The last person Misty wanted to see was Princess Lucinda. She still hadn't gotten over how poorly the princess treated her back on the island. Misty loathed the ground that Princess Lucinda walked on.

The only reason why she was still being allowed at the castle was because until Prince Juval said otherwise she was still one of his personal retainers and she was treated accordingly. She knew that the tables could easily turn and she could be out begging in the streets.

If the other servants who she had acted superior to in the past realized, her lot in life was no better than theirs. That they had no reason to put up with her temper tantrums, or nasty disposition or hate filled put downs.
