Changes

“yeah Eleanor, be cool. Soon we’ll be happily married forever.” he placed his hand on hers, giving her a charming smile. She returned a fake one and went back to eating.

“mom, the ambassador is coming tomorrow to discuss some new tariffs the neighboring kingdoms are about to pass,” he announced. Eleanor smiled. Rick would be here tomorrow and she can get dirty with him.

“Tell him not to be too late.” Maria joked. They finished lunch and exited the dining hall.

Elaine was busy crying in the maids’ quarter while all the other maids except Ruby tried to console her.

“look at me, I’m a mess!!” she cried. Ruby rolled her eyes and scoffed which attracted her attention,

“excuse me, but did I hear a scoff!” Ruby looked bored out of her soul,

“I’m talking to someone!!” Elaine shouted. Ruby gave another scoff,

“Why don’t you learn how to cook instead of blaming the prince.” Elaine was offended.

“All you can do is blab nonsense with that tap mouth of yours.” with that, she exited the quarters. Ruby was more or less a bad-ass girl after Arianna’s exile. She felt there was no need to be happy and always gave everyone, except Adrian a cold shoulder. Even Rob. Ruby was extremely gorgeous. Her red hair flowed like magic and her lips looked very tasty to every man she came across.

She had D-cupped breasts and a very slim waist. Her hips were very appealing to the eyes of men. She was just so irresistible.

She walked down the hallway, going to Adrian’s room to have a little business with him. She’s missed Arianna so much, sometimes she just spaces out thinking of all the fun times they’ve had. She sighed, she wanted her sister back. She was all she had. But they took her away. After her parents died, she came to the castle to work as a maid to earn a living. After a week of working, she met Arianna.

Flashback…..

Ruby cleaned the dining table with a damp napkin. Working in the castle wasn’t so easy and it wasn’t hard either. It was just tiring. She was still kind of a newbie and didn’t talk to anyone except asked a question.

She was a lone wolf.

“there, I’m done.” she turned to leave but stopped immediately after she heard voices. She wondered who it could be. Not long, she saw the prince talking to a girl as they walked into the dining hall.

“This is the dining hall and it needs a little cleaning. You up to it?” he asked smiling,

“yes sir!” she saluted somewhat playfully and seriously. Ruby giggled. It was something she hasn’t done in a long while, and it felt new to her.

Rob chuckled, “you two get along.” with that, he exited the dining hall. Arianna got a broom and sang

“boy toy named Troy used to live in Detroit. Big dope dealer money, he was getting some coins. Was in-”

“shootouts with the law but he lives in a palace. Bought me Alexander Mc queen, he was keeping me stylish.” Ruby smiled. She loved that song.

“you know it too?” Arianna giggled. Ruby smiled,

“it’s one of my favorite songs.” she looked at Arianna who was doing a sheepish grin. “what’s your name?” Arianna laughed,

“Arianna.”

“Ruby.” they shook hands. Arianna grinned,

“like a Ruby gemstone?” Ruby giggled,

“yes. A gemstone.”

Flashback over…..

Tears fell from her eyes. Arianna was her family. She cleaned the tears and put on a straight face before entering Adrian’s room. He was on his bed, reading a book. She walked over to him. She cocked her head a little, grabbed his book, and threw it across the room.

“Ruby!! Why did you do that?!” Adrian, a bit surprised, demanded an answer. Ruby climbed on top of him,

“you know what I want?” her finger ran from his forehead to his lips, giving him a cute and sexy face.

Adrian smirked. He rolled and now he was on top of her, “can’t you wait till night time?” she pouted,

“no!” sounding as adorable as ever. Adrian leaned in to kiss her neck, receiving a moan from her. He trailed kisses from her neck to her lips, biting and sucking them. Their tongues wrestled against each other, giving love as they did. He took her tongue in his mouth and teased it. She moaned in his mouth, obviously loving what he was doing.

As they kissed, his hands went under her and pulled the zip of her maid outfit. He lovingly caressed her back. She rolled over and pulled off his top. She ran hands down from his chest to his abdomen, stopping at his

pants.

“what’s wrong Ruby?” Adrian wondered why she stopped. It was very unusual of her. Her heart dampened, the thought of Arianna made her sad. That’s why she stopped.

“let me guess, it’s Arianna?” Ruby simply nodded. Adrian pulled her into an embrace,

“I know. I miss her too.” Adrian admitted. Ruby looked at him with sad eyes,

“do you think she’ll ever come back Adrian?” her voice pierced his heart,

“I don’t know Ruby. I don’t know.” he hugged her tighter. Everyone missed Arianna. But no one knew where she was. Maybe she wasn’t dead. Or maybe she was. Who knew? But the question that lingered in his mind was why Arianna tried to kill Rob. It just didn’t make any sense. He looked at his love, he wished he could make her happy. But the only way to do that was to bring Arianna back.

It was already night time and Diana was dragging Rava by the tail to take a bath.

“girl stop being stubborn!!! You need a bath! You smell horrible!!” Rava never liked baths. She just licked herself to keep clean. Diana didn’t like it one bit, she didn’t even lick everywhere, just her legs. Rava held on to the tree while Diana pulled her. There was a spring near their home, it was hidden by some vines, which was behind the massive tree Rava was holding on to. Diana pulled harder and Rava's paws slipped off the bark of the tree, leaving scratches on it. Diana pulled her past the vines and near the stream. Rava growled at the sight of water which made Diana smirk. She flung Rava into the spring.

She landed with a loud splash and after some seconds she surfaced up, growling. She was all wet and her fur draped on her body. She swam to the edge and climbed out of the spring. Diana’s grin grew wider,

“How was the bath?” Rava shot a glare at her and shook the water off her and on Diana.

Diana blew raspberries at her, laughing afterward. She took off her clothes, preparing for her own bath. The moon shone its light on her glorious body, she walked closer to the edge. The spring was really beautiful tonight. The moon and stars were out, shining their light on the water, making it glitter. No trees stopped the moon from giving its light to the spring. There was a little waterfall not far ahead. The fireflies danced everywhere, spreading beautiful lights as they did. The scene was really beautiful. She looked down, at her reflection.

She had really changed, she looked so different. She looked more like her dad now. Thoughts of him flooded her mind. She missed her dad more than anything. A tear fell into the water, sending ripples across it.

She smiled at herself, more tears fell until Rava took her by surprise and pushed her into the spring. She surfaced up and saw Rava laughed at her. The tigress was something else. Diana dived into the water, leaving Rava puzzled. She then surfaced up and pulled Rava by the head into the water.

She laughs and swims away. Rava swims after her, while Diana splashes water at her. They get into a water fight not long after. Diana laughs,

“Okay girl, you win!” she swims back to the edge and Rava follows her. She licks her sister and roars,

“now?! But I want to play now.” Rava coos at her sister, giving her puppy eyes. Diana sighs,

“fine, go to bed, I'll be there in a while.” she pouts.

Dian thought of Rob. Her thoughts going to the memories they shared, to his smile and his laugh, to his words, and also to the very day he ordered her execution.

Her face crunches up at the bare thought of the smug grin Eleanor had on her face, she would definitely get back at her for everything she did to her.

Now back to him. She imagined her in his arms pouring a heart-felt apology, then taking her to his bedroom to make it up to her. He placed kisses on her neck, trailing it down to her navel earning soft sounds from her.
