"It's because you are beautiful and also, genial" Fiona answered and Jen raised her eyebrow, she doesn't see that as enough reason why the princess would want to be friends with a maid.
"Alright" Jen replied as she wanted to leave but Fiona called her back, why was the maid in a haste?, Mary would just bombard her with annoying works.
"Yes?" Jen asked.
"Why is this place dark, why don't you open the windows?" Jen asked.
"We are vampires, we don't get exposed to direct sunlight" Fiona explained, no wonder the castle's large curtains were all closed, the source of light was from the electric white bulb.
"What will happen?" Jen asked, she got curious about what will happen to them if they get exposed to sunlight.
"We, sort of burn" she explained as she sat on the bed and she looked at Jen.
"Come" Fiona said as she led Jen to her table, she urged her to sit, she showed her the makeup kits and what they were used for, she applied them on Jen.
"You are not reflecting on the mirror?" Jen asked, she noticed it when Fiona was standing at her back, Jen could only see herself and not Fiona.
"Yes, vampires don't" she replied as she showed Jen some of the things she doesn't know, Jen kept asking questions and Fiona found herself answering all the questions.
"Ahh, what a hectic day" Jen complained, so many things to learn from Fiona. Especially, how she would bath for her and how to prepare the bath, how to help her with her dress and jewelries.
"What's this?" Jen asked as she stared at the shiny jewelry in front of her, she has never seen anything so shiny like that before.
"It's silver" she said and Jen gave a simple nod, Fiona showed her the ruby, emerald, jade, platinum silver, diamonds and gold of the jewelries. Jen paid attention to everything and she was now familiar with them, since she was serving the princess she needed to know things like this.
"Your highness.." she said but was cut off.
"Call me Fiona since we are friends" Fiona said with a smile and Jen nodded.
"Try this cloth" Fiona said as she brought out a beautiful green gown from her closet...
"You can't give me, I can't wear it" Jen said, why would the princess give her the clothes?
"Just try it" Fiona said and Jen slipped out of her dress and she wore the green gown.
"You look so stunning" Fiona complimented, the lady was too beautiful to be a maid, maybe she was something else.
"Yeah thanks" Jen said as she smiled, no one has ever told her.
The guards barged into the room and Jen panicked.
"Your highness, you need to come with us" the guard said as he bowed to Jen and not Fiona, Jen glanced at Fiona as she looked confused, why were they bowing to her?.
Fiona nodded for her to go, maybe the guards mistook her as the princess because she almost looked like Fiona but it's the wine hair and her skin tone. Fiona was very pale but Jen was not as pale as Fiona.
"I don't know how to do it" Jen complained as she whispered in Fiona's ears.
"Just try" Fiona said, she giggled when she saw Jen going with the guards.
Jen passed by Mary and the woman bowed to her, she was stunned, were they all blind?, she was not the princess, she just dressed in this green dress and they thought she was the princess, so hilarious.
"Your highness how do we solve this?" The guard asked, Jen rolled her eyes, can't they solve a problem without including the princess, why did she bring herself so much trouble..
"This young man stole our horse and he is still claiming it" The guard said with his head bowed. Jen looked at the man, he doesn't look like a thief, maybe his appearance was deceiving.
Jen cleared her throat, "Young mister, are you sure you are the owner of the horse?" Jen asked and the man nodded.
"That's good, he is the owner, you people are careless, give him back the horse"Jen said sarcastically before running away.
"Huh?" the guard asked as he slowly raised his head, why would she say that?. their princess judged fairly.
"You heard her, give it to me" he said In a demanding tone that made the guard gulp, he set the horse free as he gave it to the man who walked away.
Jen kept running, this was so risky what if they caught her..
"Your highness, which is more beautiful?" the maids asked as they stopped her.
Jen didn't glance at it before yelling "Purple" as she ran away. The maids looked confused, the dress was yellow and pink, where did she get purple from. They shrugged their shoulders, maybe she isn't okay.
Jen ran as she rushed into princess Fiona's room, her eyes widened when she saw Fiona scrubbing the floor in a maid's dress, that was her dress.
"What are you doing?" Jen asked as she looked so surprised to find her in that condition.
"Mary gave me the work, I couldn't say I was not the maid, she would know it's you dressed In a princess cloth, I had to do this for you" Fiona explained slowly as she dropped the scrub and cleaned her sweats.
.....
Mary entered into the room, she thought she saw Jen sitting on the bed. Fiona had changed into Jen's cloth, she was suspecting something bad would happen.
"What are you doing, why are you sitting?" Mary asked in a cold tone and Fiona bowed her head.
"I am sorry, the princess told me to wait" she said as she imitated Jen's voice.
Mary nodded but she didn't look satisfied as she saw her doing nothing.
"Grab that scrub and clean the floor, I must not see a speck of dust" she instructed loudly as she pulled Fiona harshly to grab the bucket.
