A maid?
You were worth more than that. Of course you were. But the Royal Family didn't think so. So instead of painting beautiful pictures of their gorgeous kingdom, they had you scrubbing floors clean of dust, dirt and grime that was barely noticeable anyways.
You heard that Prince Henry was getting married to a princess. Your heart sunk. You knew what they did to the princesses. Sacrificed them to the dragon because of an old tale. Way back when, a king and his soldiers stormed upon a massive mountain, a hole in the middle. A long drop. Down there was a massive labyrinth of caves, a drain lived there with her three baby eggs peacefully. Until the king and his men killed her three daughters. So now every generation, three girls of royal blood should be sacrificed to the dragon.
Little did the dragon know that the new Queen and Ling were tricking her. They would cut a small wound upon the prince's hand and then the princess's and mix the royal blood with the common blood. So then the dragon would smell the "royal" blood off the girl as she was dropped into the caves.
It was cruel.
Quietly cleaning the floors, Henry kicked over your buckets of water. Letting it spill over the floors you just cleaned. "Stupid girl.." he chuckled haughtily.
Elodie, the princess he was going to "marry" stood there with her family, looking down on you with pity. She came from a poor kingdom, only marrying him for the money that may help her people. She was under the knowledge that she would be married, not sacrificed. Her family were nice people, her father, stepmother and little sister.
While the royals laughed at you, Elodie got down to her knees and helped you clean up the water.
