The King's Mistress

Chapter 12

(I thought the song went well with this chapter....if not I'm sorry... I just love the song)

I got up slowly trying to figure out the situation of the castle. Maids were at their normal spots. Everything was in order. I even checked the throne room where the party was held and there on his throne was Leo. Hungover from his night of drinking and partying. He sat slouched on his throne looking so undignified and disgusting.
I walk toward him slowly accessing the situation.
"Darling... Well look at you...you came to see me." Leo said.
"Not for the reasons you want" I said.
"You left me dancing alone last night.... Probably ran off with the butler" he said laughing.
"Sounds like something you done with a maid one time" I said.
"Nah I only run off with dignified women" he said trying to stand.
I grab his arm and help him down the hall.
"You need to take better care of yourself." I said.
" I do" he said
" Since when?....all you do is drink and run off to your chambers with filthy women." I said.
"I'm catching a hint of jealousy in your words my dear......your jealous of my women" he said.
"Their not your women...not if you get rid of them after one night...." I said angrily.
I was ready to drop him on the marble floor and leave him there till someone picked him up.
"I kept you" he said.
"Why? Why did you keep me?" I asked.
"I wanted you because you broke my heart....just the sight of you and your sisters. Their mean ways toward you. I wanted to take you in and make you better." He said.
"Lier....you used me and threw me off to the side" I said.
We made it to his room and I half way pushed him to his bed.
He landed with a thud half way hitting the bed and half hitting the floor.
"I loved you...." He said as I was about to walk out the room. "I loved you once too but that pasted" I said slamming the door.
Guards came to me in a hurry.
"What's going on we heard yelling and a door slam" one guard asked.
"Oh just our king in a drunken mess.....mind him and his ways he doesn't know what he says" I warned.
I too became drunk but in the scent of Leo's own breath and words. His warm touch as his body became like a rag doll laying on me. The poor drunk man he knows not what he says to me. Loved me? Who could be so loving and disgusting all in one? Not King Leo. King, the poor man must be insane to be a king and run a kingdom in such a terrible manner.
I began to walk uneasy like the floor was jello. My foot caught on one of the corners of the tile making me fall. I caught myself from hitting my head but my arms got the full blow. They will be sore tomorrow if anything.
