POV:Adele Russo

I sat on the long round table biting my nails as I ignored the disgust look the rich ladies gave me,looking up froze as I realised that everyone was now staring at me.Way to go to embarrass yourself.

"Are you hungry.Because I've heard villagers like you should now how it feels to be starving."She spoke with attitude as she stared at me directly,looking me up and down giving me a dirty look.

"Ugh.Im-No"my words had began to come out as a stutter as I watched some of them giggle at me as I looked down embarrassed,"I think it's better to leave her alone Caroline."I heard a voice which I realised was Victoria she smiled at me but gave a direct look towards Caroline who just rolled her eyes and looked away.

"Shall we bring the food your highness."one of the matron spoke walking in with her head held up high,she wore a white buttoned up ironed shirt with a brown tie and a black pencil skirt.

"Yes Maria."King George spoke with authority laced on his voice,we watched as the matron Maria nodded her head before grabbing a golden bell ringer as she rang it and watched the door being pulled open by the guards as maids and peasants walked in with trays of food.

"Chicken soup for Lady Victoria."Maria called out as a male Maid walked towards Victoria with a tray which was gold as he placed it in front of her and walked away,
"Vegetable soup for Lady Diana."she once again called out as Samantha walked towards the women with light blonde hair almost looking white,looking closer at Diana's appearance she had beautiful round eyes with blue orbs and pale skin.

Soon names were called out as I awaited for my name,before my name could be called a loud growl escaped from my stomach,it was one of the moments which made you want to disappear in embarrassment.

"Sorry."

"Salad and Chicken piece for Lady Adele."Maria spoke as a elder women walked towards me and gave me a weak smile before walking away.
I watched as everyone stood sat on there seats,making me narrow my eyes in confusion.

I held my fork digging it into the salad and chicken before I put it in my mouth,"disgrace."I heard a shout as I jumped in shock as I looked at the queen who stared at me in anger.

"Queen Amelia."King George spoke calmly as he stood up grabbing the hand of his wife who stared at me as if I was a disease.
I sat still confused at what I had done wrong,
"She ate before the prayers."Queen Amelia spoke in distaste as she shook her head and walked away before king George trailing behind her,

"I always knew village girls were trouble."she spoke as I could feel my eyes becoming teary standing up I ran towards the long double doors as I found the back door which led into a beautiful garden as I sat down looking towards the stars as a tear rolled down.

"Crying don't solve situation."a calm gentle but deep voice made it to my ears as I felt shuffling as someone sat down beside me.Turning towards the person my eyes widen as I looked at The Prince who smiled staring at me.

"Prince.I apologies I did not now you do prayers before eating."I spoke he chuckled and nodded as he stared at me,it was a first time I got a close look at his appearance he looked different from the frame I had seen when I had entered this palace.

His deep blue orbs and hooded shaped eyes,his lips were full and fair skinned he had muscular arms and from the look my way he had hard chest.

"I don't see anything wrong with you eating.Your hungry and i believe with your stay here,you'll learn and probably leave or stay with you knowing what you have to learn."he spoke.A smile formed on my lips as I nodded.

"Thank you but I guess I should be leaving."i said and got up as I extended my hand making him grab it as he stood up barely putting any weight on my hand.
He walked me inside and towards the halls until i stood in front of the wooden door which had a tag saying 'Guest Room'

"Thank you."I said once again as I walked in and turned around waving at him as I closed it with a smile.Why did I want to leave already.

I had embarrassed myself.

The peak sound had me jolted up.Groaning I rubbed my eyes and stood up although sleep was still in the corner of my eyes,the shrieking sound of banging of my door it startled me as I stumbled my way sleepily towards the door.

"Yes-"my words were cut off by a loud piercing.Hurrying my pace I opened the door as I looked at Victoria staring me as if she had seen a ghost,
"Yes-"once again my words were cut of,watching my self being dragging down the multiple stairs of the castle before we stood in the back garden.

The sky was still dark.Making it more concerning why they had called everyone out,a clapping sound had silenced and caught everyone's attention.
"You all must be all be full of questions to why we have called everyone in the middle of the night."she paused looking around as if she she was inspecting us all closely.The queen took a step forward before beginning to talk.

"I have come to know that someone from one of the selection's have been in the forbidden room,crossing the red ropes and has broken the antique vase of King Francis I."she spoke,my eyes drifted to the person beside her who's eyes had already caught mine.Sending a quick smile he looked away before walking towards the queen to console her.

"The Search will go on and witness and evidence will be given by the end of this week.If your the person who has broken the vase intentionally or accidentally must come before the week or there will be consequences."The prince threatened as he raised his hands dismissing everyone,I looked around as row by row everyone was being let go.

Falling onto the bed I let out a low moan,cuddling myself with the pillow I sighed as the comfort was soon taking over.Closing my eyes I had began to dream of an intense blue eyes staring at me,his eyes were the only thing on show as the rest was hidden like in a theatre.

"Adele."he whispered as he was know a foot away,Placing his palm on my cheeks I let out a gasp as the friction of warmth filled inside me,fluttering stomach was all I felt as I leaned further into his hands.

"How do you know my name?"I questioned narrowing my eyes he began to chuckle,everything began to feel real.Was it real?

"Of course I will now your name Adele wake up."he whispered shaking me as o jolted up staring at him in fright as how he had gotten in with out my consent.

"How-What-How did you get in?"I questioned stuttering in shock as he shrugged his shoulders before pulling me up,"doesn't matter."he whispered as he dragged me towards the balcony and I followed quietly.

"What is-"I shut up staring at several Lighten fly into the sky,a smile rose on my lips as I took another step forward staring at the lighten in adornment.
"Here!Wish and fly."he spoke handing me a lighten closing my eyes I held the lighten In my hand,

'I wish to be free from tension'

Reopening my eyes I threw the lighten into the sky as it floated away,shining bright like a diamond.

"Beautiful."I whispered extending my hand to touch it but I was pretty far away by know.
