I groaned as I rolled around in my bed, being able to hear voices outside of my room.
"She is totally a whore, she's doing something to get on the royal family's good side." "Oh definitely, there is no possible way she moved up that fast!" "We should mark her room with those awful symbols." "Or maybe we can tear up her bed sheets, so she will no longer have a place to sleep."
I sighed and curled into myself, not wanting to get out of bed to start my work. I was supposed to be cleaning the throne room today, but I could not bring myself to get ready. I would be punished severely for this, but anything was better than facing the other maids.
Ever since I had become Asch's secret Mistress, the name calling and bullying got worse. The maids would purposefully try to get me in trouble, even telling the guards that I let them into the rooms they were not allowed. I did not spend every second with Prince Asch, which kind of broke my heart. I had to watch him walk around with the Princess named Crystal. I knew he did not love her, but he could not love me either. I wanted to be with the Prince at all times, but that was not possible. He was going to become King with Princess Crystal, and I would be left behind.
It was almost once a week that Asch and I snuck around together. Whether it be the secret garden, his bedroom, or even the throne room, anywhere we could get peace and quiet. He would take me to my room and lay with me once we were finished, but when I woke up, it was back to being the simple maid for them.
I looked out of my window and noticed the sun was past what time I would have to get up. But I kept my door locked as I silently cried to myself, curling into a ball under my blankets. It was impossible for me to get up; my body was a rock that was sinking deeper into the mattress. The longer I was late, the more punishments there would be. And I knew it was getting closer when I heard the two maids who were outside of my door address someone and scurry away.
I could hear a key be entered into the door and it opened. I quickly pulled the blanket over my head so my body was fully covered. I clasped my hand over my mouth to try to stop the crying, and the fear that was starting to arise. But I did not feel a whip, or the blankets being pulled off of me. All I could feel was a dip in the bed, someone sitting, and then a hand on my back. I didn't want to imagine who it was. Asch would not have time to be here, so it must be his advisor, Rhys. I tried to stop the small sobs falling from my lips, but it didn't work.
I felt the blanket slowly come off of my head, so I shielded my face with my arms. I felt the bed go back to its original position, so I hoped whoever it was had left. But I soon felt them sit on the side I was facing. My arms were slowly pulled from my face and my eyes were finally met with the coal black ones that my Prince had. "Why are you crying, my love?" I tried to turn away from him, but his hand gently placed itself under my chin. He wasn't being forceful, just trying to keep my attention on him. "The door is locked, I have a forcefield around the room. No one can hear us, no one can see us. Tell me what is wrong, please, Y/n."
"Those stupid maids!" I almost yelled, finally sitting up to be face to face with Asch. I was in informal sleeping attire, but I could care less. "They always try to get me punished and I can hear them calling me awful names and saying things they would do to me or my room. They called me a whore, claiming that I could not move up as a maid fast enough, as if I was courting you or Rhal, or any other royal! And all I want is to be with you, my Prince. I cannot stand to see you be with Princess Crystal. You have told me many times that you do not love her, but I am so heartbroken! I wish to become your Queen! I wish to be with you at every second of the day! I can no longer be without you, Prince Asch. Maybe then, I would get away from all of those bad words and bad people, and I can show them how badly I would like to kill-" I was quickly cut off by a caress to my lips. I melted into Asch as he put his hands on my waist to pull me closer to him.
