PART 9: The heart of a slave.

TIME SKIP TO A YEAR LATER

Sky's POV:

It has being a year now and a lot of things has been happening, like now I could read and write because of the prince who has taught me a lot. The prince's sister, princess Zina, returned recently and she was a lovely person just like her brother. 

I had just discovered the feelings I had for the prince which I knew were wrong but I could not help it. Lady Julia always threatened me to stay away from her man and any time I did what she said, he always came after me saying he won't stop following me till I talked to him. How was I supposed to avoid him then? 

Prince Ronaldo was to finally get married to Lady Julia, I know, I was jealous but I am nothing but a slave so why should I worry but what hurts most was that I let him sleep with me when he was drunk. I could remember it very clearly.

Flash back begins: (A week ago)

It was at a banquet set aside to celebrate the engagement of the princess to a ministers son, everyone was happy during the celebration as they all chatted and drank wine then danced around the ball room.

"Sky, come over here" the queen called me to her side as she smiled widely. She wasn't drinking wine like the rest, she was sipping from her glass cup filled with apple juice.

"Yes your majesty?" I bowed a little as she nodded for me to stand straight. 

"I want you to help Ronaldo up to his chamber, then tuck him in for the night" she said nodding in the direction where Ronaldo stood with a sleepy look on his face. I nodded and hurried up to help him up to his chambers. As we were walking, prince Ronaldo was kissing my neck and murmuring how I looked so delicious that he could eat me. I laughed a little but ignored what the kisses he placed on the back of my neck was doing to my body.

"Sky you have a really dark shade of hair" he said in awe, he soon stood still as I tried to drag him towards his chamber but he wouldn't move. I was soon dragged into the nearest room with him relaxing on the door as he watched me with a dark look lingering in his stare.

"Prince Ronaldo, please let me get you to your chamber so I could get back to my duties" I said as he shook his head and locked the door. I knew I should be scared but I wasn't. He stalked towards me with a wild look as I looked at the floor feeling uncomfortable to look up at the prince who towered over me.

"You are so beautiful Sky, so innocent, so loveable, so oh my dear lord, there are a lot of things you are" he said as he made me look up at him. His eye were trained on my lips as his face came down, causing our foreheads to touch before his lips brushed mine. I should stop him but I didn't as the kiss got heated and you could guess what that led to. 

As he passed out I felt so ashamed of myself, dressing up I wiped the tears that rolled down my cheek. This shouldn't have happen but it did, so time to act like it never happened. Sniffing I took a deep breath then left the room and headed back to the slaves quarters to wallow in sadness.

FLASHBACK ENDS HERE

Lately, Princess Zina has been acting strange but no one seems to know why but I have taken it upon myself to find out. Her marriage was in two days time and everyone has been busy lately. Her husband to be always sends this strange dark vibe across to me and I was always scared around him. His smiles are so fake but they don't seem to notice it. Princess Zina was just like her older brother prince Ronaldo, she was friends with everyone and she spoke to me most of the time so I will use this to make her trust me and tell me what was wrong.

"Good day princess" I said with a bow as I stood before her in her chambers. She looked at me with a sad smile as I served her breakfast. As she ate I began my questions.

"Princess, I have noticed that nowadays you have been sad" I stated as she stopped eating to look at me then smiled genuinely before she spoke.

"Wow, you are the only one who has noticed" 

"Yes princess"

"The truth is I don't want to marry the ministers son" she said as her eyes began to water, immediately I rushed and sat beside her, opening my arms as she accepted the hug and began to sob.

"Why, I thought you loved him?" she shook her head then looked up at me

"It was an arranged marriage my daddy made with the minister for the election ticket. Sky he is a very bad man, he tried to rape Menka who my father threatened to kill if she spoke about it" she sobbed more as I processed what she just told me. "I can't do anything about it Sky and he is already married" she continued crying. 

"I don't know what to say" I said feeling helpless. 

"No one knows except my father" she cried some more as I whispered comforting words to her, she soon slept off as I laid her down slowly on the pillow and covered her up with the comforter.

I have to stop this one way or another, so I rushed off to meet Prince Ronaldo who was in his usual location, sitting in the garden playing his flute.

"Prince" I called out as he stopped and looked up at me with a bright smile which sent shivers down my spine. I sat beside him as he asked what was wrong. Narrating what I know to him all he did was stare at me, I should have known that he would not believe me. Then I left him to think of how I could help her, since I know no one would believe me.

TIME SKIP (TWO DAYS LATER):

I had confronted the minister's son but all he did was laugh as he agreed to what I had said. Good thing the princess gave me a recorder when I told her what I wanted to do, she had said that if anything happened to her that I should give the queen the recorder.

Today was the wedding, the princess told me to bring her mother to the balcony in front of the garden where everything was being set up as some guest were seated together.

As we got there, we saw her struggling with the ministers son. She was telling him she wasn't going to get married to him because he is a very wicked man. The queen listened to all her daughter said and believed her instantly.

"Let go of her at once" the queen commanded but he ignored the command and pressed her to his chest. Lady Julia stood shocked at the corner with a gun which confused me as to why she was with it. The queen didn't know what to do, as lady Julia put the gun down on the floor, at the sight of the gun the queen picked it using it to threaten the young man.

"IF you try anything woman I would break her neck" he snapped back.

As he moved the princess a little out of his way the queen pulled the trigger as it hit him on his chest but he put the princess in front on him just as the queen shot the second time, hitting her daughter on the chest by mistake. The both of them fell from the balcony as screams filled the air.

I rushed to the queen kneeling before her and collected the gun, telling her to keep quiet that I would take the blame. I handed her the recorder which I told her to hide away from others seeing it and made her promise to listen to it. The police soon arrived, I held the gun as the police looked around before seeing the gun with me as the speechless queen cried.

"Did you shoot that gun?" I nodded in response as they picked me up and the gun fell to the floor, I was in tears but I took the blame.
