~The next morning~ (With Amy)

A bucket of water was poured onto Amy's head as she sits in the bath. She is being washed by King Jules' personal maids and she gets irritated by the second. 

"How long is this going to be? It's starting to get cold." The purple hedgehog smiles, "Princess Amelia, we've only just started the bath." "Ugh..." She shivers and sinks lower into the water. 

Cream nervously walks into the room, making Amy pop out of the water. She was carrying rags and bottles, "The king sends his best bath rags and soap for Princess Amelia." Amy rolls her eyes and the light blue hedgehog takes it, "This is perfect, Princess Amelia. These will make your bath experience extraordinary." 

Amy groans, "Yeah, yeah, just get it over with." She puts her hands up, and they begin to wash her. The purple maid begins scrubbing her torso and she takes note of her chest, "My, my, forgive me for eyeing you as such, but, I've never seen a princess with such an amazing figure." Amy shrieks and covers her chest, blushing.

The other maids squeal and ogle her, "Ooo, I too agree." "Such elegance. Any prince will positively be lucky to have a princess like you." The purple hedgehog smirks, "Like Prince Sonic." Amy frowns and sinks back into the water. 

The light blue hedgehog gasps as she sees Amy's wound, "Princess Amelia, you have a tattoo? Has someone branded?!" Amy looks at her and quickly covers it, "No, no, I um-" "Look under it. She's been cut!" "We need to tell the king right away!" "Wait, I-" 

They try to scurry out of the room but Cream quickly blocks them, "Um, w-wait!" The purple hedgehog frowns at her, "This princess has clearly been branded by someone. Not to mention that hideous cut underneath. They have completely defaced her beauty. Now move out of the way you foolish rabbit!" 

Cream frowns back at her, "That may be but...um, what if perhaps she was injured and branded in the bath?" They stare at her in confusion, "Excuse me?" "If she were to have been defaced in the bath, then that would leave you ladies at fault. If that were the case...then the person who would need to be punished would be you three, right?" "It is clearly a baseless accusation. If it were us, why would we report it?" "Perhaps to cover your tracks...I mean, I only just came in, I saw nothing. And with the princess backing my statement, well, it would be a pretty tight accusation."

The purple hedgehog scoffed, "S-Surely the princess wouldn't fall for such foolish dribble. Right?" They look at her and Amy shrugs, "I don't know, this bath wasn't really satisfactory. It may be worth reporting. Besides, I don't remember seeing this tattoo before the party..." Cream nods, "And were it not you ladies who washed and changed Princess Amelia after she fell unconscious?" 

They look at each other in fear, making Cream and Amy smile. "I mean, as the head nurse I could patch the princess up, cover up the brand and nobody has to know. Unless I'm still nothing but a foolish rabbit." 

They quickly fall at her feet begging for forgiveness, "No, no, no, please forgive us. Please we'll do anything!" Cream looks at Amy and she nods with approval. 

Cream nods as well, "Well, I suppose I could assist your problem...if you return the favor." They hop up and nod. "Of course, anything!"
