LOSING YOU

▪︎chapter seven▪︎

The next day was truly really hectic. We all had to wake up just before sunrise.

I realised that the building were I stayed hosted all the kitchen maids. The doors I spotted last night were room doors each for the maids.

We all took turns with the bathroom. It was really small and could only fit one person at a time.

Once we were all done, we all headed to the kitchen and the work began.

The reason for the early rise and kitchen preparations were because the royals were having guests and we had to make each meal specifically.

There was going to be the kings breakfast which will be served first,Then the queen and the prince will be served next in the queen's chambers because the prince wanted to have breakfast with his mother, Then tea time for the queen, the get together for the prince, family mid-day snack time, royal lunch, refreshments ( sweets,tea and snacks), the arrival of the guests which would need another round of tea and snacks, dinner to be served to each respective chambers and finally the chattering and gazing at the stars between the royals and the guests which would need yeah you guessed it tea and snacks.

By tomorrow I bet they would be as round as a ball. Who even eats that much food a day. Gosh .

Every kitchen maid available was hard at work. The head maid moved about supervising, shouting orders and assigning various duties to the maids. The maids in turn scampered about trying to fulfill duties as fast and efficient as possible.

By the time the sun had fully set and birds were singing on the trees and rooftops, the kings breakfast was prepared and ready to be served. The head maid and four other maids took the kings breakfast and headed to his chambers to serve him.

The prince and the queen's breakfast were next to be made. The queen's breakfast consisted of herbal tea, halva, falafel and halalwet el jebn. The princes breakfast consisted of macha tea,puck cream cheese and salmon and stuffed egg and Alabama.

By the time it was done the head maid had yet to return. Someone had to deliver the queen and prince's breakfast or there will be consequences for delaying their meal. Somehow six people were chosen with me included.

We began the slightly lengthy journey from the kitchen building to the queen's chambers. Once we here there we had to wait till the queen's personal maids announced our arrival then we were led in. Once we entered the other maids scattered to different places getting the stools and other things for the breakfast. Then we began serving them. The queen had already been served and the prince was being served. I was standing behind the chaos holding the ceramic kettle filled with macha tea and matching tea cups on a flat wooden tray.

Once the other maids were done serving the prince's meal, they moved to the back of the room with their head slightly bowed and hands clasped at their front waiting for me to serve. I stepped forward to serve the prince's tea. I knelt down just beside the prince and served his tea.

Once I was done I began to put the kettle away.

"Thank you" he said.

I nodded silently in response but halted.

I knew that voice.

I turned my head to look at him still kneeling down by his side.

My eyes instinctively opened wide in shock as I stared at the prince.

The prince took a sip of his tea and gently put the cup back down.

I was staring at the butt squeezer of yesterday. The butt squeezer is the prince?.

Oh no.

I thrashed the crown prince of this kingdom.

Oh crap.
