⚜️ CHAPTER 3⚜️
?NIKITA ?
“How was your first service to the princess?” I asked trying to hide the fear that my son was just called into the Princess’s chamber.
“It was annoying.” Mei said and I sighed folding my hands.
“You won’t really give up Hun?” I asked and she shook her head.
“Ma’am Nikita can we ask you some questions?” Vanna asked and I nodded walking to one of the beds and sitting down.
“Ask me anything you want to know about the way things are done in the palace.” I muttered and she nodded.
“What does it mean for someone to be discarded?” She asked and I heaved.
“That means the Princess, Queen or the Prince won’t be nee-ding the services of that Maid anymore. The ones that are discarded are those who have been serving them for a very long time and they think it’s time to free them.” I explained and they looked at each other.
“If it’s about their freedom, why were the ladies Princess Hana discarded sheding tears?” Mei asked and there rest nodded.
“Because it’s not really freedom. Once they are discarded, they become the palace’s maid, not a personal maid anymore.” I said.
“It doesn’t sound like a worse thing.” Akira said and I smriked.
“It Is because they are no more recognized as the princess’s maid but just a regular maid. They are no more seen with the Princess and they can’t go anywhere close to them.” I explained further and they all heaved.
“This is insane!” Mei said and we all looked at her.
“Mei can you please stop acting like an hero for us, but rather be the hero that would save your own life.” Akira said angrily.
“There is no life here Akira. Don’t you get it? We are captives, slaves. We were free humans two days ago and now we are bathing for someone.” Mei said and they bowed their head.
“I un-derstand your grief Mei. Trust me, I did worse than you are doing right now. But I had to move on, accept my fate. I decided to find happiness where there is sadness.” I said going down the memory lane. Back to when I first met my husband.
“And you begot Aaron in that sadness.” Akira stated and I nodded.
“My found my husband here too. We was the guards of the king. We kept our relationship secret, until I got pregnant of Aaron and the king began to question him.”
“The king later found out about our affair, and sent him out to the battlefield where he never came back to me.” I said and my eyes heated up.
“He died in the battlefield.” Mei said and I nodded.
“But above that I still have my son Aaron with me. He reminds me so much about my husband. His physique, his face and the way he talks.” I said smiling.
“I bet your husband was very handsome then.” Akira said smiling and I nodded staring into space, as I remembered his face.
“So it’s a crime to have a lover among the maids?” Vanna asked and I nodded.
“We are not to have an affair here.” I said and Mei rolled her eyes.
“Too many stupid rules. So if you aren’t supposed to have an affair with your co-workers, who are you supposed to have an affair with? The Royals?” Vanna asked and I shook my head.
“That’s a death wish Vanna. You have no right to have anything doing with the Royals.” I said standing up.
“So we are not supposed to love all our lives?” Akira asked and I nodded.
“Not when you are still in this palace. It’s a dearg sentence.”
“I should get to other new maids too. You two stay out of trouble.” I said walking to the door when I remembered we have an occasion today.
“Lest I forget, the palace would be nee-ding our services again today. Princess Katika is visiting the palace today. We all have to be present.” I said.
“Who is princess Katika?” Akira asked.
“You will know soon.” I said finally walking out of the room.
? ARJUN ?
I walked out of my chamber looking as handsome as ever. I wore one of my best robes, though I didn’t want to but mother for-ced me.
I was walking down the third floor when I met Hana and few of her maids, on her way to the meeting room. She didn’t look very happy and I think I know why.
“Can’t you at all pretend to be happy for Niran?” I asked as soon as I caught up with her.
“I can’t. You know how much I hate that lady. She is just so full of herself.” She said and I smiled.
“You nee-d to be at your best character. Mother has warned already.” I said and she rolled her eyes.
“I didn’t promise her that. If she steps on my toes, I am going to put her in her place.” She said and I laughed.
Seeing her that way makes me laugh, because I know she is the only nice and gentle person in our home.
But seeing her like this makes me laugh. For the first time I looked at the maids that were with her and to my surprise, it was the new ones.
I looked at Akira for some seconds before looking away. Her head was bowed and her hands folded in front of her.
“Why did you choose the new ones to escort you? They are yet to know how things are done. I don’t want them getting into trouble.” I whispered into Hana’s ear.
“Them into trouble? Or her into trouble?” She asked smiling.
“What? No! That’s not what i am saying.” I denied looking away.
“Don’t worry Arjun, they will be at their best character. They know what to do.” She said and I nodded reluctantly.
“I just hope Niran forgives the one that spilled that drink on him.” I said and heaved.
“He had to, cause I won’t let him do any harm to her nor Vanna. Those two are just so beautiful and quiet.” She said and I looked back at them again.
They were feets away from us at the back, so I bet they heard our discussion.
“Yeah. She is beautiful.” I mumbled to myself making sure Hana didn’t hear me.
We got to the throne where father was seated and we stood next to him, at the bottom.
“The Princess is coming in!” An announcer said loudly and the rest of the people stood up.
I looked at Niran and I saw how handsome he looked. His hair was styled and his robe was on hell of a robe.
Though his facial expression wasn’t showing happy to me. I was standing next to him so I could whisper into his ears.
“Try smiling, your wife to be is coming in.” I whispered in his ears and he bent his head to look at me.
“I am trying okay?” He said within gritted teeth and faced his front.
I was about facing the approaching Princess Katika when my eyes landed on Akira again.
What I couldn’t un-derstand was why I was always getting lost when I look at her. It was like something was drawing me to her or something.
I didn’t un-derstand the feeling at all.
“Arjun, bow.” Hana whispered touching me, so as to bring my wandered off spirit back into the palace.
I made my bow, and when I rose up my head, I saw her smiling widely. She walked to Hana and Hana gave her ki-sses on the cheeks.
She walked again and stopped in front of me. I took her hand and ki-ssed it smiling.
She smiled and walked to where Niran was. I was about concentrating on their greetings, when I noticed they was another Royal blood with her.
I stared at the lady and I noticed she looked like Katika, but more beautiful and less witchy in sight.
I could see and feel her staring at my and I furrowed my brows wondering why.
I moved my eyes away from her and it landed on Akira before I could control myself again.
This time her head was up and as soon as I looked at her our eyes locked.
I looked away quickly trying to concentrate on whatever Katika not her sister was doing.
I can’t be caught staring at her, if not her end has come. But I just can’t control it.
My eyes keep looking at her itself.
*****
? PRINCESS MAYA ?
I stared at Prince Arjun, lost in his handsomeness. I couldn’t seem to get my eyes off him.
Truly, he is the most handsome in all of Medan. And I am the only one, I mean the only one that deserves his attention, since I am also the most beautiful girl in my town.
As my sister greeted the family, I kept my gaze on Arjun.
Our eyes met, and when I was about giving him this s-×y smile, he looked away. I heaved tracing what could have taken his attention off my beautiful face and it happened to be one of the slaves.
She was annoyingly beautiful, but I bet she isn’t as beautiful as I am. I began to grow angry when I heard my sister’s Voice.
“Maya. It’s time to greet the family.” She said standing next to Niran, and I smiled loving the sound of it.
At least, Arjun would have the chance to look at me, and even ki-ss my hand.
I walked to the Princess Hana, since she was the first to be met. My sister has told me they aren’t that good, and I ain’t really a fan of her either.
We ki-ssed each other’s cheeks showcasing this obvious fake smile on our faces.
After that, I walked to Arjun whom I as-sumed, I already gained his attention. I smiled at him and he did at me too.
I lifted my hand and he took it ki-ssing the back of my hand slowly. I shut my eyes as I felt my whole body react to his li-ps on my skin.
Maybe he wasn’t staring at the Maid after all. I got his attention.
He raised his head and looked at me one more time. I could feel my cheeks were red and hurting. I walked away from him reluctantly because I wanted to be there forever staring into his eyes.
I got to Niran and gave him my hand which he ki-ssed. It felt normal.
Of course he would, because for the records, I don’t really like Niran myself.
I moved to the front of the king and queen and gave them my bow.
“My Lord, My Lady.” I said and when I lifted my head I saw them smiling. I bet they love me already.
“Welcome to Medan Princess Maya. I hope you are impressed by what you see here.” The kind stated as he sat comfortably on the throne.
“I love what I see here. It is Exquisite!” I said with so much gladness. I never knew they would welcome me this well, given this is my first time here.
“Well, you are yet to get amused. I could ask the guards or slaves to show you around the palace.” The king said and I felt so happy.
“I would be so honored, but can I make a request my Lord.” I said with my head bowed.
“Feel free to make your heart desi-res known.” He said grinning.
“I would love the second Prince, Prince Arjun to show me around the Palace, if that isn’t a big thing to ask.” I said looking at Arjun and he looked at me speechlessly.
“I think Arjun would love that too. Right Arjun?” The king asked him and he gave a bow as a response.
“Thank you my Lord. I can’t wait to go on this tour around the Palace.” I said looking at Katika who looked like she knew exactly what I was doing by the smrik on her face.
I looked at Arjun afterwards and he walked up to me. He gave me his hand and I received it. I felt bu-tterflies in my belly as we crossed hands.
We walked away from the rest of the people, and I guess our tour began already. He led me out of the meeting place to the garden.
“Wow. This is so beautiful.” I said looking around.
“Yes. This is the most beautiful place in the whole palace.” He said smiling.
I looked at him at the sound of his voice. He has this hot looks, and now thick mascular voice?? Gosh! He is perfect!
His smile was intoxicating and I couldn’t seem to get enough, until it faded from his face.
“So…..” I said not knowing what to say to him.
“So are there still other places as beautiful as this? Is that your question?” He asked smiling and I nodded swallowing ha-rd.
“You are quite good at knowing a woman’s desi-re.” I said and he laughed softly. I felt like I was drowning in love already.
“I will take that as a compliment.” He said looking at me.
“It is a compliment.” I said beaming widely.
“So the other beautiful place as this is at the pool. The beauty is most ravishing at night, when the lights are on.” He explained as we walked away from the garden.
He led me throu-ghthis way, I guess to the pool. We got to the pool and I saw how beautiful it was without even the lights on.
“I can imagine how this would look at night.” I said looking at him as I held his hand with my other hand. As I stood there, I pictured both of us sitting at the pool at the night.
My head on his shoulders, and his head on mine, discussing about our intoxicating love.
“My Prince, My Princess. The Queen ordered us to escort you to your chamber so you could have a nice bath and rest.” A maid stated.
An head Maid to be precise, given the robe she had on was quite different and pompous to that of the rest.
“We would continue this some other time Prince Arjun, we have a lot of time since I would be sticking around for some days.” I said and he smiled nodding.
I released his hand and walked up to Maid.
“Let’s go.” I said walking away and then I turned my face to see the Maid Arjun was staring at. Her head was bowed.
I stared at her as I walked and then she rose up her head and our eyes locked for some seconds before she bowed her head.
I don’t know, but I just hate her.
⭕ AKIRA ⭕
I kept my head bowed till she was walking in front. I didn’t know why she was looking at me, but it was obvious it was a good stare.
She looked at me like she had issues with me once upon a time or something.
I turned my head to look at Prince Arjun, and I saw he was also looking at me. I looked away quickly knowing that if I am caught, i won’t last an hour.
“The Handsome Prince is looking at you.” Vanna said and I heaved.
“I don’t think it’s something I should be happy about. He can look at me but that doesn’t mean anything.” I said in haste.
“I didn’t say that. You said that.” She said and I swallowed ha-rd.
“We should go with Nikita right?” I asked changing the topic.
“Yes we should. But I don’t think that would be pleasant, knowing how much I crave to rip that princess’s head off for looking at you that way.” She said and I sighed.
“That is death.” I said walking away and to my uttermost surprise I heard my name.
“Akira.” Prince Arjun called and my heart Skipped. The others were already at the front with Nikita and Princess Maya.
And when I was called, Vanna also walked away to catch up with them.
“My Prince.” I said facing him with my head bowed.
“How are you coping?” He asked coldly and I was for-ced to look up. But! I controlled myself knowing it’s an abomination to just stare at him in the eyes right in front of him.
“I don’t un-derstand you My Prince.” I replied honestly.
“With the Slave thing, trying to stay out of trouble?” He asked again.
“Yes my Prince. I am trying to stay out of trouble so I don’t lose my life.” I said and I heard him sigh.
“That’s good. You should tell that to your friend too. Looks like she is going to rip her own head off instead.” He said and my eyes wide-ned.
“Holy shit! He heard what Vanna said.” I thought in fear.
“I am so sorry on her behalf my Prince. She knows nothing.” I said going on my knees immediately. I was shivering and my eyes were watery.
“I know she knows nothing, and that’s why I am telling you to talk something to her. If she said that statement in the wrong hands, you both are going to get killed for it.” He whispered and I nodded still kneeling.
“Get up and go.” He said and I stood up in fear.
“So you won’t tell?” I asked bowing my head.
“I should but I wouldn’t , because it I do, no one is going to save you from Father’s punishment and your head would truly be served to the dogs.” He said and I could hear my own heart beating very fast at the sound of that.
“Thank you Prince Arjun. I swear to you, it would never happen again.” I said and he sighed.
“Go before they notice you were with me.” He said and I nodded.
“I owe you my life.” I said before running to meet the rest. I cleaned my eyes dry making sure no one noticed what just happened.
