Arden and Geri walked demurely through the halls, it’s how maids were supposed to act and they had grown well accustomed to fulfilling this act. As they headed towards Arden’s room to return to their regular attire a voice came out from behind which shocked both of them.
“I do say Geri, today has been such a dreadfully boring day.” The voice was Arden’s own, yet it did not come from him. Instead behind the pair was yet another pair. A Arden and Geri wearing their normal look.
“My apologies sire” the second Geri said as they walked past the maids. The pair of fake maids were shocked at seeing these imposters, yet despite this their faces betrayed none of it. Instead they instinctively bowed as the two passed by.
After a while the imposters has passed by, leaving a speechless couple of maids.
“Those.... those.. imposters!” Arden exclaims “I should have them beheaded for such offence”
Geri shot a worried look “You shouldn’t speak like that of the Prince, Arianna”
“But I am the prince” he whispered back defiantly.
“But right now we look like maids, they’d throw us to the dogs without a chance to explain if anyone overheard you.”
“You’re.. you’re right Gertrude.” The female names rolled of the tongue naturally “But we must do something. Unless you suggest we let... these imposters... run amuck”
