When the king and prince's motion for me to come I see that the open carriage has been replaced by 2 closed carriages and I feel a hand on my shoulder leading me to one of the carriages. Prince Blaine opens the door and let's me step inside.
"I'm sorry that you didn't get to say goodbye to your family I would introduce myself but I think you know who I am. The question is Who. Are. You?" Prince Blaine says as he sits down.
"Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, and it's fine my whole family is dead, Prince Blaine."
"Beautiful name, how did you get the burn on your left side. How is everyone dead? And please just call me Blaine."
"Well fine then Pr-Blaine, I got the burns when I was 8 in the fire that took my mother from me and my father died about 3 hours ago."
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine." I say and for half of the ride there's only silence which falls when I say:
"I don't know the first thing about being a servant."
"Well let me tell you some things about it. Because you're my servant you will accompany me everywhere unless I tell you otherwise, you help me with my clothes, make my bed, at dinner you'll have to stand next to my chair because the table is long and mostly it's just 3 people dining, so you'll get food too." Blaine says.
"I don't want to bring you to disgrace." I say.
"You won't I can see you have good manners by the way you carry yourself and the way you speak, you were brought up well."
"I wasn't always so poor but when my mother died we lost the better house and money she brought in so I couldn't go to school anymore."
"Can you read and write?"
"Yes one of the few people in the village that had the privilege of going to school. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"Do you like Sebastian, he looks like such a pig."
"I don't love him, not even like but my father arranged the wedding so we can have an allegiance with Dalton. Sebastian isn't the crown prince, his older brother Jeff is."
"Oh is that prince Jeff who married prince Nick last year?" "How do you know that?"
"That was one of the only papers that reached Hallis last year. I also heard that they were threatened by Lord Karosky to step down because 2 men supposed to be together."
"You hear a lot for a commoner."
"Yes well I have a good relationship with duke Puck and duchess Quinn."
"How did that happen?"
"Quinn got pregnant when I was 13 and I was helping healer Emma when she came in and I helped her give birth to her daughter Beth and because they had to travel a lot they left Beth with me and to reward me they gave me books and papers to write. Quinn even thought me how to play the piano and tried to give me one but it didn't fit in my house. I was really good with Beth." I said.
"Until when did you do that?" Blaine asked. "Until you took me away I hope that Carole will explain it to Quinn."
"I'm sorry again but wow. So you are good with kids?"
"I would certainly hope so seeing I'm a carrier." I say making Blaine's eyes widen.
"You are, don't carries usually have a special sign?"
"I do but it's easily hidden." I say as I pull my right sleeve down showing him the C on my shoulder.
"We'll be arriving at the palace soon." Blaine says. Making me look out the windows, we can't see the palace from Hallis, I've always wondered what it looked like.
"Do you have any sibilings?" I ask still looking out of the window.
"An older brother and a younger brother and sister."
"Aren't you supposed to become king?" I ask.
"Yes but only because Cooper refuses to and I don't want that burden on Darren or Lacey."
"Oh there it is!" I almost yell as I see the palace. I say as I fell the carriage stop. I stand up and open the door and step out holding a hand for Blaine to take.
"Thank you, not a bad start, Kurt." Blaine says.
