Prince Caelan

2. Favour

Acela POV

Finishing my morning routine I change into my uniform to get ready for the last day before my day off.

The last few days have been hard, really hard on my human body but I like the work, it makes me feel useful again and I've really grown on the people here.

I've made friends here and I'm actually having fun here.

I know it's not a glamorous life I've chosen to live but if my mother ever told me anything in our time together is that, you must live life your way and not the way someone wants you to live it, spend every moment seeing the positive and cherish the moments.

I'm beginning to understand what she meant by it.

A knock at my door interrupts me from putting my work shoes on.

Who could that be? It's too early for Mason to come for me. I quickly slip on my other shoe and smooth down my clothes. Damn is that a crease on the skirt? No time!

Opening the door I see the face of Elizabeth, head of management. "Good Morning Miss Shaw." She says in an overly happy tone.

Not noticing Brim with her but I notice she's holding something. I smile politely. "Good Morning Ma'am."

She hands me what seems to be a uniform in a bag. "Today you're with me dear, I'm afraid time is scarce so change and I'll explain on the way." She hints at the outfit and I nod confused.

With her? What? I quickly unzip the bag and take out a similar-looking uniform but this is clearly a dress, it's definitely not a maid's uniform, why do I have a server's uniform? Am I even qualified to wear this?

I quickly change into the dress and slip on the new shoes that were in the bag, heels with a little height to them, not too difficult to walk in but I'm slightly embarrassed as I've never worn heels before.

Please don't let me trip in front of anyone.

I grab my phone and put it on silent and put it in my pocket as I go back to the door to leave with Elizabeth.

She claps her hands together happy. "Oh wonderful, perfect fit! Now let's go, lots to do, such little time." She says glancing at her pocket watch.

I follow behind her uncomfortably as I try to walk in these damn shoes. "Um, so what are we doing today?" I ask trying to keep up.

She is all smiles when she looks at me. "Well dear today you are to serve the King and Queen, I'm afraid they need help with the upcoming event this Sunday as you've probably heard about."

I nod. "The 100th birthday of the two twins?" I ask as confirmation.

She frowns slightly. "Prince Caelan and Princess Lisla, be sure to address them as such." She says before leading us towards a lavish kitchen that is in full swing.

There are so many people in this huge kitchen it looks unreal to me, everyone here is busy and focused on doing something.

A huge pale old man comes towards Elizabeth as she smiles admiringly at the man. "Ah dear, this here is the new girl Acela Shaw. Acela this is my husband Ricardo." She introduces me as she shoved me forward slightly.

He is HUGE and I mean huge. This guy was pure muscle, he looked scary but also the kindest man ever at the same time.

Ricardo grins. "My! A beauty, pleasure to meet you miss." He says as he bows to me and I watch dumbfounded. Do I bow back? Or courtesy? I'm just standing like a weirdo smiling.
