Chapter 4: The Queen Mistress, Part 4
A little after everyone began to rest, Layla got up to do her daily chores. Around an hour after this, she came back with none other than Cammy. “Mistresses Jen and Wendy, this official from the Queen Mistress’ Palace has come to give you a message,” Layla announced, getting the full attention of Jen and Wendy.
A million questions raced through Jen’s head once she quickly identified Cammy. ‘Is she here to tell me that I can go get Maddie? Will she say that the Queen Mistress won’t allow that? Am I even going to be employed by the Tickle Cartel? Am I going to be a tickle slave instead? Does Queen Mistress Heather even like me? Does Cammy even like me?’
“Hello, Cammy,” Wendy addressed the royal messenger. “How are you?”
“I’m doing great, and I’ve come to give a message to Jen,” Cammy responded kindly.
“Oh, yes, please, thank you for coming over here,” Jen stumbled over her words as her nervousness overtook her.
“Jen, Queen Mistress Heather would like to have you as her guest for dinner so she can give you your official assignment in the Tickle Cartel,” Cammy dictated. “She was very pleased with your abilities during the meeting, and she wants to personally tell you what you will be doing in the Tickle Cartel.”
“Oh, I’d love to!” Jen finally found coherent words. “That is such an honor; thank you very much!”
Inside, Jen still had several questions. ‘Is she calling me over there because she wants to personally congratulate me and give me the blessing to go get Maddie? Or is it because she wants to crush my dreams of seeing my friend personally? Or worse: is she only calling me there so she has all her guards to take me prisoner as a tickle slave? I can’t believe someone would do that! No, that wouldn’t make any sense. She seemed like such a nice person, probably because she is. I don’t really think she would do either of those things to me. If anything, she probably wants to explain why she thinks it would be a bad idea for me to go back and get Maddie. Maybe say that she’s sorry that she can’t let me go. Yeah, that’s probably the worst-case scenario.’
“Do you have any idea if Queen Mistress Heather plans on Jen staying over for the night?” Wendy inquired. “It’s perfectly fine if you don’t know; I was just hoping to see how long I should stay up. If she is coming back, I want to be here when she gets back to greet her, but if not, that is a huge honor for her.”
“I’m not sure about anything, but I can request that Queen Mistress Heather have someone inform you when she knows for sure,” Cammy replied.
“That would be perfect; thank you very much,” Wendy affirmed. “Jen, have lots of fun with Queen Mistress Heather!”
“I will,” Jen smiled as she calmed down just a little bit. “When do you want me to go?”
“As soon as you’re ready,” Cammy informed her. “If you need anything during your stay at the palace, the Queen Mistress will get it for you.”
“I think I’ve got everything I need,” Jen declared after looking around. “To be honest, I didn’t bring much with me to start with.”
“Actually, you’re not quite ready,” Wendy asserted. “Layla, get the bag of supplies.” As the servant headed off to get the bag, Wendy turned to Jen. “While we were gone today, I had my servants get you some clothes and basic supplies as a gift for joining the Tickle Cartel. This should take care of most of your basic needs, and I really hope it takes the stress of moving somewhere new off you.”
“Thank you, Wendy,” Jen thanked her mentor as Layla came back and gave the bag to her. Looking inside, she saw a few bikinis, some crop tops and shorts, and other clothes, as well as basic toiletries and other necessary items for spending the night somewhere. “That was really generous, and it does help ease my stress a little.” She gave Wendy a hug before turning back to Cammy, now for sure ready to go. “Alright, I think I’m ready to go now.”
“Sounds good, and if you find anything else that you need, we will provide it to you,” Cammy declared. “Thank you very much for letting us host her, Mistress Wendy.”
“You have fun, Jen,” Wendy instructed. “I’ll be available whenever you get back, and we can hang out more then. Queen Mistress Heather will take good care of you; I do know that.”
“Thanks, Mistress Wendy; I’ll see you later,” Jen told Wendy as she headed out with Cammy, the latter taking her bag. When they got outside, there was a car, not just a cart, waiting for them. “Is that a car? I thought there were just carts around here.”
“Yes, it is,” Cammy confirmed her suspicions. “Cars are very limited, due to the relatively small distances that make up most of the travel on the island. However, Queen Mistress Heather wanted you to get the VIP treatment, and that includes a trip in a comfortable car. So, I can give you the basic schedule for your visit, at least all that I know of it. We will start out by going to Queen Mistress Heather’s throne room, where she will give you your official assignment within the Tickle Cartel and when she expects you to start. She may also provide you with your permanent mentor for your first few months at the Tickle Cartel, but of course, that will not be active right away. As far as the mentor goes, you will not be able to keep Mistress Wendy as a mentor; although she certainly is compassionate enough to be a good one, she is far too busy with her job to be a full-time mentor. Anyway, after the official meeting with Queen Mistress Heather, you will be provided dinner with the Queen Mistress and her court in the royal dining room. I believe that the Queen Mistress wanted to spend some time with you in her chambers after that, and that’s as far as I’m aware of.”
“That sounds like a fun night!” Jen kept up her excitement, happily anxious to meet back up with Queen Mistress Heather.
Inside, worries still filled Jen’s mind, although she was still looking forward to the night. ‘Why does she want to meet with me in her personal chambers? Is it to tickle torture me, or to get me in trouble where I have no witnesses? Maybe it’s just because she wants to talk to me one-on-one. I mean, she is a nice person; Mistress Wendy said so, and that’s certainly how I felt when I met with her earlier. Plus, getting invited to the Queen Mistress’ chambers must be a huge honor. Oh, I should probably ask if there’s anything special I have to do while I’m with Cammy so I don’t accidentally break any rules with the Queen Mistress.’
“Cammy, is there anything special that I need to know so I don’t… you know, get into trouble with the Queen Mistress?” Jen questioned, immediately regretting the way she asked it.
Cammy laughed and placed a hand on Jen’s shoulder, “Jen, don’t be so concerned; I’ll make sure you don’t get into any trouble. All you really need to remember to do is to curtsy when you go into the throne room. That’s the only formality expected of you, and when you go to the Queen Mistress’ private chambers, she doesn’t expect that of anyone, so you can forget about it then. Just treat her like you would a professor to their face while you’re in the throne room and at dinner, and you can treat her like a friend in her chambers. That’s always my advice to people who meet with her, and it’s never failed them so far. Queen Mistress Heather is as relaxed as they come, and she really likes you, so you’ll be perfectly fine. If she didn’t like you, there’s no way she would have invited you to hear your assignment in person or had you stay for dinner.”
“I guess you’re right,” Jen accepted Cammy’s comforting and advice as she smiled back at the servant, honestly confident about the meeting.
“I’ll let you in on a little secret,” Cammy offered. “I’ve been Queen Mistress Heather’s servant since she became Queen Mistress, and I probably know her the best of anyone inside the Tickle Cartel. That’s why she lets me get tickled by and tickle interviewees during their entry interview. She trusts me with everything, and she personally told me that you were her favorite new employee of the Tickle Cartel ever.”
“Thanks for the confidence boost,” Jen expressed her gratitude towards Cammy. “You’ve done so much for me in just a short time, just like Mistress Wendy. How can I repay you?”
“Just do a good job for the Tickle Cartel,” Cammy deferred. “That’s all the thanks both Wendy and I will ask for from you. This isn’t the first time we’ve helped a new recruit through the first steps of becoming a Tickle Cartel employee, but each time is special and unique. That’s why we enjoy doing it so much, and why we will both continue to help people to through the transition. Now, it looks like we’ve arrived at the palace. Just remember to curtsy and be respectful of the Queen Mistress, and you’ll do great.”
Upon arriving at Queen Mistress Heather’s palace, Cammy guided Jen through the maze that led to the throne room, where a guard declared, “Miss Cammy, Miss Jen, Queen Mistress Heather awaits your presence in the throne room. You may enter.” At this, the guards opened the doors to Jen’s second meeting with Queen Mistress Heather.
Entering the throne room, Jen curtsied when she saw Queen Mistress Heather on the throne, and Cammy did the same. “Jen, it’s so nice to see you back here!” the Queen Mistress proclaimed as she got off her throne and came to give Jen a hug. “I’m sorry if I ended up ruining your plans for tonight; I’ll have to apologize to Wendy later, but I really wanted to give you your assignment in person.”
“It’s perfectly fine, Miss Heather,” Jen addressed the Queen Mistress as she returned to her throne, remembering a little from their conversation earlier. “This is such an honor, and I wouldn’t want to miss it for the world. And if I may say this, Mistress Wendy was very happy when she heard that I had been invited back.”
“That’s what I’d expect from her, so encouraging to her students,” Queen Mistress Heather responded with a smirk. “I’m sure she’ll make sure you still get your night to stay in her mansion, and let me tell you, you will love it. She is a wonderful hostess, and I plan to honor you the same.”
“Queen Mistress, if I may?” Cammy interjected herself into the conversation. “It has to do with Mistress Wendy.”
“Of course, I should have asked you if you were supposed to report anything to me first,” Queen Mistress Heather realized as she turned her attention to her servant.
“Mistress Wendy would like to know if you intend to have Jen stay the night,” Cammy informed her mistress. “I told her that I would request that you send her a message regarding this matter.”
“Yes, I do plan to have her stay the night, and Diana, could you call Mistress Wendy’s house and inform her of this?” Queen Mistress Heather turned to another servant, who nodded and headed off before the Queen Mistress shifted her gaze back to Cammy. “Thank you for that message; I certainly do not want to blow off Mistress Wendy. Anything else I should know?”
“Just that I have this bag for Jen, but we can put that in her quarters later if you’d prefer,” Cammy dictated.
“We can wait until later to do that,” Queen Mistress Heather announced. “Thank you, Cammy.” Finally, she turned back to Jen, who was still awaiting what would come next. “Jen, I’m sure Cammy told you this on the way over, but I called you in here to give you your assignment in the Tickle Cartel.”
‘Finally,’ Jen thought to herself as she readied herself to find out what her new job would be. ‘The moment of truth. This is what I’ll be doing for a job. I really hope I’ll be getting Maddie before I really start.’
“You will begin as a transporter,” Queen Mistress Heather broadcasted, informing the entire throne room of Jen’s new job.
‘Oh, no!’ Jen realized in horror, although her face did not show the disappointment that her mind had. ‘She said earlier that I couldn’t get Maddie if I ended up as a transporter because I might get recognized. This sucks so much.’
“The transporter job will be temporary, though; in fact, you’ll only take one trip for this job,” Queen Mistress Heather continued her description.
‘Wait a minute!’ Hope filled Jen’s mind, replacing the horror that was there just a second ago. ‘Does this mean…”
“That trip will be to go get your friend Maddie,” Queen Mistress Heather finally finished the initial job description with the result Jen had been hoping for.
‘Hooray! I’m so excited!’ Jen thought, almost out loud, and this time, she was not ashamed to let her face display her emotions.
“Thank you so much, Queen Mistress!” Jen exclaimed in joy, getting up to hug the Queen Mistress before realizing what she was doing and shyly going to sit back down.
“It’s alright; you can come up here,” Queen Mistress Heather invited her up and accepted the hug. A smile had also filled the Queen Mistress’ face as she told Jen the news. “See, Jen, this is why I wanted you to come here and give you this message in person. I love to see the reaction on people’s faces when I get to give them what they requested.”
“This- this is so great, Miss Heather,” Jen could not believe that she was actually going to get to see Maddie again. “Thank you so much! You have no idea how happy you’ve made me.”
“I’m just happy I made you happy,” Queen Mistress Heather stated. “However, before you get too excited, I need to tell you the terms under which you will be allowed to go get Maddie. Don’t worry; they’re not harsh, and I’m sure you’ll think they are reasonable.” Jen sat down and nodded, allowing Queen Mistress Heather to continue, “I am sending one of my most trusted former transporters and my personal servant, Diana, with you to help you find and get Maddie. She will be there to keep an eye on you and make sure you don’t accidentally do anything to harm the Tickle Cartel, as well as to get you there and back. I don’t think you’d do anything on purpose, but I am aware that slip-ups can happen, and she’ll just be there to mitigate that risk. Also, I will be providing the ship, and I have a little tickle dungeon cell on there. I expect it to be used on the way back, both for tickling your friend Maddie and possibly getting tickled by her in there. There will be cameras in there to make sure that you make use of it. On that note, I expect you to practice your tickling skills on the trip there and back. You may feel free to practice on Diana, although she will likely practice on you, too, so be prepared. That’s all I have for you; are those reasonable conditions?”
“Reasonable? I was thinking more desirable, especially with the tickle dungeon cell,” Jen agreed to the terms. “It will also be really nice to have Diana there for company and tickle practice. Admittedly, the chaperone-type role isn’t as desirable, but I know it’s necessary, so I’m happy to go along with it.”
“That’s what I kind of thought you’d say, and it’s a perfectly reasonable response,” Queen Mistress Heather admitted. “I do thank you for agreeing to the terms right away, though. If there was another way to do this, I would choose that way, believe me, but this is necessary. So, you’ll be sailing out in a week, and when you get back, I’ll test Maddie to see what her role in the Tickle Cartel should be, if any.”
‘Right, Maddie isn’t guaranteed a job in the Tickle Cartel yet,’ Jen thought to herself. ‘But if she shows them that she’s as good as I know her to be, they’ll surely take her in.’
