Ariel seeing me roll my eyes at her, proceeded to kick me harshly under the table making me jump and bump into the table causing it to rattle. 

I lent over a bit to rub my leg with a hiss noticing how a bump was already forming.

'Damn that's going to bruise badly' I looked up to glare at Ariel but instead saw the shocked faces of Princey, the maids and Grimsby. Of course Ariel sat there as smug as can be.

"Are you okay?" Princey asked from his seat, shooting me a concerned look which I brushed off with a smile and made hand motions that I was ok.

Luckily before anyone else could worry about me, loud banging and clashing sounded from down the hall catching everyone's attention.

The maid who came out and mentioned Princey's lack of smiling became nervous at the sounds.

"I think I better go see what Louis is up too" She said before rushing out of the room.

The room was still quiet when she left so we were able to hear her yell at Louis making everyone here uncomfortable.

Noticing this, Grimsby looked at Ariel and I "So what are you girls hobbies? you must be into sewing and such yes?" he asked us.

Ariel became confused at his question, not understanding what he meant by sewing as what she wore everyday was just a bra.

I shook my head and made motions of sword fighting making him confused. 

"herding? conducting?" He kept guessing what motions I was making but kept getting them wrong so much that I began to get frustrated so I got up from my chair, walked over to a nearby guard and took his sword and pointed to it.

This made everyone shocked as I just casually took the sword of a knight away from him but that wasn't the only thing that made them shocked.

"Sword fighting? why are you into that? that's not what ladies are meant to be into. You are meant to be into sewing and other female activities" Grimsby tried to explain to me but I ignored his sexism and gave the sword back to a shocked knight and sat back down.

Since I didn't respond to Grimsby, he decided to pick up conversation again involving Princey and Ariel saying how Princey should give Ariel a tour of the castle tomorrow, with no mention of me. Ariel beamed with happiness at Princey's agreement.

'Guess I'll be exploring by myself tomorrow'

The maid soon came back from the kitchen and sat our food down in front of us which had metal covers over them so I wasn't sure what we were being served.

When I was sure everyone got served, I lifted the lid off my plate so discover a cooked crab in the middle of it with salad decorating it.

I cringed in disgust as I have many crab friends and eating one of their own feels like betraying them so I just quietly sat the lid back down and focused on Grimsby conversation with Princey and Ariel.

When I did look up I noticed that Grimsby had lifted the lid off his plate exposing his meal which seemed to consist of a live Sebastian.

He didn't seem to see that I had noticed because he was too busy trying to get Ariel's attention but she was preoccupied with staring at Princey with love eyes.

Figuring that this was going to end with Sebastian being found out, I got the crabs attention by clearing my throat which luckily no one paid any attention too.

I motioned he run and hide under my plate which he seemed hesitant in doing.

'Which makes no sense as I have done nothing to ruin his trust but he probably wanted Ariel's help more than mine, *sigh* whatever'

He quickly ran onto my plate and under my lid successfully hiding him from everyone.

"Wonderful!" Grimsby voice interrupted my moment of relief " No lets eat before this crab wanders off my plate" He explained and when he looked down to see this supposed crab, he found nothing but salad.

His shock face made me sticker with laughter.
