"Why were you sleeping on the same bed with Lilith?" Vivian asked as she came into the kitchen while Cosmo was taking out the princess food.
"You know sometimes I really wonder what the princess really means to you" Cosmo responded,
"She means the world to me and I will do anything to protect her, I just wish that you can leave from here ever since you came everything has been going wrong in her life" Vivian shouted then Cosmo turned around and slapped her.
"You are a foolish girl and I am not going to apologize for what I just did you deserve it, let me make one thing clear to you I am never going to leave her side no matter what and I do not care what you or anyone think," she said then grabbed the tray with food and walked away.
"You will pay for this dearly Cosmo and I will make sure of it," Vivian said to herself then left the kitchen in anger.
Cosmo entered the princess from then placed the tray on the table as Lilith came out of the bathroom all dressed.
"Your food is ready," Cosmo said,
"Thank you, Cosmo" Lilith replied then sat down.
"Aren't you hungry?" the princess asked,
"Yeah but..." Cosmo responded and the princess smiled,
"Come on sit down," she said and so the girl did as they served themselves and began eating.
While they were eating the princess looked at Cosmo smiling,
"The ball for my engagement is tomorrow night," Lilith said and the girl stopped eating,
"I know the preparations have already begun" she replied with a sigh,
"Why are you not happy with my marriage Cosmo?" Lilith asked and the girl choked then the princess passed her the glass of water and she collected it then drank some.
"Why are you asking such things, your highness?" Cosmo asked as the princess stood up.
"Because from the time you have been here I have noticed that you are different from all of my other friends, yes Vivian sees you as a bad influence but you know that I do not think of you like that, but there is something about you that I cannot get my head around, you are a little too mysterious and ever since you heard about my marriage I saw on your face that you hate the idea" she responded then Cosmo smiled,
"Always the observing one," Cosmo said to herself.
"What do you want to know exactly princess?" Cosmo asked,
"I know that you are not a person that lives on the street, I know this because of the way you are and behave, well mannered and know everything about a princess, something only a princess or someone from a rich family can know, so did you lie to me when we first met?" the princess asked,
"Yes I did lie" she responded then the princess sighed,
"Okay are you from a rich family?" she asked,
"Yes, I am" Cosmo responded.
"Fine then why are you here as a maid when you have everything that you need?" Lilith asked,
"Because my family is complicated, I want something that I am not sure I can get, but what I do know is that I will fight for that thing or person" she responded,
"Is it someone you love?" Lilith asked then the girl looked at her smiling,
"Yes someone I have loved for a very long time" she responded,
"So why do you think you might lose the person?" Lilith asked,
"Because the person's parents want to marry that person off to someone of their choice and also the person's parents are dangerous can probably kill their own child to have what they want" she responded then the princess sighed.
"Sounds rough, well that I understand but you should not have lied to me, if anyone finds out my father will definitely throw you into the interrogation room," Lilith said,
"I know and I am sorry I lied to you and I still am" the girl replied then the princess stared at her,
"About?" Lilith asked,
"I wish I could tell you right now but like I said it is really complicated and when the time is right I will reveal the truth I just hope you can trust that I do not mean any harm to you, your friends, or your family," Cosmo said as the princess sat down and drank some tea.
"I get it and do not worry I still trust and believe you, just be careful" the princess replied as her mother barged into the room.
"Who is she then?" the mother asked,
"Mother" the princess responded.
The queen then walked towards Cosmo, grabbed her by the arm, and lifted her up from the chair as Vivian and her friends walked in the same time for it was Vivian who overheard what they were talking and called the queen but the good thing was that the king was not around.
"Your highness," Cosmo said and the queen shoved her to the floor then the princess looked at her mother in anger as she lifted Cosmo up.
"Mother do not hurt her," Lilith said,
"She is a liar Lilith" her mother replied,
"Mom she lied for the right reason," Lilith said with a sigh as she held onto her head.
"How did she lie for the right reason?" her mother asked,
"Mom were you eavesdropping?" the princess asked,
"No Vivian told me that she lied" the queen responded then the princess lifted her right brow in anger.
"It is a bad thing to eavesdrop then speak when you did not hear the entire conversation," Lilith said in anger as she folded her cuffs.
"Mom she lied because of the circumstances and because of the person she loves, all she wants to do is protect the person, she is not a danger to our family or the kingdom," the princess said,
"Lilith I know you are a very good person but you should not trust people like that" her mother replied,
"But she told me the truth when I asked mom, doesn't that count?" the princess asked and the queen sighed,
"Fine I will listen tell me what happened," the queen said as they all sat down and the princess began telling them what the girl told her.
