Destiny

Chapter 2

*KyungMi's POV*

I stood quietly as the princes made their way to their thrones. The shorter one seemed nicer than a lot of other royalty that I met. It looked as if for a slight second he said hello to us. I stood there for what seemed like an eternity before head mistress Lucy tapped me on the shoulder. I turned my head to look at her and she motioned for me to follow her. I started to walk away and I felt myself being pulled. HeeYoung had grabbed my hand. I looked at her with wide eyes. So did mistress Lucy. "Let go" she said quietly. "Where are you taking her?" HeeYoung asked. "Stay in your place!" Mistress Lucy scolded. HeeYoung glared at her. "Where are you taking my sister?!" HeeYoung demanded. "I will not have you disrespecting me! Especially in front of his majesties and Our Lady Sophia." Mistress said. "HeeYoung~ just let go." I said. Her eyes pleaded with me but she obeyed. She let go of my hand. I walked past mistress and waited near the door for permission to leave. I waited but I noticed she didn't follow me. I turned my head fast enough to see Mistress Lucy raise her wooden stick. She was about to strike HeeYoung when a voice called out. "Stop!" He said. I turned to see one of the princes rise from his throne.

*MiYoung's POV*

I watched silently as the prince approached us. He thought that he was helping us but what he really had done was save Mistress Lucy's life. I would have murdered her on the very floor and not given a damn about it. Although I do feel guilty. She had taken care of us ever since that night. That god forsaken night. I suddenly felt warm and lightheaded as the memories flooded back to me. I was in HeeYoung's room reading my new book to her. I had been so excited that I had learned to read. I showed her the pictures and she giggled. "If you give a mouse a cookie..." I had began. Those words were the remnants of my childhood. Mother had run into our room dragging my older sisters KyungMi and JinHee with her. She was carrying a bottle. She sat us on the floor and told us to drink from it. We each took turns drinking from the bottle as Mother recited some funny words. She then pushed us into the closet as we heard glass breaking. "I love you" she said. Those were the last words I had ever heard from her and I'm sure she did. That doesn't explain why she left us.

I blinked at snapped out of my daze. "Are you alright?" He said. "Huh?" I said. Not so sure of what was going on anymore. I looked up and saw the prince looking at me puzzled. I bowed deeply. "Yes your majesty~" I said.

*JinHee's POV*

I looked at my sister MiYoung. I wanted to laugh at her. Had she not realized she had been bowing for so long? She quickly recovered and the Prince smiled at her. He was much more handsome up close. I looked around the room and noticed the other Prince starting to get up. I reached for HeeYoung who was standing with her mouth wide open. Everyone was shocked. Mistress was about to hit HeeYoung which was a normal thing that happened to slaves but the Prince stopped her. The other prince came over and tapped his brother on the shoulder. "What are you doing?" He asked. He smiled shyly and shook his head. "I'm not sure anymore" he said. The other prince glanced over at us. "You can go now ladies." He said. I frowned. I found myself wanted him to speak more. I liked the way his voice sounded. I followed Headmistress Lucy out of the throne room. "So much for first impressions" I said while putting my arm around HeeYoung.

*HeeYoung's POV*

I followed MiYoung,KyungMi,and Headmistress Lucy down a hall. JinHee and I were walking side by side. We stopped and moved to the side as a group of men went past with lots of luggage and what looked like a bag full of feathers. "What the hell?" I thought to myself. We soon learned that we weren't the only guests in the palace as there were two princes from another company her on a unity mission. I watched as they walked past us towards the throne room. Like the two princes we had seen before they were also dark haired and handsome. I found myself staring until they went into the throne room. When I turned back I remembered Mistress Lucy had told us that we would be preparing Our Lady's new rooms here. I got a bit lost but finally found the room and walked in just in time to hear JinHee saying to KyungMi "Doesn't this remind you of your old room?"
