The Slave King 》AU

Chapter 4

Recap:

"Mum what is this place?"

"Well I am...

-------------

"Well I am part of a secret rebellion."

I just stand there too shocked to say anything.

"Hunny? Are you okay?" Mum was extremely concerned at my pale blank face. 

I tried to form words to say to mum but no words came out. 

"Rebecca sweetie say something." Mum worried as people behind her used some high tech equipment to do weird things that I'm afraid to find out what it is.

"Rebellion against what." I whisper almost inaudible.

And that's where I felt a pang in my chest. Her face fell and was pale, probably like mine.

"Mum. Rebellion against what?" I sternly repeated.

"Y-your father. And the monarchy." Mum answered, sounding a bit disappointed with herself.

Shocked, I take a step back feeling as if my own mother was a traitor to our family.

"I-I know that dad has been an arse lately, but that doesn't mean you go and betray the family."

She sighed, "Hunny, this isn't because of your father. I have been in this rebellion since I have heard about it right before he and I met."

"Oh, so you used him? Just to get into the castle? Is that it? Did you just want his money so then when you get rid of him it won't matter!?" I burst out.

Mum's face was blank. I couldn't tell how she was feeling. But I coudln't stay and look at this woman who I cal my mother. So I turned around and walked away, tears brimming my eyes as I head to my bedroom. I could hear mum calling after me about a minute later, probably because she had to seal the secreat lair back up.

I run to my room and slam it shut, not caring if it's not lady like. Sitting on my bed, I let the sobs release and the tears fall. Within about 5 minutes of crying, I hear a voice coming from my bathroom.

"Um... P-Princess? Wh-What are you doing here?" Liam walked in with a towel on. Dam why does he have to be so hot!?

I sniffle, "This," I clear my throat, "this is my room. So what are you doing in my bathroom?"

He shook his head, "With all do respect Your Highness, but if you look at the door, it says Liam. And if I didn't know, I would say that my name is Liam."

I gave him a look which made him shut up. I got up and walked away since I did realize that this wasn't my room.

"Princess, if I may." He said walking to me standing in my way to walk through the door. "Are you ok? I mean, the princess shouldn't be crying unless- correction. The princess shouldn't be crying at all. For she is too beautiful to have tears fall down her perfect face."

Liam's statement caught me by surprise. No one has ever spoken to me that way before, not even dad. I couldn't say anything. I was too shocked, again.

"I-I am going to get some rest. It has been a long day. You should get some rest as well. You have a long day ahead. First day of training is always the worst."

I walk away to my bedroom and change into a light blue night gown that is down to my mid thigh (Picture on the side) . I pull the covers over and get comfortable in bed and pull the covers back over my body. I lay my head on the big, soft, fluffy pillow and relax into my soft mattress cuddled into my duvet (or comforter whatever you call it) letting sleep take over.
