Chapter 175 A Prisoner here in Jennova? (1/2)

I sat down in front of a coffee table near the fire place. I was a little conscious because I was still wearing a sleeping gown while in front of the Queen of Jennova.

”You, help the princess get dressed while waiting for her food to arrive.” Queen Patricia ordered one of the maids that were in waiting.

”Yes your majesty.” The maid replied and bowed. ”Right this way princess.” The maid gestured.

I got up and followed the maid towards a door found inside the room. Once I entered my eyes went wide with surprise.

The room was filled with different kinds of dresses, shoes, jewelries and hair ornaments for ladies. They were arranged neatly by category. I have heard about walk in closets because my step sisters and step mother was said to have them in their rooms back in the Alvannian Palace. But this is my first time seeing and walking in to one because I never had one of this rooms before in my palace.

”What would you like to wear princess?” The maid asked. ”I will be here to assist you in changing your clothes.” She said with a respectful tone.

”Will it be alright for me to use such beautiful clothes?” I asked. For sure these clothes and accessories are the queen's.

”It will be no problem princess because everything you see here is all yours.” The maid said.

”A-All of this is mine?!” I was shocked.

”Yes princess. The queen has specifically bought and filled this room with the things you will need while living here in Jennova.” The maid answered in a calm tone.

”Living here?” I asked in confusion. 'They want me to live here? Even if they buy me such exquisite and expensive things, I will still look at myself as a prisoner forced to stay here.' I thought to myself.

I look around and touch the dresses that were all lined up. The touch of the fabric in each and every dress feels exquisite. The dresses are all designed gorgeously. The jewelries and hair accessories looked expensive. Even the shoes are designed beautifully.

”Can you pick me a simple dress to wear for now?” I asked the maid.

”Of course princess.” The maid bowed and left to find the things I need to wear for the day.

Once she came back, she was carrying a light pink dress with a simple design together with a pair of boots to match. The dress had long sleeves and the seams are lined up with white fur made for cold weather. The maid helped me to wash my body first before putting on the dress.

After that, the maid helped me with my hair. She braided the front part with pink ribbons while letting my hair flow freely at the back. She also picked simple accessories to compliment the dress I am wearing.

When all of these are done, she assisted me back to the room. Upon entering I saw that food was already placed on the table. It was still hot because I can see the steam rising up from the food.

Queen Patricia looked back when she heard me entering and gave me a warm smile. ”Come sit and eat. I am sure you are quite hungry.”

After hearing the word hungry and looking at the food on the table, my stomach grumbled in agreement. I was ashamed and looked shyly around, looking if the people heard my stomach grumble just now.

The maids maintained their expressionless face so I sighed quietly in relief. I walked towards the table and sat down opposite the queen.
