Chapter 12 - Miss. Adaline and The Promise

After Prince Rhysand told her that. Audrey quickly go from Prince Rhysand's presence. She didn't want to have to longer in front of the man.

"I am in front of the Prince's room, if the Prince requires."

"No, just go back to your place." Prince Rhysand told her

How happy Audrey when she returned to the dungeon, where the maids were. Apparently, in the afternoon, many of the maids had returned.

The dungeons used by the maids contained countless maid beds. They are put together in one room. Audrey didn't know and was lazy to count how many maids were in this dungeon. Obviously, more than fifty. It seems.

In front of Audrey's eyes, she saw several new maids putting on clothes. Those who were so beautiful looked so happy in this Atalaric royal maid outfit.

"You don't want to try on your clothes too?" Miss Adaline asked Audrey.

Audrey was surprised when she heard Miss Adaline's voice from behind her. The so-called, instead smiled innocently at him. What an old woman. Even though Audrey is young, she could have a heart attack, you know!

"Ah no." replied Audrey hiding her frown.

"Wow, that's a shame. Though, I was curious if you wore those clothes."

Miss Adaline glanced up at the bundle Hugo had given her the first time she came here.

Audrey glanced at the bundle. Sure enough, the bundle was colorful. Today he is wearing black. What color tomorrow, huh?

Audrey was curious about that.

"How did your discussion, seeing your sparkling face, seem smooth?" asked Miss Adaline as she sat on Audrey's bed.

Audrey also sat beside him, "Fortunately I'm not late."

"I'm so happy for you. Oh, yeah, I heard a rumor in the kitchen, there's a new maid who can't read, you know."

Audrey was very surprised when Miss Adaline said that. Right in front of her

Geez! The maids here are really, huh. One small piece of news can spread widely. Someone must be spreading rumors about Audrey's inability to read and write.

Tch, damn it. Which girl dared to spread that? It felt like Audrey gagged in their new clothes.

"I don't know, but I guess... I think he'll have a hard time adapting here. Everyone, needs some reading."

Audrey nodded. From the start, those super thick maid books were all filled with rules. Which, Audrey couldn't read.

Ah... How difficult!

Audrey parted her lips, "Miss Adaline, will you help me study?"

Miss Adaline frowned slightly. It was clear that Miss Adaline had a hard time knowing what Audrey meant.

"Miss Adaline, I'm that girl who can't read."

Before Miss Adaline had finished her surprise, Mademoiselle Edeva came before them.

The girl comes with her fan. With his haughty demeanor, she explored the dungeons. Even though Mademoiselle Edeva was a maid, she got a much better place. A private room side by side with Mr Mallory, the head chef and also Hugo. Although Hugo spent most of his time guarding in front of Prince Rhysand's room.

"Welcome new maids." said Mademoiselle Edeva to the new maid, although there were also senior maids, like Miss Adaline.

"I, Mademoiselle Edeva, congratulate you."

Suddenly, the cellar was filled with thunderous applause. Mademoiselle Edeva smiled viciously and slyly.

She again added, "Remember, learn all the rules listed in the book. Do the whole schedule without mistakes. Also, don't forget your masks. You know what the consequences are if you break the rules?"

Audrey snorted. Basic, stealth. Everyone knows the consequences against Prince Rhysand and the rest of his ranks. Namely, mortgaging his own life to that person.

"Are you sure you can't read and write?" Miss Adaline asked Audrey after they had sat down to get their food in the dining room.

Audrey nodded, "I'm out of luck."

She took a sip of the drink provided. Her eyes darted around the dining room.

This was the first time Audrey had stepped into the dining room. Because, since this afternoon, the big baby she was taking care of did not want to be left behind. She left her stomach empty.

As it turned out, their dining room was very large. Unfortunately, also a little dusty with gray plaster. Of course, no sunlight enters. Because it's still in the basement.

Audrey glanced at the food in front of her. She spooned the food.

Oh my God! Only this time, Audrey tasted such delicious bread. After a long time she ate hard bread, moldy bread, which was available in his house.

Turns out, here it is!! This is the taste of bread actual. Tender, filled with melted roast beef.

Can she not put these breads in to take home? She is sure Pruistine and Nissim will love it!

Audrey's gleaming face was caught by Miss Adaline, "Have you ever tried it?"

"Miss Adaline knows well that a commoner like me can only eat hard wheat bread left over from royalty."

"I've tasted it before. However, this bread is still far behind the food of the Prince or King Atalaric. They can eat very deliciously seasoned meat,"

Audrey's eyes widened. Melted meat? Oh my goodness... Just hearing that, her saliva dripped.

"Could I give it a try sometime?"

"I don't know, I've only had it once in my life, and that was stealth." Miss Adaline whispered.

Audrey laughed at that "Perhaps I should learn more from you, Miss Adaline."

"Yes, including learning to read and write?" Miss Adaline handed her the glass.

Audrey brought her glass closer. "of course."

They laughed and then toasted with tasteless plain water.

You know how hard it is to be a palace maid? Plus, palace maids like Audrey. No skills. Without any supplies. Of course, because she is to be a field farmer.

Hence, Audrey had to work and study much harder than anyone else. In the early hours of the morning, whe asked Mr. Mallory to teach her to make food for the big baby Rhysand. Then, from morning until dawn, she began to follow Prince Rhysand's routine.

In the evening, she requested a short language course from Miss Adaline.

And that routine, caused all the nerves of his body to be severed. She is dizzy, sleep deprived, and rarely eats. If other maids would be fat and well-groomed in the palace, Audrey was the opposite.

She was getting thinner, because of stress and rarely eat it. Audrey massaged her temples. Her head was throbbing.

Rom that, Audrey endured. It's just a simple headache, Audrey. Calm down, calm down.

As the sun began to shine, erasing traces of the morning dew, Audrey was already standing in front of Prince Rhysand's room.

Knock, knock, knock. Audrey knocked softly on the door.

"My Lord Prince,"

There was a groan from behind the door. Audrey was sure, the big baby must have just woken up. Bastard, lazy prince!

"Prince Rhysand. I'm Audrey. I want to enter to your room."

Audrey came into the room. Sure enough, Prince Rhysand was still breathing quietly under the covers. Audrey deliberately pushed aside the window quickly.

Let me know the taste! Whose fault is he sleeping at noon?

"Prince Rhysand, wake up. Prince has a lot of schedule today."

The man squirmed. Turned his body to the other side, then hugged the bolster that was there.

"Lord…" Damn, Audrey saw the beautiful prince sleep in front of her eyes. O M G. Her heart fluttering.
