*Squeak!*
The sound of a door echoed if there is anyone in the room, he will know someone has entered. I hope, there is no one, especially that stupid prince becasue I can't take anymore taunting of these shameless people.
I peeked slightly into this room, looking around and thinking, 'hah, at least the wicked prince is not here'.
In front of me is a room with a huge black colored bed and a long white closet. But really, what a mess? Did he know I would be here?
All the clothes are on the ground, the curtains are in a mess, and the floor is not a floor, full of random things lying here and there.
First, I arranged his clothes, then the curtains. After that, his bed, sigh... too much work?
I am going to get some water, after all the floor won't clean itself.
*Slam!*
Ahh! someone is here!! I hold the wiper in my hand, in the stance to hit a person and grip it, as if my lifeline depends on it. I looked at the visitor and sighed in relief.
"Your highness!!" oh, it is my friend, Ashley.
"Ashley!" I smiled after seeing her and threw everything on the floor, running to embrace her, we hugged each other really hard.
This little girl, even though she is small; she has the power to hold me and spin around with me in her embrace.
"haha! Ashley, I am not a highness anymore."
Sad from inside while happy from outside. I really hate being a princess; only that, I miss my father, after calming myself, I said, "From now on, we are equals, friend"
"Eh?" she looked at me in surprise and pouted cutely, before she refuted me in a determined high pitch voice, "You are a princess to me and always be!"
A Warm feeling spread in my heart... sigh this stubborn girl.
*Pat~Pat* I pated on her small head.
I won't argue with her, "Haha, all right, I have work to do. We will talk later,"
"No, let me help you", this girl not… or I could use her help. It has been a long, since I played with a friend, "Alright, I will let you help me."
"Hehe" she laughed happily.
*Splash!*
Before she could become happy, I splash water on her. Want to help me? Now, bear with it, haha.
"Hehehe",she smiled a devilishly.
*Splash!* and the water came flying towards me.
I blanked out and shouted, "What the HELL? Do you want to drown me in water!"
But I can't blame her, playing with water, with a water element fairy. Am I even in my right mind?
"haha!" the two of us laughed.
------------After 10 min---------
*step~step~step*
Finally, we finished cleaning that dirty room. Now, we are going down stairs again. But why was Ashley in the prince's room?
As I took the final step.
*Whoosh!* A fist was directed into my face, luckily Ashley was there.
"Hmph!" she made a water shield in between me and that fist.
*Boom!*
*Splash!*
And from where it was you think? Of course, from the envious lady from our last encounter.
"Here she is, the criple princ---", they tried to mock me, but without giving them a chance to continue the words, Ashley appeared in front of them.
*whoosh~whoosh*
From nowhere, three hands made of water appeared near everyone of them.
*slap~slap~slap*
'Ouch, that even hurted me. Ahh, what a good feeling but when Ashley became this powerful? I know, she is a brave girl but now she is strong too!
"How dare y--", they placed their hands on their red as cherry faces and tried to refute, but after looking at her cold eyes. They swallowed, what they were about to speak.
They looked at each other before running away in embarrassment.
"Highfive Ash, you were amazing!" I complimented her.
"Really?" she tilted her head slightly, returning to the naive girl, I know.
"Now, where are you going? Ashley." I asked her in concern.
"Oh, me? I am going to the kitchen, I have to work there. What about you? your highness," she asked.
"I am not a princess, anymore! Well, I will do the laundry, now" I glared at her before replying. Now, we are going to separate, sigh.
"Let's go, maybe, I will meet you tomorrow too," I said with a smile, moving in the direction of the laundry room .
"We will,your highness." she said with her innocent face.
"Youu! hahaha", we laughed while went our separate ways.
"Lala lala lala", I strolled through these huge corridors while singing on the way. Thanks Ashley, you made me happy.
"Eww, this smell", the scent of dirty clothes hit my nose. Any smell can't be worse than this. At least, royalty won't be here.
Really? Should I curse my luck?', I thought, after I entered the laundry room; I found someone who should not suppose to be there.
There was someone whom I trusted blindly, the current prince. Luckily, I didn't fall for him. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do, now?
"What are you doing here?" I asked him without a hint of emotion with a tinge of disdain.
"Huh? I am the prince, I can go wherever I want." he also replied in a similar tone, with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, for the time being, you bastard!" Even though I tried to be emotionless, I couldn't in front of him, anger and resentment built up in my heart.
He had a cold and emotionless face but suddenly his face turned ugly when he heard me,"You dare speak to me like that!"
*Pah!*
He looked at me with a face full of anger and slapped as hard as he can. From the strength of slap, my head turned to the side and little tinge of blood can be seen on the corner of my lips.
WHY? Why should I get humiliated by him?
I was not in my right mind, tears fell from my eyes and I shouted "You dare to slap me! After what you have done!"
"Hmm, what have I done?" raising his two eyebrows in confusion and asked with a smirk.
"For goodness' sake, stop pretending!" I looked at her dirty smirk and shouted, my anger is reaching its peak. He is still pretending to be innocent!
"Who is pretending? You are just a maid. So, behave like a maid!" the visible disdain appeared on his face.
"Yes I am! Who is the reason behind me becoming a maid? Tell me". Tears started streaming out from my eyes, but even with them, my anger didn't lessen a bit.
"Me? Selena, are you out of your mind?" he said while looking at me with his disdainful eyes. Still ignoring, still hiding. Even after what you have done?
But suddenly, a thought or a memory struck my mind. My brother advised me in the past. An advice, I never understood. He said ~Sele, if you want to deal with basterds? Two words: brave and calm~
Those two words rang in my mind, ~brave and calm~, I stopped crying.
I looked at him, that smirking face of his. I will make him suffer.
*Pah!*
"You bastard!"
At that moment, I thought, ' be brave Sele' I faked losing control over myself, I slapped that bastard with all my strength, releasing all my anger and frustration in that single slap.
What happened shocked him. Now, I turned the tables.
"You dare to insult me, a prince and you called me a bastard and then slapped me! Are you out of your f*cking mind!" he trembled in rage.
"Yes, I dared to hit you, what about that?", looking straight into his eyes calmly, let's test your limits (prince).
Glaring hatefully at me, he stated: "You just wait and watch - watch, what I, the prince, can do!" He wasn't even able to speak properly, due to anger.
"Heh! Fine, I will see, what a meek prince like can do?" I looked at him sarcastically and chuckled, mocking this clown, and enjoyed this feeling even if it was for a little while.
But he is not that naive, he quickly calmed himself down and his face again became emotionless.
"Just wait, time will be our judge, Sele", he said while trying to feign a calm appearance. I only smirked at him.
"Humph!" turning around, the prince left the laundry room while fluttering his clothes in the air.
I sighed in relief, combing my messy hair, and sang a sad melody in a slow voice which only I could hear. Thanks brother, you helped me today, Your timid little sister became this brave.
.
'Dha!' a bundle of clothes was thrown, It landed in front of me, 'yay work has arrived'
The sound resonated in the laundry room and when my gaze landed on the dirty clothes which were filled with blood and sweat, I instantly lost my appetite to eat lunch.
.
'Ew! I will not touch these disgusting clothes,' I thought as if I am still a princess, but really I was on the verge of puking. I looked at those dirty clothes with disgust.
*Clap~clap~clap!*
As I was considering what to do with this bundle of clothes, the sound of clapping came from a person - a person, I am not on good terms with but well; I am not on acceptable terms with anyone here...
For me it is no shocking thing that one more person wants to bully me but the shocking thing is the person who came?
"Well done, Selena! You made my day, haha~"
