"I was starving. Not a soul cared.
The nobles and rich do not care for 'dirt-scum' or 'drunk beggars.' Our King is sick and tired. His heir, the Prince, is a pompous, arrogant, self-absorbed fool. At least, I think so. A beggar has no chance at joy, particularly an orphan one. I am destined to a life of dirt, hard floors, cold, starvation, loneliness, and judgement. I am kicked and scorned; insulted and teased; cold and broken."

When Rose meets the Prince her one desire is to show her wrath.
Forced into servitude for an act of rebellion, Rose discovers the Prince is not all she thought. Despite their pasts, wounds begin to heal and hearts begin to open. But not all are supportive of a friendship between a Prince and a servant...

The Prince wanting to change; the beggar needing to heal; a danger racing towards them.
The fight against her heart is about to turn into the fight for her life.

KINDNESS by NazMel258
11 parts Complete
Presently in 1788. Now at twenty-seven years old, Kindness is managing her step-family's flower shop in the town. She overheard the Crown Prince of Italy was hosting two grand balls at the palace. She informed her step-family about the exciting news. Her step sisters, Pearl and Cassandra criticised her; that the prince would have no interest in a maid but she didn't let it bother. For the prince was that last thing on her mind. While shopping, she peeped through the dress shops' windowpane and noticed her step sisters were fighting over a scarf as she laughed. Kindness leaned back against the alley's wall and grabbed an apple from the bag of groceries. She enjoyed the fruit. Until she overheard a commotion of gamblers hollering. They were chasing an Asian-Italian young man dressed in a black long sleeve shirt paired with navy pants and boots. Apparently, he had cheated the men and ran away with their money. Kindness watched the young man jumped across the royals' carriage bumping into her. She yelled falling backwards onto the alley's ground with all the stuff in her hands scattered. He quickly maneuvered himself beneath her cushioning her fall. Her lips pressed against his as her eyes widened about to panic into a scream. The young man who was the Rebellious and Notorious Crown Prince of Italy, Prince Tristan, disguised as a commoner pulled her face closer and kissed her. He admired her non-lady-like manners and boldness. It triggered his heart's curiosity. Because of their awkward encounter, their intentions to escape from reality gave themselves a mutual understanding of each other wanting freedom, action and adventure. Despite their struggles and sorrowful moments, Kindness's faith in God and Prince Tristan's determination for love changed their fates.

Once we are alone, he turns to me, "We need to work on your acting skills. How can a commoner be such a bloody awful liar? Don't you learn that when you are infants?" "Oh, I'm sorry I don't lie for sport like you lot! Last I checked, it's the ones with the sticks up their arses who are so brilliant with deceit and after seeing your performance I know it to be fact! I've never heard such shit! As though I hold any regret, for telling that fancy prat anything, ha" I call back. Now that we are alone, I no longer require restraints as I let my temper run wild. He does something that takes me by utter surprise. He literally grabs my lips and pushes them together. "Don't you ever shut this mouth of yours!" I move my hands to his chest, trying to pay no mind to the heat radiating from him and give him a great push, shoving him a few steps back in surprise. "Don't touch me! Agh!" I let out before taking a breath, and with a little less force I add, "the King bought it didn't he." "Barely," he grunted. My head snapped back at him, I was fuming. How could a man make me so incredibly angry with just a few words? This must be the great charm of the Prince, I hear so much about. #310 in Historical Fiction 10/2, #347 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 1/5, #291 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 5/18, #239 IN HISTORICAL FICTION, #232 IN HISTORICAL FICTION 6/23 #160 in Historical Fiction 1/29/18 , #131 in Historical Fiction 4/3/18, #121 in Historical Fiction 4/4, #108 in Historical Fiction 4/8, #89 in Historical Fiction 4/9, #87 Historical Fiction 4/13, #66 Historical Fiction 4/22, #60 Historical Fiction 4/25, ----- Currently going through some major revisions 1/27/2018
