**Tubbo's POV**
I quickly run to grab a towel. I spilled water bucket on the ground. I know how endermen feel about water! How could I be so stupid? The prince is going to kill me if he finds out.
"Hi Tubbo! Where you off-"
"No time!" I run past another servant of the castle as I open the door to some of the maids doing laundry.
"Towel quick. Two towels actually." I hold up two fingers. They quickly throw me two towels and I nod in thanks as I run back to my mess. I didn't mean to spill, I just knocked it over while washing the floors.
As soon as I make it back, I see the one thing that I really didn't want to see. Prince Ranboo standing there and staring daggers into my eyes.
"What is the meaning of this?" He raises his head in authority.
"I am so so sorry your Highness. I didn't mean to make a mess, I acciden-"
"Enough of your excuses!" He cuts me off and I shut my mouth quickly. He teleports over the spill and begins walking towards me. "Clean this up at once, and the moment you are finished, you will begin cleaning every tree on the castle grounds." What? The trees?
"But your Highness-"
"And that's final! Understood?" I clench my teeth hard so that I don't say anything that I'll regret.
"Yes, your Highness." He smiles in victory and I bow as he passes me. The moment he's out of hearing range, I sigh loudly. He's such a brat. None of the servants like him. It's crazy because King Philza is such an amazing ruler, someone who clearly cares for his Kingdom. Prince Ranboo's brother, Prince Wilbur, is also very kind. What went wrong with Prince Ranboo?
I clean the spill quickly and finish up that area of the floor before starting to walk back to drop off the now wet towels. How the hell am I supposed to wash the trees? What does that even mean? I know that the Prince tends to take strolls in the garden around this time, as do many people in the kingdom, so he's clearly trying to humiliate me. Joke is on him because it won't work, I'll clean the trees and I won't let it bother me. I will not let it get to me.
I walk back into the laundry room. "Welcome Tubbo," Puffy greets me, kind as always, "did you make it in time?" I lower my head slightly and shake my head, no. "I'm sorry to hear that. Was he mad?"
I shrug, "As mad as he is about anything else I suppose."
"What's the punishment this time?" Another maid says from behind and I can't help but sigh loudly and roll my eyes.
"I have to 'wash the trees' what the hell is that? How am I supposed to wash trees?!"
Puffy rolls her eyes, "he's just trying to be a jerk, don't let it get to you Tubbo."
"I know I know. It still sucks though."
"Unfortunately there's nothing we can do. He is the Prince of the Origin Kingdom after all. You should go before you get in more trouble. Here take this." She hands me a cloth.
I mumble a quick thanks before making my way out to 'wash trees'.
**Philza's POV**
I wonder where Ranboo is, I asked him to join me in the dining room today at this time to discuss matters affecting the kingdom. He's usually out at the garden at this time so I suppose I shall start there.
I walk to the garden and I notice a young boy scrubbing a tree?
"Hey mate what are you doing?" I ask kindly.
He doesn't turn around, continues scrubbing the tree, "I'll tell you what the hell I'm doing, that pretentious, prissy, son of a-" he turns around, "oh, Your Majesty! I am so sorry." He bows quickly.
"No, no, it is quite alright. Rise my boy." I smile at him. He rises slowly. "Now I'd like it if you could continue your statement from earlier."
"Oh, it was nothing. I am sorry for speaking to you in that manner in the first place." He looks down guiltily.
"You're forgiven. What is your name and why are you scrubbing a tree?"
"My name is Tubbo and I am scrubbing because-"
"Ah father! So nice of you to join me in the garden on this fine afternoon!" Ranboo walks up to us.
"Yes, well, as beautiful as it is, I did request your presence earlier today, so that we could discuss Kingdom matters."
"So sorry father, I must have lost track of time." He is now standing in front of me. He glances over to Tubbo, "you are dismissed servant. Return to your duties." He nods and bows before he leaves to go scrub another tree.
I sigh in annoyance. "Ranboo, how many times have I told you, these are the people that we are meant to protect. They should be able to feel safe around us and they should feel respected by us."
"Father, we are the ones who are royal, not them."
"It does not matter, son, we are all the same, servant, royalty, everyone deserves to be loved and respected. Including that boy who is scrubbing a tree for whatever reason. Go tell him that he is relieved of his duties for the rest of the day, he has worked hard enough."
"But father-"
"Now!" I widen my eyes and stare at him, showing him that I am serious.
"Yes father." He walks over slowly to the boy and speaks to him. The boy bows and walks away. I'm assuming he did as I asked.
Ranboo comes back. "Good. Now we must go. Wilbur is waiting for us."
