"Eat up." A man said as he slid a tray of food through the slot in the bars of the cell.

The woman looked at the day-old rice, a white piece of chicken that looked so rubbery it could bounce off the floor if given the chance and a bruised apple in disgust.

"What the hell is this shit? I am not eating this." The woman proclaims loudly as she slings the contents of the tray all over the cell floor. "I am your Queen, go tell the kitchen to make me some fresh White Truffle Tagliolini and bring a chilled bottle of white wine."

"My apologies your Highness," The man bows mocking her, " I am new here, and did not recognize your greatness. I beg you to please forgive this lowly one. Is there anything else you require, my lady?"

"Yes, have my handmaiden bring me new clothes, I will shower while I wait for my food."

"At once,"He walks over to the door and yells to another, "Valdin!"

"What?"

"Go and retrieve her highness the coldest bottle or white wine from the kitchen and tell the chef to cook some fresh White Truffle Tagliolini and have it sent to the suite."

"You can't be serious?"

"Of course I am, her majesty has requested it, and we must not disappoint her."

"Alright." He replied and headed towards the kitchen.

"Also have Maisy bring the 'Queen' a clean outfit."

"I don't get paid enough for this shit."

"I will make sure you are taken care of when you return."

"You better." He yelled behind him, as he walked away."

"What is your name?"

"Raumel, your highness."

"Well, Raumel, let me out. I don't know how I ended up in this cell, but I can guarantee that before the end of the day, you shall be rewarded."

"Thank you, your majesty, but there is no greater reward than serving my queen."

"You are truly a loyal servant.

Ralumel walked three steps behind her. Not only was it to humor 'the queen' but it let him acknowledge Maisy without her knowing.

"You are not my handmaiden. Where is Annika?"

"M'lady, Annika is sick, I will be taking her place until she is better."

"Alright then. What is your name?"

"Maisy, m'lady.

"Well, Maisy, serve me well and you shall have a permanent position among my staff."

"Thank you m'lady." She bowed to her and continued, "I have laid your clothes on the bed. Is there anything else I can do for you while I wait for your food?"

"Not at the moment. I will call when I require your presence."

"Of course, m'lady." Both Ralumel and Maisy waited in the hallway as 'her majesty' went to bathe and change.

"What the hell is going on?" Maisy asked him. "Who the hell is that woman? And why did Valdin tell me to play along with this scheme?"

"For some reason this bitch thinks she is the queen."

"That still does not answer the question of why we are playing along."

"I am bored."

"So you decided to play pretend with a delusional woman? What do you get out of this?"

"Behind all that dirt and grime, she is not so bad looking. I plan to have some fun with her and Valdin later." He said with a sadistic grin.

"What do I get out of this?"

"What do you want?"

"A future favor."

"Sounds easy enough, sure."

"Here is the wine you requested."

"Hold on a second before you bring it in."

Ralumel took out some powder he had in his pocket and poured it into the glass, mixing it with the wine.

"What is that?"

"GHB," He answered, "Now let us know when she is asleep."

"Here is your wine, m'lady, your food will be served momentarily."

"Thank you Maisy, you may go until my food is ready to be served."

"As you wish, m'lady."
