When Robellia woke up it was late in the night she was sleeping next to her mother. She seemed confused. Last she remembered she was crying in Maximus' arms. How did she get here. "Thank goodness. You are finally up." She heard her mother speak. "What happened?" Roselyn caressed her head,"Madamé Sino found you in the laundry room passed out. The woman brought you back to sleep. She gave me the rest of the day off so I could take of you. You must have been exhausted with all the work. She asked me to give you these."
Roselyn took out a handkerchief from under the pillow and gave it to her. Robellia recognized it immediately. She sat up and took the handkerchief full of snacks. A tear slid down her cheek. Roselyn sat up,"What is it, Liya?" Robellia hugged her mother as she cried her heart out and no matter how many times Roselyn asked what was wrong, Robellia just cried.
As days went on Robellia came to terms with the fact she might never see Maximus but atleast she had Genevieve and her mother. Genevieve was the best, they became attached practically sisters. The years went on and soon enough 9 years had passed by.
" Liya! Liya!" Robellia finished hanging her clothes and turned to the yelling Genevieve. She was running and seemed terribly out of breath. She stopped in front of Robellia and sat on the ground. Robellia sighed," What trouble did you get into this time,Gen?" Genevieve took a deep breath,"Madamé Sino.... She..." She couldn't complete her sentence as she was short of breath. "Not again Gen. Did you anger her again? Did you break something? Or did you hit someone?" Genevieve pouted,"Why do you keep painting as the villainess of Madamé Sino's life story." Robellia helped Genevieve up,"Sadly, because you are the villainess in her story." Genevieve sighed,"I give her the drama to look up for when she wakes up. She should be thankful."
"You are lucky she loves you." Robellia said as she walked back into the laundry room. Genevieve chuckled,"Is that so? Even if she did love me am sure it's nothing compared to how she loves her sweet precious Liya." Robellia sighed,"Gen, am sure you didn't ran all the way here to come pester me. If you wanted to pester me you'd walk like always. So, what is it?"
Genevieve grinned and took the laundry basket out of Robellia's hands," Well, you know how I've been pestering Madamé Sino to let reassign us. So we could work together." Robellia nodded,"Well welcome to the kitchen." Genevieve excitedly said. Robellia smiled,"Are you serious,Gen?"
Genevieve nodded excitedly as she pulled Robellia along,"Where are you taking me? I haven't finished with the laundry." "She wants to tell you in person so come on." Genevieve dragged her along. When they finally found Madamé Sino, she was busy ordering some arrangements be made in the Royal dining hall. When she was done . She turned to the girls and smiled at Robellia before glaring at Genevieve which made Genevieve smiled. " How have you been Robellia?"
Robellia smiled," I have been well. I hope the same goes to you." Madamé Sino nodded " Oh! It has. The only problem so far is that someone is making me age before my time." She looked at Genevieve. " You'll be working at the kitchen from now on. Gen, will be instructing you on the basics there." Robellia nodded. "Can she start right away?" Genevieve insisted. Madamé Sino agreed "fine."
"Madamé Sino." They heard a voice. Once they turned they immediately bowed their heads,"Your Highness." "No need for such formalities. Ah! Liya how have you been?" Prince George asked. Robellia smiled,"I have been well. I hope the same goes for you, Your Highness." " Yes it does. I'd like to have a word with Madamé Sino, if you don't mind." " Of course not Your Highness. We were just about to leave. Have a good day."
George smiled," The same goes for you."
Robellia and Genevieve bowed before leaving. Once they were far enough, Genevieve squealed,"I can never get over how handsome the Prince is. His golden hair those beautiful blue eyes bend those glasses. He looks so delicate yet so overpowering." "Gen, Don't you have a boyfriend?" Genevieve sighed."It's not a sin to praise another man. By the way I can never seem to get used to the fact that the Prince knows your name." "He just See's me around Madamé Sino too often." Genevieve hummed still unconvinced,"It's not like I am not around Madamé Sino as much. Anyway back to the boyfriend subject. 8 haven't seen you with Felix for a while now." "Well, we just need time from one another. It's for the best." Robellia answered. "He doesn't need that time you speak of. The problem isn't him, it's you and you know it."
The two walked into the kitchen,"I know and that's why I need to be away from him." "He is a good guy. Not something you come across everyday. Just give it a try." Robellia sighed.
