Chapter 6 - Part 6: Shock

The fourth maid was Irene Roosevelt, the youngest maid to work in the royal palace at fourteen years old and she was as old as the princess. She would always see the princess alone in the meadow filled with flowers and played with her and keep her company. One day while prince Gilbert went to the same meadow to pick flowers and planned them to give to Clara, great jealousy sparked within him. He sent Clara home with the flowers and brought Irene to a brothel where she was sold to be a material of fun for the adult men in the city, then she was later disposed of when she died while giving birth. Unfortunately, the baby she delivered died as well, and his corpse was fed to the poor people in the slums by Prince Gilbert himself.

The fifth and last maid was Luna Dawn, a maid who was married to a humble farmer and had a newborn baby. Luna had her mother's instinct and knew that there was something wrong with how Gilbert acts when he is with Clara. Since incest was not uncommon a few years ago before being banned by a higher power from halfway across the world.

It came to a time when Luna was closely watching Gilbert with Clara at the stables, Gilbert teaching Clara how to express love to her brother by kissing him. Luna tried to ignore what she saw but she would always catch Gilbert with Clara kissing for almost a week. Clara was uncomfortable and didn't want to do it because she wanted to do her chores so she wouldn't be punished. Luna barged into the stables and took Clara away. Fortunately, there was nothing more than kissing that happened to them but after that, prince Gilbert sent Luna to the dungeons.

The day after Luna was released from the dungeon cell, she discovered that her husband was killed in the field by wolves and her neighbors see a man abduct her baby and threw him off the cliff. Luna then went crazy and she was sent to the local brothel, being actioned off by a mysterious man. At first, he treated her with so much care but when she was eight months pregnant, he hung her on a branch of a willow tree, taking the baby out of her and eating it. Turns out, the mysterious man was a cannibal whose hunger can be satisfied by eating unborn babies.

Clara finished hanging his brothers' clothes outside and she realized that she needed to change clothes. She turned around and saw a horrified face of Sir Hosa.

"Sir Hosa-" Clara hid behind the clothes. She knows that he'll do something about it.

"Clara...come with me." Hosa took her hand and led her to his chambers.

Sir Hosa treated the wounds on her back and asked her about what happened. He changed her into his clothes since she shouldn't be out wearing almost anything.

Sir Hosa looked at Clara with a furious face. "We're rebelling tomorrow. That's final." He said.

Clara shook her head furiously. "Sir Hosa, you know that the royal seal is still with my father. He'll force the people to fight. I don't want anyone dead because of me."

Sir Hosa punched his chamber wall and looked at her with rage. "I don't want to see you get beaten up, poisoned, and soon get raped by your brothers! The king and queen are treating you like dirt and they have been taking money from the people."

Clara froze in fear as she was being yelled at by Sir Hosa. She thinks to herself. 'I'm fortunate to not get taken advantage of yet but I will be if we really don't do something soon.

"I'm sorry." Sir Hosa apologized, hugging the young princess tightly.

"You're right." Clara said in Sir Hosa's ear.

"Let's rebel."
