592 Pepper please- Part 1
.
When the next day arrived, Queen Morganna woke up like any other day with the maids and her servants waiting on her at her every beck and call. She was bathed by the help of the maids, and dressed in the finest silks and wore jewels that were brought from the other lands. But when she stepped out of the room, she hadn't expected to have her two maids disappeared and not standing in front of her.
"Where is Edith and Sybil? I haven't seen them since the ti of morning," questioned Morganna, her red eyes sweeping through the servants who were around.
"They must be busy with so other work, my Queen," replied another maid, bowing her head, but Morganna was not pleased, and she found it to be rather odd.
"I am the only one who gives orders to them. And everyone in the castle knows that they are my personnel maids. Nicola! Go find them and bring them here to imdiately," ordered the Queen and the maid who had answered earlier, bowed her head in compliance.
"Right away, milady," and the maid quickly walked away.
"What are the recent news for today, Maurice?" demanded Morganna, making her way out of her room and through the corridors. "How have things been in the castle?"
"Just as you wanted, my Queen. I made sure to keep the kitchen keys with after locking the kitchen doors, and I cleared every room that had fruits or any other eatables in there. Even the sheds and barns have been locked until the wake of dawn," inford the man nad Maurice, who was the Queen's main inforr and eyes in the castle. "The two young n who arrived yesterday with King Laurence haven't left their rooms since last night, and I can tell that they have been starved."
"Starved is not the right word, Maurice," Morganna dismissed the maids who had been following her as they were of no more use to her right now, and if she did need them, she could always summon them upon her one word. "What my son did yesterday, it is sothing unforgivable, but he is the King of Devon, and it is his words over mine. The boy needs to be kicked out of the castle at the earliest with the other boy with him."
"Forgive , my Queen, but is it possible? King Laurence seems intent on keeping the boy as Calhoun is his son and be used to rule Devon," Maurice quickly bowed his head when Morganna's eyes shifted to look at him.
Morganna took no offence at her loyal servant's words, and she huffed.
She had faced many people in her lives, and a young man like Calhoun was nothing but a speck of dust. All she had to do was blow the dust, and it would disappear. But Morganna didn't know that Calhoun was the dust that could trouble an eye until it spilt tears from it.
When Morganna entered the dining room, the royal family mbers were already present, and so were the two young n. Even her granddaughter seed to have made her presence in the dining room after skipping last night.
"Looks like you finally found your way towards the dining room without getting lost and going back to your room," comnted Morganna, staring at Lucy, who bowed her head in greeting.
Lucy knew if she was going to avoid having food with her family, her grandmother would find sothing worse, and who knew if Calhoun would stand up for her or not. But if they did, the maids would turn to nothing less to chicken, and the maid's headcount would decrease in the castle. She was only being thoughtful about it, thought Lucy to herself, and she grinned.
"Oh no," Lucy shook her head, and she smiled, "I didn't want to trouble the maids. It would be troubleso in the end, and I thought it was best for the maids and the servants, and also you."
"For soone who didn't have her supper last night and didn't eat until now, you seed to be very energetic," stated Morganna, taking her seat at the table.
In response, Lucy asked, "Can you tell?" her head tilted to the side.
Since she had woken up in the morning, Lucy felt energetic, and her vision had turned much more clearer than before, and so did her hearing. She was sure it was because of the blood she had drank from the maid. Even though it was sothing she was not supposed to feel, she could feel her throat turn dry and her mouth water at the sa ti, thinking about the potent taste of fresh blood on her tongue.
Lucy felt soone nudge her leg, and she turned to see her mother, who glared at her to behave herself right this instance.
"It looks like sweet Lucy snuck out and ate sothing, did you not, dear?" asked Lady Rosamund, a polite and friendly smile on her lips.
"How is that possible, Aunt Rosamund, when grandmother clearly ordered everyone not to let eat and starve," ca the quick words from Lucy, and everyone heard a clatter co from Morganna's plate as her knife had hit her plate.
"Lucy Hawthrone, what do you an by this?" demanded Morganna, her eyes narrowed and waiting for her granddaughter to speak.
Theodore, who stood near the wall, wondered if the young vampiress had the sa blood that he had. Because he was normal but the vampiress, she looked like soone high on sweets or alcohol. Her thoughts were straightforward, and clearly, the Queen didn't appreciate it.
