Chapter 84: The maids rejected Emmah.
This conversation happened to be overheard by Emmah who walked into the kitchen on foot, gone was the wheelchair which she had been using as a crutch to score pity points. It had come to her notice that it was not a strategy that would work, she needed to be more mobile in order to get things.
While she had been in bed feigning illness, Sigrid had bought that buildings she had been hoping to acquire and then Roland refused to come and see her. Her plan had been to cry and beg for him to take the buildings from Sigrid and give them to her.
It was still her plan, she just needed to find Roland.
"What does the crown princess need?" Emmah put her hands behind her back and smiled warmly at the maids.
"Nothing that concerns you." Lanai replied stiffly.
All of Sigrid’s maids were beyond loyal, they halo on Emmah’s head could not affect them.
The smile on Emmah’s face dwindled, anger flashed in her eyes for a second and then it was quickly covered up by another smile.
"You don’t need to be so cold to me Lanai, I am the crown prince’s guest, I am just trying to be helpful because we all live under the same roof." She giggled and flipped her hair back, then she reached out and held Lanai’s arm, "You don’t have to be distant from me, I am not a noble woman, I am an ordinary commoner like you guys.
Even though I have some status because I have magic and saved the life of the crown prince, I will never treat you as if you are beneath me. We are all human, so we are all equal, nobody is greater than the other. I hope that you can consider me to be a friend."
While Emmah was trying to worm her way into Lanai’s heart, the other maids sneered, the crown princess had already warned them about Emmah and told them to be on the loo out for anybody who came to them preaching nonsense like this.
Lanai shoved Emmah’s hands away with strength and sneered, "Miss Emmah, I am not in need of friends, I have enough. Also, I will advise you not to say nonsense like we are all equal just because we are human, under this roof, none of us is equal to the crown prince and princess. In Eldoria, nobody is equal to the king, if you want to be beheaded, please die alone. I have no desire to be your companion in death."
Lanai’s clever words shook up the maids, especially Bella who had been wavering slightly, indeed if the king heard such words, none of them would be spared.
"Miss Emmah, aren’t you dying? Why are you here, you should leave, we don’t need you to cough up blood around the food." Lama raised her voice and questioned sternly while gesturing for Emmah to get out.
Emmah’s smiled stiffly and controlled her rugged breathing, she wanted to explode and slap the maids. Sh really tried but the words were blurted out as if vomit was being pushed out of her mouth forcefully.
"You are just maids, I am being nice to you but you are acting as if you are better than me. This is why you will always be nothing but insects to be stepped on, you don’t know what’s good for you."
She turned on her heel and stomped out of the kitchen, muttering something about backward world and how everyone would see when she rose to the top.
Her outburst left the maids sneering and not very surprised, they had seen the secondary consort and two princesses losing their minds after Sigrid outwitted them, this Emmah was no different.
"Ha! I thought she said we are all equal why did she call us maids then?" Bella asked.
Lanai laughed, "It is what we call being double faced, she is full of schemes that woman. I don’t know why the crown princess has not kicked her out yet. She dared to send a maid to fetch the crown prince to her private bedroom at night because she was not feeling well."
Milly leaned forward, placed her hands on the table and whispered, "I heard she was in nothing but her undergarments and when the prince refused to come, she strutted out of the bedroom just like that."
Some maids gasped and those that had heard about it laughed.
Three of the cooks leaned in to share what they had seen. "You all missed it, the butler’s face turned red, two knights almost collided and Mrs. Orlando, the old governess fainted."
"She has no shame at all, how can a woman walk around in the castle barely dressed when she knows there are male servants and knights around? What was she thinking?"
"I can understand if the owners of the castle choose to do that, but a guest!!! the crown princess was right to offer her a position of a mistress, she is clearly vying for one."
"Wait, I thought she was being adopted as a daughter, did that change?"
"What grown up daughter walks around her father’s castle in her undergarments?" Lanai scoffed. "If I had such a daughter, I would marry her off in an heartbeat, to a far away land, we are living in reality not Castle landing where Lady Blanche lives."
"Yes, brothers don’t kiss sisters in Eldoria." Bella giggled.
All the female servants laughed, uniting in judgement of Emmah’s unbecoming ways.
"Haven’t you all noticed that similarities between lady Blanche and Emmah?" One whispered the rumor that had been floating through the city slowly.
Some were directly comparing Roland, Emmah, Benjamin and the king in the series to the reality on ground. These things were not said out loud for fear of offending the king because claiming that Emmah could be the king’s daughter was a thing that could easily see one imprisoned. But, the fact that Emmah had no known father had a few tongues wagging.
"She certainly behaves like her in some ways." One of the cooks nodded. "You should have seen the tantrum she threw when the prince did not come to her. My God!! I thought that we would be spending all morning cleaning up the blood she would vomit. But, there was not a single drop, I wonder why?"
"She does it like this." Bella put a hand to her mouth, pushed her chest forward and coughed.
She showed her hand which had imaginary blood to the rest and made a sad face. "Crown prince, I saved your life so hug me or I will die. Third prince, carry me, my legs are lacking for bones." she spoke coquettishly and dramatically.
This time, the laughter of the servants was very loud., it only stopped because someone cleared their throat from the entrance to the kitchen.
They all turned at the same time and stopped laughing when they saw Sigrid.
"Good morning, your highness." They greeted at once and curtsied.
Sigrid smiled and waved her hand, "Good morning ladies, Lanai, the king has summoned me, I need to be washed."
Lanai, Lama, Bella and Milly separated themselves from the rest of the female servants, rushing like little chicks to Sigrid.
Sigrid nodded at the rest of the maids in the kitchen and nodded once with an amused smile on her face, "Carry on."
