Well. Here I'm stuck with a mute knight who isn't even telling me his name. And I have an half eaten apple in my hand. Great, just great willow. And what the hell name did you tell him? AGATHA? seriously? Not so proud of my extrovert self it seems. It's the next day, the maids seem to not suspect me thinking I'm the new maid chosen by the queen. That's an achievement now.
I was sleeping on the matt with the other maids. When I heard footsteps, I look up and saw... MATILDA?... goddamn this bomb will get me caught badly some day. My eyes widen, i instantly stand up causing one of the maids beside me to wake up. I excuse myself saying I'm going to the bathroom. I walk out the room. Looking at Matilda with suprise but softness. I hug her.
"Its all gone right, Matt. The only problem is..."
"Oh tell me who's neck I need to crack-"
"No no no. No neck or bone cracking or sucking anyone bloody dry. That knight, remember? He didn't speak, not even his name. All he said was that he doesn't speak to anyone except the king. What tf?"
"Oh does the king like this knight or what? Jealousy?"
"Shut up, Matt. He's pretty happy with his queen... I guess. They have 3 children anyways. But, I'm focused on that handsome oldest blonde one on the horse remember?"
"OH YES!-"
"SHH-!"
"sorry... I got a little excited thinking about him. I wanna go to his room and kiss his pretty little nose, he must be delicious don't you think?"
"No, Matt. You will go straight to home after this. Got it? And don't let anyone notice my absence. It'll be kind of a mess then."
"Got it, m'lady."
"Thank you so much, Matt." I hug her because... It may take a long time to hug her like this again. I'm stuck here now, and i don't have any of the powder. Thanks to Matilda's speed she whooshed in without anyone noticing. I let her whoosh out again. I hope she doesn't get caught or anything. Then i quickly go back inside.
NEXT DAY:
Its the next day for me. Serving and cleaning is a goddamn headache, the youngest one, princess Victoria is being a snarky picky bitch. The oldest one is ruthless and evil, planning someone's assassination. The middle one is... Quiet. His name is... I don't know, something from A. Stupid, he's pretty cute though. Maybe when I kill everyone in the castle, I'll leave him.
I was setting the plates, when Victoria smashes all of them to the ground. I gasp, looking at her in shock and confusion. She just laughs and walks off to complain to her mom, the queen that I did that.
When the queen came, i stood silent. Didn't dare to look into her disgusting eyes. They were filled with hatred, reminded me of my mother. I can't live that moment ever again, even if it means to be scared or cry. She called me a curse infront of everyone, the whole village. And because of that I'm now living alone in this cottage. Atleast i have Matilda, but she isn't with me right now. Sad. I flinch when the queen raised her voice. But... She didn't only raise her voice. Someone... A knight almost raised his sword like he'll protect me... I look up to see who it is. Oh, that mute one. Being all protective now aren't we? Maybe feeling guilty now that I tried to talk and you were being rude and not even replying eh?
Thank god the queen stopped blabbering and didn't notice. I started to pick up the plates, not even caring if one cut me. I was numb, since childhood. Hearing these words, I'm deaf to them now. And they're dead to me. My ears and these words had a deal of somehow to not even speak to each other. Good.
I look up, my face expressionless as I look at that knight. Goddamn he didn't even tell me his name. A sweet maid approached. I was gonna snap at her like a rabied dog but hearing her voice calmed me down.
"Shall I treat your wound darling? Don't mind the queen. She might be harsh sometimes, she just loves princess Victoria too much to see her mistakes. Happens to me too."
The way she gently took my hand, leading me to the room we all stay in. I sit down... Is this how being treated nice feels like? Then I'll listen to those tantrums daily, do this daily just to be treated nice for once... In my life.
For once. I want to be a human, not a cursed witch... But these petty people don't give me a choice. Is that my fault now too?
