Merida instructed me on what to do, she gave me lots of clothes to wash and bed sheets, "clean up the garden first before you start washing the clothes, I'm going to have prepare her highness for the coronation" she said and left in a hurry, bianca and her mother and brother are being coronated today and I wasn't able to attend, not that I also wanted to attend the stupid coronation or something, I'm just pained that my mother's position and brothers would be given to those wicked people, but I can't do anything in this any more.
I picked up the sweeper and started sweeping the garden surroundings, I did it gently and quietly, but I wasn't slow either, I didn't eat dinner last night I can't miss breakfast, I was so carried away with sweeping that I bumped myself into a wall, it was so hard, I looked up and my jaw dropped, it wasn't a wall it was bianca's brother Lucas, I swallowed a lump, "I i- I am sorry y-our -highness" I was stuttering my lips were shaking, I wasn't so close to Lucas because he always carried this devilish aura around him always.
He didn't say anything and went his way, his aura was creepy to me tho but I shrugged it off my heart, I finished sweeping quickly and went to had breakfast, I was hearing some gossip within the slaves "so bianca would be the next crowned princess, I heard she took Fiona's groom" she giggled excitedly to be honest I also was enjoying this gossip "I heard they do all different kind of things, that's forbidden before marriage" one said, I was chuckling within myself, because it wasn't a lie, even I was a saw of what they we're saying.
I quickly rushed back to bianca's room, and it was silent, so I picked up the clothes and rushed to the washing area, I had to finish washing before bianca comes back to her chamber, I got to the washing area and saw the other slaves there that are working for the royals, and I think ive seen some of them in our cells, they had scars all over their body with thorn clothes, I haven't got beaten or tortured by the angry, and I hoped that didn't happen to me anytime soon, I would just die because of weakness.
I was washing the clothes quietly without discussing with anyone, they were all keeping distance From me, and I enjoyed my peace, everyone has left and I was alone in the washing area, I'm already getting used to this, my hands aren't so sore again, phew! I was finally done, I stood up all my leg muscles were painful so I stood there for a while, since I still had time and I'm very sure bianca would still be at the party flaunting herself, I was so hungry but I'm still not yet attached to liking the kind of food we eat here.
I was tired it was already evening so I decided to started heading back, I folded the already dried clothes back into the laundry basket and carried it, then I started moving back to bianca's chamber so I could retire for the day, it was quit silent here, since most of the people are gathered in the ball room for the coronation, I barely saw anyone passing by the washing area, suddenly a hand grabbed me from behind and wrapped the sturdy hands around my waist, I opened my mouth shocked I turned back immediately and my eyes fell on my worst enemy.
Alex!! "Leave me alone what are you doing, do you want me killed now" I pushed him away with my strength and he landed a bit far away from me "Fiona I missed you baby" I opened my mouth shocked "I still want you Fiona you can be my mistress" he said breathing on my neck coming closer, I hated his touch "oh really your highness, mistress, I can't I'm sorry now if you would please excuse me I have somewhere to be" I said pissed, I can't believe he would think so low.
As I was about to go he yanked my hand, and the clothes hot soiled, I opened my mouth in shock not because of the way he yanked my hand but because of the clothes now I know truly that I was going tp get killed right there by bianca "why would u do this to me Alex!, what am I going to tell the her highness now" I said shouting at the top of my lungs I wanted to kick him at that time but I restrained myself remembering I'm still a slave, he smirked and said "come into my arm willingly or you regret"
I sneered "in your dreams Alex, in your damn dreams am I ever going to ever come back into those dirty arms of yours" I spat on the floor, picked up the clothes and left quickly, I am doomed now, what would I tell Bianca, she sure gonna kill me, I cursed Alex in my mind, my heart was beating loudly and i was already thinking about the toture I would go through already, I was scared really scared, i stood in front of the door for like minutes lost in thought when someone tapped my shoulder and I jumped immediately, I looked back and saw Merida, "what are you waiting for outside! Go inside" she instructed I heaved a breath and opened the door, bianca was already in and Alex followed in almost immediately, I realized I am in deep trouble, " so where are my clothes" she said looking sternly, " I-- I -- it fell on the floor, when I tripped and fell, I will wash it now please I'm so sorry" I said stuttering and shaking "bring me the whip!" Bianca yelled and it kept ringing in my ears in a reprative way.
