Vivian
That evening, I heard a knock and quickly jumped down from the bed. I wondered if it was who I thought it was- Damien?
I walked briskly to the door and opened it, but my face went pale when it fell on one of the maid servants staring at me with a smile on her face. She was holding onto the tray which had my dinner.
Sighing deeply, and waving my hand across her face, I said to her, "I'm not hungry. I won't be eating today."
"Why not?" She asked. "Aren't you feeling well?"
"Not that. I just don't have the appetite," I answered, wearing a small smile.
"Well, if you say so, but is there anything that I can help you with?" She asked.
"Can you get me some apples? I would love to eat them," I said.
"Sure. We have a lot in the kitchen refrigerator. Let me go and peel some for you," she said.
"Oh, thank you so much," I said happily and she gave a nod.
"You are welcome," she muttered, and left.
I sighed deeply and closed the door, then went to the sofa. My mind went back to what Damien had said about telling me something secretive about Queen Laura and Isabella.
I wondered what that could be and I couldn't help but feel curious. After twenty minutes, I heard a knock and I stood up, then went to the door. When I opened it, I saw nobody there.
"Hmm…" I mumbled, scratching the side of my head, wondering if I misheard or something.
I took my face forward, thinking I would probably see if I was wrong.
"Huh… What are you looking at?" I heard a voice and when I turned, I met the same maid servant coming towards me.
"Uh… Someone just knocked and when I checked, I saw nobody around," I replied.
"Oh, really? Probably, you misheard the knock or maybe someone was just playing a prank on you," she said.
I only chuckled slightly.
"Here," she said, stretching her hand towards me. She was holding a covered plate.
"Huh… What is that?" I asked, confused.
She laughed and shook her head. "Don't tell me that you have forgotten that you asked me to get you apples."
"Oh! Sorry, It actually escaped from my mind for a minute there," I said, wearing a warm smile.
"It's fine. You can take it," she said, and I collected it from her.
"Thank you," I whispered.
"You are welcome. I peeled and sliced the apples, just how you like it," she said, and I licked my lower lip.
"Thank you once again. I'm sure I would love it," I said, and she nodded.
"By the way, I met your trainer in the kitchen," she whispered, and my eyes blinked rapidly.
