Aria POV:

The next day came suddenly and I decided to wash the dishes as the girls served the royal family, I wasn't ready to stand for hours as I watch them eat breakfast. Once I was done I went straight to the hall and cleaned it with an ease, oh my... am I so glad to sweep the floor with a long broom and mop the floor with a mopping stick. 😃

Once I was done cleaning I went straight to the garden and sat down on the bench in which the king and I sat on yesterday. Then shortly I saw Mrs. Margaret walking towards me and waving at me. Is Mrs. Maggie waving at me. That's surprising.

"Good morning ma'am".

"Same to you dear... How was your night?". She asked.

OMG did Mrs. Maggie just call me dear? She also asked me how my night was. Since I arrived to this palace... I've known Mrs. Margaret as a distant and quite woman. She has never been nice to us maidens. She speaks to us calm when she's in a good mood and harsh when we frustrate her effort.

"Aria... ". She mentioned bringing me back to reality.

"Yes ma... oh yes my night was nice". I answered as she sat down beside me.

"How has your health been".

"Good... In normal terms".

"Nice to hear... ".

"Mrs. Margaret I thought you hate me? Why bother asking about my health?". I instantly said. Not knowing when I said so.

"No dear I don't hate you... Why think such thing?"

"Well, I can recall the time you slapped me for challenging the king, you said I'll never have respect the way he did till I die and there were a lot of things you said to me on that same day". I explained and shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh that... I apologies dear... You see the thing is... I really like you Aria... When you approached the king with such attitude I was disappointed, I was wrong though... I would have heard from your side of the story and why you acted in such way... He is the king Aria, on normal circumstances you weren't meant to act like that... I've told the kings parents how different you were from other maidens... But when they heard about your attitude towards the king they weren't happy... I apologies for acting like that towards you". She apologised.

I was shocked... My eyes where wide opened... Mrs. Margaret likes me... She thinks I'm different from other maidens... She apologised to me... Me Aria...what is happening?

"Dear... ". She said bringing me back to my right senses.

"Arh... Mrs. Maggie there's no need to apologies... I've forgiven you a long time ago". I said and saw myself hugging her. This is crazy.

Okay... This is not me at all.

"Thanks dear... I heard you make perfumes".

"What... No I can't... Who said so?". I asked.

"Maya and Clara said so".

I knew those idiot won't keep their mouth shut.

"Mrs. Maggie... Why believe them 😅😅😅. You know those two... They meant someone else". I said nervously.

"No dear... They said it was you... They both showed me a sample of the perfume you made for them".

"Oh I see... I do make Perfumes then". Was my only answer. I'm going to kill does rats.

"Beautiful I want you to make for king Anthony and his parents".

"I'll love to do so. But it seems they'll have to pay". I said immediately.
