When Prince Ray woke up from his slumber he saw Anna with the laundry basket in hand picking up his  clothes from his wardrobe.

He flinched up and turned to the side.

"Oh um, P-prince Ray your awake." She looked to the side moving away.

He nodded slowly and rubbed his eyes.

This is too awkward.

They both thought.

"Uhm- when did I fall asleep?" He asked.

"Yesterday when your nose s-started bleeding you drifted to sleep and now it's the morning." Anna explained.

"Oh..." Ray quietly tried to sort out his head.

I had the strangest dream...

"May I ask if you had any dreams?" As if she knew what he was thinking, Anna folded another clothe in the basket and moved closer to retrieve a suit under his bed.

"W-well, I can't really explain it. I barely remember it." Prince Ray rubbed his heads.

"I understand. Dreams are disturbing at times, but also confusing." Anna nodded and stood up. She was about to leave before Ray got out of his up bed to strike up a conversation like Oliver said.

"Wait-" he lifted up his  hand as he stood up.

Anna immediately covered her  eyes and went red.

"W-what's wrong Anna?" He  asked and came closer.

"Y-you..."

"Yes...?"

"YOU HAVE NO SHIRT!" She shouted  getting really flustered and left the room quickly.

"Oh-" He realised.

"Dammit." He slapped his forehead.
"It's not very royal of me to do that, I should have known. " He covered his face and slightly blushed.

"I might as well do the laundry myself." He put on his royal wear and picked up the laundry basket, making his way outside to the busy Castle.

He couldn't find Anna anywhere.

She probably thought he was a weird perverted Guy with anger issues.

And he had just made things more awkward.

Then he remembered, in the past few days, to his delight he hadn't been in contact with Norman.

But he still knew people paid attention to him more.

He could tell.

"Morning Mary." He said in his dull normal voice as he brought his Laundry over.

Mary was the head maid.

"Ahh, Young Ray, how come your doing your Laundry?" She asked.

"Well, the maid in my room kind of forgot it there, so I'm just here to do it instead."  Ray scratched his head.

"Oh, which maid?  They need to disciplined. In the rule book it clearly says on page 856: Obey Orders." Mary replied.

I shouldn't rat her out when it was technically my fault.

"Um, I can't remember her name." Prince Ray lied.

"Hmm, I'll find out then." Mary started walking forward.

"That won't be necessary! I'm sure she just made a mistake." Prince Ray stopped Mary.

"You want to protect this maid a lot, what makes her so special?"
