C3 Working At A Bar!
Aspen signalled me to follow him which I did. I was feeling nervous and scared. I was going to stand before Mr Jay, I mean, the king.
We got to where the king was and bowed.
"Greetings to you your majesty"
"Greetings to you... Your majesty" I also said, mimicking Aspen.
"You may rise" he said. I can't believe that I would spend the rest of my life bowing and rising.
"Who is this beauty?" Prince Albert asked.
"Irene, my prince" I lowered my gaze.
"She's my niece. She came all the way from the West for your coronation" Aspen lied. Somehow, I was feeling guilty.
"I see. It's nice to have you here in great Asturias Irene"
"Thank you my prince" I said again. It sounded disgusting but fun. I slowly raised my head as my gaze met with the other prince. Damn! He was hot.
"I wanted to talk to you about your horses. Albert will be going to meet with his future wife and bring her home. They would need some horses"
"My horses are your horses your majesty"
"You'll discuss the price with the royal secretary"
"Yes your majesty" he bowed again. I diverted my gaze from the prince and followed Aspen away. This time, we didn't go back to our table, we head back home. Some of the villagers were already back. The streets wasn't empty anymore. My eyes strolled round, admiring the way everyone lived peacefully.
I was frightened when a woman bursted out of a bar, pushing a lady away.
"You are useless! Get lost you old wench!" She yelled at her. She fell on the floor, crying with her bag. Wait, did I say bag? She tied all of her dresses in one, knotting the end. She stood up sobbing.
"Isn't that too harsh on the lady Harriet?" Aspen asked.
"It's none of your business Aspen. Go take care of your horses. Wait, who is that?" She asked, staring at me. Was I that beautiful in this strange world. I should admit, I haven't seen anyone as beautiful as I am. I positioned my face well to look more beautiful.
"She's my niece" he said.
"I haven't seen her before or is she missing from our family tree?" she asked.
Oh oh, Harriet and Aspen are family.
"You won't know her. She's from my mother's family. Besides, do you have a job for her? She could be helpful"
"What?" I asked Aspen.
"Shh" he said to me. Harriet walked towards me. She looked like those wicked woman in cartoons. She was fat and tall, having a huge wobbly stomach. Her make up was out of this world. She used so many colors, making her face look more like rainbow color.
She has brown hair which she plait to the back.
She grabbed my hand, flinging me like I was some asset. I quickly freed myself from her grip.
"You're hurting me, easy!" I said, glaring hard at her.
She laughed loudly.
"Your niece sure do have a lot of nerves to talk back at me. She could work as a bar lady. I'm sure she doesn't know how to satisfy men. Her breasts look so big and.." she squeezed my breasts and was trailing her hand to my butt. I moved away from her quickly.
"She'll start tomorrow then. Don't be harsh on older women and also my niece" Aspen advised her and walked away. I glared at Harriet again and followed Aspen's behind.
.
He bought some dresses for me. I didn't like them but what can I say? I accepted it anyway.
He told me some rules guiding the kingdom. He spoke and spoke which was making me so tired and sleepy.
"Do you understand?" He asked me.
"Yes, yes, I understand" I replied.
"Good" he smiled weirdly, walking to his door. I saw a girl pacing about on his porch. That must be his sister.
"Finally! You're back" she said. She looks cute. I could tell that she was about twenty years. She was blonde with brown teeth. Her eyes were crystal blue and her skin was very white. She seemed fragile but she wasn't.
"Yes, I am. Didn't you go to the palace?"
"While everyone was in the palace, I was busy" she said, slipping her fingers into her hair. She suddenly noticed me.
"Busy with what?" Aspen asked.
"Who is this?" She looked disgusted.
"I'll tell you everything later. What were you doing?" Aspen yelled at her.
"I'll also tell you later" she grinned her teeth and grabbed the key from the rope that was tied on Aspen's belly. She opened the door and rushed into the house.
"Let's go" Aspen said to me. I sighed deeply and walked into the house, closing the door behind.
"Can you now explain who she is?"
"What did you steal Wren?" He asked her, placing the cloth he bought for me on the chair. She took a sack bag and threw it at Aspen Aspen caught it and opened his mouth widely.
"Wow, this is huge" he said, surprised. It was now obvious, Wren was a thief.
"Now you've seen it, can you tell me what this lost princess is doing here?" She asked. Aspen stared at me and gazed back at his sister.
.
He explained everything through dinner. Wren found it so funny. She almost choked on her food.
"So tell me, you just found her on the field and she's from where did you say again? Alexander city?" She said and laughed.
"It's fine. I know you don't want me here, I'll leave soon" I said. She stopped laughing and shot me a hard glare.
"I'm glad it's obvious Princess. Just start working at Harriet's anyway. I don't like people staying with me, especially some weird ones" she rolled her eyes and walked away. I dropped my fork and trailed my finger into my hair. I was going to start a new life tomorrow by working in a bar, a bar!
I still can't believe it. I hope it's a good idea. I shut my eyes, dragging my lips between my teeth.
