Pushing open the door to the Princes bedroom, Lili stopped and looked. Before her she could see a simple but comfortable looking room. The floor was made of fine wood with a large mattress full of patterns covering most of it.
In the middle next to the wall there was a large king-sized wooden bed with red curtains around it and white sheets along with big pillows. It looked so large, that she could copy herself six times and even then she and all her little copies would like totally fit side by side on the bed with some space still to go around. Plus it was a very long bed as well. So she like, could totally fit maybe even plus six more copies there right below her little feet. Truly something that seemed to be meant for a really large man.
Lighting the room there was a singular chandelier that had a few candles burning there. Honestly despite it's simple looks the room seemed to have it all. A fire place, a balcony covered by large red curtains, bookshelves with books that she couldn't read, a large sofa, a large chair and even a freaking lute in the corner.
But most noticeable of all was a work desk that was right in-between the window and the glass door to the balcony. But it wasn't this desk that was noticeable but the painting above it. Curious of this Lili walked closer to it and as she did the picture came quite clear to her.
In it she could see a familiar looking face of an extremely beautiful teenage girl with deep blue eyes and that was dressed in a revealing purple dress that showed off her massive tits nicely. Her lips were slightly parted and her eyes even seemed a bit teary. She looked so innocent and fragile, but sweet and seductive as well.
Then Lilis eyes caught a glimpse of herself in the small clear mirror that was on the work desk and that's when she noticed it. She rubbed her eyes making them a bit teary looking, parted her lips a little and looked into the mirror seductively.
"Damn I look hot, much better than this big tittied bitch. This bitch might look much like me and have those tits, but I'm still a bit better. Although it is a beautiful portrait nonetheless."
But thinking of it a bit more, Lili just couldn't shake this feeling of similarity within the picture before her. To Lili it was like she was looking in the mirror at a possible future version of herself. Truly the girl in the picture appeared to be her but a bit older. Then the maid standing at the door spoke up and said.
"Hmm, your indeed right miss. Although you shouldn't go calling others names like that, it is not good manners and not something a proper girl would ever say.
Besides, you both look quite exceptional and almost like sisters and so you shouldn't go comparing yourself like that. Your both looking good and that's should be enough for you.
Although now that I think of it I just can't help but wonder if maybe that's why the Queen chose you for this role. Ooh, I still remember it so clearly. It all happened after the prince had come home from his visit to Duke Lionheart's household. After that he seemingly just lost almost all interest in girls. The only one he seems to have any real desire towards is that girl in the picture, but sadly the prince hasn't been able to find her ever since their first encounter some years ago. One can only wonder where such a beautiful young woman could have seemingly just vanished into. After all the Kingdom of Albion is not that large of a kingdom, you would imagine that someone would have seen her at some point in time."
Hearing this Lili couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. What if this story was of her? What if the prince had fallen madly in love with her? Had the Prince perhaps seen her at some point in time? Maybe she was unknowingly in one of those love at first sight situations with the Prince.
But no, surely not. She didn't have tits like that and besides she's pretty sure she would have recognised a prince if she ever saw one. After all rich people usually dressed well, were quite arrogant and a bit strange in their own special ways, right.
The most likely explanation here was that this older girl was just some other chick, maybe a relative of hers. Surely she had some family out there, after all she knew for a fact that she had a father. The question just was, where was the man and did he perhaps have many similar looking girls, like her?
Pushing these thoughts aside for now, Lili decided to focus on the more important matter at hand. With a quick thank you and a few other words, Lili managed to convince the old woman to return to bed as well as she would do the same.
But unknown to this old woman she wasn't actually going to do this. Looking to the bed, Lili noticed that her old cloak that Art had gifted her was there all dry and nice.
After putting it on Lili grabbed the sizable sack of food and with some effort managed to lift it over her shoulder. And that's when she tried to grab a hold of her light stone, but it wasn't there.
Using her magical senses Lili quickly found what it was that she was looking for. The stone was not far, actually it was just outside in the hallway.
Realising this Lili quickly with food sack over her shoulder went to open the door and peaked out of it slowly. Immediately her eyes landed upon where the stone was, it was right outside the Queen's room right where Sir John was standing at.
This was not good. Her only other way out of this place was through the balcony, but under the balcony there was nothing but a massive drop down to the main castle below. She could try and move along the buildings outside railings and maybe enter the gardens like that. But Lili didn't like heights very much and she had already almost died once in this life, she definitely didn't want to try her luck again.
So with this in mind Lili decided to just go for the stairs and hope for the best. But as she did this she immediately heard Sir John start rushing towards her. Oh shit, she was busted.
Lili not knowing what to do just looked to him and nervously smiled and mentally prepared for the worst. As Sir John came to her side, he managed to surprise Lili by suddenly falling to one knee with a bang. Then he lowered his head and said.
"Please young miss, let me carry that for you."
Taken aback by this, Lili hesitated for a second, but seeing no way out, she faltered and just handed the sack of food to him. For some reason this made the old man smile happily as if he had just won the lottery. Without hesitation he took the sack as if it weighed nothing and then said.
"Where is it that you wish for this sack to be delivered, young miss?"
For whatever reason the man though happy looking at first, suddenly turned so serious after saying this. Lili didn't know what to do and felt a bit fearful as she then honestly said.
"Umm, well I was going to go out into the garden with it. Is that ok?"
Immediately after saying this the man stood up and said.
"Yes, of course. That will not be a problem at all. I will follow."
After saying this, Lili hesitantly turned around and started heading down the stairs. There another guard stood at the ready. Lili hesitated on what to do as the guards cold gaze fell upon her, but then her hand was lightly grabbed by Sir John who smiled at her and said.
"Come on miss, no need to hesitate. If its the gardens that you're headed to, then it is just over that way."
And so without a question Lili started to be led onwards by John. The guards in the halls just stood at attention and saluted as they passed. No questions were asked as they then quickly came to the garden forest.
Standing there Lili quickly realised that she had no clue, where exactly it was that she needed to go. She only had a single vague memory of the last time that she was here. She had been so awed by the sights around this place, that she had apparently failed to memorise the path to the well.
And so she looked to sir John and cautiously asked. "Mmm, could you maybe help me find the well?"
Hearing this Sir John without a second of hesitation said. "Of course young Miss, just follow me. I will guide you."
While walking through the forest Lili couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious of this man, and so she checked something out. And sure enough he was the one that had her light stone in his pocket. Or more specifically he had it right in his breast pocket, right under his heavy chest plate.
After realising this, Lili suddenly felt a bit mad. Was this old man a thief? Just the thought of it made her hesitation and fear vanish immediately, and then be replaced by anger.
Pulling on the man's sleeve, they then came to a stop. And with a frown on her doll like face, she looked into his hazy old eyes and said.
"Sir John, you wouldn't be hiding something of mine in your right breast pocket, now would you?"
Sir John's eyes went wide, he let go of Lilis hand and like a stone he fell to his knees, Lili got startled by this and unconsciously took a few steps back. John bowed as low as he possibly could in front of her as he seemingly started to plead with her.
"I I, I'm truly sorry. I shouldn't have, but its just that it felt so warm and soothing to my soul. Oh holy maiden of light, this humble servant only meant to hold on to it for a while. You see the maids were going to take it for themselves, but I took it before they could and kept it safe for you. I didn't mean to keep it, I swear. Of course I should have returned it to you immediately, but I didn't. So please take it and punish me, I deserve it."
Lili was completely in disbelief, what the fuck was this man speaking about. All she had done was say where the stone was and yet for such a minor thing she got such a reaction.
Quickly Lili went to grab at the man's shoulders, shook him to the best of her abilities and said.
"No, stop it Sir John, get up. You're embarrassing me, I'm not a holy being or something, ok. And, I definitely don't wish to punish you or no one for that matter. I was just asking if you had my light stone as all, if you really wish to keep it then you can. I can always make more, it's not a big deal. But know that it only works if your belief in it is pure and your heart is just and good."
Hearing this sir John lifted up his head, looked up at Lili and said.
"Thank you for your mercy, your holiness. But I did see you, I saw the halo around your head when you cured the Queen of her sickness. The Queen might not have realised this, but her words were right. You are a little angel. And besides I know you to be the saviour of the Queen. So because of this, I Sir John Bell swear to keep you safe and follow you wherever it is that you might go. You're life comes first before all, even the Queen's. This I swear, even if you do not accept it."
In Lilis magical eyes she could see that this man was all of a sudden burning with devotion towards her. The light stone had already started to take effect and was brightening up the man's hazy eyes.
Truly this man was lost, just by the look in his eyes, she could see it so clearly already. This man had already lost all reason and become a fanatic follower of hers or something, and she just knew that there was now nothing that she could say or do to change his mind. The man had even seen a supposed halo around her head, the dude was clearly nuts.
With a sigh Lili stood up and said.
"Fine, but don't tell others about this. Only if you absolutely have to, I don't want you getting into trouble for this and I definitely don't want fame, ok. I just want to help people in need if possible, for the simple reason that it is the right thing to do, and that's all. Plus I only am capable of using light magic to heal people so don't expect something crazy out of me, ok."
Getting up on one knee sir John looked at Lili and with a smile said.
"Yes you're holiness. I will do my all to see your will for filled."
Sighing once more Lili then managed to get John back on his feet and they then continued onwards to the well. But just as the well came into view Lili ordered John to give her the sack and wait. She didn't want him to see her mom, after all there was no knowing how he would react to a free Lycan woman.
So now with sack in both hands Lili waddled to the well and lifted it onto it's edge. Then she looked into it and yelled lightly.
"Mother, I'm back with food. Open up."
Then the wall deep in the well started to be taken a part stone by stone and then Accalia in her human form came peaking out of it.
Immediately both their eyes lit up with tears of happiness as they saw one another. It had not been long since they had last seen each other and yet it felt so long. Sadly the night was no longer young and time was running out.
Lili quickly dropped the sack to Accalia who easily grabbed it and then she shared the great news of her new job with her. Accalia knew not what a bed maid was, but to hear that her own daughter had gotten a job so fast brought her great relief and joy.
After this Lili planned on bringing a lot more things down to her mom. After all she too needed some blankets a bed and other basic essential things other than food. And so they decided to meet up here every night to share news and supplies.
Right now Accalia had nothing to share, but soon Lili could give her more light stones and with them the greenhouse would grow.
With this done Lili and John returned back to the castle and without any further complaints she fell into bed and passed out fast.
