Patricia and the Kingdom of Cardian

Chapter 3 (In the castle)

Then I continued my road. I was walking though the streets until I reached the big gates of the castle. At the entrance there were two guards who were looking around the streets I was aware that I woudn't passed the enctrance so easy, but I wanted to give it a try. I got closed to the guards and when they saw me imediatly asked me.

<<Excuse me lady, what can we do for you?>>

<< Excuse me but I'm looking for a worker here with the name Berda. It's an important matter, could you let me go inside the gates for a few minutes?>>

<<We are sorry beautiful lady, we can't help you with this, because it's an order to not let anyone pass, expept from the military team, the royal family and the worker team>>.

<<I understand, at least could you tell someone to tell at ms. Berda that I was looking for her...>>

<<Well...we can do so, please wait for a little>>

The one guard went inside, I was waiting for a few until I heard a woman voice. It was Berda.

<<Who was the person, who called me?>>

<<Ms. Berda good morning, I am the person who gave a room yesterday, do you remember me?>>

<<of course I do, you are the cute girl from an other country as you said>>

<<I was looking for you here, I wanted to speak with you this morning in the hotel, but a guy told me that you work here in the mornings.>>

<<Yes, I work here every day, except weekends, so what can I do for you?>>

<< the thing is that I wanted το talk with you for a matter, it's really important!!!>>

<<I see>> Then she turned two the guards and told them....

<<My gentlemen, please...could you let this small lady to pass the gates for a while?

<<Yes>>
They said and then Berda and I went inside.

The place was really huge. All around was a big garden with many kinds of flowers and plants. We walking through the paths and then I started my conversation.

<< Ms. Berda, the reason in which I came here to find you is because I need your help for something>>.

<<I unterstand you my child, tell me...how can I help you?>>

<<Well the thing is that I am not from here as I told you yesterday>>

<<Yes, I know it>>

<<And the problem is that I don't have a lot of money for making a living here...>>

<< Do you have a family member nearby to support you?

<<I don't have any>>

<<And how did you managed to come here alone?>> She said with a serious face.

<<That's a long story, I can tell you about it some other day>>

<<Alright>>

<<So, ms. Berda, I wanted to ask you if I could stay at the hotel for a month...>>

<< Of course you can!!!!>>

<<But the reason is exactly that I don't have a cash one me to pay you... can I work at the hotel like a waitress? You don't need to pay me, just a bed and a piece of bread will be fine!!!>>

<<What nonsense are you talking about little girl! Of course you can work as a waitress, but your salary will be given to you normally!!!>>

<<Are you saying it for real?>>

<<Yes I do!>>

<<Thank you very much ms. Berda you are an amazing person!!!>>

<<I said and then I gave her a hug >>

<<Cute child, you didn't tell me your name...>>
