"Well no, I'm not going to get used to it no matter what you say." refuted Maddie as she crossed her arms over her chest to show her displeasure.
"Whatever you say, suit yourself." replied Annie as she went back to making her last batch of cookies.
"Why do you always prefer to side with them instead of me?" asked Maddie as she frowned.
"Stop saying nonsense Maddie, really, I will get upset with you if you continue saying that. I don't prefer to side with them, I'm always on your side, only when I know that you are being unreasonable." replied Annie as she looked at Maddie who pouted in annoyance.
"That's not going to work on me, sometimes I wonder who's the older one here?" asked Annie.
"Me of course." replied Maddie as she gave Annie a hug.
"Oh don't be upset, I was just joking." lied Maddie as she laughed.
"No you weren't, but it doesn't matter, I'm not upset anyway." said Annie as Maddie let go of her and smiled.
"Yayyy." she replied as Annie felt like scoffing but she didn't.
"What smells so good?" asked Matt as he and Ollie walked into the kitchen where the smell of fresh, warm cookies wafered in the air.
"Chocolate chip cookies that I'm making." said Annie as she smiled.
"You have really good timing Annie, Matt was just complaining that he was starving." said Ollie as he chuckled.
"Really, well these have cooled down a bit, you can have some." she said as she moved her finger and the tray levitated moving from the table to them.
"Thank you." said Ollie and Matt as they smiled.
"Hey, wait, I helped you here all morning, I should at least get the first taste." complained Maddie as they all looked at her, concluding not to argue with her.
"Sure Maddie, just do whatever you want." said Annie as she sighed.
"Thank you." said Maddie with a smile as she removed the apron and walked to the tray of cookies and took one.
Everyone waited for her to eat one first as her face lit up when she ate the first one.
"Mhmm, these are delicious, Annie you did a good job." she said while chewing as she realized that everyone was just looking at her.
"And what's up with all of you? Why are you all just staring?" she asked as she frowned.
"Well we were waiting for you to taste it first." replied Annie with a scoff.
"Yes, we don't want to upset you your majesty." said Ollie as he laughed and they all laughed.
"Good one dude." said Matt as he laughed.
"Can you all be quiet, ha, ha, very funny, if I was really queen, you all would spend the night in the dungeon for your jokes." said Maddie.
"Wow, you would really put your own friends in the dungeon, what a queen." said Matt as he scoffed.
"Well you guys did provoke me." said Maddie as they all scoffed.
"And that's why you would never be a queen." said Annie as Maddie laughed.
"Oh please, I definitely can, all I have to do is marry a King or a prince and become queen." said Maddie as her eyes instantly trailed to Ollie as a smug smile was plastered on her face.
"In fact, I have one right here, blondie what do you say about marrying me? So I can become queen, you did say that you want to protect me and what better way to do that than marry me? What do you say?" she asked as she winked at him and smiled as Ollie was shocked and a little bit scared.
"Don't ever think of marrying her for any reason Ollie, she could kill you just so she would be queen." said Matt seriously as Annie just laughed.
"I mean, I won't deny that I may kill you to take the throne for myself." said Maddie with a sinister smile.
"Can we stop talking about this... marriage is a really big deal..." said Ollie as he seemed a little bit nervous, he didn't even seem to be worried about the part where Maddie admitted to being able to kill him to take the throne for herself.
"Oh please, don't tell me that you're embarrassed blondie?" asked Maddie as she was quick to notice his discomfort and immediately ceased her chance to make him even more embarrassed.
"It's nothing that serious, people get married and break up all the time." said Maddie with a scoff as she noticed Ollie's cheeks getting a bit red as she stifled a life, this topic was really getting to him, she wanted to exploit his reactions more, it wasn't everyday that she got to see Ollie looking nervous, he was always the confident and charismatic prince.
"Not in this realm they don't. It's a really serious decision and getting divorced is a long, hard process, anyway, you shouldn't joke about it, marriage is a serious commitment, and just marrying someone to kill them for benefits is wrong." said Ollie.
"Oh please, you act like things like that don't happen all the time." said Maddie with a scoff.
"Well I agree with Ollie, he's right, marriage is really serious, so we should stop talking about this." said Annie as she noticed Ollie's nervousness and Maddie's craving for mischief.
"Gosh, whatever, it's not a really big deal." said Maddie with a scoff, annoyed that her fun had been cut short so quickly.
"You don't have to worry blondie, I would never marry you for any reason at all. You're too ugly." she said as Ollie looked at her and frowned.
"Wow, thanks, I would say the same but we definitely have different meanings of beauty." said Ollie as Maddie scoffed.
"Alright, cool it down you two and eat cookies." said Matt as he handed them both cookies." he didn't want this to escalate into a bigger argument.
"These taste really good Annie." said Ollie with a smile.
"Thank you." said Annie as she smiled and brought out the last batch of cookies from the oven.
"Why are you making cookies anyway?" asked Matt as he ate some more.
"Oh well, Maddie told me about the poor maid she harassed and threatened in the morning and I concluded that she needs to apologize, and what better way to apologize than to give her some delicious cookies." said Annie as she smiled.
"I agree, that's a really good idea Annie, no one can resist cookies, especially your delicious cookies." said Ollie as Annie smiled.
"Thank you, now can you please call the maid so Maddie can apologize to her as soon as possible." said Annie as Maddie frowned feeling pushed into doing this.
"Sure, which maid did she threaten?" asked Ollie.
"Hey, hey wait a minute, I didn't threaten her, I just asked for the information I wanted. It's not like I beat her up or anything." said Maddie as she scoffed.
"Yes, knowing you, you would have if things hadn't called your name." said Matt as Maddie glared at him.
"Ha, ha, yeah, wrong, her name is Adi." said Maddie.
"Oh Adi, no wonder you found out, she must have been terrified of you." said Ollie as he laughed as Maddie frowned.
"Adi, could you please come to the kitchen, I need to speak to you." said Ollie out loud.
"She's on her way." said Ollie as he ate more cookied.
"Good, now how about we go and enjoy these cookies outside in the sun?" asked Annie with a smile as she removed her apron and put all the dirty dishes into the sink.
"That sounds like a good idea." said Matt.
"Yes, let's get out of here." said Maddie.
"Uh, uh, uh, not so fast, you have to stay here and clean up." said Annie as she packed some of the cookies into a bowl and the rest she left on the tray, she handed the bowl to Maddie who was frowning as she carried the tray.
"It's only fair you clean up so you would actually be helping." said Annie as she left the kitchen.
"You all are just throwing me under the bus, you're unfair." said Maddie with a frown as Annie ignored her and the others followed after her.
"So unfair." said Maddie as she frowned.
It did not take long till when Maddie heard someone walking into the kitchen using another entrance.
"My prince." called Adi as she looked around for Ollie and turned around when she was suddenly met with Maddie's smiling face causing her to jump back in fright.
"Miss Maddie!" she called out in fright as she was scared, her eyes darted around the kitchen wondering why she had been set up by the prince himself.
"Hello Adi." said Maddie as she smiled trying to calm Adi down, but it did not seem to be working.
"He...hello... have you seen his highness Miss Maddie, he asked me to come here." said Adi as she avoided eye contact with Maddie.
"Ahh yes, he did, I asked him to call you here for me." she said.
