Chapter TWO

My head was buzzing loudly, like a thousand bees in a jar.

I could feel all of my body heavy. And then it all went away, that Pain, that I was feeling was gone. In one instance I opened my eyes and screamed:

Emily: NO! I saw that I had ruffled the bed again, but can you blame me? I woke up from a nightmare. At that moment I heard Thomas knocking on the door.

Thomas: Miss! Miss! Are you ok? I am coming in and some people want to see you, are you ok if they come in?

Emily: OK, you can let them in, and you too.

As Thomas opened the door I saw a woman, who had been crying for days, her eyes were puffy red and a man who had a strong scent of whiskey coming from him also looked sad.

At that moment my eyes and his eyes looked placed and his mouth:

Man: Juliet, my Juliet.

I looked confused, I tilted my head, once I was trying to signal Thomas, for him to introduce them to me but he didn't get the hint.

So I popped the question:

Emily: hello, um I don't mean to be rude but may I ask who you people are?

Both the man and the woman looked at each other and then back at me, Thomas also looked confused, yet he came to my bedside and whispered:

Thomas: Miss, they are your parents.

As soon as he said that I looked confused, and thought I had parents.

Emily: But my parents have been dead for over 20 years, there is no way.

Yet Thomas reassured me that they would explain everything to me. As soon as he left my bed side both the man and woman came rushing to it.

Thomas: Master, madam I will leave you to your daughter.

He also left some water next to my bedside, in case I got trusty how thoughtful of him.

Emily: thank you Thomas, have a good day.

He bowed in respect and left the room.

In that moment the woman spoke in a soft tender voice:

Woman: Are you ok? , child these past few days must have been rough.

Emily: Days!! How long have I been out sleeping for!?

Woman: Don't you know it has been a week since you last woke up. so many doctors came in to see what was wrong and nothing.

I could see the horror in their eyes and the relief that ‘I; was ok.

Woman: Do you remember us?

I shook my head to answer her no, she looked shocked, and looked at her husband, (I assume) well i will introduce myself. My name is Alice Von-de Marie

And this here is your father August Von-Dei Martinet

We are the royals of Thailand, the main city.

Emily: Does that mean I am a royal? But how did I grow up in Thailand and was raised by commoners?

How is this possible?

I looked at them and considered them back on my lap.

They saw me looking confused, at that moment, I got up from the bed to walk, their eyes followed me to the balcony and the ‘mother’ spoke:

Alice: When you were born, our kingdom was under attack, and as soon as you were born me and your father held you for a quick moment.

She chuckled with a smile as she said that.

Alice: I could still remember the moment I held you, it was as if all the noise outside was gone and all I could hear was your cry and heartbeat. After I held you your father wrapped you in a blanket, with a small key in the towel and headed out the room doors and then down the stairs, into the kitchen’s back entrance where he gave you to a maid to take care of you.

She stood up from the bed and came close to give me a hug, which I wanted to refuse because anger in me burst. And at that moment, a knock came to the door, i sighed in relive to hear Thomas’s voice:

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Thomas: Master, madam, sorry to interrupt your conversation but Emily’s bandages need to be changed and I have prepared dinner downstairs.

Alice and August looked at each other and then:

August: Well, we will wait for you downstairs, love. Whenever you're ready come, join us for dinner please we would love to have you join us.

They both left the room and then Thomas enters with a female doctor.

Doctor: Can you please come and sit on this chair, so that I could re-dress your wounds?

She gestured towards the chair that was closest to me . As I sat down, Thomas turned around, and started to get my new outfit for dinner ready.

I giggled a bit.

Doctor: Good evening Miss Emily, I am your personal doctor as of now. Can you tell me if you feel pain anywhere else other than where your wound is?

Emily: I just have a slight headache, nothing else. Am what is your name?

Doctor: Well miss my name is Annabelle White.

She smiled at me as she said that.

And she continued to dress my wound, at that time Thomas came to my side to give me water.

Thomas: Here Miss Emily, have some water, and on the bed I have laid out your clothes to wear for dinner. He bowed to me and then exited the room, but I could hear him stopping next to my door. I was thinking that he was waiting for me but I didn't say anything, yet my eyes were glued to the door.

Doctor Anna has finished with my wound, and yet I didn't notice her.

Doctor Anna: Miss Emily, Miss Emily.

And then she shook me

With a surprised face I looked at her, I was shocked at what was going on yet…

Emily: ahh yes! where you calling me.

Doctor Anna: yes miss, what has you so distracted? Do you feel pain anywhere?

Emily: No, I was just in a daze, don't worry, can I please dress now, I’ve gotten quite hungry now?

I smiled, the Doctor packed her things, bowed at me and left the room, leaving extra bandages at my night table.

I got up from the chair and started to dress myself. Thomas has laid out a beautiful red dress, with nice red ruffles at the bottom of the dress.

Emily: Thomas, i know you're out there, can you please come in and zip up the dress for me.

He knocked on the door.

Thomas: Excuse me miss, I am entering your chambers.

I giggled a bit.

Emily: Oh Thomas, how cute can you be?

As i said that i saw him blush from head to toe.

I grind.

Thomas: Miss, please don't tease me.

He said that in a breaking voice.

Emily: ok. I won't, can hurry up and zip me now.

Thomas quickly came to my aid, he touched the zipper so lightly I didn't feel him yet after he was done he also gave a necklace to me, which was so cold, I felt it as it touched my neck and then some parts of my chest. small shivers embraced my body.

Thomas: Are you ok? Miss. you are ready to look in the mirror now. Do you want me to tidy up your hair too?

Emily: oh! ok

I turned around to the mirror on the wall and I gasped, I haven't worn anything beautiful like that since, a while I guess. I sat in front of the mirror, ready for Thomas to do my hair, but he was so calm, and hot looking that my eyes were trailing his every movement from the hands going through my hair to his upper body reflection in the mirror.

And then…

Thomas: Miss, I am all done with you, now I will escort you to the dining hall downstairs, if you don't mind. I nodded as to say yes.
