To Keep Her Safe

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

That night, Freen was thinking about a lot of things, Saint and Rebecca spent the whole evening together when it was meant for Freen and Rebecca, the romantic night turned into the worst one for Freen.

Everywhere the two royals went, they attracted attention towards them, people admired them for their standard and their beauty and most of them wished for them to get married.

The evening showed Freen her place, she will always be accepted as her guard but when it comes to being her lover, it will always be hidden. Freen knew she doesn't have a future with the princess, the king would never allow the princess to have a lover who is a commoner and most importantly a poor person.

Rebecca was destined to heir the kingdom, she was going to be the next queen, she would need someone by her side who is equal to her and knows how to handle power, she would need someone who the people will support.

Does Freen fit in all of that ?

Does she have a place ?

Freen was sure that even if she didn't fit in, Saint was fit for all that, he was born for this. She could see why people admired the man and wanted him to marry the next queen. Freen wouldn't be surprised if the king thought the same.

Freen couldn't stop her tears, she was sure that Rebecca and Saint were still playing cards in the princess's bedchamber. Freen didn't realise that in the short amount of time, she got used to Princess's presence when she slept. She thanked that she once took princess's pillow when she escaped from her room with an erection, she was afraid someone would notice it even when she was wearing a hardcast.

She thought about returning the pillow as it was when they didn't agree to be lovers, everyday she couldn't bring herself to give it back, something in herself told her to hold onto that pillow and now she is happy that even if she doesn't have the princess in her arms, she has something that reminds her of her lover.

Freen clutched the pillow tightly and sobbed into it, she regretted a lot of things, she wished for a lot of things.

Is there a possibility ?

That she can end up with Rebecca ?

She didn't know when but after crying for a long time, sleep took over her, the dried tears on her cheek left a stain, she couldn't even notice when Rebecca entered her room and removed her pillow to snuggle with her.

In the morning, Freen woke up with an arm holding her close, she slowly opened her eyes only to see her lover snuggled into her chest, cutely snoring. Freen was shocked to see her here, she thought that Rebecca would sleep alone last night but it turns out her lover needs her like she does when going to sleep.

Freen moved away a little, replacing a pillow with herself, she wasn't wearing her hardcast when she went to sleep as she was confident that no one would disturb her last night and her lover wouldn't be with her but she didn't think it through.

Thankfully her member didn't get aroused in her sleep, she sighed in relief, she turned around to face Rebecca, she didn't think that it would be possible. Last night, she seemed invisible to her or she just couldn't be with her, Freen was looking forward to last night but everything was ruined by prince Saint.

Freen thought about getting a bath, not disturbing Rebecca as she slept peacefully. Freen hesitantly kissed Rebecca's forehead, she had a lot of doubts after yesterday which was not Rebecca's problem.

Rebecca woke up after a few minutes of Freen going to her bathroom for a bath, Rebecca frowned as she sat up on her lover's bed, she thought that she would be greeted with her lover's face but it wasn't the case.
