Ortiz de Rozaz Palace
"Pinababalik ka ulit sa Ortiz de Rozaz, hija, hindi matutuloy 'yung pag-transfer mo sa Mendez de Sotomayor."
Nakakunot lang ang noo ni Natalie habang kasakay sa paglalakad ang isa sa mga kasamahan niyang palace maid. Kanina lang, inaayos na niya ang mga kagamitan niya para sa paglipat niya sa ibang palasyo—at nahinto nang bigla siyang pinuntahan ng kasamahan niya na kailangan niyang pumunta sa opisina ng reyna. Her palace maid co-worker told her that the Queen—who is obviously Queen Merida, wants to see her at the office.
Kaya naman naguguluhan siya sa kung anong mangyayari. Kakautos lang nito 'nung isang araw na pinalilipat na siya sa ibang palasyo.
Ilang segundo naman ay nasa harap na sila ng opisina. Kumatok muna ang kasamahan niya bago binuksan ang pinto. "Mauna ka na, Natalie." The middle-aged lady signalled her to go inside. Creasing her forehead, Natalie finally entered the Queen's office.
She stopped when she noticed who was sitting in the Queen's chair.
It was Madrid's young wife, Sofia Elena of Snowdon.
"Bakit ako nandito?" Nakakunot-noong tanong niya rito. At bakit ito ang nakaupo ngayon sa pwesto ni Merida?
"Hindi na matutuloy 'yung paglipat mo sa ibang palasyo." Anito saka napabuntong-hininga. Kung tutuusin, hindi malabong mas pipiliin ito ni Madrid na gawing asawa—Sofia is really beautiful and young. Rich and aristocratic.
Natalie crossed her arms and shook her head in disbelief, "Iyon ang sabi ni Merida sa kin, iyon ang utos niya. Kung sabi niya, lilipat ako, lilipat ako." Her voice was firm—while Sofia Elena just stared at her and she knew she wasn't amused at the way she answered her.
But who cares anymore? She's just a nobody. She doesn't belong to the upper class because she is just a palace maid. A poor woman.
"You won't follow her orders anymore," Fia answered her.
Tinaasan niya ito ng kilay.
"I am the Queen now." She suddenly added. Natahimik naman siya. Sofia Elena looked serious and Natalie felt a sense of power in her voice.
"This is going to be my office from now on. The Royal Household Staff will be under me now. Merida is not anymore the head of the household. Everyone will not anymore follow any orders from her, the orders should come from me. No one will interfere as long as I'm the Queen."
