I stood at the door to my room, staring at it for the last time. Well today is the D-day were I gat to go to the castle, I can't wait to be there ' note the scarsam' I carried my small bag were I packed the little things I was going to need over there, closing my door before heading downstairs to were my mum and my neighbours were waiting for me, As I came in view I saw my mum and some of the neibour at our living room, I was really suprise that they came to wish me goodbye since I hardly associate with them. At the sound of my footsteps, my mum turn to me, give I me one of those her energetic smile.
"Oh! My!!darling look at you, you look beautiful and all grown up now" she said walking to me, as I stare at her in shock at her outburst " oh baby, it was like yesterday when you were still my little girl who wouldn't leave my side, now look at you today going away, am so proud of you"she said gushing at me and going on and on about how big and beautiful I have gotten, like I haven't been with her m to whole life .
I rolled my eyes discreetly at her for being so dramatic before walking pass her to greet some of our neighbours who came to say goodbye.
Then I head to the door since there was a car waiting for me there, but my mum stop me.
" Honey" she called out to me in a hush tune" I know this might not be one of the best thing happening to you, but I want you to be yourself and since I won't be there with you, please do stand up for yourself don't let any body look down on you darling" she said to me as I nodded king into her embrace.
" Mum am gonna miss you but I will be at my best behaviour and make you proud for the short while that I will be there" I whispered to her as I move out of her embrace using my hands to wipe off the tears that was falling on her cheeks, I cleaned my own tears before heading outside to the driver that was already stationed to get me to the airport.
He walk over to me collecting my bag from him as he lead me to the car, opening the door for me to get in while he went to keep my bag in the boot before going to take his seat at the drivers seat.
I took a deep breath,blinking in the surge of tears pooling around my eyes as I try to fan my face with my hands but as the car started moving I saw my mom waving at me in tears and all my composure went down the drain as I broke down in tears,the tears pooling down generously on my check as I wave back at her while I used my other hands to clean my tears.
*************************
We were already at the airport. I open the door before the driver could come open it for me, since I really hate it when people do things for me.
I got out of the car as I took in a fresh breath, while the man walks up to me with my bag in his hand, gesturing for me to follow him while he address me.
" Am sorry ma'am, you won't be using the private section since it was not part of the plan and it was kind of a last minute thing so we booked a commercial flight for you but I can ensure you that you would be comfortable" He said to me as he lead me inside the airport.
I sigh at his words, like I care about about private on non private flight, this would be my first time to be on a plane and I am so delighted, who cares if it is commercial, I gasp in awe as I stare at how the airport and planes were so big and beautiful.
He ask me to go take a sit while he went to the counter to submit some things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After sometime we where able to get on the plane and being on a plane for the first time was so fascinating to me.
*****************
We were already off the flight, there were just two people waiting for us.
I was made to understand they since I was the only one coming and the other girls already made their entrance, the people won't be able to welcome me since they were not aware of my coming.
I sigh in relieve since I didn't really like being the center of attraction. We headed to the limo waiting for us, as we got in heading to the castle. Where I will be for some time.
We got to the palace after passing through a long line of security procedure at the gate. The drive got down immediately and ran toward my side opening the door for me. I got out and whispered a thank you to him before taking in the sight before me in awe. The building were very magnificent but the one that caught my attention was the middle one, it stood tall among the other mansion and it was absolutely stunning. It was literally made of glass and words could'nt decribe how beautiful it is, the other building around it were also good looking but right now I am so inlove with my glass mansion. I was still staring in awe with my mouth wide open until I heard a low chuckle from behind me causing me to stumble back to reality, I looked behind me from where the sound came from only to find ayoung man of about his late twenty's staring at me with I smile on his face,I thought he looked familiar as I looked at him trying to remember were I knew him from, I face pal
I was just lying down on the soft mattress enjoying the peaceful serenity of the room before I heard a faint knock on the door. "Come in" I said as the door handle was twisted and three ladies walked in,each having a smile on their face. "Good day ma'am, I am Sarah, this is Lana and that is maggie" the first one said to me gesturing to the others as she introduced them to me" we are your handmaids ma" " I looked at the girls, they were very beautiful, the first who had spoken was a little bit taller than the others and she was slender with her brunnetye hair packed into a neat ponytail, while the other one beside her stood rigid with a very tight smile, she was full and had all her curves in the right places, her finger hair was cut short giving her a bad girl sort of look and the last stood timidly behind them,she had a light brown hair with a little freckles on her face, her hair was made into two ponytail and she look so i
Third Person POV It was dawn and the sound of workers bustling outside could be heard as they walk about preparing for the day. Rosy's door flinged open as the girls made their way inside. Lana scoff immediately she noticed that Rosy was still sleeping, she went straight to the window and opened the curtain while Sarah made her way to rosy's bed shuffling her blanket away from her body and tapping her to wake up. " Rise and shine sweetheart,it morning already" she said as she continue shaking her. Rosy stretched out her arm and let out a loud yawn. "Good grief,is it morning already?" She grumbled as she used her pillow to cover her face but Lana wasn't having it,she walk up to her side grabbing the pillow and pulling her out of the bed letting her land on the floor with a loud thump. " My world! Are you planning to kill me?" She exclaimed as she got up from the floor and sat on her bed throwing acc
"Hmm.... Who is Madison?"she asked curiously. " Oh! I forget you don't really know them by their names, but don't worry I will keep you inform"the girl chipped in excitedly. " Over there" she said signaling her head toward the blonde girl, who was mean to Rosy"Is Madison she is sort of like the queen bee here,there at the fountain is Tara, the other girl who insulted you she doesn't really get along with Madison, so i was quite suprise they were agreeing on something together which was insulting you"the girl said as she took a once over look at me " now that I get to look at you closely, I think they are insecure" she said. Rosy scoff as she stared at the said girls, Madison was indeed very beautiful and she looks like one of those ladies on a magazine while the other girl had a thick black hair with hazel eyes, her well chiseled face complemented her beauty" What could possible make them insecure about me?is not like am half as pre
Rosy walk ahead with Billy who came to escort her to the castle, her hand were in is arms as they headed to the castle together, some of the girls had gone already, each were also escorted. While she could see others ahead of them heading toward the castle with their escort. She was nervous and a little bit giddy, she was giddy because she would have the opportunity to look at the interior of the castle. They walk hand in hand till they got to the castle were the large door was wide open with two guarda standing in each end as various people troop in. Billy let go of her hand, as he fix is suit. He had worn a very formal attire with is sandy brown hair curled to the back, he was fairly an handsome young man, average in height. He had a naturally friendly look on is face which makes him more attractive especially with his almost permanent grin. " Princess? Are you done checking me out"he joked. Rosy face flushed in embarrassment bowing her head to hide
" Introducing his Royal Majesty, king Lucien" The king strode toward the throne with an expressionless look on his face. Rosy was far too suprise by his looks as he came into limelight where they could get a full glimpse of him. He was devastatingly handsome and far from what Rosy had expected, he was not old but rather in his early thirty's. His jaw was set straight as he continue walking forward not even acknowledging the servant who bowed at him. Maria who had been seated right beside Rosy gasp in shock as she stared at the king in awe too. Rosy was not suprise by her reaction as she herself would have done the same thing if she hadn't comport herself immediately. He was a great definition of a Greek god, he had no Royal attire not even jewelries on except for a cloak which could have cost fortune for common people like her. He was so musculine, his thick dark hair were scattered over his head like he hadn't gotten the chance to let the servant prepare him for the b
The king stilled for a moment then glance at her, as his eyes fell on her hands which was stretch forward, he looked at her for a second before his attention went back to the people performing as he stared at them boredly totally ignoring the lady in front of him. Tara went red with embarrassment almost tearing up, she cleared her throat and put on a bold look, she the move her hands to her dress adjusting it again, making sure her boobs pop out even more losing only her nipples before she stretch out her hands again. " You... your majesty..." The king glare made her kept shut as he snap his head toward her obviously annoyed, but it was either she didn't notice his annoyance or she decided to ignore it as she looked at him sending him a flirterous smile and winking at him " your majesty dance with me am going to make you feel better tonight" she said smiling boldly The king stared at her expressionlessly before glancing at the guards close to him, at his star
The performance continued as other girls were called out , some decided to dance, sing while others did nothing but disgrace themselves.The king stood up abruptly from his throne looking so cold and angry, he glance at Maria's father his right hand man, he nodded at him and started walking out. at that his right hand man ran toward him whispering to him. it was obvious he that he was trying to persuade the king to stay, but the king totally ignored him and walk out.the man stood at the door where the king disappeared to,he was lost of words but he quickly regain himself.he cleared his throat to gain the audience attention as he stood close to were the king was supposed to be seated " ladies, the king deeply apologize for not being able to stay awhile longer to watch all of your performance, he had to retire to bed as he was really stress out" he said with a sigh" but he assure you that there would be a next time and he will definitely wait to watch all

" Maddie! are ok?" she she cried out as she saw red liquid gushing out from Maddie's stomach " on my world what do I do,what do I do" she said trying to life Maddie up to check for other wounds as Maddie grunt in pain. "oh!! ma'am how could you?!!"a maid scream out upon seeing the scene " what the fuck is how could you? get help damn it" Rosy snapped as the place started getting crowded, the other girls gasp at the scene as they made way for the mistress as she came through with Felicity.

"she did it" a maid said pointing at Rosy" she pushed ma'am Maddie of the stairs, I saw them arguing before she pushed her angryly" the maid accused. the other girls and the maid stare at her in shock while others throws her accusing look " what the hell is this one even saying" Rosy snapped confuse " we never argued and she fell of
The palace elders sat together discussing on the possibility of which girl ought to go on the date with the king. "I don't think there is any need discussing who should be picked when we know the obvious" the elder who complimented Rosy during their first task spoke out. " And who do you think will be that" Elizabeth mother answered through gritted teeth. " of course the girl with the best decision Rosy,she obviously got the king's attention, I see no reason why we are here again" he answered sternly " Nonsense, absolutely rubbish you expect us to make that peasant walk in the same place as the king? thinking about it alone makes me want to puke" Elizabeth mother snapped. "Yes exactly my thought, she should have never been here in the first place" an elder agreed "Exactly, we need to find a way to kick her out "one of Madison uncle interjected " Just say you feel threatened that your daughters and niece's place will be taken by the girl with nobody" elder Norwel ( the el

" You go gi..rrrl! so what do you plan on doing" Tessa inquired as they were back from the meeting and were all sitting in the garden. " I can't tell you out in the open" Madison said with a sly smirk" come closer girls" she beckoned them forward and started whispering to them. " I know it a brilliant idea but don't you think it's too dangerous? how about of you get caught" Felicity asked.

"Hi Rosy, come sit here" Madison said immediately Rosy made her way to the dinning where the girls usually ate their breakfast " I kept this seat for you" she said pulling out a chair beside her and sending her a brilliant smile.Rosy stopped halfway to her seat were she usually sit-down with Maria,she look at Madison and sigh, she couldn't possibly say no to her so she nodded with a smile. Maria scoff "don't tell me you are going to sit down with her" she said" but I can't possibly say no to her" Rosy replied" so what about me? we always say down together"Maria asked" don't worry it just for today I....I"" you know what?" Maria asked cutting of he stuttering" do what you want, I have been doing fine without you..since you refuse to take caution" she hissed and set her self properly on her seat totally ignoring her.Rosy sigh and walked towards Madison thinking that she would make it
" what do you plan on doing, Madison? it Friday evening already and tomorrow the winner is going to be anounce" Tess asked.the days had already gone by and everything had fallen in it place, it was as if they never met the king, except for Madison constant nagging. " nothing, I am gonna act in one day to the final day... but first thing first, let go visit our new friend" she said with a smirk " who" Karen asked curiously" just come with me guys and stop asking" she said and walk away leaving them to follow behind her. they walk quietly until there started noticing the familiar hallway.

Madison answered before Karen who look shock could complete whatever she has to say, they got to the door and Madison knocked on it.after few minutes the door was swing opened revealing Sarah who had a shocked expression on her face. " ma'....ma'am...." sh
"how did she even know were I came from?" I asked no one in particular since Maria and my handmaids were in my room with me. we were going about what had happened today, after we had rested and eaten. " I am not suprise, we all know you are a commoner, but I think the lady of the highcourt as done a background check on you" Maria answered dismissively. " But why" I asked again" maybe you pose as a treat to what she as plan for her daughter, so better be careful around her" Lana replied." some people can be so dramatic, how would I pose as a treat to her beautiful daughter who as all things" I said" all things like what" Sarah asked" she got brains, beauty, riches and many more, what do I have compared to her?" I askedLana clicked her tongue" you don't even know what you have" she said " my dear tell her. everything you mentioned, you got it" added Sarah" you've got brain
we sat down in what seems like a court room as we were done eating and Maria's father had see to it that we got here without being lost on our way, since the place is so big. the place could be pass as a court room but it is not I guess, cause it was a bit fancier and it look so lady like, even the throne seat, looks like a seat for a lady. the king was seated in an expensive seats, steps away from the throne on the steps, which made him closer to us. " shall we begin" he said as he had gone back to is usual cold deamnor. Maria father walk forward immediately with Mr Ronald closely behind him, he took his place behind the king as Mr Ronald brought out a scroll." this scroll contains your name in accordance to our you were brought here,so please listen attentively" he said and proceed to the first name. they lady came out but I don't seem to know her maybe because she is part of the other ten staying in the other mansion, she gave her decision and we
we were woken up a bit early since we were suppose to have dinner with the king himself and we have to get to the castle to do so. I freshen up and got dress with the help of my friends, Sarah dressed me while Alana made my hair. they were trying to make me exceptionally beautiful since it will be the first official meeting with the king unlike the day of the banquet. Alana tried to cake up my face again but I instructed firmly I will go with my natural look, she grumbled in frustration but still have in to my wish. I was already, they wish me goodluck as I was escorted by my guard Maria's room since she was yet to come to my place. I knocked on her door and one of her handmaid open the door for me, she smiled at me and ushered me inside, I walk inside taking my seat as she gestured for me to do so, informing me that Maria would soon be out of her closet.I gasp as I got a glimpse of Maria coming out from her closet with her other handmaids "woah!! you loo
