Chapter 236: First Life. Alice. (3)
Princess Chambers.
The castle, Springton.
**************
A couple of minutes later, the court was adjourned as they decided to watch for the prince’s next move before they took decisive action against him and his kingdom. Alice had remained silent all through after getting what she wanted most.
She ran into her private chambers and shut the door. "Harley!" she called out. Her weight jumped and giggled as she waited. "Harley! You won’t believe what happened" she squealed the minute her eyes fell on Harley.
"I already know my lady" the maid materialized from a section of the room holding up another dress for Alice to change into "You will be seeing Springton in spring" she said with a smile.
Alice just stood there, mouth wide open, in awe of how her little maid came to know of something that had just happened a couple of minutes ago. Half the time, she suspected that Harley was a witch in disguise because this was too much.
"Palace gossip my Lady" Harley said as she smoothed the new dress on the chair next to Alice’s bed. "Never underestimate it" she warned when she noticed Alice’s suspicious gaze.
"Oh yes," Alice snapped out of her shock and went back to smiling gleefully. She twirled around the expanse of her room and Harley just watched her doing it "I am so happy" she confessed.
"I heard Conrad will be coming too" it was Alice’s turn to surprise Harley with information and Harley wanted to pinch her lady and best friend for getting like that over a glorified knight even though she knew she didn’t appreciate him.
"Who cares about Conrad?" Harley brushed past Alice as she began to lose the dress from Alice, "We will get to see spring as it rises over Springton" , her own concern.
