" I am sorry my Queen" she gulped her own saliva and knelt down, " I was busy before you called " she almost cried.
A harsh slap was sent across her , despite the sting she felt , she didn't dare raise her hand to touch were she was slapped . " next time whenever I send for you,you won't keep me waiting" Belle nodded her head like a lamb.
" why do you become more beautiful every passing day ? " she queen stared at her in disgust. " how will it feel to loose your beautiful face" she lifted Belle face with her finger under Belle chin piercing her with her finger nails.
Before she could say more a knock was heard ," come in " queen Olivia commanded letting go of Belle.
A guard walked in ," The king ask to see you " he bowed before leaving.
Olivia walked out of the room but Belle stayed back until she had left .she walked into the throne hall to find the Lord of slayers also standing there . When he saw her he didn't bow neither did he say a word of greeting and that made her hate him more .
" Richard here asked for one of the maid here named Belle to be his personal maid " the king started and pointed at the lord of slayers as he spoke while a frown settled on Queen Olivia's face .
" she is my personal maid already " she said but avoided looking at Richard.
" if she is your personal maid,she was meant to serve you only and not to clean the palace everyday" He stared at her .
" ok you can take her , why was I even called here in the first place ? " she asked .
" we only wanted to take permission from the greatest queen" Richard said in a mocking tone and slowly walked towards were she stood. He stretched out his hand and she was startled but placed her palm on his , he slowly bent his head and kissed her knuckles.the coldness of his lip sent shivers down her spine before he walked out.
" I am tired of him staying here" she complained.
" we only found out that he was able to keep himself controlled this few days so we can't let him out now until we are sure that that he is able to control himself and who is this Belle he wants to be his maid " King Drago descended from his throne .
" she just a maid like others but I just can't stand him "
" you have to "
The next day all maids gathered after breakfast to hear their duty for that day , " Belle you are now the lord personal maid" the Head maid read and other maids started whispering.
" silence !" she shouted and everyone became quiet, " to work now " she commanded Belle who slowly made her way to the lord chamber .
She was lost in thought, what if he made her his maid so he could punish her for walking into him yesterday .
" holy mother of snakes and dragons please save me " , she knew what to do , " first I will plead with him to let me write to mother and father before he kills me or I will lay down on the floor asking for mercy am too young to die " she said as she quickened her steps .
when she arrived at the door the guards let her in , ' what did he need the guards for when he could protect himself ? ' she asked herself ' oh Belle learn to mind your business as mother taught you ' she scolded herself.
Immediately she went in all she had in mind to say disappeared and fear took over , " g ...g...good..good morning my lord " she said in a shaky voice as she bowed .
" rise " he said and she did , he had a grey long hair , well structured face , ' maybe creator took his time while creating this man whose eyes was scanning through the book he held . he raised his head and pointed at the brush and she quickly picked it.
Through the color of his hair she already knew that he was a white dragon , a very powerful one just like the queen Olivia but she wasn't as powerful as he was .
Belle could remember what her mother her told her about white dragons , they had the blood of creator in their veins, they commanded so much respect but they were few .
