Hello, Erenate, Beatrice Twiddle thought. She cautiously walked down the road as she looked around, observing the kingdom’s people. Up in the distance, she could see a crowd of girls her age screaming and jumping up and down outside of the royal castle. Huh, she wondered. What are they so excited about? She looked at her best friend, Delila Butterfly, who didn’t respond, and decided to pick up her pace. Soon, she reached the group of enthusiastic and eager ladies.
“What’s going on?” she asked curiously. Two of them turned around and laughed.
“Don’t you know anything?” one of them smirked.
“Oh, don’t mind her. Sir Connor O’Rollin’s looking for a personal maid!” the other one grinned.
“Sir Connor O’—Who?” Beatrice repeated blankly.
“Ugh, you’re new here aren’t you? He’s only the BEST PERSON WHO EVER LIVED! He’s a knight and totally attractive!” the first girl swooned. “Anyway, he’s looking for a personal maid. That means that you’ll get to be with him twenty-four/seven!”
“Well, thank you for telling me all of that information,” Beatrice nodded and walked away. “What do you think, Delila? I came here for a fresh start, anyway. Maybe I should apply for the job?”
“I flew to the announcement banner while those girls were talking to you, Bea,” Delila said. “He starts looking for his maid tomorrow morning. Go for it!”

“Hello, my name is Beatrice Twiddle. I’m from the kingdom of Trensawt. I’ve never had a job before, but I’m very responsible and reliable,” Beatrice said to the handsome knight.
“All right, you’ve got the job. I’m much too fabulous to waste my time hearing the same girls disguising themselves to have another chance to get hired. Just one...

... was fake.”
“Excuse me? Delila, I mean Mother, are you saying that this thing was a test? My whole life, I’ve been living a lie? How could you?” Elizabeth asked, hurt.
“Well, you see, I’ve been teaching you magic ever since you were a child, Lizzie. It was prophesied that a female O’Rollin would become a great wizard. Now we know it’s true! You’re the great wizard, darling, you are!”
“I am?” Elizabeth repeated in disbelief. The two hugged and cried in joy. “I love you, Mother,” she whispered.
“Hello? The handsome knight is over here! Don’t forget about your son and brother,” Connor butted in. The mother and daughter laughed and let him join their hug. “You know,” he said, “Beaty might be a powerful wizard, but I’m still the ladies’ man!”
Delila laughed.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, screamed a scream that could be heard a mile away, “MY NAME IS NOT BEATY!!!”
