Isabella woke up to the dawn. She lazily climbed off her bed, rubbing her eyes to get rid of the sleep and went to the small bathroom. She brushed her teeth before she poured cold water on her face to help her wake up, since she slept for only 4 hours. She returned back to her room to grabb her suit from her closet.

After she puts on her suit, she exits her room and sprinted to the huge kitchen. Once there, she grabbed the pan, placing it on the stove, she turned it on before she grabbed the teapot, filling it with water before she placed it on the heating stove.

She squeezed some oranges before put the juice in the glasses. She grabbed the silver tray, placing in on the marble counter before she placed two plates and the flagged of orange juice on it. She fixed two eggs with sausages. Once they cooked, she carefully placed them on the plates and poured cold water on the pan. Leaving it on the sink, she cut some slices of bread and lastly took two cups before she poured the hot tea in.

Putting the bread and tea on the tray, she slowly and carefully picked it up. She left the kitchen and made her way to the King's and Queen's room. She grabbed the handle and quietly opened the door. She walked in the dark room, hearing the King's snores. She rolled her eyes and placed the tray on the desk before she opened the yellow curtain s.

She heard a groan but she ignored it. She dashed out of their room as she heard them wake up. They always take their breakfast in bed. She slipped the Electric blue curtain of the long hall to the side, the sun immediately hitting her face, before she went back to the kitchen. She would wait there for them to finish their breakfast, so she can clean their room.

She would usually clean Prince's Eric room when he was still living here but he is abroad for four years now. She doesn't know why he left nor does she care, the only thing that matters is that he is not there. She doesn't really like him because of the weird stares he would give her, so she did the best to ignore him.

After almost one hour, Isabella heard their voices from the hall, meaning that they are done. She immediately, stands up and quickly headed to their bedroom. She walked in the room and frowned when she didn't see the tray with the food. She decided to ignore it for, thinking that they took it to leave it in the kitchen, and do her job. She changed the old bed sheets with some clean ones. She also changed the pillow cases before she places the two blankets above.

Signing, she gathered the dirty sheets into a small ball. She took the dirty clothes that where wandering around the large, elegant room. She picked up the clothes and the sheets from the floor before she walked out of the room heading to the bathroom.

She leaves the clothes on the floor to grabb the detergent. She shut the tap before she filled the big sink. Once its filled but not enough to fall on the ground. She puts some of the detergent and mixed it a little with her small hands and with her other hand took the sheets and clothes.

She dived them in the water and started rubbing them, to clean them. This would take a while but she wasn't in a hurry. Small hair tufts fall from hair loose bun, in front of her face making her blow them away. Shs huffued in annoyance when another small tuft fall. She just gave up and continued cleaning the cloths.

After an hour and a half, she had finished. She gave a sign of relief as she took her hands out of the water and dried them with the towel. She scolded as she looked at soaed fingers. She took a basin from under the sink and put them in. She picked it up and walked out of the bathroom.

She went outside in the backyard, the sun warming her face, where nobody ever stepped a foot there. She hang the clothes and sheets on the rope. After that, she goes back inside. She didn't know what to do. She did all of her chores yesterday, so she doesn't have something else to do.

It was still morning and it was early to prepare dinner, so she decided to continue her book. She had found it in the prince's room when she last cleaned his room, so she decided to take it with her. She knew she shouldn't have taken it without permission but the prince was already gone, so he wouldn't notice it.

She would read it when she didn't have something to do. She really liked the book. She had read it two times already. It was a story about a girl who was poor and didn't have a family. She believed in a miracle, that some one would unexpectedly come into her life save her and then a miracle happened. One day a man catched her from falling down the stairs.

She took him out for a coffe to show her gratefulness. She could have hit her head pretty hard since it had a big distance from the floor. After that, they began to hang out almost daily, she found out that he was a soldier. She catched feelings for him, he had an amazing personality, he was sweet and kind. He didn't do something to make her feel uncomfortable. She was always eager to see him. In the end, he confess to her and they got married.

It was a really enjoyable and beautiful book. She wouldn't get tired reading it no matter how many time she read it. She wishes for something like that to happen to her. She wanted someone to take her out of there. She wanted to feel loved and cared for. She missed that feeling.

She heard footsteps from the hall, she quickly hides the book in the small counter behind her. She stands up as the door bursts open, the Queen, whose name is Evangeline, walks in with a wide smile on her face.

"Isabelle, prepare another dinnerware. Make sure to fix a lot of food and it better be tasty." Evangeline said in a strict voice. Isabella lowered her head as she wasn't used to that tone. Evangeline noticed that and her face soften.

"Eric is returning home. He sent us a letter yesterday but we took it today. He will be here by dinner, so make sure everything will be ready by then.",With that she turned around and walked away, leaving a dazzled Isabella behind.
