That mornìng was quite busier than Aurora had expected. There was a lot to be done in the kitchens, and the place was hectic as usual. But Aurora had gotten a bit used to the rush and bustle of the kitchen.
She was gathering some scattered utensils and was heading to her work station when one of the Red Draconian guard came into the kitchen and announced that the Grand Prince summoned the mortal girl of Aztlan.
The whole kitchen fell silent. All eyes turned to her. Aurora felt the wave of anxiety immediately, it was nerve-wracking!
'What does the Grand Prince want with her?' He had already ordered that she shouldn't be punished, or does he want to punish her with his own hand?
Aurora wished that the ground would open up and swallow her there and then.
And the other kitchen maidens didn't help at all, they added to her uneasines, They said things like, "The First prince will surely punish you"
"Everyone knows just how ruthless he is."
