"Fred and Lucy." The Beast said as Fred and Lucy took a step forward. "Did Luke and Paige complain to you two, or did one of them order you two around?" The Beast asked as the head of the household listened, and Fred spoke up as Lucy was scared. "They didn't complain to us at all, but we did get ordered by Paige as she being unkind and spiteful towards us, master. Luke thanked us for bringing them to the bedchamber, and he felt sorry for us." The Beast saw that Paige hurt Fred and Lucy. Fred and Lucy moved back as the Beast said. "Ellie and Gemma." Ellie and Gemma nervously walked forward.
"Did Sarah and Anne complain to you two, or did one of them or both of them order you two around?" The Beast asked, and Ellie slowly spoke up as Gemma was terrified of Sarah. "We both got complained at by Sarah and Anne. They both said that Rosabella should be in the kitchen as a servant and in a beautiful bedchamber, then she doesn't deserve to be in one."
"They also called Rosabella 'Cinderella', and we knew that you did say to them not to call Rosabella by that name at all. They ordered us around, and they didn't apologize for their actions or words. They also said Rosabella should be at their house instead of coming with them and being a slave. But I got a strange feeling that we are going to get ordered by them in the days to come, and we have to see."
The Beast saw that Ellie and Gemma didn't deserve to get complained at all. Ellie and Gemma moved back. Fred and Lucy helped them to relax as the Beast said. "Angela." Angela moved forward and waited for the Beast to say something to her. "Did Rosabella complain to you, or did she order you around? Did she say something to you?" The Beast asked as Angela shocked her head, and she spoke up.
"Rosabella didn't complain nor ordered me around about at all because she asked if the bedchamber that she is in right now was given to her and why. Was I told to bring her to the bedchamber that is fit for a princess or queen, and she thanked me for leading her to the bedchamber as the Palace is huge as well as she would get lost."
The Beast, the head of the household, Fred, Lucy, Ellie, and Gemma, saw that Rosabella, aka Ella, was kind and thoughtful. Angela moved back, and the Beast said. "Go back to them and help them to get ready for tonight's meal. Ellie, as well as Gemma, tell Sarah that she will sit next to me on my right at the table, however, for one night only because Anne will sit next to me on my right tomorrow night's meal and don't tell them about the third night's meal as I want it to be a surprise to them."
"But all three young girls have to see me like this, and one of them have to decide to stay here with me. Angela, tell Rosabella that you have to call her by her real name, and she will sit next to me on my right on the third night. I will decide on where they will sit, and I don't want any complaints at all."
Fred, Lucy, Ellie, Gemma, and Angela nod their heads as they curtsy and bow. They left the Beast's bedchamber and returned to Luke, Paige, Sarah, Anne, and Ella (Rosabella). The head of the household stayed behind, and he had a long talk with the Beast. Fred and Lucy helped Luke as well as Paige to get ready.
Ellie and Gemma told Anne and Sarah where they would be sitting at the diner for the first two nights (but they didn't tell them about the third night) while they helped them get ready. Angela helped Ella (Rosabella) prepare, and she told her where she would sit on the third night. Ella (Rosabella) sighed with relief that she would never wear rags again, and she felt freedom for the first time in ages.
It was five to seven as Luke, Paige, Anne, Sarah, and Ella (Rosabella) was led to the dining room. Luke was blown away when he saw Ella (Rosabella), and he knew that she was feeling nervous as it was her first time eating with the rest of the family for a long time. Paige, Anne, and Sarah complained as soon as they saw Ella (Rosabella).
Sarah walked up to the head of the table, and she stood on the right-hand side of the chair. Luke stood behind the chair, which is facing the head of the table, as he took some deep breaths in with Paige standing on his right and Ella (Rosabella) standing on his left. Anne stood two chairs away from Ella (Rosabella), Sarah stood next to the head of the table, and they waited for the head of the Palace to arrive at the dining table.
There was a clap of thunder and a gust of wind. Anne, Sarah, and Paige jumped out of their skins. Ella (Rosabella) slowly looked over her right shoulder, and she saw Emperor Carl. She turned around, and she did a deep curtsy as Anne and Sarah turned to their right as they tried to work out why Ella (Rosabella) had curtsy so profoundly. Luke turned around, and he bowed low as Paige stood on his left. Anne, Sarah, and Paige curtsy.
They stood up, and Emperor Carl beckoned Luke to stand in front of him. Luke walked over to Sultan Carl, and he stood in front of him as Emperor Carl announced to him. "I am going to let six people join us, and they know where they are sitting. All three of your daughters have to behave for tonight and the two nights. I will talk to one of your daughters tonight, tomorrow night and the third night after the meal. I will keep an eye on your daughters, and they have to see me during the day before they deduction. One of your daughters has decided to stay here after the third day, and the rest of her family has to leave."
