Chapter 2

It's my first day at the palace and the other workers here have been very rude because my position as the prince's servant was the one they all wanted the most. I clean his room, prepare his baths, and prepare his outfits for the following morning, noon, and night, yet I haven't seen the prince even once. I was on my way back to prepare his bath when I heard yelling from the throne room. I wanted to know what was going on in that room so I listened at the door for a minute. I could only hear bits of the conversation like, If you dont do this then who will, and we need this power to make justice for hell. I didn't want to get in trouble so I started walking to the prince's room. I was only a few steps away from the door to the throne room when the door flew open and what looked like a prince walked out and couldn't be sure, as there were no pictures of him in the palace halls). He started running to his room but I was in the way so we ended up bumping into each other.

I thought he was the self-absorbed princely type but instead of punishing me as the head maid would have, he helped me pick up my stuff and helped me up. I could tell something was on his mind because he looked like he was about to burst, and I just heard him and his father yelling at each other. When a maid started walking down the hall the prince noticed and slashed me down to the ground knocking over a vase. The maid passed and I just looked at him and said, "I am sorry my prince I will get your bath ready right now." I got up and started walking towards his room when he stopped me and said, "I am so sorry I had to, if my father found out I was helping a servant and not punishing them I would never be able to leave this place ever again. Not like I can leave now but you get what I am saying right?" I nodded.

I wanted to help the prince and with the look on his face I asked him if he wanted to talk and if I could help him in any way, he said to me, "I don't want you to get bored with my rambling'' I looked at him and said, "I need to go to your room anyway so maybe I can help you in any way I can." We walked over to his room and I started getting his bath ready. I asked him what was on his mind, he told me that he was worried for hell and heaven. He seemed like he had more, but I understood it's not ok to ask. I finished preparing the bath and he started undressing, I nervously looked away and said, "W-well I believe that both afterlives can become allies'' he just looked at me and said, "that's what I want, but that will be very unlikely with my father still as lord". He kept undressing to get in the bath. "My prince, if it's alright for me asking… why aren't there any pictures of you in the palace halls?" "I can't tell you, but I can show you…" "No it's alright, but may I show you something that may take your mind off of your father?" "Sure". I told him to meet me in the garden at dawn and then I left.

It is finally dawn, I am standing in the castle garden waiting for the young prince to meet me. To be honest I am not very confident that he will come regarding we just met and I am just some servant to him. I even forgot to introduce myself to him, I mean I know his name but he doesn't know anything about me. It was almost time for what I wanted to show him but still no one around. I was walking toward the castle door until it started to open and there he was, the very handsome prince of hell just standing there staring at me. I grabbed his hand and flew toward the roof of the castle at the speed of 10 seconds. We reached the roof, I sat down he followed and asked, "so why did you want me out here?" I said, "well I can't help you fix the problems with your father, but I can get your mind off them for a while" he looked at me with a strange face and said, "what do you mean by, get, my, mind, off, of, it?" I was confused and said, "I wanted to show you the hell flames rising, they are one of the only beautiful things in hell" he looked relieved for some reason and sat down next to me. We watched the hell flames rise and he looked like he saw an angel fly down from heaven, I said "so what do you think it's beautiful right?" he still had his eyes on the flames he just said, "yea" and left it there.
