“Ahhh, really?” Dove stepped aside so Princess Alice could move forward. “I think he deserves such a greeting.”
She didn’t know how they were having a conversation like this, her and the princess. She hoped Her Highness enjoyed it as much as she was.

Dove began guiding the horse over to the gated entrance to the manor. She gasped, a blush rising in her cheeks. “Your Highness! I would, yes, but I could never accept such a thing, not from you. Why would you offer that to someone like me?”

@Tired-but-passionate

She had to look away for a moment. “It would be… such a great privilege and honor. But I am just a servant. I am not important enough, nor am I close enough with you. Wouldn’t it be rather selfish to go with you on your horse?”

@Tired-but-passionate

Ah, why was she blushing so much? Dove blinked, almost having a mini heart attack when she heard the princess call her by her name. “You’re— you’re too kind, princess. I suppose I can only accept, then.” She went up to the gate and opened it for Alice.

@Tired-but-passionate

Dove’s face was the color of cherries now, and her heart pounded like a drum. “Then of course I accept!” she said, “Though I’m afraid it cannot be today. But someday, I think I would like it very much.” She returned the smile as best she could.

Dove just could not register the fact that the princess was calling her ‘darling’ and ‘dear’ like she had known her for years. “Um… uh…” she had lost her words for a moment. She could not think. “Maybe… uh, this weekend?” She managed to say. “The duchess and young masters should be out of the house then…”

@Tired-but-passionate

“Um, sure!” She laughed nervously, waving her off. “No, no, it’s alright. I should… I should like to get to know you better, Your Highness.”

@Tired-but-passionate

Dove nodded. “Yes. I think I have something like that on hand…”
She was already thinking into the future, planning ahead. She would have to get enough chores done so that nobody would question anything. Hopefully the princess would come sometime later in the afternoon, so her stepfamily would already be gone…

@Tired-but-passionate

She smiled back and waved goodbye. “I shall see you then, Your Highness.” Then Dove turned and walked back to the house’s back door, so she would’ve unseen.

When the weekend came, andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) and Michael were still angry. It seemed they had been angry ever since Princess Alice left their manor, and Dove had to suffer the consequences. She sat in her room, which was really just the small, dingy attic, trying to treat the bruises and sores her stepbrothers gave her. She sniffled, trying not to cry. Hopefully she could just hide here until her stepfamily left.
