The Prince And The Peasant

{32}

"booooooooooh!"

"Aaaaaarh" I was so enchanted by the beauty of the valley that I didn't hear anyone sneak behind me.

"Huh you squeal like a pig" prince Holden Pompilius said laughing his royal bum off.

"Holden! You scare the living daylights out of me" I scolded the silly prince but he merely continue laughing. During my stay at the palace we become good friends and we goofed arround alot

"Daniela! How can  you address the prince by his first name it's very rude. I am sory my prince! Please forgive my cousin she doesn't know our ways" Catherine said gasping and doing a funny bow, she must have escorted him to my quarters. She is so infatuated with the prince that he is all she talk about at the dinner table.

"Thanks alot lady Montefiore for escorting me" the prince said to a tomato red Catherine

"It's my pleasure my prince" she said fanning her self with her fingers causing Adrian to snort, they really don't get along. If she had the power to fire him , he will be long gone.

"Now Daniela my best friend let's go catch up ,the palace have been boring without you" holden said winking at me , Catherine gasped and stared wide eyed at our retreating backs. Adrian was laughing out loud now, he won't let her live this one down. She huffed and run out of my quarters.

"Holden why did you give the girl a reason to murder me in my sleep? That girl hate me just because I am breathing" I complained as we sit down.

"Oh come on Danny she only hate you because you are more beautiful than her and she knows it" Holden said laughing more.

"Huh! Do you know she put pepper in juice the other day but then she took the wrong glass when she served" I told Holden making him burst into a fit of laughter.

"Oh I wish I was there to see her facial expressions when she realised she is drinking the glass she tempered with"

"So how have you been my prince? Find any girl you like?" I wiggle my brows and bat my eyelashes at him for emphasis.

"Nope! Just alot of eye batting and empty flattery, if you were not married I will marry. I know with you we are going to have fun and no talk about the weather and the embroidery" Holden said pouting. He is so adorable when he is not in prince mode , he is fun to have around

"Too late my prince, this duchess is already spoken for"

"So? Did you confirm if you are pregnant or not? Please tell me I am going to be an uncle!" He whispered to me, one can never be careful walls have ear.

"Jeah I did and you are going to be a silly uncle. You know they actually bought the story that I am recently widowed before I came here"

"Omg! That's great news now you have to take care of my nephew ok"

Holden stayed for few hours with me before he have to go back to the palace. We talked alot about the conflict in my kingdom, baby names and we even played hide and seek. It was Holden idea when we got bored but if you ask me it was fun. There is alot of drama in this house , especially from Catherine.

I just don't get her sometimes, she have everything but she is still threatened by my presence. I have been living here for two months now and uncle and George has finally accepted me into the family but Catherine and her mother still treat me as an outsider.

I am going to eat diner now, I am so hungry that I can eat a horse whole.i am one of the lucky woman who don't get morning sickness . apart from the occasional dizziness and big appetite me and my baby are doing quite well.

I was very happy the day I found out I was pregnant .so happy I even fainted, I have to listen to Adrian and Damien joked about it for a full week.

I will do anything for my baby I will move heaven and earth for her or him. I wish Jordon was here to watch our child grow in my woub, I pray to God everyday so that one day my husband will be able to meet our child.

The hope of seeing him one day is the only thing that keeps me going.i am now four months pregnant, five more and I will be able to hold and kiss our child the crown prince or princess of the kingdom of Uqbyland.

"Daniela dear! Did you let the prince know you are with child already? You know he cannot marry you, no need to lead him on" Phoebe Catherine mother said in a fake sweet tone. The only time she use it with me it's when she is trying to insult me indirectly like right now. Catherine was smiling like a cashire cat.

" Auntie Phoebe! Best friends tell each other everything, the Queen even congratulated me personally" I answered her I sweet voice too making her gasp and Phoebe to spill her drink. Grandpa chuckle to himself and continue eating his food.

We have really become very close with grandpa Daniel through the past months. He tell each other stories about my grandpa and just read together in the library. I know I can never replace him but with grandpa Daniel arround it sometimes feel like a have a piece of him back.
