It's In The Stars ( Yandere Prince x Reader )

Chapter 4: The Scandal

   " This is the fourth time this week, Ray has left me to clean by myself. Are you kidding me? "

You were mopping the ballroom floor. Ray had ditched you once more. You were on your own, mopping the floor. Your hands were sore and your back ached from mopping so much. The night previously you had to help the maids lift boxes of party supplies and you hurt your back. 

Now, your back hurt and ached every time you moved. You heard the doors open as you were mopping and you saw Prince Quinn enter the ballroom.

   " Good afternoon, Prince Quinn. "

   " Good afternoon. Are you cleaning this room alone? "

   " Yes. "

   " I would have thought they would assign you a partner. This ballroom is so big. "

   " They did, she has ditched me for the fourth time this week. "

   " That's not good. Where does she go? "

   " I don't know. I just know I'm left to do this alone. "

   " Let me help you. "

   ' What? '

The prince reached for the mop but you moved it away from him. You held the mop tightly in your grip. The prince looked back up at you and raised his eyebrow. He had a look of content on his face, like usual.

   " Prince Quinn I can't have you clean. This is my job as a maid. You shouldn't be cleaning. This is why I was hired, so you wouldn't have to clean. "

   " But I want to help you. "

   " Your highness, please-"

   " What did you call me? "

He held your chin in his hand gently. You blushed from such close contact. 

   " I-I'm sorry. I meant Prince Quinn. "

   " I'll forgive you this once. Remember next time."

He let go of your chin and grabbed the mop. He started mopping the floor and you grabbed another mop. You started mopping with him. The doors opened dramatically and the princess walked in. She was in clothes this time and she made her way towards you and the prince. 

She took the mop from him and threw it to the floor. You continued to mop pretending you weren't listening. 

   " Why did you tell mother and father about my stands? " She shouted.

   " That is not the way a princess should be acting. You should not be having so many one-night stands. Especially a year before your own marriage. "

   " What does it matter? When did you start caring? Just leave me alone. I'll be out of here in a year so why should we start acting like siblings now? "

   " Mariella, please calm down. "

   " What would mother and father think about your cleaning? What would they think about you helping the maid clean the ballroom? Not a very princely action is it? "

   " It's better than you messing up your bedsheets every day. "

   " Quinn! "

   " Mariella please calm down. You are disturbing the work of the maids. "

   " What like this one? "

She walked up to you and pushed you down on the floor. Your dress was getting wet from the soapy water on the floor. She put her foot on your stomach and looked at Quinn.

   " She's a maid. We can do whatever we want to them. "  

She kicked you away and shoved her brother before leaving the room. The doors slammed behind her as she left. Quinn helped you get off of the floor and you grabbed your mop. 

   " Prince Quinn I think it's best if you leave for now. "

   " Y/n. "

   " I need to finish cleaning. "

You continued to mop and you heard Quinn's footsteps as he left the ballroom. You continued to clean until Elena came into the room.

   " Y/n where is Ray? "

   " I have no idea. "

   " I'll help you finish up. "

With Elena's help, you were able to finish cleaning. You both left the ballroom and put the cleaning supplies away in the maid's closet. Genevive joined you two as you walked to the garden to have lunch. You brought out a sandwich and some snacks to eat.

   " So, Prince Quinn is going to be king in a few months. " Genevive said biting her grapes.

   " Yeah? "

   " Do you think he'll be a good ruler? 

   " Do we have a choice? " You asked taking a bite of your sandwich.

   " No, but I think he'll be a great ruler. I've heard he's been more involved in his father's meetings as of late. " Elena said biting into a strawberry.

   " That's good, maybe he'll do great. " 

   " Maybe-"

Elena's sentence was interrupted by the sound of giggling. The three of you put your lunch down and decided what the sound was. You looked around the red flower bush and saw Ray but not only her, but the king.

   ' What are they doing!? '

You could see Ray sitting on the king's lap. You all turned around and sat back on the concrete bench and ate your lunch quickly. When you were done you went to your room and laid in the bed starring at the ceiling.

   ' What the heck was that?! I'm going to bleach my eyes! '
