The Lost Prince ( On hold)

Part Eight

"May I come in , My Highness ? " I asked nervously standing outside her chamber's entrance . One maid came out of the darkened room with a straight and dull expression on her face .

"This is Queen's Painting time . Come after two hours " And she closed the curtains on my face .

What ? Painting Time ? Were they serious ?Everything had fixed times . How could he just kiss me like that ? If there were any rights to maids here i would have definitely filed a complaint against him . But NO. Women are just objects of pleasure to them .

Maybe I should really arrange something for Prince to eat . The kitchen was full of maids . Dinner was already late because of the unexpected execution .I took some fruits and a jar of juice . No one questioned me about it . Meanwhile I had made the whole sentences to say if someone inquired about it . Strange people !

On my way , I felt my stomach growled . But ignored the urge to eat even though I could have eaten something from the plate . Who would know about it though ?

My feet stopped right before the Prince's room . No door , No Bell. The only option.

"May come in , My Lord?" My voice broke in between due to the last encounter .

"Yes. Come in !" His voice deep and lazy called me . I didn't want him to be half naked again . But to my good luck , he was cleaning his sword . I put the food on the table .

I felt a cold metal touching the back of my neck . His sword! My heart beat harder. He was going to Behead me ..

The sword roamed around my back .He threw my hair on the right shoulder . his head rested on my left side of neck .His lower body pressed on my back . I could feel his excitement beneath the layers of our clothes .He touched my cheek with the tip of the sword .And pressed himself more into my body . I lost my balance and was going to fell when he caught me again .

"You are late again . I am too hungry ."His breath smelled of wine . The dry and strong hands were holding me by my stomach . I was so afraid because anything could happen when these Royals were drunk .

"I .. um I mean The food is on the table .And dinner is getting ready ." I gulped down the saliva .

He pierced the sliced apple with his sword and raised it to my mouth.

"I am not hungry , My lord ." I replied slowly .

"Then why is your stomach singing melodies , My dove." I felt the heat rushed to my cheeks .I should have eaten something on the way . With a lot of resistance , I took a bite and slowly chewed it . The Prince to my surprise ate the half piece .

"I think you should sit and eat My lord." My knees were already weak with him attached to me . His body heat was literally making me go crazy . This was molestation!

The Prince sat on the bed but in the process I too sat on his lap . I instantly tried to stand up . But his gripped on my arms tightened .

"Please let me go ." I cried and the tears finally fell off my eyes .

"Hey! Stop . " It was like he regained his senses back . His arms left me and I stood up wiping the tears .

"Christ! I am so sorry for all this . I .." He ran his hands in his hair . "I was drunk . Please Stop crying . I didn't mean it ." He tried to hold my hand . But I moved back

"Please , my lord . Don't do this to me . You have so many females here . Please let me go " I told him straight .

"What ? Other females? why don't you get it ? I feel something for you . I knew it the instant I saw you . It is like I know you from my dreams ." His pupil dilated and I looked into his eyes . Dreams! Even I had vivid dreams of being chased by someone in the forest. We kept on looking into each other's eyes . Until ..

"ALARIC!" the king shouted standing all angry and red faced . But the prince was not at all distracted . So I walked away and adjusted my hair and dress .

"LEAVE! "The king commanded . I instantly walked out . The prince frowned and finally acknowledged his Father's presence .

Prince Rodriquez's Chamber :

"Why did you kill the woman ? She could have told us more about their conspiracy ." The king howled . The prince was smiling lightly .

"Now they won't dare to continue that conspiracy , Father " Prince replied shrugging his shoulders

"Who do you think you are ? I am the king . Just don't do anything without my permission . Do you get that ?" The prince nodded to make his father leave fast . There was no point in debating with him .

The king shook his head and walked to the exit . But turned around .

"And stay away from that New MAID . " He said bitterly .

"Who is advising me ?" The prince laughed so loud that the king felt embarrassment too on him .

"That was a mistake , Alaric . Everybody knows it . I don't want you to do the same thing ."The king's voice was now calm .

"This is not a MISTAKE , father. I won't leave her ." His eyes shone . And voice filled with confident . The king watched him for a second , and then left .

Alaric kissed the tear on his palm . He shouldn't have made her cry . He went too far , too early .

But it was just he couldn't control him from touching her . Because

She was HIS DREAM LADY after all !!
