Chapter 5: Siblings?

I slowly turned around and saw a beautiful woman. Her face was porcelain white which made her look like a living doll. Her pitch black hair was beautifully braided into a bun while her light victorian dress with the mesmerizing embroidery hugged her petite body perfectly.

"I asked who you are" She repeated her words while slightly rising her voice at me.

"Emma" I breathed out nervously before gulping and fiddling with my hands.

"Never heard this name in our castle before"

She arched an eyebrow while her eyes travelled from my nervous face down to my body which was still covered in my old pajamas. I shut my eyes in embarrassment while thinking about a way to get out of this situation.

"I'm not sure how to explain this because no one here seems to believe me but I somehow ended up in this castle and I'm searching for a way out. Please believe me, I don't want to harm any body." I replied calmly, trying my best to sound genuine while impatiently playing with my fingers.

"Come with me" She answered before elegantly turning on her heels and leaving me behind. I breathed out and took a moment to collect myself before following her.

Two beautifully dressed ladies opened the door for her and I couldn't believe my eyes when I stepped inside the grand and majestic room.

"This is my Chamber." She turned around and looked calmly at me.

I nodded "It's very beautiful" I replied while my eyes curiously travelled around the big room, decorated with beautiful and colorful flowers which made the room painted like a forbidden garden.

"I want you to be my loyal handmaid and my confidant" She suddenly said and my eyes widened. What?

"You don't even know me" I said nervously praying for this all to be a nightmare before biting on my lips and looking up at her again.

"I will find everything out about you but something in me says that you could master that perfectly, I can see it in your eyes and I will trust my gut, it never disappointed me. I will give you two ways and you can choose either one. You either accept to be my handmaid or to be killed because you snuggled yourself into this castle which is a this sin that ends deadly. It's your choice to make."

I could feel how my soul left my cold trembling body. Little sweat drops rolled down my temples and my throat felt dry and burnt every time I gulped down

I do not belong to here, this is ridiculous!

She doesn't even know me, how can she trust me?

Suddenly the door crashed open and a tall, well built boy stepped in and made me flinch.

"Yah Sissy! Royal highness brother is searching for you" He casually walked in while all the women gasped and glanced our way.

His royal garment which was printed with beautiful golden designs along with his light brown perfectly combed hair made me shiver.

"Yah sissy?! Didn't I told you to be respectful with your older sister you!" She grabbed his ear which made him scream in pain while holding her wrist.

Royal highness?! These are the King's siblings?

I felt dizzy while watching them argue with one another. Nobody would ever believe me that a small door was capable of something like that. I don't even know what kind of a witch craft this door was holding inside but even the word King was making me uneasy because the more people were seeing me, the higher the possibility of the King finding out about me which meant that. I would get killed?

The maids were shyly laughing at what just happened while covering there mouths with their hands while I was standing here and trembling to my bones at the thought of getting killed.

I rolled my eyes at them before shifting my eyes back to the arguing siblings.

"Princess Ara ,Sis please I won't do that again, I promise" He begged while holding her wrist even tighter. His ear turned already dark red but she didn't let his poor ear go.

"Tell your Royal highness that I have important things to take care of and that I will visit him later.

She pressed out.

"You know that he will get angry" He lifted his eyes to look at her while twisting his face in pain.

"Jake you have two seconds to run out"

She warned him before letting his red ear go and watch him run out of the room.

For a second I found myself smiling at both of them and forgetting where I was before the reality pulled me back to my legs and made my heart race again.

"Sorry for the interruption. Did you decide or should your destiny take over your life dear?" She asked me while slowly walking towards me and staring patiently at my shocked face as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"I will be your handmaid." I gulped down my pride for the sake of m safety. "Your highness."

I added and lifted my eyes.
