Chapter 160: Can’t avoid him
Jubilee’s face went pale when she saw Zoltana’s Expression change. The maid had offended Cedric. "She was dumb enough to attempt to give the prince a love potion." She clicked her tongue putting two and two together.
"This is the result of her stupidity, that being said. You will all be given a lecture about the rules, and no one will leave here until everyone gets it into their head, and as a bonus, no breakfast for everyone." Selena’s words were the law here.
"Isn’t she a new maid?" A maid close to jubilee asked her friend. "Yeah, she was hired during the autumn." The friend answered.
"That explains why she was dumb enough to do something so stupid. What does she think she is? A maid having an affair with a prince and not just any prince but Cedric. She wasn’t here to see what happened to the last one." She whispered as the conversation went on.
"She had stupid dreams, I guess, but are you not curious what the prince might look like."
"At the expense of my life. I think it will be a hard pass. I have siblings to feed, and my only brother plans on furthering his education. I can’t afford to do anything stupid. My mother is barely coping." The other chimed.
"Well, I guess he is handsome from what an old maid from the main palace told me. As a child, it was said he looked like a fragile doll prettier than even the queen." The maid’s words were so hilarious that everyone who was overhearing the conversation felt like laughing only if they knew that despite Eleanor being described as one of the best beauties in Darconia, Cedric, as a child before his features got masculine, was prettier than Eleanor.

What happened that morning was etched into all the maids mind. No one thought of resigning because the wages were way better than serving other homes.
