She started washing them again, the door opened quietly a girl entered by her outfit can could tell she is a maid , she tiptoes into the room smiling she hid something behind her back, she carefully sat down behind Emily.
She saw the piles of clothes as she gasp shock.
"What are those clothes for?" Bonnie have been Emily friends since childhood, she asked.

"I can see, when I left this morning to serve the King's family breakfast, you were washing and now its almost dusk and you are still washing, spill it out." Bonnie said as Emily sigh.
"I finished Washing before lunch, but princess Morgana came, she angrily pull them in the floor." I said.
"Morgana!, don't she knows you senior her brother and her, how dare them do this to you, so what if we are slaves we are still humans." Bonnie fired angrily causing Emily to chuckle.
"Keep your voice low, the walls have ears." I said, then continued washing.

"Thank you so much, i though i we sleep with hunger today, those two are more than enough, thank you." I said as I hug her before taking the buns.
"It's okay, as long as I can help you." She said as I nodded too speechless to talk.
"Go ahead, I don't want the guards to see you walking around this night, be carefully on your way back." Emily said smiling.
"Okay big sis, be quick." Bonnie said as she stood up hug Emily before she left.
Emily stare at the retreating figure of her dearest friend, tears prickled in her eyes, she have been staying here lonely not until a new set of maids was rescripted, she was the first person with boldness to ask for her friendship.

Emily came quiet late, she was assigned to serve the guards and beta Jim, Emily took the tray of food and left to the gate she saw the guards in their post, she hates been told to serve those angry beast, the way the guards always stare at her frighten her.
A guard have been stalking for a while now, calming that he love her and wants her, it became too frequent that she became afraid to walk alone. But thankfully he was killed in a hunt set by the king.
Emily sent her the food down and quickly stood up cause her uniform was short barely touching her knees.
She left them to eat and went to carry the last tray of food met for beta Jim, she went to his room and saw him talking the other two king assistants plus omega, they stop when they saw me.
"Good morning." I said bowing politely.
"Come in Emily." Beta Jim said as Emily entered.
"I brought your food." I said nervously at the stares I was getting.
He took the tray from my hands and set it outside.
"Dose your hands hurt?" He asked as I look up surprised.
"Eeh!"I ask unbelieving.
"Your hands dose it still hurt, that clothes you washed yesterday, I saw you." Hr said taking my hands in his.
"I knew it, I felt a presence watching me, so it was you." I said excitedly.
For unknown reasons I was excited, maybe because apart for bonnie, someone else truly cares.
"Thanks thou, but you scared me." I said smiling.
"Van I hug you?" He asked as I rose my Brie surprised.
"Aah!, I......." Before I could finish he engulf me in s tight embrace filling me with his strong strawberry smell.
