the Warrior's prince

Confusions

Serena

" Excuse me your majesties, but what do you mean you need the girl." Uncle Duval asked, as his voice started to raise. I knew what the king and queen were thinking, and so did Uncle duval. They wanted me to take care of their son because he was in terrible danger. It was not my fault I did not want to work at the castle, I have heard all of the rumors of how disrespectful Prince Ethiel was, and in my world I do not do disrespectful people.

"Yes we want serena harris, she is the only person we could find within my son's age range." The queen replied, staring at me with interest and amusement. I did not get what was so amusing about this situation. She wanted to take me away from my family, she knew they all depended on me, even Uncle Duval needed my help taking care of five children. Why would she try to take me away when we were all trying our best just to eat bread and cheese at least once a day. I had two sisters and three brothers to take care of. Though we had my uncle, he wasn't going to stay with us forever. One day he would find a woman he really loved and wouldn't be able to take care of us everyday like he's doing now. He would have his own family to take care of and although we would always matter to him, we wouldn't matter as much.

"Your Majesty I'm very sorry if this is going to sound disrespectful, but I cannot and will not leave my family just to go live at your castle to take care of your son. He is an eighteen year old boy, I personally think he can take care of himself." I scowled, not even bothering to bow to her. She was getting me angry just by telling me to take care of her son. What could an eighteen year old boy possibly need for me to take care of him day and night?

Uncle Duval turned around to stare at me, since I was probably one step away from getting hanged for disobeying royalty. "What my niece meant was that she isn't sure if that is the best job for her. Surely there is a lot of young boys that would jump at the opportunity to protect your son.... even if it meant their own death." His head was now a greenish-purple color. I could tell he was getting mad because the same thing used to happen to my mom when I disobeyed her rules.

"Surely Monsieur Duval, I do not think your niece would like to bed men for living would she now?" The queen said as she smiled a very dirty smile to my uncle." As the queen of Leniopia I could make your niece's life incredibly miserable just because she did not agree to protect my son." I looked at her in shock. We all realized that her son was in terrible danger, but it did not give her the right to get angry towards me. It is probably her son's fault that mundanes were after him. He always had a way of making everything and everyone hate him. It seriously wasn't my fault he was a conceited jerk....like the mundanes always say. My life was not the easiest, and I did not need a queen telling me what and what not to do. She might be queen of Leniopia but I was not her slave. She might also be a fullsome woman but that did not give her the right to come here and threaten my family. I took three steps forward, my eyes locking with hers. I did not realize she had icy grey-green eyes that looked as if they were looking straight through my soul. If I was the same girl I was ten years ago, I would've been terrified but now I didn't feel a thing. Her eyes were beautiful but they were scary at the same time.

"Again your queen, I mean no disrespect but if you hurt my family in any way, I promise your death will come sooner than you thought it would." i snarled. Her eyes were burning inside my soul as I looked at her. From what I have heard she was supposed to be incredibly nice and incredibly gorgeous, but all I saw in front of me was an evil woman that looked like she had no soul.

" We do not want you to act as a body guard. We want you to do it in secret, become his fere,but do not let him know that his life is in danger." The king said as he snapped me out of his wife's gaze. I looked up at him to see his eyes softening as I realized that maybe he understood where I was coming from. I remember hearing stories about how he lived on the streets for years before he found his queen. I'm not usually the one for the romantic stories, but how they met was truly the most romantic thing I had ever heard in my life, but that story is for another day.

"I completely understand sire, but I have a family, and if you did not realize I do not have a father or a mother to take care of them once i leave!" I yelled. I knew I was being disrespectful to my king and queen, but i did not care. "A life is something that was supposed to be precious" I heard these words everyday, but how is a life precious if everywhere you went there was always twists and turns? In one more year I was supposed to be able to go to my own adventures, i was supposed to feed my family and protect my universe. Leniopia was the planet I grew up in, but now instead of living the life I wanted I'm going to be working in a castle with a boy that I've never met before. The stories about him did not help either, all I've ever heard was how he bedded with more girls than a mundane.( mundane stands for human by the way) I hated boys or men that took women for granted and he was definitely made it to my list.

" Please Serena I beg of you, I know you do not like my son but this is important. He is not the only one at stake, If my son is gone then all of Leniopia is in danger.....Please" The king said as I tried my best to not look up to meet his eyes. His voice sounded as if he was desperate for me to say yes. Thinking about this was one of the hardest decisions of my life, For starters I wanted to do it meaning more coins for my family so they could be able to eat actual food and not just things we see on the streets that looks clean. After the death of my mother, Uncle Duval had to quit his job as a mentor to take care of us, The only downside about this was that I wouldn't be able to see my family for a while.. After thinking and thinking about it I finally decided on my decision which could probably end me.

I sighed. "I........"
