I smiled at how cute Viviana was being. Heading to my room when I started to feel chest pains. I fell onto my knees and started to cough up blood. Fuck… Not again… My head started to feel light and the hallway seem to spin around. I hope this bloody curse end.
"P-prince Elatha!"
Joshua's voice I heard from a distance and I felt him lifting me up and quickly went to my room. Placing me on the bed. He had me sip some red wine and I started to feel better.
"Your highness, it's getting much worse…"
"I know Joshua…"
Then the door swings open.
"Knock Knock! Can I come in~?"
It was of course Calista. Joshua try to kick her out but I told Joshua to leave. Leaving me and Calista alone in my room.
"I didn't invite you to break into a man's room and it makes it worst to know a lady like you lack proper manners…"
She slapped me, this isn't the first time she slapped me but it doesn't hurt like back in my teenage days. Why? Because I use to be so crazy in love with her. However, I am not sure how to feel about her. It's not love… It's something strong inside me that I seem to keep trying to hide.
"How dare you! I am Princess Calista! I have the right to do whatever I wa-"
I grab her wrist tightly and drag her out of my room. I wanted to make sure, my hand left a mark on her wrist.
"Ow! Let go of me!!"
I pushed her out as she fell onto the floor. Staring at her as she just glare at me. Princess my ass… Princess or not you have to follow etiquette.
"Oh dare Sister-in-law~ I didn't mean to hurt you~ What will happen if someone sees a man's hand mark on your wrist~ Wouldn't rumors spread about you cheating on your husband~?"
She bit her lips in anger and stood up. Once more having her hands ready to slap me. I caught her wrist. I think I know the feelings I try to keep deep inside. Hate… I hate her… I hate everything about her and how shitty she is but I could never move on because I still miss the good old times…
"Calista, just remember this~ I hate you… I hate everything about you… you stole my heart and played with it, Don't think I came back for you~"
I took a step closer to her and whisper in her ears.
"I came to hopefully make you taste the bloody rose I face~"
I pulled away with a smirk on my face as her face goes pale. I heard from the other maids that Calista had been bullying those poor maids. They did however say there was one maid they said that got revenge on them by burning things she loved~ I wonder who it could be? Hmm, I'll have to solve this mystery.
"Get lost before I spread some rumor on your perfect princess life~"
I smash the door shut. I sigh and started to take off my shirt and throwing it onto the floor. Looking at myself in the mirror. I am a pretty handsome man, with a very nice body. Joshua then open the window and came in.
"Your highness, it seems you're having some ex issues,"
"We never a thing, she was my first love~ Now I want nothing to do with her,"
I grabbed my book and open it. A door magically appear on the wall and both me and Josuha went threw the door, making sure I had the book with me at all times. There it is, in a little secret area to find more info on anyone.
"Who are you wondering? Your Highness?"
I smirked a bit.
"Let's find this angel in disguise~"
Joshua nodded and started to take down drawings of Calista and we burn them. It hurts a bit, causing me to cough a little but I'll be fine.
"This angel who is in disguise is very easy to find,"
"It must be a maid who is willing to give up everything to do such devil's actions…"
Joshua took out a notebook and started to write the names of each maid. Ripping the paper out and pinning it to the wall. I look at all the names and their background history.
"No, none of the maids on the list would do it because all of them came from commerce and a few were slaves father bought, a slave like them don't have the guts to pull such a plan off,"
I thought about it for a while. There is only one person who could do it… Someone who told me Celina and Calista was the reason she came here. A person who suffered because of those two and someone who is smart enough to pull this off while having nothing to lose. Someone who just came to the Moon empire and all hell was let loose for Calista.
"Viviana…"
Joshua looked at me strangely and wonder why I said her name.
"Your highness…"
"Joshua, I think we find our devil who disguises themself as an angel~"
Joshua's eyes widen and couldn't believe it. Viviana, using those pretty red roses against Calista. Knowing how much Calista cares about being the perfect princess. Using Calista's thorns against her.
"There is no way your highness! Crown Princess Calista is known to have everything perfect! Besides Lady, Viviana is from a noble family! She would never do such acts!"
I chuckle and shook my fingers no.
"You only talked about Calista's Strengths and Viviana's weaknesses, but you forget Calista is crazy about being perfect, she could have easily lied that someone dares harm the perfect princess if it wasn't her perfect dress, garden, and jewelry~ Since it was her wedding gown, prize rose garden and jewelry, it broke her down and this makes her feel like she is not perfect and as for Viviana~"
I took a seat and crossed my legs, snapping my fingers to have my clothes change into some more sleeping attire.
"Viviana's strength is she is from a noble family, a lot of noble and royal families do a lot of nasty things to each other to win, they would usually have someone else to do the job but Viviana has nothing to lose since her whole family is like gone~ She took matters into her own hands~ Using Calista strength against her, like using an owner-pet to attack their own owner without even knowing~"
Joshua's jaw dropped. I closed his jaw and grab the book, opening it once again to leave the room. Joshua follow me out.
"Then, what will Lady Viviana do next?"
"Knowing her, anything can happen~"
I smirked.

"Viviana!"
Laura called out for me and I put down the sewing cloth.
"Laura, please be a little quieter, the other maids have to wake up early to bath the one and only second prince,"
I whisper. Laura giggle, knowing it was going to be her time to help out with his clothes. She is already drolling at that idea, I bet The second prince isn't even that hot. Kaiser is much more… h-hotter… I couldn't help but blushed a bit thinking about it.
"The other maids saw Crown Princess Calista with a man hand print on her wrist! I bet she is cheating and making love with some man! While the poor Crown Prince is a good husband,"
"I don't think she is that shameful to go and cheat on he- Wait…"
That is a great idea! I just need to make her suffer more!
"Laura, great idea!"
"Thanks! Wait… what idea??? Viviana… don't time me you're planning to-"
I cover her mouth and looked around. I heard someone nearby, by the sound of their footstep, it was no woman feet step. It's a man's footstep and heavier deep breath.
"Whisper Laura,"
I whisper and she nodded. I remove my hand from her mouth.
"Next step to slowly kill her is those rumors…"
"Viviana, rumor is not enough, no one is going to believe the perfect princess would do that,"
She is correct, there is no way… Unless, we get someone to sleep with her in bed and when morning comes, a maid will see that and Calista wouldn't know what happen!
"We just need someone who is willing to do the job of fake sleeping with her,"
"But who Viviana? There is no man would who dare do that,"
I stood up and grab my coin bag.
"Money is the answer, Laura,"
I grinned a bit and then left. Going outside for some air and someone jumps down from a tree. Turn around to see no one. They must be now in front of me huh? I turn back to the front and yes, he was there.
"Sir Caspian, what are you doing this late out?"
"Hm, Most maids would be scared and run away or run towards me with puppy eyes…"
I paused at what he just said. So it seems he likes to stay out at night and this is not the first time he must have spied on us maid. His heavy breath and walk are the same sound as the man I heard back inside. How long has he been watching us, maid?
"Sir Capian, do me a favor…"
"I'll do anything you say,"
He took me straight in the eyes,
"I know you want revenge on the Crown Princess, I two want revenge on her,"
"Sir Caspian, why? Do you mind telling me the reason?"
His eyes soften and he took out a pocket watch with a drawing of it seem to be his father!
"I was once from a noble family until the Crown Princess's family pushed the emperor to kill them by framing us. My father is dead and only my little brother and I are left,"
I cover my mouth in shock. How could they do this to his family?
"Then, are you willing to pretend you slept with her?"
"Yes… I'll even say I had to sleep with her because of royal order she told me,"
I held out my hand and he shook it, It was now a deal.
"We have a deal, In the next few days… we will set out our plan, I'll let you know when is the right time to sneak in her bedroom,"
"I'll be waiting for your call then~"
He kissed my hand. I was about to walk off to bed when I stop and slowly turn to him.
"Stop spying on us, maid,"
"My lady, it's not me… I have no use spying on you maid,"
He bowed before he left. I turn back on my path home when Kaiser was in front of me. He scared me! How many times does a guy just pop up?
"Ah! Kaiser! What are you doing?"
He covers my mouth and drags me behind a tree. He is looking out, it seems there is some guard walking around.
"Just stay still,"
He whisper, once it was clear, he just pinned me to the tree with both my wrist above my head.
"H-hey! What the hell are you doing!?"
"I need to ask you a question…"
My face was starting to turn pink. He really has no waves of shame!
"Are you, the one who plans the revenge?"
He let go of my wrist and I started to laugh.
"Haha! Why would I do such a thing? I am just a maid,"
"Lies, you are born to a noble family, only a noblewoman like you would plan and think that way, if you still have that noble title, you would use someone,"
I was shocked, how did he find out? I am not saying he is stupid, I just didn't expect him to be this smart. I crossed my arms.
"Fine, You caught me… I was the one who burn her perfect life…:
"I like that,"
I didn't expect him to agree to that.
"What's your next plan?"
"That's a secret,"
I push him away and walk towards the maid's room.
"Viviana, wait!"
I stop and turn around. He quickly runs up to me.
"Whatever you plan to do, just be careful…"
"Don't worry, you'll be amazed what I do next~"
I smile a bit at him before I went in to sleep. Everything was set, I just got to time it right. When the day comes, that Caslista has to sleep alone is when I'll bring in Sir Caspian. They head to bed and the next day came.
Even though I don't have to do anything today because of the second prince, I just end up sewing. Tonight is when I am going to find out who is Mr. Rosedale. Laura came rushing to me. She was blushing.
"Viviana!!! I-I saw the second prince! No, I dressed him! HisbodyissofreakinghotIwanttodie! AHHHHHHHH"
"Woah! Calm down!!!"
I smiled and try to calm her down.
"Alright! I dressed the second prince and as I was helping him put on his white shirt, he turn his head towards me and whisper, 'Such a lovely face~ Hope to see more of this pink face~' And then he winked at me! Ahh! He also has such a hot body!!!!"
I couldn't help but laugh at how cute she was being. The second prince sounds annoying, but if she is happy, I am happy.
"This good!"
Laura sigh and crossed her arms while taking a seat next to me. I just continued my sewing pattern.
"Viviana, you should go see the second prince once and see how handsome he is! You always say he isn't that handsome!"
"Cause I bet he isn't… I have seen better Laura…"
Laura then grabs my needle.
"I heard the second prince will be in the royal library!"
"I am not going, I am off duty remember? Also, you have some duty to get ready for a ball?"
I grab the needle back and put my sewing away.
"Tch… Come on!!! Just this once!"
"No Laura,"
I smiled and left the room. Heading outside, maybe I should go to the secret place where Kaiser tries to teach me magic. I went there and kept trying to lift the pebble. Over and over again. Until the sunset.
"Someone has been working hard,"
I look around to see no one. Then Kaiser jumps down from the tree. I crossed my arms and couldn't believe he was watching me the whole time.
"You watch me the whole time?"
"Not really, I was at the library and then went here… Since I couldn't find you anywhere!"
He was at the library? Wasn't the Second prince at the library?
"Kaiser, did you meet the second prince? Is he truly handsome like the other maids say?"
He smirked and looked away before he look back at me.
"Of course! He is a very handsome, tall, and very hot body guy!"
"Eh… I guess…"
Kaiser's jaw just drop, is he like everyone else who likes the second prince?
"I bet he is alright, I've seen better!"
"Um! lIke who?!"
Kaiser placed both of his hands on his hips. I couldn't help staring at him a bit. He looks handsome standing like that. G-geez! Whatever!
"You! I think you're better! Now it's almost time for the fountain!"
I blushed and walk away. I could swear he is smirking now. I bet he is proud of himself. He quickly caught up to me and we both head to the magic water fountain.
"I'll wait for you here!"
I nodded and went into the maze, that is when I forgot which way is the magic one. Was it left and left? I think! I went left and then turn left. Ha! I find it! I took out the pocket watch and kissed it, hoping to find that man and thank him.
I threw it into the water fountain and the water started to move around. The clear crystal blue water turns into a scene to show me, someone.
"I wish to find this man,"
I whisper and then it showed me…
"KAISER!?"
I gasp, there is no way that was him! Mr.Rosedale has black hair and… ruby eyes… I cover my mouth in shock. No way… I look into the water once again.
"There is no way!"
The magic fountain then shoot water into the air and showed him showing up to the ball and turning his hair black and climbing up to see me. Asking me to dance with him and I agreed.
"So… it's true… It was kaiser all along,"
Then the magic fountain water turns back to normal and I grab the pocket watch. Quickly rushing to Kaiser to see if it was true! Standing there in front of the maze I enter Kaiser standing with his arms crossed.
"Kaiser… Tell me the truth… You are Mr. Rosedale???"
Kaiser's eyes widen and it seems like he was trying to come up with some excuse.
"Kaiser! Don't you dare lie to me! Tell me the truth!"
I yelled. He was taken aback but he soon sigh.
"You're right, I am the one who dances with you!"
I was right! Then why did he hide it? Does he not know how much it means to me?
"I know, I know! I lied! I just want-"
I hugged him. I started to tear up, it mean everything to me.
"Thank you…"
I whisper. Kaiser slowly wrap his arms around me and softly smiled.
"Thank you for being there for me… I felt so alone,"
I slowly pulled away from him as the Moonlight start to shine on us. He looks so handsome under the light. He held out his hand.
"If a simple thing like this makes you happy, would you care to dance with me again Viviana~?"
I held his hand and nodded. We started to dance under the moonlight as the music started to play. He spins me once and my maid outfit turns into a beautiful gown and his outfit turns into a beautiful suit like a prince. We dance and dance until my feet got tired. We end up walking around the royal garden. Then the clock strikes midnight and then our outfits turn back to normal and I started to feel sleepy.
"Don't fall asleep princess, wait until you get back to your bed…"
I softly smiled and said,
"I wouldn't… fall… a…asleep"
I closed my eyes and that was it. I end up falling asleep in Kaiser's warm arms.
