Grace was urgently awoken out of her sleep at the right time.. Prince Michael was just about to kiss her and she was bound to awaken from the horrid scene anyway. Grace sat up and fanned herself.
Grace: I need nothing from him. I am my own person. I shall not be pestered by his foolishness any longer.
She said before she stood up and got ready for her daily chores. She went down the stairs and swept the palace floors, then she mopped them. She polished the silverware and dusted. When she got to the kitchen, Lucy was prepared for a scandal of teasing.
Lucy: Nice of you to wake up this morning.
Grace: Hello to you too.
Lucy: Grace. I honestly need your help.
Grace sighed.
Grace: What is the dilemma.
Lucy: Alice is with child and she is sick again.
Grace: What has this to do with me?
Lucy stopped washing the dishes and turned around.
Lucy: Grace.. I need you to deliver the food this morning.
Grace: Do I not always?
Lucy: Yes but.. You must deliver food to Prince Michael's chambers.
Grace: What?
She shouted. Lucy shushed her and twisted her lips.
Lucy: Hush yourself! You know the royal family arises at noon!
Grace held her lips and then glared at Lucy.
Grace: Well maybe I am to be sick of this! I hate serving them! Can they not use their own limbs? Get their own food? I hate them!
Grace screamed at Lucy before she was slapped and then held close.
Lucy: Grace.. You know not of what you speak. Just because the love of your life thinks less of you means not that you should hate him. Rather, love him and respect him.
Grace: No part of this has to do with love!
She said as she broke away from Lucy's grip and went to the stables to feed the animals. Before Grace fed them, she cried. She cried because of the stinging from the slap and the burning from the twisting of her lips. She also cried because she was slowly being torn apart. Her heart was being ripped to shreds. Grace dried her tears once she heard something and looked around.
Grace: Hello?
No one answered. Grace waited and then began to feed the animals.
Grace: Lady.. Such a darling, you are. My world of mysteries, I could tell and not a word shall pass your snout.
She said to Princess Dameta's horse.
Grace: Such a bother men can be. How would you feel about two horses.. Oh, forget it.. It's too..
Michael: Complicated?
Grace quickly looked to the side and bowed.
Grace: Morning your majesty.
Michael: Grace.. Good morning to you as well. Grace?
Grace: Pardon me my lord, I must go about my chores.
She said as she started to walk away.
Michael: Grace wait. I must tell you something.
Grace let out a sigh and stopped walking away from him.
