" What?" I ask wondering what he's up to by asking me that .
" What kind of food do you love eating? Didn't you say you love eating , or you eat anything as long as it's eatable ? "
" I don't think it's necessary telling.."
" Just say it , can't I treat my new servant a meal to welcome her ? I do that for all my new maids ? "
" Am totally fine, Your highness ." I say talking respectively now that the guards are raising a brow again .
" You don't talk back at me , didn't they tell you that?" What on the earth is his problem ? Is he gonna force me to eat just because I said it's my hobby?
I don't say anything more to him and neither do him . His bodyguard comes back with a metal like small box in his hand . "What's the next destination, Jeremy?" The prince ask him .
" Road Durkana, to meet Prince Gregory." his bodyguard answer.
I've heard of that Prince Gregory , he's from kingdom of willows, our kingdom have many fights with that kingdom of willows, I've heard rumours that it has always been jealous of our position.
They always want to take the position.
" Take her back . " he tells the guard that was controlling the horses with the carriage .
" Your highness , if I go back who will..."
He cuts him " Since when do anyone question me ? I don't understand why people are talking back at me , questioning me! Since when ?!"
What now ? He has just been grinning idiotically some minutes ago and now he looks like he's gonna murder someone , talking back at him? Hah.. isn't he the one who was acting casually? Am sure he is referring to me.
The guard flinches , fear written all over his face " My apologies , your highness, for my lack of good morals ." The guard say bowing and walking to the carriage fast as if , if he delays for a moment he's gonna loose his life .
I follow him without even a single word . Why on earth did he ask me to come anyway ? Just to ask the kind of gift to buy for princess Fernanda .
Princess Fernanda is from kingdom of Charna. She is most known of her beauty, they say she is the most beautiful princess , I've never seen her but am guessing her and our princesses there is no much range in beauty .
I also heard that she loves prince Arthur so much and people are looking forward to a big union between Sabia Kingdom which is our kingdom and Charna Kingdom .
I've actually heard a lot , haven't I? Well my uncle was a knight, he spent most of his time here , that's why .

" Why is he so mad , everyone has been saying he is in a good mood today , what now.. mood swings ?!" The guard riding the carriage complains on the way back .
I shut my mouth because I was told gossiping is not allowed, especially not on any member of the royal family.
" Why did he carry you with us anyway? Since when does he carry servants around?! Now I have to take you back and go back for him , what kind of work is this ? ...Why ain't you saying anything?!" He ask after noticing that am not supporting what he's saying.
" I don't gossip, especially not about the prince " I say not wanting to talk to him . I like it when I Mind my own business.
" Hahha.. just because you are a newbie you want to pretend to follow the rules , let's see how long it'll take ."
I ignore him.
After some minutes we arrive , the entry strong metal gate opens and the horses walk in . I get off the carriage and the guard goes back .
I pass the statue of an old man who am guessing was the late king .
I walk towards the mansion , at the entry I meet the lady who instructed me earlier .
" Where have you been ? We looked for you everywhere and thought you ran away Although there's no way to run away . You.. you left the buckets and all those dirty thing in the prince's room ! The queen was in there and she was so mad , we looked for you but couldn't find you . So They replaced you , now you will replace another girl who came today as you and was asked to work in flower garden, you'll only have to bring fresh flowers everyday , and water them , put them in the flower pots that are in the mansions, in every pot , you are not alone though, there are other people in the garden, I'll need those clothes you are putting on ."
" Really ? I don't have to work as the prince's servant anymore ?"
" Yes , it's your own fault." she says thinking that am feeling so sad about it .
Well actually I don't know how it make me feel , somehow am relieved because now there's no one who will be on my back every minute and I wont be associating with the royal family so no problem even if am not a girl , working in a garden doesn't count if you are a girl or boy . But somehow am sad because am already missing him , we were getting along just well , were we though?
I walk to the flower garden , I love the view , the fact that they are of different colours and are also green grass around just makes me wanna lie on them.
" Welcome to the team , it's better if we have you instead of that egoistic brat." one guy say coming my way , there are actually many girls and boys in here, and it looks like it's going to be fun.
" Thank you " I shyly say , like a little naive girl .
" She kept saying that she was the one who deserves that position and not you , they didn't even choose her , she begged for that position until the queen pitied her. Where did you go anyway ? " a girl ask .
" Uh.. never mind , what am I supposed to do here, like my task " I ask and they give me instructions.
We work , pruning , watering and all that , it's actually fun , we play around without anyone monitoring us .
I lie on the grass that I've been dying to after finishing my work . I didn't notice that sleep swept me away . I wake up hearing much noises around me . What's the fuse about?' I wonder.
I open my eyes slightly only for them to widen when they meet directly with the prince's.
