The love of a King /Floxy Belle
The next day; It was late in the afternoon the next day and Mr and Mrs Harson hadn't returned. Gwen was pacing around the room while Aurora just sat down without saying anything."I wonder when aunt Christina will return, I hope she returns with mom and dad." Gwen said. "She should arrive soon." Aurora said simply. "Do you think something happened?""I don't know Gwen." Aurora said exasperatedly. Yesterday, she had a very bad feeling that something must have happened and now it seems so. The door opened and Aurora shook out of her thoughts. Gwen ran outside of the room and so did Aurora. "Aunt! Where are they?" Gwen asked. "Your aunt said they had left since yesterday afternoon and they should have returned yesterday. So right now, your parents are missing." She said with a sigh. "But they can't be missing! Do you think someone abducted them, or there was clash somewhere and they got caught up in it?" Aurora asked hurriedly. Her parents were missing! She would have never imagi

The love of a King /Floxy Belle
Gwen and Aurora arrived in the evening with no news about their parents. They found themselves to be lost. Gwen kept on ranting about what might have happened, while Aurora just kept to herself. She was busy thinking about every possibility. What could have happened and why. "Do you think it has something to do with the debt." I asked. "Possibly, but what could have happened. Could they have hurt them?""I don't know Gwen." Getting to the entrance, we saw some bags in front of the door. "Who do these belong too?" Gwen asked. We went in and saw Aunt Christiana with two bags and she dropped it on the ground. "Glad you're back. These are your bags, I need you two to leave my house." She said. "But, why? What did we do?" I asked in shock. "You girls are a threat to me. Your parents are owing people money right? They've run away, that's why we can't find them.""How did you know?" I asked. "Those people came to confront me and they told me all about it. I can't believe your parents

The love of a King /Floxy Belle
Aurora and Gwen finally got to the stop where they were hoping to get a carriage. It was already dark, so they prayed they would find one. "We've been here for about five minutes now, I don't think we'll get one." Gwen said. "If we don't then there's no way for us to get back home, unless we decide to walk." Said Aurora. After a good five minutes, Aurora finally concluded that they would have to walk. "Looks like we're walking." She said, and so, they started the long and tiring journey. Gwen kept complaining about what their aunties did to them. She was upset and so was Aurora. Aurora, at that moment believed that she shouldn't regard them to be her relatives. Though aunt Lisette gave them money, but that didn't change the fact that they both threw them out. Luckily, they heard a carriage coming behind them. It was a local transportation carriage. "What are you ladies doing out here alone?" The man who rode the carriage asked. "Our carriage broke down a few miles away and the

The next day; Aurora and her sister decided to search the village for their parents. They thoght they could find some clue that could help them. They first went to their parents shop, but as expected, no one was there. Then they searched other possible places, but they didn't find anything. "What should we do now?" Gwen asked."I don't know, we could just head back." They were approaching a sloppy path. On that same path, there was a woman who sold some coloured pieces of materials. The woman on seeing the two ladies thought she could persuade them to by an item. "Girls, would you perhaps be interested in buying some materials. They are very beautiful and I believe they will suite your taste." She said with a smile while batting her lashes. "Sorry, but we're not interested." Gwen told the woman. The smile on the woman's lips faded. But she kept on talking. "Are you sure, why don't you just take a look."I went over to the woman and took a look at the materials. It was obvious she

The love of a King /Floxy Belle
In The Kingdom of Valeria; The king of Valeria was seated on his throne with two men next to him, King Darien an arrogant and crafty man who ruled his kingdom like a prison filled with criminals. He stared at the people who were beneath him in disgust. There were six other people in the room. They were chiefs, advisors and ministers. The man in charge of the army was also there, as he had to give a report to the king. The king had an angry look on his good-looking face. He looked like he was in his late thirties. He wore a long robe that was made from the finest silk. He tapped his fingers on his throne as he boiled internally. He had rings on each of the fingers. "So they have taken over Walmer town?" He asked."Yes your highness, the soldiers have been taken captive and none of our men can get into the town." "And why is that? We have the best men in the army and not to talk of Vena kingdom is now on our side." He said with a raised eyebrow. "They have double of our men, both i

Miss Madeline was knitting a sweater when she heard a knock on her door. She wondered who it could be. She got up and went to open the door. There she saw her long time friend Martha."Martha what a suprise, please come in." She said sweetly. "Thank you Maddie, it's been a while." "Yes it has, have your sit." She went and brought some tea for the both of them. "How are things at the castle. "Terrible. It's even more worse than when the former king died." Martha said softly. "Yes, prince Edwin's death was tragic.""It indeed was, princess Ella didn't take the news well at all. She's actually just started getting over it.""It's not possible to get over it. This war as come with many losses." Said Miss Madeline."Some of the maids have already resigned because of it. They say that they prefer helping their family who really needs them. Most of their people have been displaced without having a place to live." Said Martha. "I understand. How are you coping with it?" "It's difficult.

The next day; Miss Madeline sent a letter to Martha informing her that Aurora and Gwen were interested. She figured that she would get a reply by tomorrow. But she was suprised when she heard a knock on her door and she opened up to see that it was Martha. "Martha, I wasn't expecting you until tomorrow." Miss Madeline said to her friend. "I hope you didn't think I was joking when I said I was extremely short on staff.""No, I'll call them now." She said. She went to the room where she saw the girls. "She's here, she has come to see you two." "Who Is here Miss Madeline?" Gwen asked. "My friend who I said works in the palace." She replied."Really, let's go then." Gwen said quickly and walked out. Aurora slowly trailed behind. For some reason she wasn't feeling as ecstatic as her sister. When Aurora saw the woman named Martha she was suprised. She was the guardian of the girl she helped at the market. "Good morning ma'am." They both greeted. "Good morning. I think I know you." M

The love of a King /Floxy Belle
It took at least fifteen minutes before they got to the gates of the palace. They rode in and Gwen was left in amazement. She had been here once, during the king's coronation but she didn't have time to marvel. She knew that she was only here as a maid but she was excited for some unknown reason.Meanwhile Aurora kept on fidgeting internally in her seat. For some reason unknown, to her she felt like her being here wouldn't turn out good for her. She thought she was just being paranoid because of everything that had happened. She turned to see her sister who was smiling wholeheartedly as she looked through the carriage's window. It finally stopped and Martha got down. The girls also came down but with their heads bowed. They treaded slowly behind Martha. Aurora stared at the mighty walls of the palace. There were two guards at the front entrance but they didn't go through this part, instead they headed to the back to get in.As they walked through the halls, Aurora saw some maids clean

The love of a King /Floxy Belle
When Martha told Gwen that she would be working in the kitchen, she thought it wasn't going to be difficult. But she was completely wrong. To her this part of the palace was the most stressful part she could be in. The amount of food she had to cook and the items she had to get ready overwhelmed her. The fact that she didn't know the palace well added to her misery. The head chef was unbearable and so were her co-workers. They didn't bother in guiding her and she didnt bother asking. With her chin held up high, she struggled to finish her tasks. She wondered how her sister was doing. She probably was not suffering as much as she was. She hurried up her steps as she was heading to the kitchen. Dinner would be served soon and she didn't want the head chef to make a fuss.Meanwhile, Aurora was starting to get cramps. She has been standing for two hours now. She only had a twenty minutes break every three hours. It seemed kind of cruel to her but who was she to complain. She's just a mai

The love of a King /Floxy Belle
The next day;So apparently, being a personal maid for the royal members includes waking up early to get them prepared for the day. Lisa and I got ready and we headed to Queen mother's chambers. Lisa prepared the bath while I was to pick out her clothes. I found myslef at crossroads. I didn't know anything about dressing up. 'How will I choose her clothes now?' I decided to choose a random dress and shoes I thought would fit. It took about an hour to get her ready and I realised she wasn't that picky. I put all of these in mind.When I was done, I went to princess Ella's room. I knocked on her door but she didn't answer. "Princess Ella, it's me." I knocked a few more times until she responded. "Come in.""Good morning princess Ella." I said with a bow.She yawned. "Good morning Aurora." I almost laughed when I saw her. Her hair was a total mess and so was her bed."I'm here to get you ready. Shall I prepare your bath?"She gave a confused look. "Ok, but do you know how to?""I believe
