Prince Alec Leonidas P.O.V

"You know some day I will be queen" aria says holding my hand tightly

"I know my love" I state

"I cannot wait!" She exclaims

I nodded, I could wait. I could wait centuries, I didn't want to marry Aria. But my father the King already promised me to her when I was just a child.

A guard approached us "prince the King and queen would like a word with you"

"Could I come?" Aria asked holding my hand

I looked into her brown eyes and couldn't help but fall for her pouting "of course my love."

Gabriella POV

I have already spent less then twenty four hours here and I dreaded it, cleaning for the royal family was hard. you actually have to make everything spotless.

as I cleared the table which the King and Queen sat, I could see from the corner of my eye that they were talking with their son.

"You don't just allow any common person to walk into our kingdom and clean. she could be a spy or an assassin!" The King shouted

my eyes where fixed on the table, I couldn't move.

"she's just a girl" the prince spoke

I couldn't help but look at them and I instantly regretted it because they were staring at me.

"Look what you've done, you have frightened her!" The queen says in shock "come here"

I began to walk towards her and was shocked at how much she had looked like her son, they where both gorgeous I glanced at the King and saw scars all over his face.

It was like beauty and the beast.

"I've never seen a maid so pretty, are you also into pleasing the men?" Her question startled me

"N-no my queen, I'm pure" I awkwardly state

"Mother, leave her be." Prince said softly, I looked at his side to see a girl with long blonde hair holding onto his arm.

"Oh hush hush Alec, this pretty girl doesn't seemed bothered, who are your parents."

Alec.

"I have no knowledge of them, I'm an orphan girl"

They all looked at one another as if they where communicating with their eyes.

"Orphan girl, tonight we have a big celebration! My other boy is coming home so I would like you to start making the wine"

"Yes queen" I curtsied before I left.

I went into the kitchen and saw the other maids cooking, the girl I met Anita walked over to me with a smile.

"What ?" I asked worried

"They talked to you, they never talk to us for
more then a second" she said

"Should I be worried?" I whisper
