Jen worked the next day without complaining, if she is done, she made up her mind to leave the castle and also leave valet. Since he loves Fiona she would leave the two..She hopes to find love elsewhere just like that voice whispered in her head and also she'll find her parents.
"Jen, let's go and eat" Mia said and Jen nodded as she dropped the duster, everyone was surprised that she didn't talk or comment to any discussion, maybe she wasn't even listening to them.
"What I said last night was a joke, I was just playing around" Mia said and Jen looked at her, she wouldn't change her mind because of what she said, she would leave the castle no matter what anyone tells her.
"Why do prince always like princesses, why can't they like commoners?" Emily asked curiously, she heard that valet liked the lady from the other maids and the lady was a princess, why didn't he like Jen, was it because she was a commoner, Emily was already getting along with Jen and they weren't fighting with each other like they use to.
"They intend to marry someone with a high status, a prince can't marry anyone with a low status" Mia replied and Emily nodded, but that's unfair to the poor Jen.
"So, Jen what status are you?" Emily asked, other ladies laughed because they found it mocking and funny.
"Enough girls, I was just asking a question?" Emily said and they kept quiet or else the woman would start giving them lectures.
"Low" Jen replied as she munched on the bread given to her, "Aww and you look too beautiful to be a lowly maid" Mia said and everyone agreed with her.
"Jen, I think you're from a royalty and..." Mia trailed off as she noticed Jen's red hair, that red hair was so suspicious and only dragons have that color of hair.
"Stop joking, I am not in the mood" Jen said with a gloomy expression as she kept her gaze on the ring on her finger. She was going to return the ring since valet had chosen Fiona over her.
When they finished their work and also finished chatting, Jen went to bath and also pack her bags, she asked Mia how she could get out of the castle without any trouble, but that was almost impossible so she'll have to sneak out. She removed the ring as she placed it on valet's desk, he wasn't around and she chose not to drop a letter or look for him.
Following the secret passage, she found herself in a forest and she picked the map given to her by Mia, she followed the map and soon got to the market. She covered her face with the hood as she kept walking ignoring anyone who called her.
She found a salon and she thought of dying her hair, she didn't want anyone to notice her unusual red hair color, so she walked in..
"Hi miss, how may I help you?" Anne asked and Jen pulled her hood and pointed at her hair.
"Oh, you want a new color?" Anne inquired and Jen nodded as she sat in front of the mirror...
"What color would fit my darling?" Anne asked herself as she tilted her head sideways thinking carefully as she held Jen's hair gently.
"You want purple, blue, black, or white?" Anne asked
"Purple" Jen said and Anne nodded as she started tinting Jen's hair, not long she completed her work on Jen's hair and Jen nodded in satisfaction as she held her hair.
"Thanks, how much does it cost?" Jen asked, she just had a few coins on her.
"Two silver coins" Anne said and Jen brought out the money, "Thanks, make sure to visit next time" Anne said as she waved at Jen who was already on her way.
Jen was thinking if she should change her eye color so it would be difficult for people to find her and she didn't want valet to find her either or she would be compelled to remember all those things the maids gossiped that he did with Fiona. 'You mustn't let him get in your way' Jen said to herself as she aspired to forget valet and find her parents.
She came across some ladies who were arguing, she wasn't interested in separating them because it was none of her business but they asked her to support one of them and she was confused.
"Excuse me ladies, I've got somewhere to be" Jen said as she forced herself out of their hold but they pulled her back.
"You are welcome to JA restaurant, thanks for agreeing to our terms and condition, let's get started" Janet the girl with a very pale skin and blonde hair, her pinks lips and green hair said a lot about her, she was the genial type.
"Huh?" Jen asked confused, what the crap were they saying?
"Hi, I am Janet and this is my sister Allison, what is your name?" Janet asked, Jen planned on ignoring her but the lady got the logic as she pulled Jen into the restaurant.
"Look, one of our friends decided not to work anymore and we are looking for another assistant to help us in the kitchen, how many customers we have got and we couldn't serve them on time, so pretty..." Allison trailed off.
"Jen" Jen answered plainly and Allison nodded.
"Pretty Jen, do you mind helping us, don't worry we are very generous with our workers, you'll get free meals and also three silver coins each day and by the end of the year, you'll get a bag of golden coins, aren't we great?" Allison asked as she batted her eyelashes and pouted her lips which made her cute. Jen stared at the white haired woman with full pink lips and slightly tanned skin, she really looked pitiful that Jen couldn't ignore her so she nodded, she also has to gather money so that she'll pay for the transportation to get to the dragon's country. Right now she was totally strapped and these ladies offered her help, who was she to decline their incredible offer.
"Thanks so much" Allison said as she kissed Jen's cheeks.
"Since we don't have much time, just go straight to the kitchen and help with my brother, we would inform you about the rest later" Janet said and Jen nodded as she collected the uniform from Janet, after changing into the black short skirt and pink shirt just like Allison's and Janet's, she headed for the kitchen.
"Hi, you must be the new worker right?" Jasper asked and Jen nodded.
"I am Jen, what is your name?" Jen asked with curiosity clear in her eyes, this guy was breathtaking, he has blue eyes matched with a dark blue hair, his lips was full pink and he had broad shoulders, his nose pointed and sharp creating a shadow on that inviting lips.
