The next morning, Ana woke up and found herself on the floor where she had stayed crying and sobbing.
She walked towards the mirror to look at her face, she stood there looking at her reflection in the mirror, the only thing that ran in her mind were the words the perverted prince told her last night.
A tear fell from her left eye as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"How am I ever gonna get out of here?" she asked herself turning away from the mirror and sat on the bed. She decided to lay down on the bed with her hands hugging her knees and her toes curling up. She had to admit the bed was very comfy and soft but it didn't calm the thoughts in her head.
Her twisted ankle wasn't hurting anymore, and she could move it swiftly. She then remembered what Alexander said last night about her not being human, she pondered on the thought a little and then shook her head.
"Naaa, I'm definitely human, I can't believe I'm listening to what that psycho says now, get a hold of yourself Ana" she said hugging her knees tighter, she had no intentions of listening, seeing or talking to anyone in the Century.
It was already some minutes past eight and the maids knocked on her door.
"Milady, good morning, we brought breakfast for you", said the maid trying to listen if Ana was already awake.
" Oh come on, don't y'all have anything else to do than to disturb my quiet time!"
She was not in a good mood so she doubted she was going to eat anything they brought to her, but then she remembered how delicious dinner was, so she allowed them in.
"Good morning milady, you haven't washed up yet?", asked a maid called Gwen as she smiled kindly at her.
Gwen was new to the castle, she was one of the replacement of the 11 maids that were beheaded in the courtyard, and she hadn't heard the rumors about staying away from Ana.
" I haven't showered yet, I can't find a toothbrush do you know where I can get one?" asked Ana looking at her.
"Well, there are some new ones in the storage, I can get one for you" said Gwen looking at her with a bright smile.
"Oh, so there are toothbrushes in this century, how nice. I'll like one please, oh do you know where the soap is kept?" asked Ana.
"Forgive me milady, but I don't understand what you mean?" said Gwen confused.
"What the?, don't you know what soap is?" asked Ana in total shock as the maids nodded to her.
"Okay what do you use to make your body smell nice when you bath?" asked Ana this the slowly, like she was talking to an animal.
"Oh you mean the ointments?, their right in your bathroom milady" answered Gwen.
"Alright, I'll just use them, you can skedaddle now" said Ana waving her hands as the maids left the room in a hurry.
"Damn, it's hard to talk to these people, its like teaching a foreigner English" she said as she walked towards the bath tub and started taking her bath.
******************
In the royal court room, the prince and the counsel of advisors, ministers and village officials were having a meeting and they were all giving out their opinion on the betterment of Gilmore.
" Your majesty, I think we should take the demands of the Hansville Kingdom, it will be very suiting for our kingdom, since they have enough salt supply, and we have gold" said Minister Bellwick.
"The Hansville Kingdom has refused to work with us unless his majesty decides to take up one of the princesses of their kingdom as his betrothed" answered minister Lucks smirking at the prince.
" I am not interested in silly matrimony minister Luck, and we will find another way to get the Hansville Kingdom serious, let's see why they really want to dismiss their daughter so quickly" said the prince with a sly smile.
The ministers were not so happy that they were taking orders from the prince because he wasn't crowned yet, they thought of him as immature and unsuitable for the throne, that's why they were waiting for one of his sisters to bear a male child, but that would take an eternity because of the spells Alexander cast on them.
" I guess we can find a solution to that" Said minister Oliver, the only man that supported the prince in all his decisions and was willing to help him in any way he could, the man was such a sweet heart if you would ask me😏.
The meeting ended after an hour and all the ministers and magistrates left the courtroom everyone with their friend, discussing and talking about what happened on the courtroom.
†††††††† ~Meanwhile in the maid's pavilion ~
The maids were doing the laundry and they were all chatting about men of their style and things that happen in the castle, typical of maids.
" I'll love to marry a rich and handsome man that will take me to all the kingdoms and make me feel like the best woman in the world, and not to mention to love me like he loves his mother " said one of the maids giggling.
"Don't fantasize too much dear, we all know the richest men in our kingdoms are not ordinary humans like us, their either wizards, or werewolves, or creatures of the night, or have some kind of course placed on them" responded the other maid smiling.
"Hmmm, I don't mind getting married to a creature of the night they're kind of attractive, and they can turn you into one of them and you'll live forever like they do immortality" she said as she twirled around with the fabrics in her hands.
"So what about you Gwen?, what or who do you want to marry?" asked the silly maid curiously.
"I don't know exactly, but I think I have my eye on someone" said Gwen thinking about the King's right hand man Edward.
"So tell us what he's like" asked another maid nudging her shoulder to tell them more.
"He's tall, and handsome, and rich. He's not human, I don't know what he is yet" she smiled to herself and she was washing the clothes.
" Well then go on tell us more, who is he?, do we know him from the village?" asked the other maid.
"He's friends with the king, and he's very nice" she said and all the maids laughed at her.
" Wait you think you'll fall in love with the King's friend?, that's absurd Gwen, you should know better, the King's friends only sleep with maids and throws them away like rags, I'm really sorry but.... I don't think he'll fancy you" said the eldest maid to Gwen.
"Say what you want, I'm not giving up on the person I love" she whispered to herself and then asked.
"What about the new lady in the castle, she seems friendly" she said as she looked up.
"Who, that woman?, she's a killer, your too nice to work around here Gwen, they might just kill you next. Eleven people died yesterday because of her, and that's why you have a job here. Don't think about it too much and just ignore her friendship, it will lead you to no good" answered the maid.
"Hmmm, why is everyone in this castle so negative about everything, it's so uncomfortable" she said in her mind as she continued washing.
*********
After eating breakfast, Ana sat on the bed wondering what she will do next as she was thinking of what the Prince said last night.
"I need to leave here, I can't just sit and do nothing, this place is fucking annoying and it has nothing to do with my lifestyle." she said as she got annoyed.
She walked to the door and tried to open it but it was locked, she tried the door to the balcony and it was also sealed shut.
As she was still pulling on the door to the terrace, Alexander walked into her room without her even noticing.
"Greetings milady, trying to run away again I see" said Alex with a smirk on his lips.
"Good your here because I want to leave!!!" she said as she kicked the door to the terrace.
"You seem to have weird habits milady, how do you feel at ease doing that?" he asked confused as he had never seen a girl act so lawless.
"Oh please deal with your own freaking habits, if I have weird habits you have zero manners, you keep on entering my room however you like, and you've kidnapped me and preventing me from leaving this hell hole, don't you know about human rights huh?, what if I was naked, you'll still barge in here like it's ya room?" she asked as she crossed her arms in anger.
"Well that would have been a sight to see" he chuckled as she got angrier and her face turned red like a tomato.
" No man, your gonna let me out of here, whether you freaking like it or not, you can't just hold me hostage here, I have no one to come get me!!" she complained.
"Look, I don't know what you've been doing with my information but even if I have no one to go back to, that doesn't mean you should keep me here as your prisoner okay, now take me back home or I'll give you a hard time in this freaking fairytale life you live in" she said angrily, her eyes were starting to burn red and Alexander squinted his eyes as he saw it.
He moved closer to her and pinned her on the wall, he stared directly into her eyes watching the red color in them intensify as she was getting angry, it seemed he was fueling her anger.
"What are you doing, let me go!!" she screamed and suddenly Alexander felt his hands burn, he didn't let go, he stared at her until the color of her eyes turned back to normal and she fell to the floor.
