The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 1436

"Ms. Serena."

"What in the world happened to my room?" Serena asked, her eyes scanning the chaos, "Did we get burgled? Are the other rooms trashed too? Was I attacked in my sleep last night? Why am I covered in bruises? And why is everyone acting like I'm some sort of monster?"

The maid recounted the previous night's events in painstaking detail.

Serena was incredulous. "And why is my hand so swollen and painful?"

"That would be because you attempted to karate chop a dining table last night," the maid explained, a nervous edge to her voice. "Ms. Bella said you might have a slight fracture. Luckily, it didn't displace, so you don't need to be realigned. Just a cast for a couple of weeks should do."

Karate chopping a table? A fracture?

The disbelief on Serena's face deepened as the maid continued to spill the beans about her antics upon returning home: jogging in place, knocking over vases, tumbling down the stairs, and continuously passing gas.

But karate chopping a table and ending up with a fracture? What on earth were those about?

Only under relentless questioning did the maid finally stammer out the full account.

Serena felt as if she'd been struck by lightning. She couldn't believe that she had, in front of Romeo and Martin, embraced a tree and smothered it with kisses, attempted a pole dance, and the table-chopping.

Not to mention the mortifying things she'd blurted out.

And it didn't end there. She had even tried to take a shit on Arabella's balcony in front of several servants!

She was beyond embarrassed.

"Because you were causing such a scene last night without any antidote, Eunice had no choice but to tie you to the bed."
