Violet turned around at the sound of the laugh. It was just the prince. Of course he would find it funny, he wasn't the slave here. Violet decided not to let him get to her and turned around, crouching down on the ground. She placed the shovel to her side and placed a little sapling into the ground. "Good luck," she whispered quietly as she covered the roots with soil even though it would need much more than luck to get through this weather. Frowning, Vi picked up her shovel again and twisted it into the ground. It was easier to dig like that. A small trick she had pivked up back in her forest home.

This is kinda what I think Vi would look like: Boop

Except a bit more elfy looking. Even has her fancy clothes on XD

(Thanks to ラブぴんく💘LOVEPiNK picrew)

(Ah ok!)

Zane stopped laughing and leaned forward to examine her work, she was adapting to the fact she can't waste 30mins on bashing the frozen ground. Zane watched a little before having Dorian call for the workers attention. Zane flicked some lint off his shirt and carried on, "After watching you all complete some sort of work, I have decided which one of you will be my personal assistant…" Zane turned, his eyes lingering on the earth elf he was watching before, "you" he said

Violet could not believe this. She was his assistant? Of all of them, it had to be her. Maybe he was pointing to someone else. She raised a finger to her chest. "Um...are you talking about me? I think I'd be a terrible assistant. You know, I'm really clumsy and..." She trailed off. This was probably not working.

Zane lifted a eyebrow at her, "I don't care what you think about yourself, now! Come on! It's time to give you your schedule, tomorrow I have elcected to go on a hunt! You will be in charge of inviting the nearest lords around us" he said to her, while walking away from the others, leaving Dorian to sort out the others.

Violet waited back a few seconds, glancing around a little awkwardly before hurrying after the prince. She had to speed up to keep up with him. "Um, first of all, what's your name? I'm not working for an evil troll like you without at least knowing your name. Second of all, what on earth are you going to hunt? There's nothing out here, no life at all!" Violet huffed and brished her hair out of her eyes. Where were they going?

Zane looked back, laughing as she called him a 'Evil troll' "My name is Prince Farzaneh, But you can call me Prince Zane or just Zane" he said thoughtfully, which brung him to her next question. "Geez, you didn't look around much did you! Well, then again, you weren't raised here. There is plenty to hunt here, you just can't see it yet, though most of the animals worth hunting live in the hedge, which is a dangerous forest, consealed with rampant magical creatures" he said turning to see her expression

Violet blinked as Zane talked about the forest. Then she snorted with laughter. "Was that supposed to scare me? For future reference, I'm very hard to frighten." Violet pointed at one of the paintings on the wall. "Any chance they have a fancy name like you? And if all of those lords I'm inviting have long names too, I might as well give up now."

Zane snorted, "I wasn't trying to scare you, just intrigue you, as you, like the other lords, will be hunting with us" he said, turning and narrowing his eyes. "Most of them do, It's necessary for Snow elves" he said, rolling his eyes.

Violet raised an eyebrow. "Necessary?" Vi rolled her eyes. Snow elves were quite the characters. Especially Dorian. "Can I get my schedule now? Better get to work, you know!" She said, her tone thick with sarcasm.

Zane turned and raised his eyebrow at her, "your intrigued by work then? Hmm, maybe I should just lock you up to do my writing work for as long as you live" He smiled at her, but it wasn't friendly "Sound alright?"
