Faye frowned. “I thought at least one of us could get out,” she said.
“Why don’t you do it, Faye?” Ella asked encouragingly.
Faye shook her head, looked down at her feet. “You know why, Ella. I’m not pretty. Not like you. You’ve got the most gorgeous blonde hair ever, big bosoms, a nice figure. You’d be perfect for this. The man told me he needed a pretty girl. He laughed when I suggested me, but I told him I’d send my friend instead. And it’s not like it would be riff-raff. Apparently, a cousin of the King or something is visiting and wants some companionship.”
Ella stared at Faye. That was interesting. A royal relation who wanted a prostitute. “And where was I supposed to go?” she asked, more out of curiosity than any intention to go.
“He said to meet at the rear castle gate at 10 tonight, and to say that you were Faye’s friend who wanted to inquire about royal nuts.”
Ella couldn’t help but laugh. That was the most ridiculous thing she’d ever heard. “Faye,” she said. “Are you sure he wasn’t foolin’ on you?”
Faye shook her head. “No, he’s a royal servant. I seen him before.” She paused, then added, dreamily, “He wears such fine clothing. It always looks so soft and warm and clean. Not like the stuff we wear.”
Ella nodded. She knew of such clothes. They were the kind that Lady Kenna, Bathilda and Marigold wore. Fine, expensive and not for her. She sighed and tilted her head skyward. It was a dark orangish purple. The sun was setting. She grabbed Faye, wrapping her arms as much around her stout friend as she could. “Thank you for thinking of me for this, but I can’t. And I have to get home or Lady Kenna will have my hide.”
Faye nodded. Ella pulled away and ran toward home. She had to hurry.
