The Maids'

Chapter 21

                 George Pov

When I was called by prince Desmond into his chamber I knew it was over for me.

                    Flash Back
Upon entering the room I noticed that the table was flipped upside down, I knew I better come plain. I  took a cautious steps towards him maintaining a healthy distance.

"Tell me George, did Iris really write to me" he asked with anger lacing his voice.

No sire, I replied quickly as I cast my head down refusing to meet his gaze.

"Then why did you lie to me over the year" he asked as he picked up his cup and threw it across the room.

I flinch as it hit the wall and shattered in pieces, And said slowly looking at him.
you were hurting sire, and I  know she was too, and you both have feelings for each other so I thought to make you feel better.

"Then did it not occur to you that could have sent the letter to her even once, George? instead you decided to lie to me"  he said quietly.

This tone of voice was what I needed I looked at him with tears brimming on my face and said
I am so sorry I didn't mean to,  I was only trying to help you and relieve you of the pain you're going through sire.

"It's not your fault, I should have gone looking for her myself rather than leave it for just him". he said somberly 

What do we do now, I asked him trying to get back on his good grace

"I have no idea, he said dejected I can't even tell what she's thinking now"

Am so sorry sire, I said yet again my wheels spinning to make the prince have Iris.

"I can't loose Iris George" he admitted looking at me with his emotions all over the place.

A light bulb got switched on in my head as I said to the prince.  I have a way to make Iris yours forever.

"how I am  listening". he said as he watch me like a hawk.

I moved towards him and whispered....

"If I find out that you lied to me again I will have your head on a stake" he said but I could tell he was pleased of my idea.

Yes I I promise sire, to make Iris yours.

                End of flashback
Monitoring her movement was quite an easy task. I knew getting her to be with prince Desmond is my last straw on keeping my head on my shoulder.

But nothing prepared me for what I saw, believe me when I say Irish has
changed a lot. She looks more regal and her beauty took away air from my lungs.

But I don't know that she is not for me to keep. And if I want to keep my head I must make her the Prince Concubine. So I tried to blackmail her but it seems like it wasn't working not until  Prince Nicholas kissed her right in my presence and in the eyes of lots of mates lurking around the palace and I knew there is no way Iris is going to get out of this.

                     Iris Pov
Finally in the comfort of his room I walk towards the jug of water and greedily drank two cups of water.

What I asked as I turn to face Prince Nicholas who was speaking thousands of words with his level gazed.

"Why did the king surmoun you, and why were you talking to George?" he asked

Which should I answer first I looking at him keenly.

"Any one you want" he reported cocking his brows with his arm folded of his broad chest.

I got distracted as I watch the action, holy heavens I can still remember my  hands rubbing on that solid chest.
