CHAPTER 6

""How?" is the only thing that Natasha can think about. They've always been extra careful not to attract unwanted attention, she's sure about that. But then how did their love reach the King's ears? She doesn't have an explanation.

"And to think I was so happy, in the end, when Bess demanded you as her personal maiden." The King smiles bitterly "I was convinced that she had finally accepted her status as a Princess and understood the irrelevant role the servants play in her life..." There's a moment of silence, then Sedov adds "I should have known from the beginning. But I'm not going to let thy sin persist over time. From today you'll never see my daughter again, you are relieved of your job as her personal maiden and you'll never get close to her again.”  The red head stares at the ground, her eyes burning due to the tears building up in them as the King's hard words sink in. She dreaded the arrival of this day. from the moment she sets her eyes on the Princess and their heart connected. Bess had promised to her that if this day ever came, they would face her father together and that one way or another they would come out of this together. 
But now Natasha is alone. Bess is not here to save her or support her. She needs to stand up for herself, she must assert herself, even if it's not her field. She's not the strong and courageous one between the two. But she still collects all the courage she has so she raises her head and affirms "It will never happen, Sir" The King looks at her with a raised eyebrow "I'm sorry what did you just say?" The redhead gulps loudly before answering "Me and your daughter love each other and not even you with your plans and projects will be able to divide us.”
The king bursts into a thunderous laugh, one of those that make your blood freeze, then he starts talking. "Foolish little girl. Love doesn't bring anything. My daughter doesn't even know what love is! And so do you. Because, otherwise you would know that a love between a royal and servant does not exist, and that the love between two women is just a dirty and reluctant Sin!" "But Sir-'' Natasha tries to speak, but the voice dies in her throat as the King's hand closes more and more around her slender neck, squeezing it almost to the point that it's difficult for her to breathe. 
"You don't have a say in this slut. I've already made my decision, you won't get near my daughter ever again." The Kings go on "And now consider yourself lucky maiden, cause I'm giving you a choice: either you obey or I'll send you back to your family. I bet your father will be happy to be able to correct his daughter in person and bring her back to the right path." Natasha's eyes widen hearing the King talks about her father. The very few tears that were rolling down her cheeks turned into a full blown river. Her lungs are burning from the loss of air and her neck is aching, but the King's grip is not going to loosen any time soon. As she looks into his eyes, her mind is somewhere else, traveling back to her childhood, remembering her father's harsh punishments and imagining what would happen if she goes back now. For a second she's almost ready to give in, then Bess's beautiful smile appears in her mind and all Natasha’s focus is on her beloved Princess. "What would happen to her if we decided to fight?" The maiden asks herself "Would they torture her?l Kill her? Kick her out?" Natasha can't bear these thoughts, she can't beat the idea of seeing her lover in pain or getting hurt because of her. So she decides to make what she thought was the best decision to make Bess happy. Little does she know that she's Bess' happiness. 

"I’ll obey…” She chokes out in a tiny voice as the King smirks finally letting her breath. "Smart choice for a slutty maiden like you, I'm impressed.” The King comments while walking on the other side of the room where he pulls a rope that provokes a loud sound. "Now, a guard will escort you to the princess room where you'll inform her of your recent decision. And you better not say a word about what happened here.”
Natasha's heart sinks at the news that she has in some way to break up with Bess, and at some point she even starts regretting her decision, but it's too late to take it back so she tries her best not to let it show as the King dismissed her. 

As Sedov said, a guard is waiting for Natasha right outside the door but that's not what worries the maiden. In fact her mind is struggling to figure out a way to hide the red mark that surrounds the pale skin of her neck, like a precious necklace. She wouldn't know what to say to her Lady if she found out. So all the way from the throne room to the Princess' chambers, Natasha tidies her voluminous,curly,red hair on her shoulder as best she can and tries to prepare a convincing speech to recite to Bess so that she doesn't try to fix things. 

But when she finds herself in front of the familiar door she starts thinking what would really happen if she tells Bess the truth. Maybe there's a solution or another way to face the situation.
Maybe she just has to trust her lover.
