"Who are you"Eleanor asked the woman
"Am your mother dear"
"Then where have you been I haven't met you before"
"My dear l'm in heaven"
"Does that mean I'm also dead"
"No dear you are not I dragged your spirit here to speak with you"
"Why would you drag my spirit"
"You need to be prepared my dear for what is about to come your way"
"Please am not understanding all what you are saying"
"I know you can't but someone is going to help you with all this things be patient"
The person started fading "please wait who is it,who is it you can't leave me hanging"
"Ahhhh"she woke from her dream when she looked around and saw fire torchlight and saw how comfy the bed she was laying on felt.
"Are you okay"she heard a voice
"Hm water please I need water"
Prince James handed her water which was in the table "how do you feel now"
"I…my body feels so sore to me right now am I dead"
He chuckled at her words "no you are not dead he said to her not when I haven't gotten married to you yet he thought in his head"
"I had a nightmare and I was….. it felt so real I…ahh my head"
Going to her he helped her to lay back down on the bed "where am I"she asked
"You are in my room you really have to rest the physician said you needed enough rest"
"Where are you going to sleep it's night already allow me to leave"she said trying to stand up but he held her
"Can you just listen to me and lay down"he said to her calmly which got her resting back
"But where…..,"
"Shhhh I will tell the kitchen to bring in food for you"
She didn't respond this time and only looked at him as he instructed and directed people to serve her.
"Was this the person the woman that claimed to be her mom said she have to be patient for he was quite nice"
"You have been staring at me want to say something"
"No nothing"
**************
"But dad I can't"
"You have to Emily that is the only way we can get that crown my dear be patient"
"But I love him dad and that slave girl I…."
"Shhhh when you become the crown princess I will make sure you become the queen in no time then you will be able to do anything and get married to anyone hm"
"Hmm"
"Just be patient my dear and stay away from that slave girl she looks like trouble"
"She is my personal maid dad"
"I will get a new maid for you you can leave for your room now"
"Ok dad"
Going to her chamber she met some maids carrying trays of food which she wondered who might be eating such things.
"Excuse me who are you taking all these to"
"Milady prince James requested for all the food"
"She folded her hands on her skirt "you can go"smiling at them
They bowed and left "that girl I will have to deal with you personally she said to herself and left the scene
The food was brought into the room when Eleanor got sight of it she gaped at the different dishes placed out.
"You all can leave"saying to the maids
"Who is going to eat all these food"
"Come down and eat aren't you starving already"
"We can't finish this food prince James what if we send it to the poor"
Prince James stared at her this was some of the characters he had always wanted in a girl and especially the one he was going to get married to.
"Poor"
"Hm even if am to eat these food for days I won't be able to finish it up"
"Since you wanted it to be shared to the poor I will make sure of it but it's late already and you have to eat"
"Are you okay with me sitting with you prince James"
Waving his hand "I don't mind can you come down now"
They ate quietly since it was improper to talk while eating "beeehhhh"Eleanor belched from her mouth
"Oh my God am so sorry forgive me prince James"bowing her head in apology
"Is okay and normal for every human I do it also there is no big deal on it"he said smiling to her
"I…thought I emb…arr…..assed myself I…"
"Is ok"
"Can I leave now thank you so much for the food am grateful"
"You are welcome"
Standing up to leave the room when she was stopped by prince James "I don't mind you sleeping on the bed"
"Thanks but I have where to stay maybe tomorrow we will see"
"Ok then since you insist on that"
The maids packed the food and cleaned the place which they used to eat.prince James couldn't stop himself from thinking about Eleanor.
She put on rags but she was still as beautiful as a princess,his princess he was going to have her smiling to his thoughts.
Eleanor left for the maids quarters where they slept which was like a dump but what can they do.she could hear whispers coming from the sides they never cease to gossip about her.
She always wonder what they saw in her and gossiped about her
"She only pretended to faint so the prince will catch her"said the first maid
"Hmm I know that was what she wanted all along"said the second maid
"Shh she might be hearing us"said another maid who came into view
*sigh*she didn't have time for them her mind was on the dream or was it nightmare that she had which was bothering her.
"Look at how she is behaving like she was the princess"said one of the maid
"I can see she is behaving all haughty…"said another
"Since she ate with the prince"
"What? where was the princess when all this was happening in the palace"
"I really don't know"
"We should go teach her a lesson not to mess with what belongs to the princess"
They tried moving close to her but it was like a force kept pushing them back which got them scared.
"I had told you she wasn't a normal human being"said a maid which was scared.
