The sound of water was heard behind the large dark oak doors. The three guards stood in perfect unison outside the doors. Two of them opened the doors to reveal a beautiful bathroom with only a large bath and also two blonde hair women in white dresses standing at either end of the bath with their heads facing the floor.

When the doors closed behind Opal and me with a surrounding bang, the two women drop into very low curtsies. I stood staring at them wondering why they weren't standing back up. I look to Opal for help.

She smiles kindly at me and tells me in a hushed voice, "Your majesty, you must tell them to stand or they will stand like that until you leave this room".

I stared at her in shock and spoke to the women in a rush, "Stand please, oh goodness stand!", They stood in perfect unison but kept staring at the ground, "Can you tell me your names please?" They didn't say anything, they just kept staring at the ground. I looked to Opal for an explanation.

She sighed quietly and spoke in a small voice, "They don't have names, the white dresses show they are orphans raised in the castle to serve the Royal family, they have properly been here since birth. My dress which is cream shows I was sold to serve the Royal family. If your dress was blue it means you are here voluntarily".

Ohh, "Okay then", I was upset but I wouldn't tell her that.

"Well your highness do you wish to bathe?", she smiled kindly at me. I just nodded my head.

"Do I have to wear this! It's itchy!" I complained. Opal sighed and nodded her head. I've got to hand it to her she is a trooper, she has handled my complaining through the make-up, hair and now the dress. But in all fairness, I really don't want to be dining with my kidnapper!

I was in a state of good moods until they decided I had to come out of the bath and start with torture session which they call dressing up. That bath, it was made by gods! It have to be. It was so brilliant and luxurious! I could've lived there! But sigh they made me leave it.

"Come now, your highness, his majesty awaits", a rough voice broke me out of my revive. Even poor Opal jumps. "Now shoo peasant, the Queen is prepared and you are not invited to dine!" He snarls at her, I was about to object when the doors open and I'm standing staring at a large dark themed dining room. My kidnapper himself sat at the opposite end of the extremely large table. I stumbled into the room as if I was pushed and the doors slam shut behind me.

"Come my beautiful little Queen, dinner awaits! Let's Dine!" my kidnapper roars from his seated position.

My thoughts were, 'Will I ever escape?'.
