Alexandre Antoine Constantine(IV)POV
I finally decide it's time to get out of the tub. I drain the water and put on a rob after cleaning myself up.
I sway from side to side, obviously drank since I finished the whole bottle of Brandy. I leave the bathroom and see two maids laying down an attire.
"What's that for?" I ask in English
"The Queen asked us to bring it for you, Your Highness" she says, her head down and not looking at me. Obviously another influence of my mother "She said this is what you would be wearing"
Whatever.
"Can you please send someone to make me a cup of coffee?" I ask her and she nods
"Right away Your Highness"
The headache I had a while ago is getting worse, especially since I've drank a whole bottle of Brandy.
The bedroom door opens, and snap my head to see who's there, and lo and behold, the last person I want to see.
"What do you want mother?" I slur
"Qu’est-ce que je veux? Qu’est-ce que je veux? C’est la seule fois où vous devez vous tromper et vous êtes ivre?" She fumes, slamming my bedroom door shut
[Translation: What do I want? What do I want? This is the only time you have to right your wrongs and you are drunk?]
"Wrongs? What wrongs mother? Let me tell you that leaving the palace was the best decision I have ever made!"
"Alexandre Constantine!" She yells "Je ne veux pas que tu me parles comme ça."
[Translation: I will not have you talk to me like that]
I simply roll my eyes and decide not to reply, my headache getting worse.
She goes to the small kitchen I have in my room and rummages through the cabinets and takes out an Advil. If only she was going this because she actually cares.
The maids come in with my coffee, and I gladly take a cup.
"D’où ça vient?" She asks the maid, who looks frightened because of the tone my mother is using
"I asked her to make me a cup of coffee"
My mother's gaze snaps to me, "Lorsque je leur parle, n’interrompez pas et permettez-leur de répondre"
[Translation: When I am talking to them, do not interrupt and allow them to answer]
"Take it away. I'll make him one over here." She says before looking at me "Put that back" she says
"Mother don't tell me you are going to make a huge deal out of a cup of coffee as well. Besides, they know how I like my coffee. And it's not black like you do it"
"Rich people take black coffee"
"Says who?" I scoff
"Don't scoff at me. It's a norm"
"Mother please leave my room" I tell her before turning to the maid "Don't worry. You can go now" I say with a smile before she bows, leaving in a hurry
