Princess Emily has been in her room plotting on how she was to deal with Eleanor since she wasn't her personal maid anymore.
"Milady"
She heard someone calling her from outside her bed chamber.
"What are you here for speak"
"Milady I saw Eleanor packing her stuff in the maids quarter"
"What do you expect me to do stop her?"
"No milady I heard that she was going to be a maid in another home"
"Hmmph I pray she dies there and never come back here"
"Yes milady"
"You can leave now and don't come giving me irrelevant information"
Still bowing "yes milady"

"Sire the witches have rebelled against the magistrate that were put to watch over the villages"said the messenger
"What are we going to do about it"
"We should ask the magistrates first on this to get more information"
"Can you hand me the quill and parchment"said the king to the guards standing not too close where they were talking.
He wrote down permission for the magistrate to be questioned about the news concerning the witches.
"This is a decree my stamp is on it show this to all the magistrates that it was sent by the king"
"Yes sire"
"And again I need you to dig out every information regarding the maid Eleanor in the palace"
Bowing down slightly "yes sire"
The messenger left for the task he was given,the rebel in the land was increasing the witches were killing the humans drastically.
"If we really had a daughter Emma I will make sure I find her I promise you"
It was already late in the night but the king hasn't left the court yet since he was still thinking on what he was going to do about this with him being already old to fight.
His brother heard he hasn't left the court to his room.
Stepping inside the court like he didn't know his brother was there "ohh George why haven't you retired to your chambers you know you are getting old"
"Thinking on some things"
Sitting close to him "wish to share what is all about"
"The witches are rebelling against the villages"
"Witches sire I thought we had annihilated every single one in the war"
"That was what I thought also but it looks like some few escaped and now I think they have come to avenge for their brothers and sisters that died long ago"
"What are we going to do about it"
"There will be another war I think so with the way the deaths are increasing that's the only way to finish them up"
Staring at the king pitifully "they are the ones that killed sister-in-law"
The king breathed out "yeah they killed her even before I came back to the palace"
"Emily need to debut as the crown princess soon enough before this problem escalates"
"Don't worry it won't escalate am taking care of the situation"
"The kingdom needs to have a second in command after the king in case any mishap comes to our king"
"Don't worry Anthony nothing's going to happen to me I will be fine"I haven't killed those witches for killing my wife and now I think we had a daughter together which I need to find thought the king to himself
Smiling "I pray the king lives long, I be will leaving for my chamber now"
"You can leave take care"
While walking away from the court "you are not ready to debut my daughter as the crown princess I see I think I will have to take things in my hands for this happen"thought his brother while leaving

"Who do we have here"said Adrian walking towards the throne where the king sat down
"Came to take the girl"
"Yes where is she"answered Adrian
"Why do you want her for a maid I can get any maid for you if you want"
"What about it giving me an option,why are you interested in her now"he raised an eyebrow at the king inquisitiveness in his action.
"Nothing you can have her"

Eleanor was packing her stuffs in the maid quarters when she remembered the stranger
'He told me he was going to come for me why has he not come yet and now someone else has taken me for a maid such a liar hmmph why am I even thinking about him now ahhh'she kept murmuring only to her hearing
"Looks like she is leaving the palace for good"said the first maid
"Yes it's better than her staying here"said the second
"I can't imagine her staying close to prince James such a girl"said another which irked Eleanor she had to turn,she don't answer them whenever they gossip about her but since she was leaving she has to show them who she really is.
"Ohhhh who is talking now I can see you all don't have what to do huh am I too pretty that you all can take your eyes away from me"
"Pretty you say"a maid said and scoffed
"Yes of course that is you all can take your eyes away from me orrr staring at them while covering her body like she was scared are you into girls now please I dont do that"
"What is she saying"
"Are you crazy we are not into girls"
"Then why do all you always want to come closer to me do you want to touch me"said Eleanor glaring sharply at their faces
"Why…you are lying stop saying nonsense Eleanor"
She now frowned her face looking serious at them "what's with the gossip aren't you all ashamed of yourself always gossiping about someone just right in front of them"
They stared at their selves akwardly with their faces down "don't try to lecture us like you are more better than us"
"I…am not bett….er b….."she looked at the guard coming there way which she knew was for her regarding her departure"
"It's time for departure can you come with your bag the king is awaiting you"
"Behind you"
"The king said I should make sure you are with me please can you follow me"
Staring at the maids she picked up her bag and followed the guard.stopping right in front of the door which looked like a gate it swung open from the inside.
"Eleanor your master is here to take you"said the king staring at Adrian
Following the eyesight of the king which was directing to Adrian she asked
"Is this my master sire"
"Yes dear this is your master Adrian"
"What the hell has the king done"she thought staring straight into Adrian's eye with him smiling mischievously at her.
