Chapter 15

My jaw dropped because of what she said. She gave me a shy smile. Her cheeks were red.

I don't understand, why does she love that heartless Prince? Isn't she afraid of it? They say that it is so mysterious that it is even more frightening to approach this Prince.

"I bet you're wondering why I love the Prince. I believe, despite the speculations about him, he's really good."

I didn't answer her. I kept listening.

"I can't even figure out why I fell in love with the Prince. It is unclear to me why my heart beats faster every time I see him from afar."

She gave me a hopeful smile. Hoping for the Prince, hoping he would notice her.

"That's why I hope to be Prince Evron's servant. It's an honor for me. Even if he doesn't know the feelings I have for him."

Her eyes were filled with tears, but they did not flow down to her cheeks. She simply wiped it away and gave me a beautiful smile.

She asked me to put on the clothes she gave me first, because soon all the maids will be called for shopping for their respective servants of the higher ones.

I entered the bathroom and the uniform he gave me was hanging over my shoulder.

After I put on that uniform, I felt shy, the blouse I was wearing was almost too close to my body, causing my hourglass-like body to curve.

My bottom is a knee-length skirt. It was maroon, and my top dress was pure white.

I had no choice but to not wear it because when I asked Felly if she had another uniform, she had a smaller one.

Furthermore, I blew air to calm myself down.

You can do it, Celia!

You're sexy, so that's okay!

My indulgence.

"Are you sure you're okay with that form? You look so uncomfortable." Felly asked me.

We left the room to go to the hall, where the other maids of the palace were already present.

I looked at my uniform. My face crumpled and winced.

I looked at him again and nodded, disappointed. I cannot do anything.

"Okay. . ." she said hesitantly.

She opened the door, and we walked together down the dark hallway. We passed the Head Mistress's room, I remembered the look in her eyes again, I shudder every time I think about it.

She looks like a witch.

Felly and I went through something different from what Storm and I went through earlier. We walked longer, so I felt tired when we reached the hall.

Many people were already there, they were all talking about where they wanted to go.

Felly didn't leave my side, her hand was still wrapped around my arm. That's fine with me.

"You, Lia? Who do you want to serve?" she asked me.

I thought. I don't know any officials here, the only ones I know are Prince Evron and the King and Queen. But if you ask me, I prefer to serve the Queen so that I can observe and gather information from her.

"To the Queen. . . I want to serve the Queen faithfully." I'm lying.

She snorted because of my answer, she scratched her senses. "Are you sure you would like to serve the dear Queen?" She frowned.

I nodded to her.

"If I were you, I wouldn't want to serve the Queen because it is rumored that her servant hurt her for no reason. You are new here in the palace, so maybe you don't know. That news doesn't come out outside the palace because they would rather not spoil the image of the queen among the people," she said at length.

I swallowed because of what she said.

W-What if I serve the Queen? Will it hurt me too?

Even though I was shaking, I still managed to nod at her. I didn't speak, I just kept quiet and waited for the officers to arrive.

We lined up, Felly and I were still next to each other. There were many rows, and we were the first to go. In each row, there are three hundred maids in line.

This hall is big enough to fit many maids in it.

At the very front there is a low platform there, where the throne and throne of the King and Queen are. I can't help but not talk about it because of the annoyance I feel.

After a while the Head Mistress went up to that stage, she looked at the maids slowly. Her two arms and behind him while doing so.

She wears a different uniform than us. That looks more elegant.

I can't look the Head Mistress straight in the eyes, every time I look at her, I feel like I'm in a horror movie! So creepy! Her skin is also wrinkled, so that makes me even more scared.

"T-Does the Head Mistress really look like that?" I whispered too Felly.

I heard her soft giggles. "Yes, you'll get used to it, and you'll always see her. Don't worry, the Head Mistress is kind, even if she's a bit strict." he whispered back to me.

I nodded.

We fell silent when the King and Queen arrived, they sat on their thrones.

All my companions bowed, I almost couldn't follow because I didn't know what to do.

"Dear King and Queen." they said together.

When we settled down, my eyes immediately fell on the man standing next to the King. His build is handsome. His eyes were still the same as before. Lifeless and unread.

I didn't even notice that he came. He is like the wind when he moves.

The Prince looked around the crippled maids until his eyes stopped on me, which made my heart skip a beat.

Our eyes met, but I immediately avoided it, I couldn't stand it.

Next came the ministers of the palace, these are all old men, you can only see the faces of the ministers who are corrupting the citizens.

"Let the picking begin!" shout from somewhere.

I felt Felly's hand holding mine, so I looked at her, feeling the trembling and coldness of her palm.

There is a trace of nervousness in his eyes.

Is this really how he wants to serve Prince Evron?

Ministers have started shopping for maids, until the minister is the only buyer.

His eyes wandered all over the maids. They were all bowed down and looked terrified.

I don't know why my fellow maids are acting like this. It seems they don't want to go to the Prime minister.

The prime minister's eyes stopped on me, and gradually his eyes swept over me, until his eyes stopped on my chest almost because of my blouse.

I know he gives me a different look. Hot and malicious. Pervert!

My teeth gritted while looking at this minister. His face is unbelievable!

My teeth grinned even more when the corner of his lips slowly lifted while looking at my chest. Rude! D*mn!

He was not moved by the evil stares I gave him, he seemed to be happy.

I know that this maniac minister will choose me! But I do not want to! I would rather not serve people like him!

My breathing became heavy and my grip on Felly's hand tightened as the Prime Minister slowly approached me.

He couldn't get rid of the smile on his lips.

D*mn it! I want to remove that smile from his lips!

When he finally got close to me, I bravely met his playful eyes, I could read there the desire for me.

I stared at him intently, as if that was the only way I could recover.

In my entire life, I have never had this much!

When he seductively grabbed my long loose hair. He played with a few pieces of it with his finger, looking at it as he did so.

He slowly looked into my eyes again, his smile grew bigger, so I could see his rotten teeth.

I know he can see the annoyance and anger on my face for him, but he ignores it.

King, I think this old man is dying on the floor.

"What is your name, beautiful young lady?" because of the softness of his voice.

I almost wanted to properly when I smelled his bad breath.

It stinks!

I winced because it looked like I inhaled his breath completely, it was stinging my nose.

I didn't answer him, I remained silent.

I know when I answer, he will speak again. I don't want to die from the smell of his breath!

"Why can't you speak, beautiful young lady? I just asked you a quick question, so you wouldn't—" he couldn't finish what he was saying when a deep voice interrupted him.

"I want to go pick when I become a servant because I have something else to do

May I go ahead of you, Prime Minister?" that raspy voice woke us all up.

My gaze flew to Prince Evron, he was approaching us.

I saw the Prime Minister grit his teeth, obviously not agreeing with the Prince's wishes, but it did nothing.

"If only I could?" he said sarcastically.

Prince Evron finally got closer to our way. His cold eyes looked directly into my eyes.

"From now on you will be my servant." he reaped coldly.

My jaw dropped because of what he said, and I slowly looked at Felly who was beside me, he was bent over, and his fist was tightly clenched.
