Capítulo 37: Chapter 36
Kingdom of Alba…
Helga's pov;
I have lost count of the days I have spent here in Alba , but if I estimate it has been around a week and a half. I am still using the old lady's son's room as accommodation since I am still not used to this place , the lady has been really patient and understanding with me which kind of makes me want to just crash here longer .
I did find a small job in the market so that I can blend in better with the folks here and plus people at the market gossip a lot so I can get more info on what is going on in the palace and then find my wizard uncle faster.
"Attention people , gather around please" an official attendant of the palace arrives on a horse and catches our attention.
We gather around him in the market place to listen to what he has to say.
"People of Alba , I greet you . Today I am here for recruitment purposes for the palace" he states . The palace? Oh this will be good.
"We need more female maids to work in the palace at the Queen's disposal more specifically, so if we can have volunteers who would be interested or slaves who can be sold to the palace. Let my colleague here know so you can be registered. Thank you for your time , you may now go back to your duties" the attendant leaves but this lady who is here recruiting and of course I am presenting myself .
I mean this is luck smiling at me , don't get me wrong though I am not excited to work as a wretched maid for some boujee ass Queen but if I want to find this wizard uncle of mine and get more views in the events at the palace I will have to infiltrate through this recruitment process.
I quickly make my way to the recruitment lady to present myself, she looks at me and raises her eyebrow as to ask what I want . Rude.
"Uh hello there , my name is Helga and I am very interested in volunteering to go work in the palace" I say enthusiastically to convince her.
"And do you have any experience in doing chores and serving?" She asks .
"Yes of course , I do my own chores and even those of my relatives at times . I am used to taking care of people of all ages and even pets" I exaggerated a bit but what can I do ? And why is she asking many questions? This is supposed to be volunteering, does it really matter if I have experience or not?
It shouldn't be hard to work for a Queen , I've seen plenty on tv and the maids pretty much just attend to the royals and act as assistants , not hard at all.
"Okay then miss Helga , you may wait here , a carriage will come soon to collect all the girls to go to the palace." I nod at her and then proceed to stand by her.
I should probably go tell the old lady who rents me a room that I will be gone and not coming back but if I go right now they will leave without me and I can't possibly miss this chance . So sorry not sorry old lady , you will just have to be worried for who knows how long .
But come to think of it , to her I am a stranger, we are barely acquaintances so why would she care . And why would I care?
The evening came along and many girls were collected by the market place , most of them were slaves owners decided to part way with , others came willingly as they had nothing better to do and were sitting idly.
Two 'carriages' as they call it here , pulled up and all of us were told to make lines to enter .
I went with four other girls and the other one had 4 girls , we were 9 in total going to the palace.
The car ride was kind of long , but okay at least they don't have New York traffic .
Along the way , the girls are who were forced to go to the palace as they were sold kept crying and sympathizing with each other in their current situation, it was pathetic if you ask me . Like it's not the end of the world to work in the palace , they make it seem like it's hell, which I doubt .
It all depends on perspective and your side of the spectrum , if you want to chill just become the powerful person and to become that you need to have my type of character, cold , strong headed and not emotionally attached to people.
As they say , the world belongs to the detached objective people not the sentimental subjective ones. And thank God I am part of the prior group or else I would have lost purpose and I would be crying because I am stuck here , but do I? no. I have my mission and that is to learn more about my magical ancestry and I will certainly not back out now that I know grandma won't tell me anymore than she already did.
"Okay ladies , welcome to the royal palace of king Tobias. The eunuchs will show you to your rooms for now and tomorrow you shall be introduced to your respective roles in the Queen and king's quarters" The recruiting lady says.
We then follow the Eunuchs who I guess are like butlers here , tomorrow the real business starts.
Tobias's pov;
"Okay , I think this is good to go. I have already double checked" I say to Tobryl my best friend and the Duke of my kingdom.
"Great , the pipe system should now be okay , the people will be glad" he smiles and closes the scrolls.
"If there is nothing else my friend I will be excusing myself , I have somewhere to go" I say in a rush.
"And where are you going to in such a hurry Tobias?" he asks cockily. Such a nosy friend I have.
"You sure you want to know?" I tease and he nods eagerly .
"I am going to visit a special someone who happens to be a wife of mine" I say showing him a full set of teeth as he scoffs annoyingly at me , jealousy. *laugh
"Show off" he rolls his eyes and then asks "Which one is it exactly because last time I checked you have a whole harem of women"
"Ethera" I simply say and I don't need to explain because he knows she is a favorite of mine , she has been an intriguing addition to my life ever since I met her. She is full of surprises , I like that.
"Ohh so it's that one , I see" he teases and taps my shoulder.
"Let's go together then , I need to be in company of some females because my bachelor title is starting to weigh on me *sigh" it's true that Tobryl has been single for a long time , he doesn't easily give his heart but the lady who will get it will surely be a gem finding another. I truly wish that for him.
"That is a good idea , let's go" he nods and takes his cape.
"Come to think of it there may be a lady you might love to meet, she is close to Ethera and is really nice" I say remembering Heizel who accompanies Ethera .
"What are we waiting for then? We shouldn't make the ladies wait" he says excitedly and walks fast in front of me .
Ah , what do I do with this desperate lad? *shake my head.
