3. Singing in the Shower

“Why can’t the prince leave us to our jobs?” The maids whispered to each other as Lianne swept the hallways with a soft broom. She had one hand behind her back as she collected the dust in a corner.

 

“Perhaps it’s a ploy to get us to forgive him.” One said with a glare.

 

“Kindness will never be present in a murderer!” Another said.

 

“Shush! He might hear you!”

 

I already have, Lianne mentally answered as she runs off to find a dustpan. Once she does she goes back to collect the dirt. Frowning, she lazily dumps it on the trash bin and sighs. She mentally lists all that she has done today.

 

I helped the maids in tidying up the castle

 

Also in fixing a lot of things

 

What else?

 

She takes a deep breath. What now? The castle is cleaned and it’s not even lunch yet. She shrugged her shoulders and raised her arm to catch a quick sniff of herself. I stink. She grimaced, wiping the sweat off her forehead.

 

“Should I freshen up for the princess?” She asked herself.

 

“I think you should,” Lianne jumped and kicked the source of the voice. Said owner groaned in pain and clenched their stomach on which Lianne’s kick had landed. She glared when she saw who the perpetrator was.

 

“Do you seriously do anything but scare people?!” She yelled angrily. The owner released a horse laugh.

 

Not hoarse but HORSE.

 

The owner revealed itself. Armed with a mischievous but pain filled grin, it revealed its horse face. Save for his half man body, he would probably look like a handsome black horse.

 

“You’re pretty damn useless you know that?” Lianne grunted as she stormed off, leaving a half-man half-horse smirking as he watched her disappearing to the hallways of the palace.

 

Moments later Lenalee ran in a rush towards Lianne’s quarters. Sweat covering her face, she gasped as she stumbled on a corner.

 

“Prince Rooooy!” she yelled as frantically knocked on the door. “The Princess arrived!”

 

No response

 

“Prince Roooy!” Lenalee cried again as she opened the doors with her master key. “Pardon me but this is urgent!”

 

“Hey I just met you and this is crazy!” Lenalee heard. She gasped as pop music obviously echoes through the bathroom tiles.

 

The Prince is listening to 21^st Century music again! She thought as she yelled yet again but the nature of her soft voice prevented her from reaching Lianne’s ears.

 

“Prince Rooy! Princess Catherine’s going to settle down in your room!” She cried as she dragged herself on the floor. “Prince Roooooooy!”

 

Giving up, Lenalee ran off to try to inform the Princess. It’s my duty to make sure Prince Roy won’t be shamed! She thought, determined, I must not let the Princess hear the Prince sing!

Author's Note

The horseman you see here is actually a Tikbalang, all I know is that they scare people. Tell me if you know more hahaha...

About Prince Roy singing Call Me Maybe... It's been a kind of a disease here and everyone's singing it... I know it's weird to have 7 Centuries later and have them sing the same song

Anyway I'd love to have critical reviews as I haven't revised this story yet
