail monsters."
Brianna looking at her, "Ok, I guess it could be nice to have a guy around but I don't have the time, speaking of time where the hell is Buttercup, oh whatever...I've gotta clean Princess's room."
Brianna carries the bucket and a rag into Princess disgustedly pink room, with her hideous gowns all over the floor and her jewelry all over the floor. Princess was giving Maggie a hard time.
"Ewwww...how dare you suggest that horrible and disgusting ring. It's Garret...cheap ugly garret."
"But Miss, it's the last gift from you grandmother."
"What! Did you just speak back to me?" Princess just smack Maggie, when Brianna grabbed her hand, Princess yelps in disgust and horror as she snatches her and back, "How dare you touch me! You filthy peasant!"
"I'm gonna do more than touch, next time I'm gonna cream ya if you even touch Maggie again."
"Miss, please forgive her." Maggie tried to push her along but Brianna stayed put, "Brianna, please apologize at once."
"I'm not apologizing to this spoiled cow!"
"How dare you!"
"Your grandmother gave that ring as an inheritance, a final gift to remember her...some of us would kill for that kind of memory and you toss it aside like its nothing!"
"You worthless Peasant, I will have you fired, banished, kicked off the estate and homeless! NO ONE WILL EVER WANT YOU ON THEIR ESTATE!"
"I would be happy to, but I have a debt, We'll see what your daddy will say about that. Besides pretty girls, he loves money too much. So you'll have to deal with me, how lucky for you."
Princess had this evil grin on her face, "You just remember I know your secret."
"What secret?"
"I know what you really are, at the Village, Mandy saw you pointing a 'wand' at this Gypsy man, one of your regulars, huh?"
"Brianna!" Maggie yelled but Brianna stopped her.
"Oh really, is she really sure it was a wand?"
"She heard the word Curse, you might as well face it, you better obey me or I'll have you arrested before you could have your wand out."
"Oh really, go ahead, I wonder how people gonna feel when they find out how stupid you really are."
"Huh?"
"I was being chased by a gypsy stupid, so I lied. I grabbed a straight stick and bluff, if I really could use magic, would I really work for you annoying people."
Princess was about to say something, defeated she stomped her foot, whether Brianna was lying or not, she would need proof. If a man said that Brianna was a magic user, it would be taken seriously, but if a female said it, not so much. People have decision that claims by women were due to jealous, Men...not so much. It would be looked into but Princess would look stupid if Brianna wasn't magic user.
Princess growled, not ready to accept defeat, "You should be grateful to work for a family like ours, ya know I think you're jealous, poor little Bree, has no one but Maggie..."
"Funny, I do have Maggie, I'm not her child but at least she loves me like she does-"Brianna was suddenly back hand slapped by Princess.
"I've had enough of your back talk! You wanna know the truth, I bet your parents couldn't stand you. Your mother was a whore, and who knows who your father was, you were born worthless, you and your pathetic friends! Illegitimate little whore, that man was probably a customer who didn't want you anymore like your moth-" Princess screamed but Brianna smacked her back.
"What is going on here?" Lady Morbucks storms in, seeing Princess on the ground.
"Nothing my Lady." Maggie bowed as Princess got up.
"Oh it was nothing mommy," Princess said, "I just bumped into a wall." She glared at Brianna who glared back.
Maggie pulled her out of the room and down the hall, "You've done it now. She's saving you for herself."
"Well, she can bring it," Brianna had tears in her eyes and they slowly ran down her face, "That spoiled fat cow had no right to talk about my parents like that! Or my friends. She had no right!"
Maggie shushed her as she hugged her, "Don't let her see your tears, or she'll win."
Buttercup's POV
I don't think I could bow fast enough, my nose was practically in the grass. If there was one person to fear for your life, it was this guy, the Crown Prince. The silver ring with the Crown was a dead giveaway. Picked by Divine Sages as they said...and his word was absolute, if he wanted my head, he could have it on a silver platter without question. I just threw an apple at him in the nuts.
"Your Majesty, I beg for your forgiveness, " I asked, nervously, "I didn't see you."
I heard him groan, "Your aim tells me different...you threw those at me. Damn that hurt."
"Well, I had to do something, Lady Morbucks will have my hide if a horse goes missing or stolen."
Ok Shut up Buttercup, don't argue with the Prince, just shut up. I sighed
"Just tell them I burrowed it, it should get you have the hook."
I gulped again, "No please, that's not right. Even if they have a lot, a horse is a horse, your highness, it's theirs. Plus, it's not right, just because you're a Prince that you can just burrow things without asking. And I can't be fired...I need this job."
"Interesting, So, if this was your horse and I asked to burrow it, what would you say?"
"Not unless I can accompany you to get it back," I said and he just laughed, he sounded so familiar, but he had a really nice laugh, I thought about looking up but I was too scared, a servant must ask permission to look royalty in the face.
"You can stop bowing now. Let me see your face, you sound familiar."
"I can't...its forbidden."
"Only because Dad doesn't like people staring at him... you have permission."
I shook my head, "No."
"And now she's disobeying a direct order from the Crown Prince. I have to say if the Morbucks fire you, I would hire you. Give those stiffs at the castle a heart attack. How about this, I'll give you back the horse, if you look me in the face. I must see the face of this fascinating creature."
He laughs as I slowly lifted my head, but I heard more hoof prints, he groaned in frustration, and that warm Prince was gone and I bowed again, "I don't have time for this...here for your silence, if you do get fired, then here's something for your troubles." He dropped something and that no good bastard was gone. I stood up and stomped a hole in the ground. I saw the pouch on the ground and it was filled with at least 250 gold gems...he just shortened our time to a year...a year...I held on to the pouch...if I see that Prince I could kiss him...ok not kiss but...oh man...Fang flew into my arms. I was gonna hide this
"Look Fang, money." I don't know why but the Princes' voice sounded so familiar.
"A name...any name."
I shook my head, "No way, couldn't be him."
