Over an hour later, Loki comes sauntering out obviously a little tipsy.
"Good show princess. Forgot to tell you the duchess can sometimes be a little judgemental." He drunkingly slid down the wall beside me.
"yeah thanks for the heads up." I said, starting to get up and head back to my room. But Loki grabbed my arm.
"Do you remember what it felt like to kill all of those people?" Loki asked.
"Don't touch me Loki." I said ripping my arm from his grasp and walking angrily away. But truthfully I wasn't mad at what he had asked, Loki just makes me feel a kind of way that I don't like. Luckily Loki didn't follow me, but a masked guard did. I didn't think much of it until the guard was still following me when I got to my room. I whirled around and yelled in the guards face. "Leave me alone will you!" The guard then took off the mask and I saw the one face I was missing so much. Andrew. I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tight, breathing in his scent. He pulled away from me and placed his hand on my face.
"Andrew what are you doing here?" I asked, happy that he was here obviously but just confused at why.
" I came to see you Mae." He answered, I leaned in to kiss him but he stopped me. "But I can't stay, I have a mission that I'm on, I'll come find you in 3 days time. Goodbye." And then just like that. He was gone. I flopped on the comfy bed and huffed out a large breath. I had just began to get comfortable when there came another door, I groaned and opened the door. Standing in front of me was a very tall girl, that looked around my age. She did a small curtsy and pushed past me. I must've looked like a hobo, due to my messy bed hair and sweatpants
"Good Evening ma'am, I am you're Ladies maid. My name is Karena." She said politely. She was wearing an apron over an old dress, her hair was tied up in a bun.
"Hey Karena it's nice to meet you. But please don't call me ma'am, I'm Mae." I said giving her a nice smile. Karena walked over to my bed and smoothed out the crinkles.
"I hope you settled in well, how was the dinner?"
"I have a feeling the duchess hates me." I said rolling my eyes and flopping onto a chair.
"She doesn't like anyone, don't take it to heart." Karena had a slight smile and giggled lightly. I smiled to myself, I have a feeling we are going to get along.
"Hey Karena? Do you know anything about Loki?" I asked.
"You mean the prince from the assassins guild a few countries over?" Karena said, facing me.
"I guess?"
"He's very mysterious and from what I've heard sleeps around. But he is very handsome."
"Huh, I just saw him when I just got here and he seemed to not belong."
"He's just here until the coronation, he's the majesties cousin's son." She said, as if she was reciting it.
"I don't think I want to be the queen." I blurted out, before covering my mouth.
"Many don't. It's a lot of responsibility but I have a feeling you were picked for a reason." Karena said, finishing up my bed.
"Thanks Karena, how long have you been working here?"
"My mother and I came here when I was about 6 and I've been working here ever since. Ms.Romulie is kind though, there are worse bosses." I closed my eyes and stretched out my legs. "Miss-Mae, I shall leave you to undress and be back in the morning to get you dressed for the day." Karena corrected herself and smoothed her apron before curtsying.
