Prince Erland had already left the kingdom, and now Alice's heart felt empty. In fact, in front of him many servants, and also a lot of work, but still Alice felt a sense of silence because her mind was only on the Prince.
The king gives Alice orders to serve Ruby while in the kingdom. Erland is not there.
Hearing that, Alice's heart ached, but she was just a servant who could not argue. She also meets Ruby to be the maid of the girl as long as the Prince leaves the kingdom.
“You are his personal servant Prince Erland, ‘right? You must know a lot about Prince?” guess Ruby as Alice stands right in front of her.
The lover of Prince Erland nodded and greeted him. Alice then introduces herself and says that she is ready to serve Ruby with all her heart.
“If you need any help, do not hesitate to call me,” said Alice after introducing herself to Ruby.
Ruby smiled kindly. It is far from Alice's estimation that Ruby was a proud noble princess. In fact, the woman even invited him to sit together.
“Take it easy, Alice. I want to be friends with you so that I can know a lot about this palace,” said Ruby who looks sincerely want to establish a good relationship with Alice.
Ruby clearly knew that Alice was close to the Prince of Erland, and that it would definitely be beneficial because she could know more deeply about the crown prince.
Ever since the King ordered Alice to serve Ruby, Alice's mind had to open up.
Ruby is a noble daughter of a neighboring country. In fact, rumors in the kingdom had already hinted that the woman who would be the empress candidate, also increasingly made Alice think of ways to stay away from the Prince.
Alice sees a lot of difference between herself and Ruby. The way Ruby dresses, the way Ruby eats, the way Ruby walks, and the way Ruby talks also greatly show the differences in social strata between them.
However, until now, Ruby still does not know about the relationship between Alice and Prince Erland. He also still treats Alice as a fellow woman, not as a servant.
“Sometimes you have to teach me how to cook the Prince's favorite food yes,” Ruby said as Alice delivered the food to her room.
The girl looked at Ruby in confusion, and as if she could not believe the words coming out of Ruby's mouth. For Alice to know, a noble princess would live with all the luxuries and conveniences. It was almost impossible for them to get into the kitchen because their focus was only on education and lifestyle as nobles.
“Princess does not need to cook and dirty your hands, because I will continue to cook Prince food and make sure the food is tasty and guaranteed,” Alice replied.
Ruby picked up the plate that Alice brought and again said, “As a future wife, I want to be able to cook my husband's favorite meal later. So that he loves me more. Although you remain his personal servant who will take care of all the Prince's cooking, but I also want to contribute. Moreover, I heard that Prince really likes your cooking. So teach me your recipes, Alice!”
Ruby's words seemed to be a slap for Alice. He increasingly knows his status is not comparable to Ruby even though it may be the prince's only love for her.
It feels very weak to imagine their future. She will remain a servant who will serve the Prince and Ruby when they get married.

The prince finally returned from abroad. He came earlier than scheduled and did not go straight to the King. The prince instead told his bodyguard to call Alice to have her lover come to his room.
Parting for a few days with Alice, of course, made the Prince feel a deep longing. That's why, he wanted to steal a little time to be alone with his lover.
Alice had orders from the Prince delivered by the bodyguards.
“Your Majesty would like to meet now and you must bring the gift that His Majesty entrusted to you. Come quietly because His Majesty does not even know that His Highness the Prince has returned!” said the bodyguard as he delivered a message from Prince Erland.
Alice nodded in understanding. Then, Alice told the bodyguard that she would prepare first.
Now, Alice looked at the dress the Prince had given her. The white dress looks very beautiful and graceful, and will probably make her look like a princess.
“Should I wear this?” muttered Alice while looking at the mirror and put the beautiful dress on her body.
Although the girl wanted to end the relationship with the Prince, but the longing in her heart also could not be covered. Alice finally wore a dress given by Prince Erland, then msmbalut the beautiful dress with the uniform of his servant.
With a firm heart to meet the Prince secretly, Alice walked out of her room. She walked very carefully so that the dress she was covering was nowhere to be seen, and most importantly no one knew she was going to meet the Prince now.
While still on the road to the Prince Erland's private room, Ruby suddenly appeared and greeted him, making Alice immediately stop her steps.
“Alice, where are you going? Can you accompany me on a walk around the palace?”
