Chapter 8: Myrtle

A/N: Myrtle on the media

I threw myself on the bed the moment I got back in my room. Ugh, my ankles hurt a lot because of the high heels and I think that dinner just drained all the energy from my body. I sighed. I can't even begin to fathom what the queen would like to talk with me about tomorrow.

"Hey, Myrtle... Why did you come to me? What hope were you even expecting from me?" I curiously asked Myrtle who's also lying in the bed beside me.

Myrtle just looked at me confused. 'What is Dew talking about?' she asked.

"Well, you know... you kept appearing in my dreams saying weird stuff. I swear! This all began because of that." I told her.

'Hmm... Myrtle doesn't remember anything.' she replied.

"Seriously? You don't remember anything? How can that be?"

Myrtle nodded. 'I'm sorry, but Myrtle doesn't really know.'

I sighed. This should have been one of the easiest ways to finally get some answers. Could it be that it was a... different entity? I mean if I could only talk to that voice again, she'll surely know the answers to my questions. I scratched my head. Ughh why are all of these things happening to me??

'Is Myrtle causing Dew distress?' Myrtle suddenly asked, looking all worried.

"Oh, no-no. Myrtle didn't cause this. Forget about everything I've said," I told her.

I took off my long dress and went to the bathroom to wash my face. I then went inside the walk-in closet to choose a pajama to wear, but it looks like they don't have one. I found a set of night dresses so I just wore one although I'm not used to it.

I was about to wash my pajamas, but I found out it was not on the couch anymore. Where did it go? I rang the bell and the head maid knocked on the door. I permitted her to go inside.

"Is there something you need, milady?" she asked.

"The pajamas right here," I pointed on the couch. "Where is it? It's something really important to me." I told her in panic. I hope they didn't throw it out.

"Oh, you mean that clothing? We took it to wash it clean. If it's something important to milady then we will return it as soon as possible." she explained.

I heave a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness," it was something I had from my world so I wanted to treasure it.

"Is there anything else you need?" she asked.

"Oh nothing really, that's all," I replied.

"Well then, I'll excuse myself. Please rest comfortably for the night." she smiled before exiting the door.

I sat on the bed and suddenly felt my eyes stung. Oh right, I haven't taken off my contacts yet it must be dry already. I wasn't able to bring an eye drop so I don't have anything to maintain this with. I carefully took off my contact lens and felt so good afterward. I didn't realize I was still wearing these the whole time. I walked towards the vanity table and stared at my forest green eyes in the mirror. I don't see this much often, but I guess I'll be doing so now. It probably won't be a problem right? Fae people usually have unusual eye colors so this will fit in well.

I lied on the bed and covered myself under the thick blanket. Myrtle also joined, lying down beside me. I kind of remember when she was still an egg she also does this. At first, it was really hard to sleep thinking I'd accidentally lie on the egg, but then I got used to it. Never have I thought back then that a creature like this lay in slumber inside that egg.

I closed my eyes. 'Goodnight Dew,' I heard Myrtle's sleepy voice say in mind which made me smile. 'Goodnight Myrtle,' I replied then she hugged my arm.

I guess this ain't too bad.

||~*(@)*~||

The knock on the door and the sunlight hitting my face woke me up. It's already morning huh... I sat down the bed and stretched my arms.

The head maid entered my room. "Milady? Breakfast is already served. I advise that we go down now so you can eat."

"Oh okay, I'll get ready in a while," I said as I weakly walk towards the bathroom to take a shower and get changed. I smiled as I saw my pajamas placed back on the couch.

Myrtle followed me so I thought I should bath her as well. I noticed that the bathtub is already filled with water so I decided to go with it. We only had a shower at our home so this is my chance to spoil myself in a bathtub mwahaha. Myrtle was just floating in the air so I called her.

"Come in here Myrtle, I shouldn't be the only one taking a bath," I raised my brows and crossed my arms.

'But..' she seemed reluctant. Is she scared of the water? She looks like a puppy forced to take a bath. I chuckled.

"Come on. There's nothing to be scared of, plus this will clean your body." I urged her. She still doesn't look convinced so I just pulled her in the water.

'Kyaaah!' she screamed as she fell in the water.

I chuckled as I looked at her face which is covered by her wet hair. Myrtle pulled her hair sideways and revealed a pouting face.

I laughed at the cuteness. "What? It's not that bad. Try swimming around and you'll enjoy it." I told her.

'Myrtle doesn't want to take a bath,' she said, still pouting. Oh no, I think it put her in a bad mood.

I tried making some bubbles from the soap and her eyes sparkled in interest. She started doing the same, but it was just impossible for her small mouth and hands so she's pouting again. I taught her how to swim and surprisingly she was able to do it as I instructed. I felt like a proud mama seeing her baby walk.

"Wow Myrtle, you learn so fast!" I praised her.

'Teeheh' Myrtle just said as she swam all around the bathtub. I chuckled, she's enjoying herself now. Looks like I won't have to force her to join me in the bath next time.

"Milady are you done now?" I heard the head maid said and I remembered I still need to go for breakfast.

Ughh I still do take a long time in the bath! Back in my world, I can stay inside the bathroom for an hour doing absolutely nothing. I guess old habits die hard especially now that I have somebody to take a bath with me.

"Let's go, Myrtle," I told her as I got off from the tub.

'Ehh.. don't want to,' she complained. Oh no, looks like I made her enjoy it too much. She mentioned she doesn't want to be left behind so maybe reverse psychology would work.

"Then stay there. I'll go ahead first." I told her and she immediately followed. 'Noo.. don't leave me,' she cried.

"I won't, I won't. I was just going to get changed," I explained as I dried her with a towel.

After taking care of Myrtle, I changed into a light blue dress. It looks like I really need to get used to wearing dresses all the time since there's nothing else in that big closet. Oh, how I missed wearing shorts and oversized t-shirts.

We finally arrived at the dining hall, but there's nothing else here other than the bunch of foods prepared on the table. I guess I'm here early?

The butler pulled me a seat so I just sat in there while waiting for the Queen and the others to arrive. "Why are you not touching your food milady? Is it not to your liking? I'll ask the chef to prepare you a different dish," the butler said.

"Oh, no. There's no need. I'm just waiting for the queen?.." I hinted.

"The queen has important matters to attend to so we just delivered breakfast to her. The prince and the princesses have also finished eating their separate meals," the butler explained.

"Ah, I see..." that's weird since mom and I always try to eat our meals together as much as possible. "Is it like this every day?" I asked in curiosity and the butler nodded. I guess you can't blame them since they do seem busy.

I began eating my food in silence and also fed Myrtle some pomple berry which she likes very much. I felt a bit sad for them, but this might not be too bad since their presence does make me uncomfortable. Besides, I don't feel all alone since I have Myrtle with me.

I was about to go back to my bedroom after eating, but the butler stopped me. "Milady, please follow me. The queen requests for your audience."

Oh right, how could I forget about that?
