The Diamond In The Rough✓

CHAPTER 17:

Lady Hellen in the media:

As I kept going through my thoughts, the huge double doors swung open and everyone began rushing to do one thing or another.

And there she was.

Lady Hellen was really beautiful; clear, pale glass like skin, beautiful dark eyes and hair like fire.

She was the main standard of beauty everywhere.

But her beauty didn't mean she was kind at all. Besides, that was the least of my problems.

I quickly rushed over to the King's chair and pulled it out for him.

The dining table was quite lengthy and the king sat at the head of the table. Where he should.

By his left, was Lady Hellen.

After his seat was pulled out, I quickly made it my point of duty to arrange his food and serve him, pour out a class of water and blood.

Whichever he prefers.

I couldn't help but get I scared, my hands were even shaking but I had to pull through so I wouldn't slip up.

And then it happened.

"have you no idea on how to serve someone? You're making a mess out of everything! Stupid slave"

Prince Xander was having a fit and gave Eri a harsh slap that sent her on her knees.

I felt so sorry, sad and angry. Prince Xander was the epitome of my hatred.

How could he do this to her?

It's not like she did anything wrong! She never did anything wrong. Everything wasn't to his liking no matter how perfect she was.

And besides she's too weak from how he's been treating her.

My heart literally began to ache.

Nadia didn't look too good either. I could see she was trying to swallow her tears as to not make a scene.

And what hurt the most was that everyone was acting like he didn't just hit her publicly.

Why didn't anyone do anything?

"honestly you've been useless since the first day you were sent to me!" he boomed.

"Xander...that's enough!" Prince Alex said calmly as he cut his meat.

"Fuck off. This has nothing to do with you" he hissed.

He seemed on the verge of hitting her with a whip if one was nearby.

"Xander!" the King growled and all form of movement stopped.

"that's enough! Sit down" he seemed really pissed with him but I thank him for speaking out.

"you may discipline your slave in your private chambers and not here" he lowered his voice.

"but-"

"don't make me get up" the King cocked a brow and I heard Xander grumble before folding his arms.
