Sybil
"Uh , your highness , how can I help you ?"
"It's my birthday in a few days ."
He says walking up and down and I just stand there confused. He summoned me here to tell me this?
"Uh...that is really fortunate your highness. Everyone deserves to...grow...old."
I say rubbing the back of my neck feeling abnormal to this situation.
"Wow , didn't know you can stutter ."
"I'm not stuttering-" I say defensively." I just don't have words to offer your information , thank you."
"Well then...."
Silence. After silence.
"Why did you summon me here your highness ? Disrespect unintended by the way , but I believe you didn't really feel the need to inform me you're growing old , did you?"
"No , you're right. I... I have a question for you."
"Ok...."
"Do you...have thoughts.?"
"Everybody has thoughts your highness. Even a blind person has thoughts. "
"Haha, but I meant about me."
"Well we serve you so I believe we always think about you , your highness. All of the maids do."
"Huh, right. I heard the queen has requested for your service to her ."
"Yes, she quite did ."
"Are you that close to Ludovica where she feels the need to recommend you to thee Queen ?"
"Yes. We are really close ."
"Is she your friend?"
"I guess so . She's one of my closest friends , that I can say definitely."
He looks away nodding but I can tell something is picking on him.
"Are you ok ?"
"Yes , you should go ."
"Ok , have a good one your highness."
.....
Cyrelas
She's friends with Ludo. Close friends. Which means she could never do anything to hurt her . But I need her . It's humiliating to admit but it's true. My body needs, at least that one part of it . I should find someone to get my mind off her.
I press on the bell and Vittorio comes in immediately.
"Call Heather."
"Yes your highness." He says but I can feel his eyes criticizing me but I need to cool off this passion. I woke up abnormal today , because of a dream I had . She was seducing me and I played along . It has been like that for about a week now and I don't know how to stop it . It hurts like a bee sting to know she doesn't dream like I do .
......
Sybil
What was that ? Was he confused or maybe he drank a potion .
"Sybil." I turn to see Ludovica approaching me.
I smile hugging her .
"What is it ?"
"Nothing, I'm here for the queen. I'm guessing you're heading there too." I nod and we walk together.
"I don't know if I should thank you or be mad?"
"You mean with the whole talking to the queen about you."
"Mmm. Why?"
"Because I wanted to spend time with you without any gossip . "
I stop and look at her seriously . I know that's not the real reason.
"Don't lie to me , I won't judge you I promise."
"Ok , I'm going to need you to keep an eye on Cyrelas."
"What!"
"Shhh. Are you mad , keep it down."
"Why?"
"Because our parents are thinking of marrying us and I don't want some whore to get close to him. "
"And all that after a month? Miss Julie would be back."
"I can make a plan . Please Sybil , try to distract him from all other ladies . Talk to him about me being a good cook or something, ok?"
"Yeah , but are you sure you're getting married."
"Just wait and watch ."
.....
"I promise your majesty , you won't be let down."
"I hope you live by your promises. Are you sure you saw Heather going into my son's room.?"
"Yes your majesty."
"Leave."
The servant leaves and I look at Ludovica. She looks defeated. I can tell even the queen sees it.
"This is the last time Ludovica, it's just that he doesn't know about our plans or he would've stopped being....him."
"Of course your Majesty ." She says but her voice is still unconvinced.
"Sybil , I'm going to ask you for a task . I hope you're up for it."
"Yes your Majesty."
"Ok , I want you to keep Heather away from my son's room."
"But I'm always here your Majesty."
"That's why I'll have to change plans . You are now to be a spy . I need you to tell me each detail regarding the whores of my son . I want each and every one of them out of my town for good . Do you hear me ."
"Yes yes , your Majesty. "
What!? Why is everyone asking me to look after him.
"More importantly , the reason why you're both here. It's his birthday in a few days and I need it to work out for all of us . Sybil , you have taken Miss Julie's duties meaning your job is to inform each maid of their own responsibilities. You make sure everything is in place . You may leave , I want to have a moment with Ludo."
"Thank you your Majesty."
Ugh. I don't even know everyone's responsibilities .
