The next day at 5 am
The doorbell rang at Rose's palace. The sound of Ella come from outside the door, “Queen .... Queen Wake up.” Rose wake up at the sound of Ella... she somehow get up and open the door.
Ella come inside quickly, “Empress I'm sorry but there is bad news for you.”
“Bad news? What's the news?”
“King has ordered you to come for breakfast for him and the dancer chief Flora.”
“Oh OK ... I immediately wrap up and go to the dining room”
“What ... Queen, what are you talking about? You are a maid who will go to the dancer to serve them breakfast? How can King tell you this work?”
Rose smiles sweetly and pats Ella's back, “Don't worry about me ... I have made an agreement with King that if I remain his slave, he will not touch me.”
Ella was numb, “Queen, why did you do that? If your family get to know this ...”
“We decided to not to tell anyone. You are my maid that’s why I told you. But no one should know about this anytime understand.”
“Yes Queen ...”
After some time.... King Stone is sitting on his chair in the king's dining room ... Flora dancer sitting next to him. She talk with him lovingly when Rose comes there with bowls of delicious breakfast. Looking at her Flora suddenly stands up and respectfully bows down in front of her, “Salaam Queen ...”
Rose smiles and accepts the greeting.... King Stone says angrily in a cold voice, “Flora, you don't have to greet her”
“But King.. She is Queen”
King Stone smiles, grabs Flora's hand and pulls her to sit next to him, “She's just a queen by name ... I don't like her. I love you more than her.”
“Really ...”
“Absolutely ... I called her to serve us today. Let's go Ros...” Rose, King Stone got stunned for a moment. King Stone recovers quickly, “I mean Bethany ... Bethany serve us and yes serve properly otherwise you will get punishment.”
Rose slowly lowered her neck without saying anything ...and serve both of them carefully ... and go to stand aside. Flora feels uncomfortable and look towards Rose and then at King Stone and he punch on table angrily, “Flora, didn't tell you to take her as a maid ... then why are you still sitting so uncomfortable? Let’s eat now.”
“Yes. King.”
After breakfast, King Stone gets up from the square ... He helps Flora to get up with his hands, “You are very good King ...”
“But some people thinks me cruel.”
“Oh God, who are those idiots who call you cruel ...”
King Stone smiles and looks at Rose ... Rose just stand with her head down without saying anything. King Stone sighs desperately seeing that she is not feeling jealous. He slowly walks towards Rose and touching her chin he make her face towards him, “go and get ready ... today you are going to see your father.” Rose smiles happily and shakes her head.
“No need to be so happy .... I am taking you because father called me. i didn't want to take you. Understand...”
“Yes King ... I will go and get ready.” Rose starts to go ... King Stone grabs her hand. Rose turns around in surprise. King Stone laughs, “Pick up those dishes, clean it all and then go to ready.”
“Yes King...”
“Let's go Flora, let’s walk to garden.” King Stone grabs Flora's hand and walks away ... Rose sadly starts to pick up the plates. King Stone and Flora are walking in the garden. Flora sees that King Stone is smiling to himself, “King, what happened? Why are you laughing?”
King Stone didn't even pay attention to Flora. He is thinking in his mind, “Rose is really something special ...”
“King, tell me why you are laughing so much”
“nothing just like that” he remember that how Rose stood up without any complaint and done all the work he asked to her ... King Stone says in his mind, “She's very straightforward and simple ... No, what I'm thinking. How can someone be so straightforward? She pretends to be good, of course. I want to test her and see if her goodness is true or drama.”
King Stone stand next to the buggy at the door of the palace. After a while, Rose come running there with a simple but nice look and screaming, “I'm ready ...”
“You are the queen. Not a little girl.”
“Means... I don't understand.”
“Why are you running around shouting like this?”
Rose make a face feeling upset, “What nonsense ... so what happened with just running?”
Buggy driver bows and salutes both, “King, Queen... Buggy is ready ... please sit inside.”
“Thank you”
King Stone and the buggy driver both look at Rose in amazement. King Stone says in his mind, “she is full of humanity ... does she thank the buggy driver?”
“No need to say thank you Queen... that’s my work ...”
Rose laughs sweetly, “But you are doing this work for us and it takes a lot of effort ... thank you for all that.”
The buggy driver got happy and his cheeks turn red... He quickly opens the door of the buggy ... King Stone is watching all this. Rose talk to the buggy driver with very sweet smile. “Why she is laughing so much ... she is my wife and how can she talk to any ordinary person in front of me.”
King Stone angrily grabs Rose's hand and pushes her into the buggy ... Rose screams, “Aa... King, leave my hand. Why are you doing this...? Aa ...” King Stone drops Rose's hand and gets into the buggy ... he looks at the buggy driver in anger, “Let's go to the main palace.”
“Yes King.” The buggy driver starts driving the buggy quickly.... King Stone look at Rose and she look at him angrily, “keep your eyes down maid.”
“First tell me what is the meaning of your behavior ....I listen to your every command then why did you touch me.”
King Stone turns his fist in anger, “seems like you don’t love your life... one more word and I will throw you out from this buggy... Understand...”
Rose looks down. She says in her mind, “why suddenly he got so angry ... this cruel king will not waste even a minute to think before killing his wife ... do I have to live all life in this time as a cruel king’s toy.” Rose blinks sadly...
