It was a large, cozy bed that was so soft and fluffy that I could lie on it for ages. Never in my life had I slept on a bed. My heart was bursting with happiness; it was a completely different feeling. Did other princesses live like this? The wolf prince rubbed my foot and put me to sleep painlessly, like a newborn. I think I enjoy living here, and I no longer want to return home.
Everything about my room seemed magical, and it was a beautiful sight to behold. Like a room of a loved princess.
A light tap on my shoulders I jolted up, the ladies chuckled at my reaction.
"Princess…" said one of the maid
"No..Call her Your highness," the other whispered to the other.
"Your breakfast is ready!! Do you want to wash your feet first?" the first maid asked.
I smiled, seeing the sumptuous meal on the table. The aroma was so pleasant that I could smell the heady aroma of fried chicken. I hurried over to the table.
Grabbing one of the chicken legs, I dropped it on the floor. Stepped on it two times, bent down, picked it and ate it.
The maids watched me in awe, they didn't stop me, they just stared at me weirdly.
I offered one of them the chicken, "Disgusting!!" she screamed, hitting the chicken off my hands.
The other said, "What kind of princess eats what is on the ground?"
I poured the remaining food on the floor, I stepped on it and ate them. The food tasted so good, I think they have a better chef here!!!
"Your Highness, are you done eating?" the other asked, smiling mockingly.
"She really eats on the floor, I am better off as a princess then." said the maid, chuckling. I ignored her when she stepped on my fingers because I was too hungry to hear their gibberish.
A Maid came in
The other maids straightened up as the maid entered. They bowed to her, I guess she was their head maid.
The maid rushed to me, dragging me up and cleaning my hands.
"My princess, you can't eat from the floor," she said with a concerned face.
It was the maid that brought warm water for my feet yesterday. She seemed nicer than others.
She never laughed at my feet when she saw them yesterday.
"Why are you all allowing her to eat off the ground? I take it that everyone stood and watched? The maid said.
"I will report to the prince,"
"I am sorry, I couldn't stop.her. The prince killed two helpers yesterday. We just don't want to offend the princess," she said.
"So?? You watched her eat from the floor?"
I watched them arguing, it was nice that someone could stand up for me.
She washed my hands, it was very oily from the chicken. She washed my hands like a mother caring for her child.
She held my hands saying, "My princess, please don't ever eat anything from the ground,"
She points to the ground,
"Princess, see here."
The maid carried the food and kept it on the floor.
Doing a sign like X with her hands, "Princess don't put it in your mouth. Okay? Never? It's bad. A princess doesn't eat anything on the floor."
With a smiling face, I Hugged her.
She replied with a smile.
She turned to the maid, "Please don't ever let her eat from the floor. If not, the prince will make your head roll like a pie."
With their grumpy faces, the maids were arranging the plates to take their leave, the maid that likes me was washing my feet. I kept playing with the water, flashing it on her face.
Three ladies and a much older lady rushed in, their faces were like they were sent to kill me.
The other maids ran away at the sight of them.
They dragged my favorite maid away from me. She said,
"What do you want, barging into the seventh prince mansion? I will report to him."
"If you don't keep quiet, I will send you to meet your dead parents in the grave," one of the ladies said.
The more mature lady signaled the girls to make me kneel, they forced me to get on my knees.
"What are you doing to the princess? Seventh prince will make you all pay for this," said my maid.
The third lady slapped my maid three times and she spat out blood.
"If I hear a word from you, I will cut your tongue and feed it to a dog."
She went to my bed, raising my bedsheets. She shakes her head to the older lady.
"Princess of wherever you came from, "I am Matha, the leader of the purity test. It's the tradition of the Belgian, to check the first wife of the prince If she is still a virgin. But yesterday, the matchmaker said they didn't check you. The prince said he was having his first night with you last night but your bed sheets have no blood stain."
"Princess, are you pure or not?"
I was busy biting my nails as she talked, just smiling at my pretty nails.
"Please when the prince comes you can ask him. Your highness can't talk," my maid defended.
"She can't talk? What kind of princess don't talk? Or she is deliberately ignoring me," The much older lady Matha said.
"Don't worry, I will make her talk."
She cupped my cheeks and slapped me with the other hand.
"Now can you talk," she said with a smirk.
I burst out crying, I screamed so loud that it could burst her eardrum.
"Shut it!! Shut up!!! Shut up!!!" said the matured lady, closing my mouth with her hands.
I struggled with her, pushing her hands from my mouth, the other lady held my two hands to my back.
"You want to cry right? I will make you cry more. Give me the hot iron," she stretched her hand to the maid.
She gave her a red blazing iron puffing out smoke.
"Princess, this is your punishment for not being a virgin." she said, holding the iron.
"Spread out her legs"
Her helpers lay me down on the floor and spread my legs widely apart.
The older lady used the hot iron and placed it on my lap. I screamed my lungs out, it was so painful. She put it again closer to my virgina, this time the pain went to the brain. Will I die from this? Well I have been waiting for death all my life. I thought this place was better than home, but now it seems it's worse than home. I want to go home now!!!
I heard the loud sound of my room door falling apart. He rushed in, panicking.
That sweet manly voice drawing a sword and screaming, "How dare you invade my palace with your minions?"
