The Beast and the head of the household rushed into the room. They looked to their right as they saw Luke protecting Ellie and Gemma as he stood before them. Anne and Sarah knew that they were in trouble. Paige knew that her daughters did not listen to her and Luke. She had placed her head in her hands as she was embarrassed.
Luke stared directly at his stepdaughters and shouted at them as unsettled rage was growing inside of him. "You ignored what your mother and I said to you two this morning. You had us two and the head of the household telling you two off."
"If Emperor Carl decides to send us four or three home, you two are going straight to your bedrooms, and you will be grounded for 26 years. You two will not have fancy dresses or jewels and go to parties! You two saw that no man would not go anywhere near you two at all, and you two will see how hurtful, downright rude liars you two have been to Ella as well as everyone else."
"She gets the blame when she was not in the room nor the house at the time, and how can I call you two 'daughters' when you two do not behave properly? We got two more nights here, and you two will apologize to the two female servants whom you two have hurt, as well as I want to hear no 'buts' & no 'its.' If you two do not, go straight to the bedchambers, you have been given to use and stay there until dinner time! Do I make myself noticeably clear and not repeat what I just said!"
Ella (Rosabella) heard her father shouting and quickly walked inside. Angela led her to the living room, and the head of the household allowed her to walk past. Ella (Rosabella) saw Ellie and Gemma as she dropped the roses she had picked. She walked over to them and helped them stand up as she made known to her stepsisters and stepmother.
"Do not even think about it, and if I were you three, I would think thrice. The servants have done nothing wrong and are here to make our stay comfortable. You thee always judge everyone too quickly and do not look past their appearances at all. You two were told you cannot order servants here, but you two still do it because you think it is fun when it is not."
"We should be thankful to stay here because it is not every day that you stay at a Royal Palace. This is the first time that I have heard my father shouting and hearing him so angry. How would you three feel if someone did the same thing that you three had done to everyone else, including the two female servants and me, right back at you?"
Paige, Sarah, and Anne realize that Ella (Rosabella) is telling the truth. The Beast and the head of the household calmed down while Ella (Rosabella) was talking. Ella (Rosabella) was allowed to leave the room and went straight to the bedchamber she had been given.
Unfortunately, Anne and Sarah 100% refuse to apologize to Ellie and Gemma. "You two, go straight to the bedchambers you have been given and stay there until dinner!"Luke declared, and the head of the household decided to assign two other servants to Sarah and Anne.
Sarah and Anne scurried to the bedchambers that they were given. After they left, the head of the household looked at the Beast, and the Beast knew that he must provide Ellie and Gemma a break from Ella (Rosabella)'s stepsisters. Ellie picked the roses that Ella (Rosabella) had dropped and placed them in her pocket.
The Beast looked at Luke and Paige as he spoke. "Ellie and Gemma will not deal with your daughters anymore. The head of the household will choose two female servants, and they will attend to your daughters. Ellie and Gemma will help in attending Rosabella from now on."
Ellie and Gemma were relieved they would no longer attend Sara and Anne. They went to tell Angela, Fred, and Lucy the excellent news. Angela was overjoyed to have Ellie and Gemma help her attend Ella (Rosabella). Ella (Rosabella) had no idea she had two more servants looking after her and knew she had met them.
The Beast and the head of the household went away. The head of the household picked two female servants, Julia and Emma, to attend Sarah and Anne. Sarah and Anne did not know that they would have two new servants.
Ella (Rosabella) calmed down and knew that was the first time she had stood up for herself and everyone else, as she had feared. "I just hope that my father is not mad or angry at me and hope that the two female servants are alright."
Ella (Rosabella), Sarah, and Anne stayed in their bedchambers until dinner. Ella (Rosabella) got dressed and went to the dining room. Sarah and Anne went to the dining room. They were envious when they saw Ella (Rosabella) in a magnificent dress, and Sarah thought she was going to sit in the middle of the table and between two men sitting on either side of the chair.
But how completely wrong was she because Luke escorted Ella (Rosabella) to the middle seat, and Anne knew she was sitting near the top end of the table. The door opened, and Emperor Carl walked into the room with six other people. Sarah, Ella (Rosabella), Anne, Paige curtsy, and Luke bows before them.
Emperor Carl felt his heart miss a beat as he saw Ella (Rosabella) in her dress and knew he would have her on his right the following night. The two men saw Ella (Rosabella) standing behind the chair and knew that Emperor Carl saw her first. Luke, Paige, Sarah, Anne, and Ella (Rosabella) waited for the six people, as well as Emperor Carl, to get to their seats.
