Sold to a Prince!-Chapter 59 - Guests At The Castle Part2

Sylvia's bright smile slightly faded at the woman's blatant rudeness but she still tried to put on a brave face.

Ana had obviously taken some sort of disliking to her and she tried to rack her brain and see if she had done something else wrong.

Thankfully, the other maid, Jenny smiled and nodded back at Sylvia, reducing the general awkwardness in the kitchen. "Hello, Sylvia."

Sylvia nodded back feeling grateful to her for not leaving her hanging.

Even Jane couldn't help but notice something weird in the atmosphere, but she quickly reminded the three young women that now was not a time to bicker.

"Girls, you three best behave today evening. Sylvia is new here, but you two should know better."

"Did I or did I not tell you who is the guest today?"

Ana immediately bowed and murmured an apology, that was clearly half-hearted.

"Aish." Jane sighed. She was too tired to lecture these three any longer. She decided to let them experience the terror for themselves.

The four of them quickly got busy preparing the various things and plating the dishes artfully.

It is said that half the taste comes from appearance, so the way everything was arranged was also very important.

Even if one pea was out of the line, this troublesome guest just might chew their head off.

So Jane oversaw everything with extra care.

The bunch of them took an entire hour to carefully get things done and the trolley was finally filled to the brim with multiple servings of various delicacies.

"Alright, it's time. Let's get moving."

Jane wiped the sweat off of her forehead and hurriedly tidied herself up, removing the dirtied apron covering her healthy figure.

"Remember. Always keep your head down. Don't speak until spoken to and try to remain as invisible as possible." She warned them one more time.

Sylvia, Ana, and Jenny nodded, while they removed their aprons as well.

Just like Sylvia, Ana and Jenny also had a slender figure with an ample bosom and a curvy behind.

They were both very young and still unmarried, so they did their best to dress in a captivating manner.

Ana had long wavy auburn hair that beautifully flowed until her back and she wore a simple knee-length lavender dress, showcasing her long legs.

Jenny had jet black hair but they were curly and only shoulder length. She wore a traditional maid's outfit with a black petticoat and frilled white designs on top of it.

Though it was supposed to look neutral and non-sexual, the length of the maid outfit was too short falling well above the knees and the hands were not full-length.

The dress barely had sleeves, making her look extremely sensual and seductive.

All the three young women were not bad looking, including Jane herself who looked rather elegant and beautiful for her age.

But Sylvia clearly stood out without even trying or wearing anything provocative.

Jane took a look at the girls and did not know what to say. Their outfits were fine.

Other castles had more stringent rules and restrictions, including a fixed dress code for the servants, but since Mikel was a bit different, everyone did as they pleased.

In fact, rather than Mikel, the two young maids were actually competing with each other for Theo's affections.

They knew very well that a Prince would probably never marry them in an official way. The difference in their status was a bit too much.

They would only end up losing their virginity to him and getting nothing in return. So the Knight was their best option.

Hence, these two made sure to dress provocatively whenever Theodore was around. They didn't dare to openly flirt with him, but they still dressed in a revealing manner, and flaunted their assets in front of him, hoping that he would notice.

And Mikel typically didn't care about these things.

He had never been interested in women like that and to Theodore's dismay, he didn't prevent the young women from harassing his eyes.

However, tonight was different.

Jane knew very well that these kinds of shenanigans would be a mistake tonight and wearing something like this, in front of the special guest, was only asking for a beating.

"You two, go change into something more respectable." She chased them out. Jane then waved at Sylvia, signaling for her to help her with the trolley.

The two of them started walking over to the main dining room in the big hall, pushing the trolley full of food along with them.

The dining room was quite big and a huge crystal chandelier was hanging from the center of the room, which was the first thing to catch Sylvia's eyes.

It was simply marvelous and looked as if it had layers and layers of diamonds stuck to it.

The room itself was very elegant and regal, with the decorations sparse yet exquisite. There was a central golden and silver theme, making everything sparkle in subtle luxury.

To complement the decor and pull everything together, a few beautiful oil paintings hung on the wall.

They depicted enchanting places and natural beauty rather than portraits of boring old people.

However, Sylvia's eyes still caught the sight of a family portrait in a corner.

There was a man, a woman, and two children, a boy and a girl. The man had a crown on his head, who Sylvia quickly assumed was the King.

Then the woman and the two children were perhaps… Her thoughts trailed as her eyes fell on the young boy, standing next to the slightly older girl.

This… She bit her lips lightly.

The young boy was unmistakably the devil himself! The similarity was obvious!

His younger self looked a lot like Cassius, extremely adorable, cute, and innocent, especially the smile that extended up to his eyes. Google search 𝐟𝓇𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝐛n𝐨ν𝙚𝚕. c𝚘ｍ

Sylvia looked away, not wanting to stare at his stupid mug any longer.

Her gaze shifted to the young girl standing next to him, clearly several years older than him.

"Is this his sister?" She muttered under her breath, wondering if this was the little devil's mother.
