Chapter 3: The dinner (Part 2)

At first when I'm back at the dinner table im pretty quiet, as i'm still holding back my tears, my mother's words really hurt me. 

I'm lost in my thoughts for awhile but then I look up and I see him, and oh what a sight for sore eyes. 

I have never seen him before I think he's my mothers new servant. He looks to be about two years older then me. He has black hair, very messy and long, and emerald green eyes. 

All of a sudden I see him staring straight at me, we lock gazes and im hooked. We stare for awhile then he smiles at me. We are both in a trance, then he smiles at me and I blush. He looks a little shy, and I think he can tell I am very shy and nervous myself. All of a sudden i'm shocked into reality by my mothers annoying voice. "Lydia listen to me when I am speaking to you for goodness sake." She shouts at me. Her voice then raises even higher as she gives the cute new servant a death stare, and yells at him as well. "Mason, did I pay you to zone out on the job, stare at my daughter which is completely unacceptable as well. I'm sure you know that she is a princess soon to be queen, and you are nothing, a low life servant, who will amount to nothing. Now please do your job before I fire you, and I know how much you need this money, now get to it." 

Mason is startled and I can tell he is quite afraid of my mother, for not only is she a b***h but she owns him sadly. She is the queen, and in a blink of an eye she could make him lose everything. 

"Im sorry your highness, please forgive me it wont happen again." He scurries over to serve the food with his head down in shame. Before he can get to the table though he trips and the spaghetti goes flying out of his hands and into my fathers lap. 

I gasp as i know this is not going to end well. At that moment my heart goes out to Mason. 

My father jumps up and lets just say all hell breaks loose. My father screams and tells Mason he will not be paid for today, and also that if something like this happens again he will surely be fired on the spot. 

After Mason has left looking very upset, dinner goes back to being completely uninteresting for me. 

"So" Derick says smiling at me. "I have big plans for you and I." I look up at him and try to hide my discomfort. "I bet you do." I say sweetly. "What are these plans?"

"Well" Derick begins. "first of all we will have to fix you up a lot, there's plenty you need to work on. Your appearance, the way you act, what you say. We will have you made fit to be a queen. Second we will get married, you will please me in whatever way's necessary, in and out of the bed. We will have 3 children, I will tell them stories of how I made their mother into the wonderful woman, you will be by that day. Everything will be perfect." He says with a smirk.

I want to laugh and say I don't think so and plenty more, but before I do, I glance over at my mother and I decide to just nod my head instead. 

"Oh Derick." My mother exclaims. "My daughter can learn much from you." She says with a smile. 

Finally dinners over and I'm home in my room. what a nightmare that was I think to myself. I so have to find a way to get out of marrying Derick. He's a down right idiot. If my mother thinks im settling for him, she's surely mistaken. I just can't let that happen, I can't.

I need a night walk. I run over to my closet to change into my red and white striped top, and my white panda shorts. Of course I sneak out my window again. I'm never allowed to wonder around outside at this time of night, for all my parents know im in bed asleep. Of course what they don't know can't hurt them. I quickly jump out the window as I go to start my walk, leaving today's horrible events behind me.

So.. a love triangle? Juicy.. hehe. I get the feel of reading 18th century novel when I read this. And I just love (or hate?) The mother's character. The story is going good. Keep writing.
