Daily Life At The Castle

“I’m coming!!!!!” she stirred as fast as she could and put the food on a golden plate, which was then placed on a tray. Arianna walked as fast as she could, her heels clicked quickly on the polished, wooden floor, she made it just in time and handed the tray to her best friend, Ruby. Ruby dropped the tray on the elongated dining table, and both waited for his majesty to come down from his chamber.

As he came down, he greeted his two most favorite maids and dismissed them. The two rushed back into the kitchen, they looked around and when no one was coming, they high fived each other, laughing

“We made it!” Ruby exclaimed “for once I thought we were screwed!” she brushed her red locks away from her face.

“oh Ruby, Ruby, Ruby,” Arianna sing-sang, waving her finger “my plans are always full proof. They simply cannot just fail!!” she laughed triumphantly with her hands on her hips. Ruby just smirked at her sister’s childish behavior. Although the same age, Arianna tends to act a bit childish and immature. She’s such a drama queen.

Arianna dragged Ruby all the way to the maid’s quarters. Ruby knew exactly what this meant. She was hungry. Breakfast is Arianna’s favorite meal of the day, she could not resist scrambled eggs with crispbread, toasted to perfection, accompanied with her favorite drink, pineapple juice. she ate like a monster, not bothered by the other maids' disgusted face. She stacked her bread with eggs slipped within them, and once it was tall enough, she first spread her napkin on her lap like a lady would do, then dugs her fingers and took a massive bite as a ferocious beast would do.

Pieces fell from her mouth but she caught them and put them back in her already filled mouth. After five seconds of chewing, she swallowed and the food sat like a rock in her tummy, she then grabbed the jug and started pouring juice into her mouth, some spilling on her dress.

And when that was done, she let out a manly burp which echoed round the walls of the palace. She sank in her seat, full. She wiped her mouth with her wrist and looked at her fellow maids,

“what!?” she asked unaware of what she had done. She looked over to her sister, who was hysterically laughing,

"Arian, you’re scaring them.” she burst into a more uncontrollable laugh.

“ oh….” Arianna thought for a while but then burst into a fit of laughter. Ruby was laughing so hard, tears rolled down her cheeks, and Arianna was not far behind. They held each other for support from their seat. The other maids felt irritated by their tomboyish behavior, they left agitated, not touching their breakfast. It had been spoilt by Arianna.

Next day……

The sun rose in its glorious light, and its rays penetrated the room of Arianna. Who was still asleep. The alarm repeatedly sang to the sleeping girl, but she wasn’t budging. It read 7 AM, but Arianna turned her back on the machine, smiling in her sleep. She was having a good dream and paid no attention to the annoying ‘dream destroyer’ machine. The sun then took action, and it directed its rays on her face. She grumbled in her sleep and decided it was time to wake up. She growled at her alarm and lazily stood up from her bed.

Her nightgown reached all the way to her feet and her jet black hair was an utter mess!! She yawned lazily until she heard a knock on the door,

“ yes, who is it?” she asked, then Adrian, her best male friend and a soldier in the palace came in hurriedly,

“Arianna!!!! You’re still in bed!?!?!?!?!? Princess Eleanor will arrive any moment and you’re not dressed!?!?!?!?!?!? The prince will so fire you!!!!!” he panicked.

Arianna's eyes bulged out, “wait, today’s the day?”

“yes, today’s the day. The prince specifically mentioned he wanted all his maids to be outside the gate at the arrival of the princess.” he preached to her.

Arianna shoved the preachy soldier out the door and locked it. She took off her nightgown and brushed her teeth while combing her hair. Adrian was right, if she came a second late, it would be out the door for her. She shivered, since there was no time to take a bath, she put on her maid outfit and sprayed a lot of deodorant on herself, then splashed her face with cold water and ran out the door.

Adrian smirked, at least she’s out of bed.

Arianna rode the railings of the stairs like a wave, then jumped off, doing a backflip in the process, and landed in one piece. She smiled at herself for the amazing stunt she pulled. But no time to fantasize, she continued running. The golden gate which was the entrance to the palace came into view,

“yes!!” Arianna increased speed, happy that the princess had not yet come. But little did she know, someone had accidentally spilled water on the floor, and by the time she had realized it, it was too late.

“no!!!!!!!!” she screamed, sliding on the polished floor, keeping her balance not to fall. Her scream attracted the attention of her fellow maids which were lined in a straight line, they turned and saw her coming rather fast,

“watch out!!!!!!!!!” she warned her fellow maids, but none of them seemed to care except for Ruby. Well, that was until the prince decided to come to check upon them. She crashed into him and left the maids in jaw-dropping awe.
