Character 3

"Thief! Someone is eating the highness food!" A squeal voice came from behind Taika almost her drop her food.

Taika slowly turned her body towards the person who had had such a Pinocchio voice tone, her vision was already visualize a fat cubby woman but was surprised to see a tiny woman with squid like face and big black spot on her long crooky nose. She looked like a Pinocchio but in a feminine way.

" Who are you! How did you enter the palace beggar?!"  The woman raised her high pitched like Pinocchio voice as she walked towards Taika moving her stick shape hips side to side.

  Taika really wanted to placed both of her hands on her ears, they were beginning to ache due to the lady voice_ " How dare you call me a beggar! Do you know who am I!" The moment Taika mention does words blood drain from the head maid face as she kneel down asking for forgiveness.

" First miss! Am sorry for not being able to recognize you! Would you love to have some honey pancakes!..."

Taika had a smug look as she stared at the maids dress in envy, it was much better, cleaner and styles unlike her's that looked like a mental person hand-me-down.

" Pang!"_ The hit made Taika saw stars. " Am talking to you beggar and you dare space out! Security! Security! We got a trespasser in here... " Taika hatefully glare at huge huge cooking spoon that was used to hit her head. " It wasn't like it was a crime to have a nice imaginary dream in such a bad day..". If only it was real she is really craving for honey pancakes but first she has to find a way to live the kitchen without anymore drama.  

Taika was still trying to to calm the angry maid when a group of anger people suddenly rushed into the room with odd weapons.

  Taika didn't know why but the people didn't give her a good feeling even due they were not even security but a bunch of maids which eyes glinting red.

"Seamstress! Did you say someone just ate the highness food!"

" Bring that person out! And let me use my pot to teach that person a good lesson!"

" Who didn't like his life that made that bas***d dare eat the highness food...!?"

" Where is that person, let me teach him a good lesson...!"

  The commotion continue among the maids was enough for Taika to slip away quietly. Taika didn't know who hell is that highness or why the maids were angry about the food and not for trespassing!, all she know is she has to escape for these angry mama's before it's too late.

  Looked like our MC have a pretty sliver tongue but had a weak and unfit body. Do you think that she would be able to escape without being noticed?! After all the General kitchen had only a door and a lot of windows.

" Give way! The crown prince is coming!"

" All you commoners! Bow to the royal bloodline!

The crowded and noisy street suddenly became quite like a cemetery, the people stop what ever they were doing and people in the street parts ways  giving a road as they all bow with their faces on the bare ground.

A group of horses riding by warriors whose blooded aura can't be hiding, they were wearing thick armor's and long heavy swords or axe or their bows of poisonous arrows by their side which was designed with a leopard pattern. The leopard pattern the symbol of an imperial army's of the kingdom.

   The warriors has their guards up and was prepared for any sneaking attack for the kneeling crowd of commoners, aa expensive and well decorated carriage could been seen in the midst of the army's as they walked on the straight part towards their destination.

" Drop me at my uncle's house! And report to my father,  I would be staying at my uncle's place for a while.... " A cold icy voice came as a command from the carriage as the warriors switch direction towards the General mansion.

The moment the imperial army's has left the street , the commoners stoop on their feet and continue their duties with a new gossip in their mouths.

*****************

( General mansion)

" Mother! Why is that burden still alive!?...." A girl with straight soaking blonde hair and big grey eyes her face had a lot of baby fat, she could be said to be at the age of '13' but she eyes were blazing with anger.

 

" Woman! Are you deaf or what! Why are she still alive!?". Despite the girl was young, her mouth were shooting out words  children at her age shouldn't been saying towards the middle age woman that was walking in back and front speed in the room.

Lady Becky wasn't angry at her daughter outburst after all she too wonder how that woman child could survive the strong poison in her body_" Lily dear! Don't be angry, don't you know the consequences if your someone's find you with such and outburst!— Will just get rid of the person, mama..."

   Becky sighted as she took her daughter hands " What if that person happened to be your father! Lily! You don't expect me to kept reminding you, what I have to do for you to have this life... So don't you dare do anything reckless or you would regret it" Suddenly there was a light knock on the door as a maid walked into the room and knelt down with her face on the floor.

" Lady Becky and second young miss, Master is calling you both to the courtyards..."

Both Becky and her daughter expression was ugly at the mention of ' second young miss" but they have to keep their cool after all there would only be one miss in the house and it would be Lily and no one else....

******************

—————————

  " *Sire*_ have already pass the invitation to Lady Becky and second young miss and they're on their way here... Do you have anything request you love to ask this servant?" The kneeling maids asked as she tried to take a peek at her master's expression but didn't made it obvious or she would lose her head.

Adam sighted as he dismiss the maids " Are you saying that you didn't find my daughter in her room?!"  One would think that he was referring to the second young miss but he wasn't.

First guard: ( Wow! Master! You were the same person calling her a bastard in the present of Lady Becky and now she your daughter. What a noble man!)

" Yes! * Sire* the first miss wasn't in her room when we got there." The other guard answer his boss as he kicked his buddy to reality.

  Adam face but still emotionless but one could see the worried his eyes held_" Find her and take her to another room, Do—" His speech was interpreted by the another guards who just ran into the courtroom without permission.

" Forgive my rudeness * sire* I would gladly receive my punishment ! *sire* the royal Highness as arrived at your humble home!"

  Ada suddenly got up with a panic expression on his face  "Quickly! Find that stupid girl and lock her up! Quickly find her!"...

Each guards was stunned ( Wasn't their master supposed to be worried about how he would how he was going to entertain his nephew.) Nor of the guards said anything as they left the courtroom in search of the first miss.

 

  Adam was panicking, emotionless expression was broken and has faded like dust in the wind. Different thought filled his mind as he did even hear the butler announcing the presence of Miss Becky and her daughter.

  

Everything happened to fast for him as he found himself calling his Lady Becky his Annabel.

The room became very tense as the face of Becky became twisted but she quickly hide her expression_ " You haven't forgotten about her! My Lord! I too missed her, she was like a sister to me"... Lady Becky quickly squeeze out some tears as she stared at her husband with her eyes red.

  Adam felt some quilty as he hug his wife closer to himself, he was quilty for making his lady cry and remembering her of her friend who lied against her_" Don't waste your precious tears! My child how are you feeling now?!" Adam asked the pale faced Lily who was currently  watching her mother performance.

   Lily placed her hands on forehead like her was a little dizzy as she hug her dad_" Am just a little dizzy , nothing else Pa!"

The happy family aura lasted for a little while before Adam push Lady Becky and Lily away from himself a little too hard, his face is again emotionless an his eyes held no gentleness " Ladies get dress! The royal highness it visiting us today!".

Bailey: " That was weird..." Bailey had been watching the whole drama and find the behavior of Adam very suspicious, and not only that a lot of things are suspicious in the mansion. His glaze was fixed on Lady Becky for a moment before he decided to give his host his findings.
