"Enter." she says before storing her brush

"Your Highness, the dinner is ready." Alexa says

"Understood, I am coming." she says getting up and leaving her bedroom. She arrives in the dining room and sits in her place. The room was huge, and Elmira was the only one eating there, it seems solitary, but she got
used to it. Alexa stays near the room in order to let Elmira eat peacefully and let her use bell to summon her in case of problem.

The dish of the evening is a sumptuous cut and deboned fish with a delicious sauce and some vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and peas.

She eats slowly. Although it's tasty, Elmira keeps her neutral face. Since the death of her parents, she eats alone at every meal and all the pressure about the fate of the kingdom is on her shoulders. Plus, the food doesn't have the same taste as before, even if it isn't yucky. As she has many lessons tomorrow, Elmira decides to eat her food a little faster.


Meanwhile in another room:


"There are your new clothes with underwear and socks. You can keep your original clothes for the moment, but you will wear the ones given to you from now on starting tomorrow." Bethany explains by putting your clothes in a dollhouse very similar to your home.

"Okay, thanks. But can I ask you, Lady Bethany?" you say, intimidated by what she can do to you.

"Good boy. Now, what is your question?" she answers.

"Is it right that your princess will own me, I mean because of the law? I-I don't mean she is doing something bad but, isn't it illegal to own tinies? I don't want to insult you or your great sovereign, I only just heard it from Jen." you say shaking, you aren't sure if she will hurt you after that remark.

"Well, yes and no. A few planets in this system forbid it but not all of them, ours is in the grey area. A very few Onkus buy them on this planet because the majority prefer normal-sized people. Tinies are usually only seen as toys or food. Since it is frowned upon, they do it quietly. You are lucky to have interesting characteristics in order for me to pay enough to get you. I heard Jen eats all tinies she isn't able to sell, and they painfully melt alive in her stomach." Bethany says

"Oh, (gulp) I see. But, last thing, how do you have children if your species is consisted only consisted of females?" you ask by curiousity

"For this, we go to other planets in order to seek partners for reproduction, mainly non-humans. As our powers and culture easily interests other species; we don't have problems with this. Many of them prefer to stay here than
go back home and it pleases a lot of Onkus. Even if I would like, we always get girls, never boys but we can't change nature." she says a little sad

"I understand too, it is unfortunate. But thanks for teaching many things about your planet, Lady Bethany." you say normally but still afraid

"I appreciate it, but you still don't know where you are, so listen well. We are on the planet Taloma, in a country named Aldacia, the biggest on our planet. Our princess is our greatest pride, and it is a huge honor to serve her, I will help her as much as I can to make her a great queen." she says very proudly, but with serious and respectable face. She doesn't smile but you suppose she loves her job as a devoted maid.

"And that's why you will obey to all her orders, even if you don't like it. Or she will punish you severely, so behave and make sure to cheer her up." she adds

"Y-yes Madam. She is my mistress, and I am only her pet." you say even if you wouldn't like to say it but you don't want to die by her hands. You aren't sure if Elmira is really gentle as she said, so you obey without complaining.

Then she puts you in a very pretty blue chest with beautiful emeralds and closes it. She puts it on a service wagon with the dollhouse and waits until Elmira goes back to her bedroom.


Return to the dining room:


Elmira finishes her meal. Then, she rings the bell to call Alexa.

"Yes your Majesty?" she says kindly.

"I'm finished, thanks for the meal. Clear the table and don't bother me until tomorrow. Tell this to other servants."
Elmira says calmly

"Understood, have a good night." Alexa says recovering the crockery.

The princess goes back to her bedroom and, turns on the light, pulls her curtains and sits down on her bed. Now the twilight sky is almost completely dark. As she has many lessons tomorrow, she doesn't know if it is is a good idea to play a little instead of going right to sleep. But suddenly, someone knocks the door.

"Leave me alone, I said I don't want to be bothered until tomorrow." she says without being angry despite her order

"It won't be long, I promise your Majesty. I have something for you, I think you will be fine after you see what it is. So, can you let me enter please?" Bethany asks behind the door.
