Thread: An Animal's Trust (DarknessEmbraced666 & TekN0!!!)

The head maid had been adjusting her desk somewhat, seeing some papers strewn about like she had been vigorously waging war with a math problem that the maid herself couldn't even dream of tackling. She was happy that the princess was an extremely intelligent young woman with beauty to match, and it made her proud that she could be her caretaker. In her heart, she wanted to see the princess succeed. Alas, she worried about Serafina taking the throne. No, it wasn't that a kingdom shouldn't be run by a woman. Heavens no. The maid truly believed Serafina could lead the Royal Capital with a blindfold on. It was the politics, the stress, the worry, the constant nagging of city problems. The most Serafina had to worry about now were her studies, and she flew through that like an eagle in the clouds. Perhaps she was being a worry wart, but the head maid just had this feeling of dread about the throne. Shaken from her thoughts, the maid walked over to her bed, straightening her apron as she smiled warmly to Serafina. Another long night of numbers and signs, Princess? My my, you really shouldn't overdo it. Especially, She paused and bit her lip. With current affairs. How many times had those men spent hours upon hours in the conference rooms and halls just to go around in circles about Serafina taking the throne? Once again, she tried to clear her mind. Now then, you'll be lucky if breakfast is still warm for you, Princess. You may be royalty, but I won't make life easy for you by trying to reheat your food. She gently scolded, trying to make Serafina aware of the time of day. Ah, but it wouldn't matter really. The food was almost always perfect in some shape or form, most of the time being its freshness. Even if it were cold, any man or woman would delight in taking a bite of the castle's well prepared breakfast. After all, they had the best chefs in all of Trystan. The moment the princess got up, the maid was all over the bed in seconds, masterfully setting the sheets and making it look brand new. One couldn't even tell that a person had just gotten up from it. And in only a few short minutes! Come now, let's get you dressed. As she went off to grab Serafina her clothes for the day, she rattled off what was to be her schedule for the day. It shouldn't be anything new to the princess morning lessons on various subjects that she was already aware of, evening lessons that pretty much ended right at dinner time, and then by the time nightfall came, she would probably have her nose buried in a book in her bedroom. Oh dear, let me get your hair brush, Princess. Your hair is a mess. People will think you've been running with wolves! She teased and turned around, looking for said brush. Good heavens! The head maid cried out in shock, nearly jumping out of her skin as she turned in time to see a guard standing behind her. She slapped the man's armor plate as if it would have any effect despite their vastly huge gap in rank. She was pretty spunky, after all. M'lady, The guard, with spear vertical and resting on the ground, bowed before her with eyes glued to the ground, offering her the utmost respect. Forgive my intrusion. I understand you've just awakened. However, I've been tasked with delivering a message. The maid was hurrying him, stating that they had much to do today. She was noticeably ignored. The Council will be holding a gathering within the Royal Dining Hall. They've asked me to inform you that your presence is mandatory. They've also asked me to stress that. The guard raised himself up, decorated in royal armor from head to toe. And he was just a regular guard. The topic to be discussed is of delicate information. Please refrain from mentioning this to, He turned his head towards the maid, and despite his eyes being difficult to see, they could probably feel the man glaring at the head maid. Anyone else . And with that final warning, he bowed again and left. Hmph. The nerve. I understand the importance and delicate nature of official business. I never! The head maid soon became a hissy fit of curses and name calling that wasn't much becoming of a lady. To think, she was always the one keeping Serafina on the track to acting as a proper lady.
