Chapter 4: Chapter Three
Chapter Text
I woke up with no sense of time and a reminder I was in a palace, which meant I was actually a prince. These thoughts were too deep first thing in the morning so I just rolled over on the unfamiliar bed. I took some time to look around. I hadn't been functional enough yesterday to do more than crawl into bed.
The bed was by far larger than my own. It was, also, significantly softer and less worn than the one I had at home. The blankets were a little warm, though and it was getting uncomfortable. I rolled out of bed onto plush carpet that was heaven on my feet. I could have probably slept on the floor it was so comfortable. Of course the palace would be so plush.
I walked into the attached bathroom that was probably about the size of my room at home, if not bigger. It had a Jacuzzi tub and a large, walk-in shower. It had a huge mirror over a rather expansive counter top. I went and got dressed in some clothes from my suitcase. I wasn't quite ready to go into the closet. I walked out the door to see Louis on duty.
"Good morning, Prince!" How can he be so perky this early?
"Good, maybe. Morning, definitely." He let out a chuckle, which made me smile in turn.
"So what's the plan for today?"
"Well, first you need to eat breakfast. Then I was going to take you on a tour of the castle. Later, Princess Gemma and Queen Magdalena will be home, so you'll probably have dinner and a chat with them."
"Mk." I dreaded the talk, but it wouldn't help to focus solely on that so I focused on food instead. I walked in to find a counter covered in breakfast foods. Louis walked over like this was the norm, so I guess it was and I followed suit. I picked up a pastry while Louis started the tour.
"This is the kitchen. When you want a quick meal, you can typically find them banquet style on the counter. Mostly the staff use it, but I figure you might like this better than sitting alone at a dining table, Prince."
"Thanks." While I did appreciate it, I still wish he wouldn't use my moniker. Some of the staff had decided to look over and size me up. It wasn't a comfortable feeling, and I started to fidget. Louis didn't comment; though he led me back out of the kitchen to start the tour.
We walked out one of the doors and into a dining hall. It looked fancy and polished with an extended wood table.
"Now this is where most of the formal dinners occur. In all likelihood, that will be the only time you use this room, assuming you aren't posh and have an obsession with eating in dining rooms, Prince."
"That would be a no." We were moving on to the next room.
He took me through the banquet hall and the living room and various sitting rooms. It would have been boring except for the fact it was Louis giving the tour. We kept polite conversation and threw out random remarks as we went. I tried to make a mental map, but I soon got lost after several hours of identical hallways.
