1 Godmother's Thoughts

In the kingdom of Aurelia, inside the Royal Palace

The Queen of Aurelia a.k.a Godmother was in a daze as she sat in her rosewood chair, placed her hands on the table and thought about the daily affairs of the Kingdom. "These, Nobles are getting more unruly, day-by-day. Some of them haven't paid the taxes by saying some weird reasons, and some of them don't even respond to my letters, looks like I have to do a 'Major Cleaning' or probably one day, they'll send someone to assassinate me" Said Godmother to herself. She knew that even though the Nobles would not do anything over the line, it would be only a few months before they kill Raymond on his trip to see the public next time.

*Knock knock knock* A series of knocking sounds woke up Godmother from her daze.

"Mistress, here's your tea, that you ordered." A pleasant voice came from outside the room.

"Ah, Anna, Come in!" Godmother said, while tucking the few strands of her hair behind her ear. 'Actually Anna should be serving Raymond instead of me, but God knows where that clown ran off to, not even taking his own maid with him'

Godmother remembered that the moment Raymond learned that She was coming, he disappeared, leaving only Anna to take care of her.

Anna, the maid of Prince Raymond, came in and placed the tea on the table where Godmother was sitting.

"Miss, is something bothering you? I see that Miss has grown quite thin these days." Anna asked as she stood by the side of Godmother

"What?! Ah No! It's nothing! It's nothing! I was just trying to get slimmer, that's it"

Anna replied with an 'Oh' which was a clear declaration by her that she wasn't convinced and she was worried about Godmother

"Now off you go." Godmother waved her hand to dismiss Anna, as she elegantly grabbed the cup and took a small sip of the tea. Anna bowed and started walking towards the door.

"Oh wait, another thing" Just as Anna was about to grab the door handle, she heard Godmother say this, Anna turned around and asked curiously "Is there something else, Mistress?" As Anna thought how Godmother was probably hiding something from her, Anna got excited 'Could it be that, Mistress wants to share her problems with me? I might be able to help her' Anna thought to herself.

Godmother patted to a chair next to her as she said "Sit down" Godmother's mood turned solemn. Anna carefully seated herself there, after all, the chair, which Godmother was patting was her Master's chair, and only God knows what he'd do to her if he learned that his maid sat on his chair without his permission.
