The rain dropped on the grass , making the green color look more enriching, Marissa looked up to the sky and smiled allowing the rain to drip on her face , making her beautiful long brown hair get wet . She hummed happily as she ran round the field , enjoying the beautiful moment .
"Mari!!". A voice sounded , Marissa turned to the direction and smiled.
"Coming!". She shouted and picked up the basket on the ground and ran .

Black pots could be seen cooking on hot coal as the soup boiled fervently in it. Maids could be seen attending one work or the other. The old wooden door opened and Marissa entered, dripping wet from the rain but cared none the less.
" Were you planning on sleeping in the rain or something ?". Adela asked.
" If i hadn't called her she probably would've slept in the rain". Joan chipped in.
" Where is it ?". Adela uttered and Marissa brought the basket forward, showcasing the parsley.
" Why this small quantity?". Adela asked.
"I wasn't able to get much this time ". Marissa replied and Adela made a grunt .
"Parsley's plenty all over Camelot,you can't tell me you found only these ?". Adela barked.
"What else,she was busy playing like a kitten in the rain forgetting she had work to do ". Joan chipped in again. And Marissa rolled her eyes earning a chuckle from Joan. Adela sighed .
" Go on now ,and get me more parsley I need to put in the soup". Adela said and Marissa made a pout .
" It's raining and I'm drenched ,can i wait till it stops ?". She asked more like a whine this time Adela's hard gaze softened and she poked her head .
" Oh you child , always playing smart huh? Alright fine, immediately the rain stops you go into the woods to fetch me a whole lots of parsley ". Adela said and Marissa let out a dazzling smile .
"Sure".
"Now go into the palace and serve his royal highness his tea ". Adela instructed giving her the tray .
"Ah,why don't I help out ". Joan instantly replied and made to collect the tray from Marissa, Adela spanked her hands.
" Go finfish your work and face your business". She said . Marissa chuckled as she saw how Joan's face turned to a frown.
" Don't be long ". Adela warned .
" Yes ma'am ". Marissa returned and left , heading into the palace . The big door opened and she entered with the permission of the guards who she gretted by nodding her head . She walked through the courtyard and entered the palace. Emperor Robert sat majestically in his royal chair as his wife queen Beatrice sat next to him.
"Good day your majesty,my queen". Marissa bowed and the king answered by raising his hands while the queen nodded. She walked forward and served them the steaming cup of tea.
" Hope it's black tea i suppose ?" The queen asked .
" Yes my queen ". Marissa answered and when she finished serving she bowed and went out .
As she walked through the courtyard humming happily to herself, immediately a strong arm pulled her into a small narrow area, making Marissa gasp in fear. She looked up and saw the handsome face grinning at her . She hit his chest .
" Ouch!". He groaned.
" Why you do you have to always make me sacred everytime ? ". she yelled and the hunter eyes smiled at her .
