The King

chapter 3

Lady emma walked out of my bathroom, together with Harry. His hair still a little damp from the bath.

"Sir, how can I repay you for all of this" harry asked once he was standing in front of me.
"There is no need to repay it. You do enough for me, harry. But now you better go on with your work. Before the queen finds you here"
"Will do sir. Once again thank you, milord"
He then quickly walked out of the room. But not before grabbing the tray of tea, leaving the biscuits on the table.

"Louis, your sister will be at diner tonight. But she would like to know what for you want to talk to her"
"Thanks for asking her, I just want to talk to her about how things are going right now. I did not speak to her for so long" I sighed.
"I will tell her, goodbye Louis"
"Bye Emma!"

Harry's P.O.V

I walked out of prince Louis' his room, still a bit confused on what just happened in there.
As I walked down the corner towards the workers rooms, and also the kitchen, I bumped into someone.
I quickly looked up and was very shocked to see Queen Johannah.

"I am very sorry myQueen. I wasn't looking where I was going."
"You are Harry right? You work in the kitchen if I am not mistaken right?"
"Yes myQueen. I do work in the kitchen"
"Then why aren't you there right now?!"
" I just brought the Prince his Tea and biscuits, myQueen."
"Oh, so I was right. Do not be frightend of me boy. I heard what that other worker has done to you. I hope you will be able to still do your job?"
" ofcourse myQueen."
"Good, but just to be sure take today off. Go to your room and try to get some rest my dear. What happened to you isn't easy."
"Thank you myQueen" she nodded and walked back towards the kitchen.
I turned around and made my way over to my room.
Turned the corner again, and took the first hall on the left, and then the second hall on the left. The first room is mine, actually I am the only one with a room in this hall.

As I stood infront of my door, I noticed that my key wasn't in my trousers any more.
Oh no... they are still in my old pants, the one I left in the prince his room.
How can I be this stupid?!
I can not go up there and ask him.
But what can I do now?

Louis' P.O.V.

I walked into my bathroom, I should clean up Harry clothes before someone might find them. I already picked up his blouse, undergarments and his little jacket, but when I grabbed his pants, I felt something.
I put the rest of his clothes back down again and looked at the pants, what might be in here?
I searched them until I found a key.
It was one of the castle room keys, better yet, a workers room key.
I think that some one will have trouble to get into their room.
The key did have a number on it, the number 2022.

I grabbed the rest of his clothing and made my way out of the room.
I quickly walked through the castle, towards the workers halls. I hope Harry will be there, otherwise he won't be able to go into his room haha. Okay that's a bit harsh. I need to find him as soon as I can.

"Goodafternoon sir" a worker said as she bowed.
"goodafternoon, would you mind helping me?"
" that's my duty isn't it sir, how can I help you?"
" I am searching for the one who lives in room 2202, do you happen to know this person?"
"Yes sir, I do know him, his name is Harold, I just saw him walking toward his room. Should I walk you to it sir?"
"That would be nice, thank you"
She bowed again and started to walk, so I followed her.
"It's the first door on the left after you turned the corner."
"Thank you so much, ...."
"Safra,sir"
"Thank you safra" she bowed again and walked off.

I turned the corner and there next to the door sat Harry, with closed eyes he looks almost a sleep.
I walked a little closer and he still didn't notice me.

"Don't you have work to do, Harold" Harry quickly shoot up looking very shocked.
"Your mother, I mean the Queen gave me the rest of the day off sir."
"And why are you not in your room then?"
"Uhm, I..."
"You forgot this didn't you" I said holding his room key up.
He nodded his head and tried to grab it, but I pulled it away from him.
"not so fast, you know it's not good to leave thing in my room, I am the prince remember''
''I am very sorry, sir. how can I make it up to you?'' ''well, I think you should, let me think. give me a kiss right here'' I said pointing towards my cheek.
'' what sir? I-''
''I am joking, harry. I know what Tom has done to you. let's get you into your room okay'' I said as I pushed him a side just lightly though, and I opened his door.

''so this is where the workers stay? kinda boring'' I said as I walked further in. ''I am very thankful for what I have, sir'' ''I see, I see.'' his room has grey walls, one bad in the corner of the room, with grey blankets, a simple desk with a few books on it and it smells a bit weird. there is also a closet next to his bed, but other then that his room is pretty empty.
'' so what do you normally do? like their is nothing here.'' Harry stood there, looking very uncomfortable. not daring to say a word, it almost seems. ''you probably work all the time do you?'' harry nods his head, but still not daring to say a word. ''well then, guess I leave you to it then, here are the rest of your clothing as well, I hope that you will enjoy the rest of your day off, and if you want to see what will happen to that guy that hurt you, his execution will be tonight after dinner. now get some rest, you will need it'' I then walked out of his room.

before going back to my own room, I decided to walk to the kitchen first. as I entered the kitchen all the workers where shocked to see me and started to work even harder, like they have to, I won't hurt them.
''It's just me, just relax guys. but I need to ask something first'' I said with a smirk.
