The next morning, Iris stepped out of her tent and said with a sad look, where could William be, I haven't since yesterday," she then thought to herself" maybe I should go look into his tent maybe he is there, hi William can I come in she asked with the thought of him been there, after standing for a while and no response, she decided to step in and check on him, but unfortunately no trace of him, she knelt on the ground with a sad look then a note flew unto her, she took it and took a look at it.
Dear Eliana,
By now I know you might be wondering why I left, it is not my fault I left, it was for a good reason, I needed to leave in order not to bring you trouble and please don't be sad, I know you would be very angry at me so I left you some burritos cause I knew how much you love them and I also left some rubies. I hope we see each other again soon.
Yours truly, William.
This is why I don't believe in love, right when I was enjoying his company, he left me all alone in the memory of the days we spent together, men are so stupid, maybe it's for the best instead of spending my whole life in the woods and should get out the woods and see the world outside.
A few hours after taking my bath and having breakfast, I thought it through, maybe it is about time I step out of the woods to win back my kingdom. To keep myself out of unwanted attention, I chose to wear a blue vintage gown and covered the tip of the gown with mud and I made a body mask to make my skin color turn brown than usual.
I rode on ivy to the market square, where I saw lady Sonia, she is the one who helps maidens get jobs at the palace, I got down from my horse so no one could suspect a thing.
Hello please I need a job, as you can see I am a pauper and I need your help sincerely I would any job "I said in a sad tone with a helpless look", well today is your lucky day a maid is needed at the palace of Philadelphia, you would be taken there by a wooden horse carriage, come on let's go and stop staring at me, ok thank you so much.
It was a 1-hour journey from the market to the palace, finally, we got there safely, everything still looks the same as I remembered the only thing different was that there were wedding decorations everywhere and a large poster saying welcome to prince Lexar and Adriana rehearsal dinner, this type of a party is always held on the day before a royal wedding.
I don't really know prince Lexar but I have heard a lot of things about him and I also heard that he is the crown prince of Bulgaria but as a rival to the throne, his stepbrother prince calix. But now that Lexar is getting married Calix doesn't stand a chance.
Well are you just going to be staring at the castle would you follow me in and get assigned to your job ok yes mam.
Lady Avian I have brought you the new maid you needed, right in time what is your name darling, I am Eliana, what a beautiful name I hope you are as hard-working as you are.
I said to myself I can't believe Avian is still here and still as delightful as always, I have known her for years to come, she is like an older sister I ever had.
So, Eliana, I sure would love to know more about you but as you can see a lot of preparations are going on and you have the most important job, your job is to take care of the prince's needs and here's a hint he like things ready for him even before asking.
So, first thing first you have to go change your clothes and put on the royal maid's uniform, Lydia would escort you, follow me "Lydia the beautiful maid with nice trimmed hair said with a delighted smile".
Eliana, since you are a personal royal maid your dress would be one of a kind different from others, Lydia said with a reassuring look on her face which made me comfortable, she gave me a blue dress with a red kirtle and a red waist bead for beautification, she also styled my hair to make it look and smell nice.
There is someone I want you to stay away from she is Trisha, she is not going to be happy about you taking her post. "said Lydia with a sad look", thanks but don't worry I would take care of it she doesn't stand a chance with me.
