My name is Emily and my life is such a hell. I'm still trying to get use to it
Emily: i-i can't believe this! Why would this happen.
Grandma: it's ok my child stop shedding tears... aren't you hungry? Go to the town square to buy fruits for us (her grandma said in a wry smile)
******** AFTER BUYING THE FRUITS********
Madison: so irritating, go to where you belong, I mean look at your clothes.
Jessica: oh goodness, I feel pity you(Jessica said slapping her across the face)
There all laughed, and mocking her clothes. Just then Emily started to shed a tear.
Eva: oh my she's crying, I can't believe it, but I love those tears(a smirk crept on her lips)
Emily stood up and started walking away, with tears while they laughed.
Emily:(sobs')' what did I do to deserve this?...
Few hours later she was home, just to see her grandma collapsed on the floor... She rushed her to the hospital.
Doctor: ma'am she is not good at all she has a fever, which is terrible.... I will treat and prescribe drugs for her...
Emily: (gulped) how much?....
Doctor: umm for the drugs is 7,000¢, while the treatment is 20,000¢....
I thought:
If grandma dies I won't forgive myself, I have to... I don't want her to die...
Emily: I will pay...
doctor: huh ? Umm. ok thank you and I will treat her.
I left feeling heavy hearted. Now I just need to look for a job. I went to the palace to work there. Here is the 1990s I want to work, here plus we can get money to move out... Thank goodness I got the job but as a maid.
I just need to serve the prince and princess, thank God I'm not in charge of the king. Oh! I also have to serve the duke… This people are rich.
Emily: wow I love this place already... (BUMP)
Papers went flying everywhere, but my butt hurts more... I looked up to see someone staring down at me...
Christopher: aren't you going to apologize you have been scatting your butt ever since. He said smirking.
Emily: I'm sorry, my apologies!! (stood up quickly staring at him)
Christopher: new maid eh?... (he narrowed his eye up and down and walked away)
Phew! that was close, I should get to know everyone here.... Especially the royal ones.
While tomorrow, I will properly serve their meals introduce myself.
******************* next day*****************
_please take this to the prince
I was excited going to serve him for the first time. Just then I heard soft voice from the room.......
I wasn't really hearing, but I just slammed open the door. Just to see the prince kissing a blonde girl.
Emily: huh?! (I twitched my face in total disbelief) my apologies master!!!! Master, Cyrus please forgive me and carry on....
I shut the door, but I couldn't help blushing.....
Emily: what the... P-prince Cyrus k-kissing...? While I better not snoop around his room like that again.
So I decided to forget about it.... And apologize, then meet the queen, so that everything will be alright.... Right?...
I went to prince Cyrus room to apologize for interrupting his moment...
Emily: ok just apologize, nothing more... (knocks) hmm? That's strange.... umm... P-prince Cyrus?... He's not here?...
I was about to shut the door, just then this blonde twig came and pushed me away...
Avis: who are you?... Trying to steal and break in.... You!!!.... Answer. (said in a very angry mood)
I stood up, and I was shocked..... She had blue eyes and blonde hair.... She was pretty!
Just then I received a tight slap on my face...
Avis: do I have to ask you twice?
Emily: my apologies miss....! I came to see prince Cyrus... I wasn't trying to break in.
Avis: are you saying I'm lying.... On your knees!!
Emily: (knelt down in front of her) m- my apologies miss...
Avis: what a filthy maid... Even grandma's are more intelligent than you....
Emily: I'm sorry miss....
Avis: my name is miss Avis. Get it... And now get out!!!....
Emily: y-yes miss Avis.
I was about to leave, but I stopped to see prince Cyrus.... My heart was about to burst just the sight of him...
Emily: welcome back prince Cyrus...! (I looked up at him, but he totally ignored me)
He touched miss Avis cheek as she responds.
Cyrus: are you ok Avis?
Avis: oh I'm fine... This stupid servant thinks she can do whatever she likes....
Cyrus: is she new?...
Avis: yes.... What are you staying around for scram...!!
I flinched.
Emily: yes miss Avis... (bowed)
I started to walk away. Just then I heard a voice...
Cyrus: introduce yourself....
Emily: umm yes your grace... I'm Emily. 19 years old.
Avis: is that all.... Cyrus she is the most sluggish maid ever.
She said while giving me a slap on my face... This time blood wriggled down... I couldn't help shedding a tear...
Avis: oh my!.. You must be weaker than I thought...!
Cyrus: that's enough Avis. As for you Emily... You will be my personal maid from now on.... Got it?...
Emily: yes your grace...
Cyrus: good now get out.
I walked away quickly before he called me again.
Cyrus: Avis let's go inside....(said while shutting the door)
Avis: Cyrus are you sure you want to let her be your personal maid...?
Cyrus: yes I do. If she doesn't improve she will be fired.
Avis: just fire her now.... She is too sluggish.
Cyrus: no. I just want her to BEG.
Avis: hmm... Beg eh?... Anyway how's your family... when are you getting married to me... I have kept myself for too long...
Cyrus: I have a war that will probably end my life until then just wait.... Ok?... a promise is a promise…
Avis: easier set than done....
**********NEXT MORNING***********
I was crying all night.... I mean I didn't do anything to miss Avis.
_give this to prince Cyrus.
Emily: what's this?….
_I am prince Cyrus cook, so he knows it... Now give it to him.
I was going to prince Cyrus room... This time I knocked and waited...
Cyrus: come in. (already prepared)
Emily: y-your grace. P-please have breakfast.
Cyrus: you are late...
Emily: pardon?...
Cyrus: it's 8:40 am. I usually have breakfast at 7:00 am sharp!!
Emily: y-yes your grace...
Just then he stepped closer to me... And pinned me to the wall.
Cyrus: why are you stammering? Nervous?
Emily: no, no, your grace... I'm alright.
I wonder whether I have to stay while he's eating... I just wanted to go... And my legs hurts from standing...
Emily: your grace, let me bring you some snacks!
Cyrus: stay right there I didn't tell you to move...
Emily: y-yes your grace... (I have to maybe chat with him, and maybe I will sit down)
Emily: your grace are you married?
Cyrus: (stops and looks at her deadly) how dare you ask me that?
Emily: I'm sorry your grace I just...
Just then he stood up and stepped closer to me while I was stepping back...
Emily: y-your grace, my apologies for that question.
He wasn't answering me... Just then I fall on his bed... As he inched closer to me...
Emily: your grace...?
I felt his teeth on my ear... He bit me so hard that I was bleeding...
Emily: ah!! Y-your grace, please it's hurt...
Cyrus: and I should listen to you?...
Emily: p-please!! I Will never ask that type of question again...! Ow!
Cyrus: to be honest I love when you stammer... He stood up and looked at me. Don't forget your place! Now CRY or better yet BEG.
My ear was bleeding... And it's hurts...
Cyrus: your skin is good for biting. Now try begging.
Emily: F-forgive me, your grace....
Later that day I couldn't help thinking about grandma. It's been 2 days straight. I have to go visit her.
I was so afraid of going to ask prince Cyrus. I was working in the kitchen, just then this beautiful girl came and held my shoulder.
Eva: hi I'm Eva nice to meet you. You are the new maid right?
Emily: (wow first person that introduce herself to me first) I'm Emily. 19 years old. Thank you for your introduction.
Eva: oh my... You are so pretty. With your golden hour eyes and brown hair. You are gorgeous.
Emily: oh!! T- thank you. (blush)
Eva: I'm Eva, the princess. And you have met Cyrus right? Will you come to my tea party tomorrow?... I will introduce you to my brother Christopher.
Emily: A-a tea party?! But miss I can't ---
Eva: don't worry about it... It's an order not a request. (said smiling)
Emily: how did you know about me?
Eva: I heard the maids whispering about you. Oh!, and please pardon Cyrus behavior... He can be a lot. But he's a nice person.
Emily: (nice my butt he made my ear bleed. Now I'm covering it up with my hair) ah! It's ok.
Eva: thank you so much... I will take my leave now...
She said waving back at me. Wow. his sister is so nice. But I don't know if I should come to the tea party.
But I need to go see my grandma, I need to sneak out... And I have a brilliant idea.
When it was 7:57 pm. I went to the guard's dorm, and put an outfit... I dressed exactly like one of the guards.
But before I dressed up I asked a servant, if we are allowed to see a family member or something, she said she's working here for more than 17 years. And she said we are not allowed.
But I really wanted to see my grandma. I also stole some coins like 20,000¢ I knew it was bad, but if grandma dies I would be alone in this world.
Emily: when are we going into town?
Guards: oh... every soon just get prepared, you trained properly right?
Emily: oh!! Hahaha!! Yes I trained properly.
Guard: oh ok?...
When it was time to go I was excited.
Everybody: we are all ready to leave! We are ready and we will win!
Emily: (God this is so cringe)
As we were all matching to go to this unknown war...
Cyrus: halt!
Emily: uh... (He stepped closer to me, from all people, me!!)
Cyrus: introduce yourself...
Emily: y-yes I'm Marcus Aurelius.
Cyrus: Marcus eh?
Emily: y-yes...!
Cyrus: you know you remained me of a girl. She stammers like you. (he said whispering)
Emily: umm... I don't know who Emily is... I'm Marcus Aurelius.
Cyrus: hmm?... Is that so why is your ear bandaged?...
Emily: (I moved back and held my ear) oh this... Nothing. I cut my ear, that's why...
Cyrus: I see... Is that so?...
Emily: (I gulped)
He was walking away, just then he turned to me and glared at me. He came closer to me and touched my chest.
Emily: (I flinched, and blushed) w-what are you doing?
Cyrus: what? you are a man right? It is normal for me to touch your chest. (he came closer to me and whispered) or is it that you are a girl?
Emily: y-yes it is, but it makes me feel uneasy.
Cyrus: oh is that so...?
Emily: y-yes.
Cyrus: why are you stammering?
Emily: oh! No it's nothing.
Cyrus: (he placed his hands in my waist) now get out!
We all matched to town square... While others matched I slipped away to met my grandma... I went to the hospital, to see my grandma and a nurse holding her hands.
Emily: grandma!... Oh my god!.. Is she okay how is she doing?
_ you must be miss Emily. You are oweing a debt you are not allowed to see---
Emily: here, take all of it. Just treat my grandma. (said sobbing)
_ umm thank you so much.
Emily: (sniffs) how is she doing?
_ she doesn't have that strong tension again. Don't worry about it. How old are you?
Emily: i-i am 19 years old. Miss.
_ oh my! You must have worked hard to earn this money.
Emily: thank you miss.
The evening went by, and for the first time I was so happy. Because I saw my grandma. Tears started to wriggle from my eyes.
I sneaked in the same way I did and changed into my maids outfit. I was so happy.
(knocks)
Emily: y-your grace...? I'm coming in.
I saw prince Cyrus, and he was writing something on his desk. I walked up to him.
Emily: your grace have some tea.
He looked at me with a very deadly look.
Cyrus: you are finally back. (smirks)
