"I see, you woke up, Your Highness,"
"Yeah."
"Emily! Rose!"
With the names being yelled like that, one with really warm and gentle vibes while the other with a sharp gaze, two girls came forward with a basin and a towel in hand,
"Please get ready soon, My Lady or you will be late to meet Mrs. Sendras."
Said Hieldi with a very stern voice,
"Was it today? The meet-up?"
"Yeah, My Lady"
"And, This is July, your new maid."
"New maid? What happened to Sandy?"
"She was being too comfortable around you that she almost forget her place."
With a warning gaze, hieldi replied.
'Another eye on me'*SIGH*
After washing her face she went to refresh herself while the maids were preparing her outfit to wear,
"My Lady, how is the blue one, this would suit you."
In an excited voice and with a wide smile July asked,
"That-"
Before the lady could finish her sentence, Heildi interrupted her words,
"Here your red dress my lady"
Shoving a bulky red dress she said.
"But won't she look good in the blue one?"
"NO…She won't and Mrs. Sendras likes color red."
Between comparison and confusion July lost her wide smile with the glare of the head maid, while the preparation carried as nothing happened,
"The lavender scent will suit you better, My lady"
July still didn't give up on her advice for the betterment of the lady but just like again she was interrupted by Heidi,
"No, have the rose scent today as Mrs. Sendras like roses. Isn't that right, My lady?"
"Yeah."
Again with the same in her head, July noticed the lady's expressionless face and mumbled by herself softly,
"But you don't seem like it."
And so the rest of the preparation got carried away,
"Head maid, My lady's breakfast is served."
"Hmm…we will head to it next."
And so leaving three maids there the rest followed the lady including Emily, July, and The head maid herself.
"Why are you grinning like that?"
Noticing July's wide smile on her small face Emily asked,
"Nothing, am just excited to see the prince I heard he is the cutest boy in our empire."
"Control yourself, and just so you know, we won't get to see the prince and the lady dining together."
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, Tha-"
"EMILY!! Serve the lady."
Before Emily could have solved her curiosity and confusion, she was asked to serve the lady.
Being tangled up by her curiosity July wandered her eyes here and there around the dining hall until got noticed the lady herself,
"What is it that you are looking for?"
"Nothing I was just wondering about the prince."
As soon as she said those words the atmosphere of the hall changed drastically but with July's ignorance she carried her babbling about babies and the prince,
"Don't get me wrong my lady, it's just I love babies so when I got here and heard about the cuteness of the prince I co-"
"EMILY!! I see that even though you have been following us for years you still don't know how to teach your juniors, is that how it is?"
"NO, I-"
"I…didn't ask for your lame excuses now, did I?"
"No-that…please excuse me."
Emily dragged July with her to the corridor.
"Don't stop eating, My lady or you will be late."
While serving the juice she said. At that moment her advice felt more like a threat in that chilly atmosphere.
The servants were so stiff that anyone could barely feel breath.
"What was that?"
"What? Did I do something wrong, I just asked about the prince, is it so wrong to ask a mother about her child?"
*SIGH*
"It's not wrong, it's…it's just not normal here."
"What do you mean?"
