He pulled up in front of the townhouse and shook his head. When Ziggy signed up for this project he had no idea that he would be ending up in the middle of nowhere, Montana, USA. He always pictured royalty as living in castles and doing “royal” things. Whatever they may be. But he never expected to be living in a small town where no one was going to recognize them. He just didn’t picture the crowned princess of Germany to be this reclusive. The other celebrities that he had worked for never seemed this secretive. Maybe she wasn’t being secretive. Maybe she was being smart.
Getting out of the car, he grabbed the necessary things to prove who he was to Pirzi, if she should happen to ask. Even though the place was his to live as well, he did knock. While he was waiting, he ran his hand through his bright red hair out of nervousness. This was the most important job of his life so far, and he couldn’t wait to start it. But he was nervous.
He knew that things were going to be hard at first. He was hired by the queen to keep tabs on the princess, as they had just had a major fight. He didn’t know who his real boss was – the queen or the princess – but he wasn’t about to go and tattle every little thing to the queen. As long as the queen knew her daughter was safe, things would be okay, right?
He knocked a little louder, still waiting for someone to answer, and when the door finally did, he recognized the face from the television and magazines. Nodding politely, Ziggy said, “I’m Ziggy Bauer. I’m your new personal assistant.” He showed her his passport as his ID and presented her with an envelope addressed to her from the queen herself. “I’m here to assist you in any way possible.”

so be here by my side and watch the stars* make a wish or just take charge
Everything was coming together with the town house and she was rather proud to be the one of the three girls that was there supervising, the entire place had been painted before she arrived chosen through the colors that the three of them wanted, after all it was not a completely new place and had undergone a couple renovations before they had been able to ok it and get ready to move in. Avoiding Germany was high on the priority list right now after her mother had threatened to disown her, she knew that it was never going to happen since her father would have a field day, she was his daughter, a princess of Germany and one that tended to never put a foot wrong before this event. How did her mother think she was going to respond to the announcement of the arranged marriage between her and Bentley Girard of France? The first thing that had gone through her mind was, is this a sick joke that everyone but myself is aware of? Though she knew that she was not that lucky as her mother had been hinting at an arranged marriage from a very young age and she had already approached X about it once, then again last year where he had told her that he would not allow it to happen if it was against her wishes and this made her feel a little better. She had then told him the same day that if it was going to be something that helped Germany then she would grin and bear it, but the alliance between France and Germany while it was a little rocky was always secured considering the German princess and her were best friends and this counted for a lot. Marie and her were childhood friends and even the announcement of the arranged marriage did not seem to phase them as it had been publicly outted in the middle of the Founders’ parade and for the first time in history the German prince won over the Queen. Though there would be a price to be paid for that, Tarti was not going to allow her eldest daughter to think that she had any sort of power over her. It was a shame for the Queen as P had always been the mediator of the family and the sibling that had gotten along with the Queen the best. Max and X tended to not even want anything to do with her and long since stopped taking her calls so that meant that she was the one that assured the woman that her other two children were still alive and breathing though Xavier, being the crown prince was the one that the Queen was worried about. As being twins she had always been closest with Xavier out of her siblings though she was trying her best to become closer with Max given that X was going to be thousands of miles away in Dartmouth this year and she was not going to get to see him all that often, he was going to be visiting and she requested to be the one to pick him up from the airport all the time but he was also coming to see his girlfriend who was the Spanish servant, Bella. Her and Max had always gotten along, that was not the problem, it was just that he was always involved in other things since her and her twin bonded over their love for horses and dressage in which they both competed in.
She had only arrived back in Montana yesterday and already she was involved in a lot as she was just back from coffee with Max and her brother had some interesting news that both made her stomach sink into the pitts of her insides and also made her very excited for him. He was involved with a teacher, and the woman had just had his baby, meaning that there was a new and mysterious Princess of Germany. The only reason her stomach churned at this thought was because she knew that Tarti was going to have a field day with this one but with the new renewed confidence she was going to help her younger brother with this. She had nothing to lose and Max was very important to her. She had been the first one of their family to be told and this made her feel rather special. Amelia was her name and she was very excited to meet the young child and her mother at that.
She was pleased with the color that her room had been painted but there was something missing that she had already planned, it was a pale yellow color that was one of Germany’s colors so that it was not too dark and she planned stencils to line the top with the inspirational German sayings that she loved. Just the familiarity of the language was enough to make it homey. Before she had gone for coffee she had picked up some black paint and she was deep into her work and halfway done the room when there was a knock on the door. Coming! She stated cheerfully as she climbed from the ladder, positive that if anyone could see her right now they would think she was crazy, she opened the door to reveal a man who looked about her age maybe a few years older standing in front of the door and she was a little confused but being polite she opened the door to allow him inside. He stated his name and that he was her new personal assistant, since when did she have one of those? It is nice to meet you Ziggy, I am Pirzi. She went to extend her hand to shake his politely but realized that her hand was covered in paint and took it back. Sorry I have been, uh, painting. He presented her with ID which proved his name as well as an envelope from her mother and she was then a little more certain that this was true. Of course he was going to have to report back to the Queen about her daughter, interesting. Forgive my surprise. I was never made aware of this arrangement, but please come in. I should have been suspicious when my mother changed the townhouse we rented at the last minute to a larger one. Walking in the direction of where her room was there was a room right next to it. I am assuming this will be your room. Feel free to get settled in. We are the only ones here right now; Beau, Frida, and Marie will not arrive until later this week. She told him with a small smile. While she hated that her mother had gone behind her back to do this she was not going to make him pay the consequences and she was very polite.

The only hope for me is you
Ziggy was glad that Pirzi was being polite to him, when she didn’t even want him to be there in the first place. Maybe things would be easier for her with a servant around, yes, and, no, it was nothing personal. Pirzi just hadn’t requested a servant. Ziggy was a product of the queen’s games. Trying to break the ice, Ziggy offered, “Do you want me to paint for you, or are you enjoying yourself? Are you painting a room or… do you paint for fun?”
He followed her to what would now be his room, and he threw his bags in there, and then just started talking. “Look, I’m sorry that this was really sudden.” Then he added, “If it makes you feel any better about me, I’ve been a personal assistant to celebrities before. I won’t go spilling things that you do to the press.” Then he paused a little bit and added, “… or your mother.” He waited a second to see if she was going to make any response and then he added, “She has asked me to keep her informed. But, I plan on doing nothing more than letting her know that you are safe and doing your homework and not staying out late.” He continued, “Regardless of what hour you get in.”
When she explained that they would be alone for most of the week, Ziggy breathed a little sigh of relief. “That’s kind of good. We’ll get to know each other and I will see how you want things done without interference from anyone else.” He continued to put his stuff away, leaving out an old t-shirt and an older pair of jeans that had holes in them. After getting all of his stuff put away, he threw those clothes on and went into the room she was painting.
She was on the one wall, so he grabbed a brush and started doing the edging on another wall. “So, Pirzi, what are you majoring in, eh?” Ziggy, himself, wasn’t even going to college. His sole purpose here was to work for Pirzi, and he wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of that. When she was in class, he and the other assistants could clean up and make necessary appointments, etc. And Ziggy wanted to be at Pirzi’s every beckon call – that was part of being a personal assistant. He should always be there for her. No matter what.
As he was painting, he started to ask more questions so that he could get to know her better. “So, Pirzi, what did you do all summer? Anything really interesting?”

so be here by my side and watch the stars* make a wish or just take charge
It was not at all that she did not want him there it was just going to be a large change for her since she had gone through all of Vineheart doing everything for herself and that was the way that she liked it, it was the mundane things that kept her sanity in the times that turned a little rough and she needed to distract herself. She enjoyed it even if she sounded rather strange in the first place. But she knew that she was just going to have to get used to it, maybe with the added stresses of classes and the dance program she could use someone looking out for her never mind whatever happened in the future and what the next chapter of her life was. She just simply did not know if she was going to be able to fill his day in what was expected and hoped that he did not mind having a lot of time to himself considering she was not going to be one of those people that expected their ‘person assistant’ to do everything for them. Things were going to change but only slightly. She hoped that he was going to enjoy his time here, she did not know the details and if he had been enrolled in the University of Montana as well but if he was then she was going to see to it that he had plenty of time for studying and doing other things as well she was not going to overrule his time. A small grin crossed her face when he asked her if she wanted help painting and she shook her head. It’s fine you don’t need to you can get settled if. Come look. She was actually quite proud of the job that she had done. The pale gold color looked good in the room and seemed to be a very warm tone, a color of Germany’s and the black lettering at the top with the German words seemed to add just the right amount of familiarity to make her smile given that they were famous quotes that she had translated. It was personal to her and she knew that within however long she was going to be attending the university it was going to be something that made her feel a little closer to her country which was actually halfway across the world.
She shrugged when he told her that he had been a personal assistant to people like celebrities before and shoulders were shrugged. It was going to be a lot more low key then for him and perhaps a lot less work. Well then it should be something super easy for you since the main attention of course is on my brother. Montana seems to be a pretty safe place. She uttered gently. The only press that seems to bother me is that stupid gossip blog and even then I have vowed not to let it bug me this year. She knew that there was no changing that or else the rest of the Royals would have already done and she showed that it really did not bother her all that much with the small smile that crossed her face. She knew that he was going to learn just how persistent her mother was knowing that Pirzi was the only chance that she was really going to have to find inside things out about her brother so it would only be a little time before the calls all started once again. When she had first left Germany this summer for Bulgaria she was getting calls from her mother around the clock on every hour and even in the night, her mother knew that she was never going to turn her phone off in case X, Max or Luna needed her so therefore she knew that it would bother her, but after that week it seemed to have stopped for the time that she was in Austria and France and it had been a nice break, but Tarti was persistent and it was only going to start up again. Eventually she knew that she was going to have to talk to her mother but right now she was in no mood to discuss the harsh feelings felt between them after her mother threatened to disown her. She was the eldest girl in the family and not only that she was tied by BLOOD to Germany not just by marriage. Anselm would never allow it she knew that and she knew that her mother was only being dramatic though it did not change how much it had hurt that it was even brought up by her mother.
When he told her that he was not going to report to her mother she nodded lightly though only time was going to be able to prove that, she was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and give him the chance to prove himself but that was not going to mean that she was going to trust him at first. She remembered what X and Sergej had both told her, keep your secrets to yourself until you know that you can trust him. He was going to learn quite early that she was really not the type to be out all night considering she was taking this degree very seriously as well as the dance program that she was auditioning for at the end of the week. As she stated that they were going to be the only ones here for the rest of the week he stated that it was good so that they could figure something out. Yeah it will be quite crazy when Marie, Frida and Beau arrive. At least you won’t be the only guy. Beau is a very nice guy. She and Beau had always been quite close since he had served Marie from a very young age and Marie was generally her oldest friend.
As she continued the last touches of the room he grabbed a paintbrush to help her as well provoking a small smile to touch on lips. He asked her what she was majoring in and this cause teal eyes to light up gently. Sports medicine. The only reason I remained here instead of going to Dartmouth with my brother was to keep an eye on my siblings and for my best friends. She uttered with a small smile. Are you going to be attending University? She asked looking up at him for a moment. He then asked her what she did all summer. Travelled mostly, attended the Masquerade Party in Spain at first, went back to Germany for the Founder’s parade, then went to Bulgaria, Austria and France before returning here a little early to set everything up for the others before they arrive. She was quite friendly and she was finding that it was pretty easy for her to talk to him, maybe this was not going to be as awkward as she originally thought. What about you? How was your summer?

The only hope for me is you
He was going to have to take the time to make his room more like it was his when he got some free time after getting to know Pirzi. He needed to make sure that he got to know her and built a relationship with her or this job was never going to be pleasant. One of the keys to a successful working relationship was for Ziggy to make sure that she felt like he truly cared about her. He was sure that he would grow to that point because he always did, but it took getting to know someone before caring. And that was why Ziggy was particularly happy about having the week to themselves. He could get to know all sorts of things about her and she could get to know him. They could learn what each other liked and things like that, so that they could build their trust with one another.
He made a mental note that he knew what he wanted to do in his room. He had a vision. Well, there were two choices – rock stage or pirate ship. And, yeah, they surely sounded immature, but Ziggy had a way of making either one grown up. He just had to think about which one he would like more long term. He had a rock stage room before, but it wasn’t done the way that he had wanted it. Plus, he hadn’t had the ridiculous amount of money that he had now. The queen was paying him very well. She had given him a huge bonus, since he was moving across the world for the job, instead of just into the palace.
As he explained to Pirzi about his previous experience, she said that keeping her life private would actually be easier for him than any of his previous employers. Ziggy smiled and replied, “That’s good. Because, sometimes, my previous bosses would do stuff and there wasn’t enough damage control that I could do, you know?” He laughed a little bit. “I’ve worked for some real… morons.” He smiled at her and then just continued to paint. Then he asked, “Gossip Blog?” He looked at her and continued, “Who has such a pitiful life that he or she has to expose everyone else?” Then he added, “And you shouldn’t let it bother you. Education is much more important, don’t you think?” Ziggy wasn’t one to actually go to college, but he believed that anyone that wanted an education should go for it – and actually take it seriously. Sure, some people had unlimited funds and didn’t care if they had to take another ten years, and in the end, having a degree was all that mattered to most employers, but the truth was – taking school seriously would help out in the long run. School just wasn’t for Ziggy.
Pirzi mentioned that Ziggy wouldn’t be the only guy, and Ziggy smiled. “Good deal. Because I don’t know if I couldn’t handle strictly estrogen. Your mum told me that it was you and two other princesses in the house.” He laughed, as he was totally joking. He just knew that three women versus him alone would have been difficult – especially when it came to that time of the month. “I hope that Beau likes me, but the thing about me, Pirzi, is that I don’t alter who I am for anyone. I’m very much Ziggy, and that’s all there is to me, y’know?” He looked over at her and then continued, “Your mum sure did pick a strange man to come live with her daughter.” He smiled a little and said, “She either thought that I was too, um, different for you to be interested in or she hoped that I would scare you… or… she thought I was gay – which I’m not. But I do get that a lot.” He chuckled a little and then took a step back from the wall, which was pretty much finished.
Pirzi told him that she was studying sports medicine, and Ziggy was impressed. “Nice!” but then she told him that she wanted to go to Dartmouth. “You should have chosen Dartmouth. In the long run, maybe you would have been happier? Or did you really think it out – what you really wanted to do? Because if the ONLY reason that you chose Montana was to keep a watchful eye on your younger siblings and because of your friends, don’t you think that you would resent them later?”
She asked him if he was attending university, and Ziggy shook his head. “Nah. I’m not the education type. I will probably ask for nights off to go to a couple concerts here and there or to an art show – and you are welcome to join me for any of these things if you want.” Then he added one more thing. “I’m also toying with an idea to find my birth parents, but I’m not sure if I really want to, you know? They abandoned me when I was an infant, and my mama found me in a trash can. And she took care of me, you know?” He probably shouldn’t have told her that, but she had asked him, basically about his future plans by opening up the question about going to university. “But sometimes, I don’t know if I should travel into the past like that.”
She told him about her summer and he laughed when she asked about his. “Not full of amazing traveling like yours, but I did go to some concerts and hung out with my friends before coming here.” He smiled. Then he looked at his watch. “Supper time. Wanna go out or cook here or what?”

so be here by my side and watch the stars* make a wish or just take charge
While Sergej and X’s statements were still at the back of her mind and she was not about to just blurt out all the current events that she knew would make the gossip blog if they ever came out she was finding it hard not to like the guy that was standing in front of her and helping her paint her room. It was going to be nice to have someone that was around a little more often since she knew that Marie and Frida were going to be busy with their own schedules and she was not going to get the time to see them too much except on the weekends. She also knew that as soon as dance was going to start up she was going to be even busier. She wondered where exactly a person like himself would have applied for a job like this and it made her wonder how long her mother had been looking for someone to take the spot watching over her eldest daughter and how long this had been a part of the plan. She knew that neither of her brothers knew of it so it was not something that was going to be blamed on them for not warning her but even then she was not too sure that it was a bad thing since he seemed well suited for the job and already she was finding that she was at ease with his presence around her. He stated that he was glad that the job was going to be easier and that he was not going to have to do so much drama control and she nodded lightly. It was true that her life was pretty much straight forward for the most part and a lot of the time the German Royals had been trusted to almost travel and go about their daily business by themselves without the worries of reporters, and other extremists that might harm them, Montana was a safe haven of which they tended to remain under the radar of the rest of the general population so it was something to be thankful for that they did not have to be followed around by a body guard all day long. She did like her time to herself most of which was spent writing to her brother in Dartmouth already and this was an important aspect of her daily life. A soft chuckle was released when he stated that he had worked for some real morons and she nodded lightly understanding seeing as she could never picture herself working for some of the other students at Vineheart like Aubrey and Leena that would be a horrible job. I can only imagine. She uttered gently with a thoughtful expression crossing her face.
His attention turned to the gossip blog when she mentioned it and he asked who had such a pitiful life that they needed to expose other people and her shoulders rose in a shrug. I have no idea though I would have loved to investigate and find out who that person was. She told him truthfully and it was something that her and Sergej had talked about before though they knew that it was not going to happen after all she was sure that people had tried their best when they had been in school though she knew that they had remained a secret the entire time that she was in school so therefore it was a thought that she allowed to drop to the wayside. She nodded when he commented that education was a lot more important. It had nothing to do with education for her since even when she had been in the spotlight of it her marks never wavered and she had always been able to get into the schools of her choice and even though University of Montana had not been on the top of the list she was glad that she had decided to stay here since it was going to mean that she was going to be roommates with her best friends and also be around Sergej and give whatever was between them a chance to form into something she did not care that the boy was two years younger than her since he seemed ten times more mature than some boys of her age. She laughed yet again when he told her that he could not handle just girls in the house. She shrugged when he stated that he did not alter himself for people. No one would have expected you to change yourself anyways. She did understand even if she did not know him very well but she also knew that, that was going to change. The two of them were getting pretty close to having finished the painting and already it was starting to look impressive which she was glad about and it would be very homey with the quotes written along the top like she had already done. All that had been left was the small amount of the walls below that. No, this is the last time that I will get to spend this much time with them and being away from my twin is good practice for when he becomes King. There is also a dance program here that I am very interested in, as well as a little more time for my horse. There were a number of reasons that she had chosen to stay here. He commented that he was not the education type but that he was going to be asking for nights off to go to concerts and an art show and this brought a small smile to her face. Sounds like fun, but if I came along then I am sure that it would not feel like a night off. He then added onto the last statement with one that made her eyes go slightly wide when he commented that he was debating finding his birth parents that had abandoned him and also had left him in a trash can when he was younger. I am sorry to hear that. And if you need any sort of help finding them then please come to me. She uttered gently a soft expression mirrored in light teal colored eyes. He seemed to be back to normal as soon as he asked her about her summer and she told him that she had been off travelling all summer. He asked her if she would like to go for dinner or cook here. Well, groceries are one thing that I have not gotten out to go get yet so the choice was made for us. I know of a small café that serves really good food though how does that sound? She was not the type to go for the very fancy restaurant since she loved to be able to sit down and relax. Just let me get changed and I will be right out. She rifled through her draws to grab a pair of jean shorts and an off-the-shoulder white shirt where she changed in the bathroom only because she did not really want to walk around with the amount of paint that she was wearing. She took no more than five minutes before she was walking out into the common area of the house and grabbing her car keys from where they were hanging by the door. The headlights of the Audi A6 flashing as she unlocked it, while waiting for him to join her.
