"Hello," Maggie said with a smile.
The child turned, her eyes were small, and she appeared weak. She had long, wavy hair that she had never brushed. The girl crept behind a pillar. She resembled a nice fluffy bunny hiding from the predator.
"Are you Lady Amelia?" Maggie addressed the girl humbly.
As she examined her, she noticed that the girl was pale and clothed in a garment that was too shabby for a princess to wear and made her look more like a beggar. The girl's little eyes blinked awake dimly. She was incredibly petite for a nine-year-old—in fact, she was even petite than Henry!. The girl nodded, a little hollow and unnervingly skinny.
"OK, this is just too much—!!! This kid is being abused in any way you look at it—!!!" Maggie murmured to the girl, who looked perplexed.
She had never seen a terrible prince before, but what a cruel father the prince was. Queen Candence never saw anyone in need when she was the queen. However, now that she was Baroness Maggie, she could understand the girl's plight. One thing was certain: the little girl's life was far more difficult than Maggie's.
"Please accept my apologies, Lady Amelia. But when was the last time you ate something? Or how about a bath? "How many people work in this palace?" Maggie knelt down and supported Amelia with her luggage.
The bewildered girl's mouth started moving. "Um, three days ago..." I believe... A bath, I seem to recall receiving one around a week ago... servants... None, it appears..."
"I truly hope the servants went straight to paradise." Before that, I beg that the royal family's various members' negligence be exposed." Maggie said as she patted her on the back.
The girl became terrified when she patted her. Maggie was shocked because she knew what was going on and that the girl had been mistreated by the maids who served her; tears were streaming down her cheeks as she saw a vulnerable youngster. When she noticed her crying, she came forward to wipe her tears. Maggie could feel the delicate touch and knows how much the girl must have endured, but now that she's here, she might be able to enjoy a happy life.
Maggie jumped up and embraced the petite, light-weighted girl, whose height and weight were considerably below the average for a nine-year-old.
"My name is Maggie, and I'm here to assist Lady Amelia beginning today!" Wait for me, okay?" I'll make you some easy-to-eat oatmeal straight immediately.
Maggie jumped into the corridor while holding Amelia, using the stamina and leg strength she had developed as a maid at the duke's house, as well as her experience as a volunteer.
It was already winter, but there was no fireplace in any of the rooms. She sat Amelia on a shabby sofa in a living room that was far too depressing for a princess to inhabit. She also pulled her cloak from her luggage and laid it over Amelia. Then she went around the estate with the fastest legs in her domain, collecting all the drapes and curtains and stacking them on top of Amelia's body.
"All right, Princess, I'll leave you for a moment since I need to chop firewood outdoors." I'm comfortable with my loud voice. Please wait a little longer while I perform a tune from outside!"
"Will you sing for me?" "I'm pleased..." Amelia, who was frail, grinned.
Maggie's lips constricted as tears streamed down her cheeks. To save time, she dashed out the window. There was a storehouse because it was a palace. However, there was no firewood in the location where it should have been put. After chopping wood, it must be dried, and it appears that she has no choice but to use pieces she learned at alchemy and was also given some powers by the goddess to protect herself if any damage came.
Ally used her strong arms to hack down a tree while singing loudly. But she quickly learned that the wood she had hacked up was rather damp and couldn't be used in its current state.
"Oh my goddess!" Please light this servant's candle and start this fire in the wood!" Ally yelled, thrusting her fists forward. The blue light emerging from her palms engulfed the firewood, causing it to crackle. She used magic to elevate the wood and then ignited it with flames. She looked around to see if no one was around, hoping that the guards would not arrest her for witchcraft.
Maggie jumped through the window again, this time stroked Amelia's cheek and inquired whether she had a kitchen.
"Of course, the kitchen over there... But, could you kindly stay here? "I'm lonely," Amelia admitted.
"I'll only be gone for a second!" Maggie went to the kitchen, practically overwhelmed by guilt, saying, "My song will go on forever, so please wait!"
At this rate, she won't be able to avoid using the goddess's gift for everything! To make use of the gift, one needed not only physical strength, but also mental fortitude. It was often easier for her not to use the gift at all. However, it couldn't be denied that employing magic saved a significant amount of time.
"Holy Goddess, please shine this gift and help hold the power of Water and Fire," Maggie said as Ally's palm emanated light, generating a swirl of water that washed the unclean pot. Water boiled in an instant after the furnace was fired.
She swung her fingers and said, "Dance, o Mighty Wind!" Chop the ingredients so they're ready to consume straight immediately!"
Ally suddenly sliced some potatoes and wheat and stuffed them into the stew because they were on hand.
The old palace's baths was a shambles. Ally had to clean it first, then fix the tiles using cement she found at the warehouse and use her fire and wind to dry it quickly. When she was completed, the bath was as good as new.
As Amelia entered, she was surprised to discover the bathroom. "Come sweetie, let me wash you," Maggie murmured as she took the girl's hand in hers. As Amelia held Maggie's hand, she rapidly got attached to her. Amelia was astounded when she bathed her and made water-like critters for her play.
"Come dear, let me wash you" said Maggie as she holds the girl's hand, as she holds Maggie, Amelia quickly became attached to her. As she washed her, she created water like animals for her play which amazed Amelia
"Are you a witch, Maggie" said Amelia
Maggie stops and looks at the girl, she thought she's done for but the girl looks excited, she smiles and winks and puts her finger in her mouth, "you may call me a witch but rather than that your fairy god mother"
"Fairy god mother?" she inquired
"Yes, a magical being who came to help the princess"
"Like Mama, were you sent by mama" said Amelia
"You may think that, but your mother brought me here so that little Amelia would not be alone."
"Really?" she inquired.
"Really?" she inquired.
"Can I call you mama then?" Amelia inquired.
"Mama only belongs to your mother, but call me Maggie or big sister."
"OK, Amelia will refer to you as Big Sis."
"That's excellent; now big sis, wash little Amelia's back," Maggie urged.
She gave a nod. She noticed bruises on her back when she cleansed it. Now, if she could only use healing if the goddess gave but refused when the goddess offered because she didn't want others to think she was a saintess... well, if she could, she wouldn't have had to gather money for her brother's surgery, but she also wouldn't have met Lady Amelia. But she did not want to be a priestess like Cosette or the Princess Mother because it would cause a commotion and if she exhibited her power to everyone, she would have been named the saintess, but she promised to stay with Amelia and made her pledge not to tell anybody, to which she agreed.
As long as she keeps working on her physical strength, she will protect Amelia no matter what. She might be able to acquire a healing spell eventually, but for the time being, she will serve the princess.
Maggie then changed Amelia's slim body into her pajamas.
"Please come, Lady Amelia." As you sleep, I'll tell you a lovely story." Maggie stated
"Yes! I'd like to hear a story about a gorgeous princess!" Amelia expressed her surprise.
"Guwwaahh…!!! Lady Amelia, you, you're the lovely princess!" Ally decided to put off renovating the old bedroom to tomorrow as she breathed into her palms which were now forming a light like figures
Fairies and Pegasus ran around within the darkness, and a magnificent story was spun using the ceiling as some kind of screen.
"Wow! Amazing!" said Amelia
Amelia was overjoyed at first. Maggie, on the other hand, had cast a black magic that had a calming effect. She never imagined she could use magic so readily when she was still in her own region, so she never demonstrated any of it to Henry. Amelia's face was overlapping with that of her dear little brother. Amelia fell asleep while retelling the story after she finished reciting it.
"Poor girl, how much she must have endured," Maggie replied, "but now that I'm here, you don't need to be concerned."
She kissed Amelia's forehead, and the girl smiled, indicating that she had finally had wonderful dreams.
"Sweet dreams, Lady Amelia."
Maggie gently patted Amelia's stomach while she was still lying down. Maggie eventually performed melodies that soothed the princess as her song lingered around the royal land after ensuring that she was asleep.
