I was taken down a flight of stairs to my new home where I met the head housekeeper who looked so tough that I was taken back. What's your name, "Lady Natalie Johansen ma'am,"I answered with my head held high,she just laughed out loud at my answer,why is she being mean,I mean what have I done or said that's funny??I asked myself thinking back to my answer, lady... Natalie.. pffffft...im just sorry you are no lady Missie you are just but a slave, you are a servant like the rest of them. I suggest you take that beautiful gown off, wear the garbs and get to work you will be the prince personal maid.

she finished with finality.i was shown my my bunk bed where I would sleep for how long. God if you really love me, please let this debt paying end soon.i was given uniform like everyone else in the palace and I was told by the house keeper that Tonight was my day off, tomorrow first thing in the morning I would start my duties.

mrs. Moore was the housekeeper's name,she organized for my dinner and bath before going back to humiliate other workers or slaves as she called them.

After dinner and my night routine I layed down to get some rest, but sleep took longer this night,I mean I was anxious and in unfamiliar place, hours later the other servants came down to get some rest too....

Later I got to learn that female had separate quarters from males. I closed my eyes tightly and begged my tired mind to sleep. Guess who I dreamt of.....it was the cold hearted monster himself...uuuuurrgh life is so unfair,we can never predict the future, our only hope is for something good to happen and lead a healthy life.

My future looked bleak but I only hoped for fate to pity me,I slept with this thought in my mind anticipating what time would bring.
