"Jennette my good girl, your father the emperor, and your sister the princess would be very happy if you stayed kind and naive"
Those were the words of my uncle.
"You should be nice and innocent and caring and stupid all the time"
And those were the words of my aunt.
And I, for some reason can't say anything except "yes!", to these words.
I felt like a doll that only does what her owner wants her to do.

"Jennette! Why are you in the library I told you to play with your dolls didn't I?"
My uncle said,' But why? I want to read books, I don't like those stupid dolls!!'
That's what I wanted to say but the only words that came out of my mouth were "Sorry uncle"

"Don't you like this dress, Jennette it suits you"
My aunt said.
'no it's ugly I don't like this kind of dress' that was what I wanted to say but "Yes!!" was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

And what's more, are the strange voices in my head, they always tell me that I'm useless and I should stay like this. It says that I should obey and for some reason I can't even think by myself cause my mind is always blank, every move and those voices control every word.

No one's POV:

"Did you wake Miss Jennette?" a maid asked another.

"No, I thought it was your turn to wake her up!" said the other maids.

"Wait you didn't wake her yet? She's going with the duke to visit the imperial library 'cause he has some work there" another maid said.

The maids started fighting until they heard footsteps that they knew.

It was the head maid, Helen, "so our maids aren't doing their work right? "she said calmly.

The maids got very nervous and scared of Helen.

She smiled scarily," today all of you are jobless, you go back to your homes" she said still smiling.

The maids started crying and begging Helen to forgive them, but Helen was the devil himself when it came to work and her lady Jennette.

"Guards, take them out," she said, turning around and heading toward Jennette's room.

She became the head maid at a young age.
_______________________________________

Helen was walking in the hallway that leads to Jennette's room.

The only sound heard was her heels clicking along the floor.

After a few minutes of walking, she reached a huge white door.

She prepared her hands, then she knocked twice and opened the door.
___________________________________

Jennette's room was dark as always, cause she hates the least sight of light when she's sleeping.

She went straight to the curtains as she opened them.

The shine of the sun went in, and its warmth spread inside the cold dark room.

"mmh" the sleeping figure started moving slowly.

"Lady Jennette, it's time to wake and get ready to go to the library with the duke," said Helen in a low voice, cause Jennette's head is sensitive in the morning.

Jennette woke up slowly, as she set down on her bed her eyes half closed and her hair messy.

She rubbed her eyes slowly as she muttered "Good morning Helen" in her cute sleepy voice.

"Good morning my lady" Helen managed to reply.

Jennette stood up and started heading toward the bathroom, Helen followed her silently.

After the shower:

Helen prepared Jennette's clothes:

"it looks pretty," Jennette said with sparkles in her eyes

"it looks pretty," Jennette said with sparkles in her eyes.

"you like green it's your favorite color right?" asked Helen.

Jennette stared at her as her smile dropped for a few seconds but she smiled again.

"yes, it is my favorite color!!" Jennette said, Helen for some reason had a weird feeling but she just brushed it off.

Jennette's pov:

I stared at the dress that Helen chose for me,' I hate green' that's what I wanted to say.

"you like green it's your favorite color right?" I heard Helen saying, my smiling face disappeared for a few seconds,' How can you say that Helen you don't even know that I hate green the most?', I wanted to say this but all that came out of my mouth was "yes, it is my favorite color!!".

My smiling face came back, the only thing I wanted to know was why couldn't I say and do the things I wanted to do.

I feel controlled, I can't do things normally like people and tell my feelings and what I hate and love, I'm like a doll that does as her owners please,

And my question is who are those owners who are controlling me?

"no little one, there are things you are not obliged to know,"  the voice in my head said.

'this voice again, it's creepy I hate it' I thought.

"I can hear you, you know," it said.

'ah right it reads my mind, and I'm the only one who hears it.'

"you know when little puppies try to bite their owner, it gets punished,"  it said.

"come on Helen, I should get ready Uncle is waiting," I said ignoring the voice.
