Good morning every living thing! I breath in the fresh morning air since it is quite early in the morning so the air is still cool. I get up to freshen up. After I washed my face and so on I pick my new outfit. So I have if you count my pink dress to the equation I now own four dresses. I choose a lilac dress from the four dresses. I dress up. After that I tie my hair in a simple low ponytail. Then I put on the rest of my accessories and I am now ready for the day. *knock,knock. Hmm... Who could it be? I walk to the door and open it to see who was knocking it. When I opened it I discover that Atefeh was behind it. 

"Good morning Ally," she greeted. 

"Morning Atefeh," I greet back.

 Atefeh was holding a pouch in her hands. She hands me the pouch. I recive it a tad bit confused. 

 "Um Atefeh, what is this?" I asked her.

  "Your payment dear," she answered.

   "P-Payment?!" I-I get paid? Utter confusement was plastering my face. I mean what?!

    It is not that I am dissapointed. I am truely gratefull. But why in all creation. I look up and down from the pouch to Atefeh. 

  "Alicea" 

  "Yes Atefeh?" "You do know that you are not a slave right?" Atefeh asked me. 

  I nod to Atefeh.

  "Alicea, even though you are in exile you are still free in some manner," Atefeh reminds me. "Really?" I ask her. 

  "Yes Ally. We are not monsters," Atefeh answered. 

  "So uuhh... How much is in this pouch?" I asked more. 

  "Fifty grams of gold cubes," she replied. 

  "FIFty g-grams o-of g-gold?!" I almost shout out. But I was able to save it so that I didn't wake up his majesty. 

  Oh your majesty how generous you are. I smile thinking of him. I thank Atefeh and she goes away. I put the pouch of gold into a drawer under my desk/vanity table. Then I head out for breakfast in the servants cafeteria. When I arrived there I greet the royal cook. He offers to cook breakfast for me. At first I refuse it but he insisted that he cooks breakfast for me. So I gave in. He cooked me a warm bowl of goat cheese tomato soup and fresh flat bread that I could dip it in the soup and hot ginger tea as my drink. 

  "A nice waRm breakfast is the besd way to start the day miss Rouhani," the cook said to me while I was eating. 

  "Really?" I asked. 

  "You don't eat breakfast when you dwhere in yer kingdom young miss?" he was confused. 

  "Oh I did eat breakfast. It just wasn't a hot meal," I explained to the royal cook. 

  "So what did miss Rouhani eat then?" he asked scratching his head. 

  "I ate actually quite simple things: yogurt with fresh fruit, bread with vegetables and water," I told him. 

 The head cook nods and tells that a warm meal was better. To each of their own prefrences I guess. Then he goes to continue his work. The soup and bread were scrumptous. The taste of the soup reminded me of the times before my mother dissapeared and everything was well. After my mother dissappeared everything seemed to go downhill. The tea even though I haven't done anything yet was warm and calming. The morning dew smelled good. When I finished my breakfast I wash my dishes. After I washed my dishes and thanked the royal cook for the breakfast. When I was about to head out of the cafeteria I come accross the head maid. 

 "Hey Alicea, I know you're not obligated to my command but could you help me with something and it won't take long," the head maid asked me.

  "What is it?" I asked ready to help. 

  "Could you help me unload the produce for today?" she answered.

   I nodded in agreement. As I was helping the head maid I wonder. Where are the other servants at this time since Atefeh was already here? So I asked her.

   "The produce came a little early so the kitchen servants haven't come yet," the head maid told me. 

   As I helped the head maid she told her that I'll be the one to deliver his majesty's breakfast to his rooom. Apparently today he wants to eat in his bedroom instead of in the dining in the dining room... 

   "Thank you Alicea for helping me," the head maid thanked me after we finished unloading the produce. 

   At that time it was my time to deliver his majestys's breakfast. The plate was quite large full of different smaller plates. The food on the plate smell wonderfull although a little too strong for my taste. I take the plate and proceed in a fast but stable pace to his majesty's bedchamber. I am so glad that I decided to go trough the military training back home. Since the plate isn't the lightest. As I neared his majesty's bedchamber my heart starts to race faster. Ohkay Ally. You can do it just calm down. I push the highly decorated door to enter the bedchamber. As I entered the bedchamber I am amazed by the sheer size of the room. Then I look around to see where I should put the plate I am holding. Thankfully the room is not empty. There were male servants in the bedchamber. One of the servants noticed me so he directed me where I should put now quite heavy feeling plate. He directed me to a table at the room's balcony and I put the plate there. After that I admire his majesty's huge room. The decorative carvings on the wall. They seem to tell some kind of a story. I go to take a closer look.
