The Royal Misfit

Elder Queen Mother

Selena POV:

I was halfly asleep as I could hear a persisting knock on the door.

I searched for a pillow on the bed restlessly and grabbed it, using it to cover my head to block out the noise but the knock became more annoying.

I immediately sat up with a scrowl, got up, walked all the way to the door and opened it to see a maiden also having an irritated expression and in seconds my scrowl left my face.

"What are you, the sleeping dead?" She questioned with an arrogant tone. I couldn't even reply to such rude attitude towards me.

"Take, this are your bathing accessories. At least try smelling more better than old rags and wood dust." She told me placing a medium bucket which had a cover on the floor and left.

I sighed with a heavy heart and picked up the bucket closing the door. "How disrespectful." I muttered out.

I turned around as my room came into a nice view this morning because of the bright morning sky.

The room isn't that bad. I smiled. It had a green capet ground, a standing mirror if I might assume, it was close to a clothing wardrobe. A reading table and chair close to the window. I looked left to see a brown door in the room, I'm guessing that's the bathroom.

I walked up to it with the bathing bucket and opened the door to see a small bathtub. The bathroom was very nice and of standards. It had the baby blue colour.

I walked up to the bathing tub and turned it on for a warm bath. I immediately removed my clothes and stepped in to take a refreshing bath as I open the bathing bucket to see sponge, a toothbrush, foot scrub, bathing glooves, hair conditioner, shower cap, and with an orange bathing soap.

Shit I'm not a lover of oranges especially the soap scent. I groaned and stepped out of the bathtub and walked into the room naked as I quickly searched my bags for my lavender soap and quickly walked back into the bathroom, then I began to take my bath.

This is much better. I told myself proudly.

I was finally done taking my bath as I got dressed in one of my mum's dress she sewed for me. And that's when I realised that beside my bed was a makeup mirror, with a table set and a chair.

"Nice one." I grinned out and walked up to it and sat down on the chair now staring at the mirror.

There was a face powder, body lotion, body oil, body spray, an eye mascara and eye liner. And the most annoying thing of all was that the product where all orange sample. Very good makeup set placed on the table but why does it have to be an orange product, oh I forgot to mention that a brush, comb and lip gloss laying on the table.

I picked up the lips gloss staring at the product. Thank goodness this was a strawberry product.

I didn't make use of the following makeup accessories on the table since they were all orange product so I brought out my body spray, oil and lotion making use of them. Scenting like lavender is my favourite kind of smell.

I put on my flat cover shoes and left the room to see a maiden was standing in front of my door waiting for me.

"Took you long enough," said the maiden with a calm vioce. I just stared at her perplexed for a minute.

She wasn't rude to me, she hand no irritated or annoyed expression on her face. She was just blank and expressionless at least she ain't rude to me so it's cool.

"The name is Anna, you personally maiden. You'll be having dinner with Sire in the evening alone but for breakfast you'll be having it with the elder queen mother known as Mrs Victoria. Do your absolute best to please the both." She told me as I followed her from behind through the hallway and then we stopped at another big door.

I was fully engrossed on the information she delivered and didn't notice the hallway we passed to get to the front of this door.

" This is the north wing side of the castle. Where you'll take breakfast, lunch and dinner with the royal family. Present at the wing side, there's the throne room, Mrs Victoria's room, a library room, a painting room, a permanent store and other different types of room present on the north side wing. Now you may step in," she lastly said opening the door and left.

I gradually stepped in closing the door behind be as I turned to see a big dinning hall with a long dinning table containing 6 chairs by either side of the table and 2 by the breath of the table.

Wow. I wondered. Walking closer to the table I saw a woman in her 50's sitting by the breath of the table with a stern face.

I guess this is where the battle starts.

I walked up to her standing by her left hand side with a genuine smile. "Good morning your grace." I greeted while bowing my head.

Shit I just flopped my greetings. I raised my head with an embarrassed expression and then she chuckled lighty which almost made my eyes sockets leave its hole.

Did she just chuckled?

"No need for such formalities young lady, take a sit." She told me warmly as my uneasy heart relaxed a bit

I took a sit beside her and stared at her still perplexed. This was not what I was expecting.

"You can call me ma'am Victoria. So how old are you?" She asked.

"I'm 21. I meant I just turned 21." I answered and grinned nervously as she nodded her head.

"Now put yourself in a situation out of the royal arrangements. If you were to get married to a wealthy man what's your contribution as his wife?" She queried inquisitively waiting for my answers.

"With all honesty I haven't put myself in a situations such as marriage. My feature was to be an independent woman of virtue but If I was to get married to such a man. I will also want to be the backbone of such relationship, I want to be able to assist financially, I want us to rub our soul and mind in building ourselves up. This is what I've come to conclusions with but I doubt I'm ready for such journey." I told her sincerely.

She smirked. "Then get ready, be ready. With such accurate conclusions of yours, that's what I require from you as part of the royal household. Be the backbone of our cultural ethnicity, assist and help your soon wedded husband. You both should rub your mind and soul and achieve greatness for the fulfillment of Florida Kingdom as a whole. This is all I require from you." She told me with admirations in her eyes staring at me and the feature unseen.

I guess there's no way out of this. I heaved a sigh looking at my hands on my hips.

"And kids." She blurted out as I snapped my head towards her once more.

"Yes I want grandchildren from the both of you. You seem quite intelligent and very matured. My grandchildren coming from your worm will be the best." She told be with a big delusional smile as I at blinked at her in shock.

How does that even matter? I haven't even met her son yet and she's thinking of providing her with babies.

This is not the type of Elder Queen mothers I read in novels.

With all honesty I've picked a liking to her gestures unconsciously. She smiled and told me to eat as she left the dinning hall and I began to download the bread and egg with honey tea.

The next person to deal with, is The Sire. The king of this castle and Florida Kingdom.
