All Hail The King

Chapter 4

The next day quickly came around. Y/n was planning to meet up with Micah yet thought it would be a little risky for her to do so soon. She didn't know specifically the timings of when Andrias would visit her as his schedule was different every day because of that she didn't want a situation where Andrias wouldn't find her in the bedroom if she decided to leave whenever.

Yesterday she had arrived minutes before a maid had come to her room. If Y/n took any longer getting back to her bedroom then trouble would have arisen and that was the last thing she wanted as she had just discovered her newfound freedom.

Y/n figured that to be careful, she had to find out the schedule for Andrias today and the timings so she would know when to leave and return. She just hoped that he wouldn't get too suspicious as she hardly asked him about his schedule.

"Andrias?" Y/n quizzed. Andrias hummed in reply and looked up from his book that was currently in his hand. Sometimes the two of them wouldn't talk often but rather just enjoy each other's presence as they were doing now with Andrias reading a history book and Y/n practising embroidery, which she wasn't good at but only practised to pass time.

"You're going to be going off now, right?" Andrias had told her earlier on that he would have to attend to some work that his father gave him to complete.

"Yes, unfortunately," he sighed.

"What time will you be back? I just want to know if you're going to take long or not," she said.

"I'm not sure. It might take a while as I'll have to leave the palace to do my work so around the evening I should be back," he explained.

Wonderful!

"I see. Don't take too long," a slight smirk appeared on Andrias' face.

"Why? Because you'll miss me," he teased.

"No," Y/n replied in a monotone voice. "It's just so I don't get too bored around here," she added.

Andrias smiled at the girl. "Of course, of course," he tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear, staring at her beautiful face. Y/n noticed his staring and slightly tilted her head to the side.

"What is it? Is there something wrong with my face," Y/n's hand unconsciously went up to her face. Andrias quickly shook his head.

"No. There's nothing wrong. I just zoned out," he reassured. "I've got to leave now."

"Bye, Andrias."

"Goodbye, Y/n. Make sure to eat your lunch," he mentioned. The little reminder instantly caused Y/n to remember something pertinent.

The maid usually brought lunch to her when it was about twelve, which was the same time as when Micah had asked to see her again. She couldn't skip lunch as the maid would report it back to Andrias who would get worried and start asking her questions and she didn't want to put up with that.

Y/n didn't really have much of a choice but to eat her lunch as quickly as she could and then see Micah but the maids would come back for her tray after about an hour so she would still need to stay behind in her room before she left.

It meant that Y/n wouldn't be able to see Micah until after an hour after the time he proposed. She mentally cursed herself for not realising the current predicament she was in, yesterday. Now, Micah would probably wait for some time before leaving, thinking that she didn't want to see him again.

Y/n thought about what she could do until a solution quickly came to mind. All she had to do was tell the maid to pick up her tray about fifteen minutes later. It usually didn't take her long to eat her lunch anyways. That way, she wouldn't have to skip lunch and still have the chance to meet Micah if he was willing to wait around for a few minutes.
