Birds chirping -

Primrose POV

I wake up in the morning hearing the birds chirping in my ear my mind hazy from the beams of the sun, my house was a little cottage along the trail of the kings castle where me and my aunt pip work. My mom died when I was little.  I've been living with my aunt pip for 8 years now, im 18 years old. I get up out of bed right after that making sure I make the bed, I have a habit of not making my bed haha. 

" Prim! time to go the castle chop chop !"  I hear my aunt exclaim.

" Coming !"  I rush and put a braid in my long brunette hair to spice it up a little I add a pretty blue bow around it, I put on my brown dress with my apron.

I trampled down the little stairs leading to the first floor. 

" Good Morning Aunt Pip!" I smile widely.

" Aww my little Prim its your first day working at the castle get those strays put up " She says pinching my cheek, a tint of red automatically appearing. 

I look into the small mirror my bright brown/hazel eyes standing out I gently push back my strays , my thoughts clouding my mine.

" Whats troubling that beautiful head" My aunt pip comes up behind me.

" What if I mess up Aunt Pip" I murmur.

" You'll be amazing, you've practiced enough. " She laughs swatting my bottom with a towel.

" Alrighty time to go!"  The door opens and we walk out. 

" Now! remember you will be meeting the king , the queen, and their children Gemma and Harry. You also need to keep your head down unless addressed , and do not speak unless spoken to , you may greet only!" My aunt goes over the rules and soon enough we reach the palace doors.

Suddenly the doors open and I see the king and queen.

" Your Majesties" I curtsy keeping my eyes on them smiling soon enough resuming to my previous stance.

" Welcome to  our castle. As you know what your job is, I live in a clean area and i want it to stay that way, Am i understood?" the kings prominent voice echos in the huge castle showing dominance and power.

" yes your majesty " i respond quick and precise nodding my head.

" okay now, Primrose you will be in charge of the children's quarters, the entire downstairs, the hen house, the studies, and the kitchen. Your aunt pip here has shown me spectacular results and I expect the same from you" said the Queen.

" As you wish your grace" I curtsy going on my way to do my job. This is my life now.

I walk around and find what looks of the kitchen, and before my eyes was a monstrosity; dishes were everywhere stains, the floors looks as if a thousand horses trotted around hysterically. 

I tie my chestnut hair into a messy bun and get to work.

As I was scrubbing the floor with my dear life to get all the dirt out before I polish the floor. Suddenly I am startled when I hear a voice.

" Excuse and who might you be" I hear a light voice say i could tell it was a female. I instantly stand up dusting off my dress, seeing in front of me what seems to be princess Gemma.

" Your Grace" I greet first like my Aunt Pip told me.

" I am pleased to meet your acquaintance, My name is Primrose I am the new maid, Pip's Niece." I exclaim. Her head cocks to the side.

" Hm. Nice manners. Pretty one you are as well, when did you come about?" She ask grace radiating from her stature.

" I arrived this morning your grace" I reply my hands becoming clammy from being so nervous.
