The Orphan Girl

Long Live The King

Gabriella POV

I've been walking around serving drinks to these people while Alec was still upstairs with the women he walked in with, I was becoming extremely impatient.

What if he needed help, what if Alec bit of more then he can chew. I can't do very much if I don't know what the hell is going on, and the kings guards are outside.

I need a cue, we can't be here all night. I remember going over steps with him however this wasn't part of the plan, I decided to walk towards the stairs Alec went up. Their were two men guarding it however they were dressed casually, it was very different back in the kingdom were all knights had to wear armour it was as if these men didn't care.

"Hello boys, care for a drink." I asked batting my eyelids at them, they both look at each other for a minute before turning to me.

"They took an oath to not drink and you're tempting them that is kind of cruel however i didn't take an oath and you aren't tempting me."

I turn around and look up to see a man staring down at me, with red hair covering his eyes and a small smirk plastered on his pink lips, I looked at his attire and saw that he was well dressed.

I handed him a glass and poured the wine, looking up at him he was already staring at me.

"Sex apart of your job description ?"

"Excuse me?" I asked turning around

"You didn't hear me?" He asked again, "do you also please men? you know as a second job like most maids here." He asked casually raising an eyebrow.

As much as I wanted to give him a right hook, I knew that it could cost us this mission I quickly shook my head and stared at the wine, how did I get myself into this predicament.

"You're so shy aren't you?" He asked pointing his now empty cup in my direction, I poured him another glass. "Innocent, I like them innocent."

"I just want to do my job in peace"

"Your highness?" He mumbles "damn I know I've been away for a few days but does that mean I'm no longer a prince" he chuckled

My eyes widened as I realised he was a royal, i pretended like I knew shook my head quickly bowing "I'm sorry your highness"

"Please, don't be. It's refreshing, it's always thank you your highness.. should I fetch you another drink your highness... I'll gladly suck your dic-"

"I understand" I quickly say cutting him off

"These days everything seems so provocative, few years ago that maid dress that's very tight on you wouldn't have been acceptable, I'm happy that times are changing" He says staring at my breast not even caring, his lips on his cup as he spoke.

"If it were not for the king non of this would be happening right now, music, laughter, gorgeous women. Long live the king am I right?"

I nodded.

"You don't use your luscious lips much for talking, however I assume you use them for something else."

I felt the need to put on a coat or wrap myself in the pantry potato sack carefully looking around anywhere to see if Alec was giving out a cue I felt a cold liquid going down my back, my eyes widened turning around quickly as two drunk men started fighting their drinks going everywhere.
