Fuck Ya Tiddies! *gets top surgery*

The first time Jade had met Ravenna was when she was still young and new to the world. All her childish mind could think of when she saw the woman’s silky platinum hair and clear blue eyes was, “she’s pretty.” The woman had a daughter her age. The girl’s name was Cathy, short for Catherine. She had beautiful golden curls but a nasty attitude. Ravenna corrected her when she was around to see it and Jade loved her for it. Finally, she could have a mother and it wouldn’t be so lonely here. 

Ravenna and her father got married quickly, only a few days after Jade had met her and her daughter. Ravenna’s dress for the wedding sparked many daydreams during Jade’s childhood and young adult years. Jade and Cathy were allowed to be flower girls. All Jade can remember of that night when she was six was that she had a lot of fun and Ravenna made her smile. She was even allowed to have an extra piece of delicious chocolate-y cake. 

Lady Ravenna le Fay treated Jade kindly until her father had died. After his death, the stepmother showed her true colors to the young girl, making her do chores to take care of her and her own child. 

Two days after getting married, her father fell ill with a terrible sickness. He died within the week, though it couldn’t have come fast enough. Ernesto was in an immeasurable amount of pain during his last days. 

“Oh, darling... I’m so sorry,” Ravenna had said to her after the news of her father’s death had been broken to her. Through the tears that welled up in her eyes, she saw Ravenna’s arms reach out for her and she let Ravenna hug her until her sadness had subsided. 

The funeral was quick to come as well. Ravenna had an elaborate dress for the burial and she wore black the rest of the week. Jade merely trailed along by her side as adults gave her their condolences. Ravenna always knew when to give her a smile to cheer her up or ease her anxiety. 

As soon as they arrived home from the funeral service, Ravenna’s lovely act had vanished. Her smile faded to a small scowl and she looked at Jade with slight disgust. “It’s a mess in here. As one of the things your father left behind, you should clean it up.” 

Jade hadn’t seen much wrong with that. She assumed Ravenna was still upset over the death of her new husband that seeing a messy home was making it worse. So, Jade asked a housemaid to show her how to clean. She didn’t want to disappoint her new mother after all. 

However, it didn’t stop there. “Jade, darling, Cathy needs you to scrub the spot out of her dress for her. Be a good girl and run along will you?”

“Yes ma’am.”

And from then on, that was how it went. Ravenna asked Jade to do something and she did it readily. As time went on, more of their staff started to disappear and the chores Jade was asked to do started to increase. 

One day, when the young girl turned ten finally, Ravenna called Jade into her study. “Darling, there’s just no way we can pay for all of our bills… I’m going to need you to find a job.”

Jade furrows her eyebrows, childish innocence clouding her eyes. “But what about all of my father’s money he left us when he died?”

Ravenna purses her lips, successfully convincing Jade she really had no control over it. “I’m afraid it’s run out.”

Jade blinks in confusion. “Oh…” Her eyebrows punch together once again. “Where… where can I get a job?”

Ravenna’s lip twitches slightly at Jade’s willingness to please. “Well… perhaps I could send you off with a letter… to the castle of course… maybe they have an open spot as a scullery maid?”

Jade had no idea what becoming a scullery maid entailed but she was up for trying. “Okay… if… if that’s what you want…”

“Oh, darling, it’s not about what I want… but unfortunately, it’s what we need… Thank you, darling. Oh, and don’t forget to finish hanging the clothes out to dry before scrubbing the dishes,” Ravenna says in her sing-song voice. 

“Yes ma’am.” Jade leaves after that, having no idea how easily Ravenna had manipulated her. 

Ravenna smiles snakily as Jade shuts the door, knowing exactly what she’s done. Oh, how easy it is to manipulate her… just like her father was. “Drink this sweetheart. It will make this more fun.” If only he had trusted his first instinct and spit the poison out...

Shortly after their conversation, Ravenna found her a job as a maid at the castle. She was to scrub floors and do laundry. This is when the girl met her first friends, other maids in the castle. This is also when she met the prince. 

She was rushing to meet another maid in a far part of the castle when she turned the corner and slammed into someone. The force of it knocked her back and onto the floor while the other person merely was thrown off balance. She had looked up at them, wide-eyed, and gasped in horror as she realized who she bumped into. Prince Lyxander didn’t give her a chance to apologize before offering her a hand up, which she took gratefully.
