' Breakfast duty again. Let's hope there isn't another man in Princess Mariella's bed. '

I knocked on the princess's door and waited for her response. I didn't hear anything at first and then I heard the shuffling of bed sheets. 

   " Enter. "

You opened the door and pushed the cart into the room. Princess Mariella sat up in her bed. Her chest was bare and her hair was a mess. You pushed the cart to the bed and bowed.

   " I have your breakfast ready. "

   " Put it over...put on the chair over there. "

You picked up the tray and walked over to the chair. You set it on the soft cushions and walked back to the bed to get the other breakfast items. When you were walking back to the bed a figure was hugging Mariella's midsection. You noticed it was a woman this time and not a man. Her hair was black and her skin was honey-colored, like Mariella's.

   ' Well, I did say I hope there wasn't a man. I never thought of a woman. Tomorrow I'll just say, 'person'. '

Mariella stood up from the bed, revealing her naked body to the world. She walked to the mirror and ran her hands through her hair. You set the rest of the breakfast items on the couch and walked back to the cart, bowing. You waited to be dismissed. The woman in the bed got up and started walking over to Mariella.

She let her naked body be revealed and she hugged Mariella from the back. Her hands touched Mariella's body and you felt uncomfortable. You wanted to leave as the woman touched the princess. 

   " Francesca, stop. "

   " But I want to. "

   " Not now, my maid is here. "

   " Then dismiss her. Or you could let her join in. "

   ' Please no. Dismiss me. Dismiss me! '

   " Maid you are dismissed. "

   " Thank you! "

You bowed and took the cart away from the princess's room. When you were outside the door you started hearing things you wished you wouldn't hear. You walked to the prince's room and knocked on his door.

   " Enter. "

You walked into the prince's room and saw the prince sitting on his bed, putting his shoes on. 

   " I have your breakfast, Prince Quinn. "

   " Set it on the same table from yesterday. "

You nodded and set the tray on the table. The prince walked to the table and sat down. You set other condiments on the table and walked back to the cart. You waited for your next set of instructions.

   " Y/n? "

   " Yes, your highness? "

   ' I thought royals were just supposed to call us by 'maid'? '

   " Take a seat. "

He gestured to the seat in front of him. You took a seat thinking that something was going on. The seat you were sitting in was directly in front of the window. So, your back faced the window. The prince crossed his legs and looked at you.

   " I want to ask you for advice. "

   " Alright. "

Prince Quinn took a bite of his blueberry pancakes and when he swallowed them he started talking. His voice was like his father's. It was deep but calming. 

   " If you had to choose between love or your people, which one would you choose? "

   " In what situation? "

   " Marriage. I must be getting married soon to someone I do not love. In order to become king, I have to have a queen. I am of age for the crown so I am of age for a wife. But I wish to marry for love and not just for the empire. "

   " I see. "

   " So, what would you do? "

   " Well, your highness. In all due respect, what about a divorce? "

   " A divorce? "

   " Yes, if I was in your position I would get married, stay that way for two weeks, and then get a divorce. I am the same as you and I would marry for love. "

   " Didn't you hear what I just said? I must have a wife to be king. "

   " Yes, but when you divorce her you will be kind at that point. Is your inauguration not a week after your marriage? "

   " You have me there. "

   " That's what I would do, your highness, but you may do whatever you wish. " 

   " How long have you worked here? "

   " A year. "

   " How have I not noticed you? "

   " I like to stay out of the limelight. I'm not one for it. "

The sun behind you was shining and to the prince, it looked like an angel was sitting in front of him. The sunlight highlighted your features and made you look even more beautiful. Your cheeks were red, from embarrassment and your smile was small but breathtaking. 

   " Why are your cheeks so red? "

   " W-Well you see, Princess Mariella-"

   " She had another one-night stand, didn't she? "

   " Yes, your highness. "

   " That's three this week. I'll have to talk to my mother and father about her actions. This is not how a princess should be acting. She will be getting married soon as well when she turns nineteen. "

   " That's a year from now. "

   " Yes, and time flies so it'll be here quicker than you think. We also don't need her to have a child before she is married. That will look bad for the family name. "

   " I understand your highness. "

   " Thank you for giving me your time to talk. You may go now. "

   " Yes, your highness. "

   " Y/n? "

   " Yes? "

   " Please don't use 'your highness' with me anymore. It burns my head to hear you say it. "

   " What shall I refer to you as? "

   " Prince Quinn is fine. "

   " Yes, Prince Quinn. "

You took the cart and pushed it out of his room. When you left Quinn started eating more of his breakfast and he had a small smile on his face.

   " A divorce? That doesn't sound bad. "
