The unexpected call

The girl was speechless and staring at the ground to process what the king said because she had no idea about the castles chores and she had to leave her sister alone for who knows how long she will work here., she was so worried about her sister,

The king smirked and called his minister to give Emily a bag of money.

But Emily started to cry and pleaded to the the king not to do this because she has no other family member other than her sister so how can she live alone please your majesty i will make you laugh dont take my sister away from me.

The girl named Veronica interrupted her sister and Your majesty I agree to work here. The king called out the head of the maid who was in her mid forties had grey hair and had a look of annoyance ordered her to take Veronica with her and get her ready.

Emily didnt know what to do she kept crying in silence then the guards came and was dragging her out of the castle, she kept looking at her sisters back who was being taken away by that lady. The sisters got separated by the king for a small mistake that Emily made. 

So Veronica followed the head maid in silence as she had no power to do anything she accepted this s her fate and was taken to a room where she was given a set of clothes and a bed. She slept for a while after the incident because the head maid or anyone else came to give her any work and woke up later and she was starving as she didnt eat anything since morning. She was in the servants quarters and was woken up by the bell. 

The door of the quarter opened by another palace maid, she came in and told her to come to the kitchen to prepare dinner with others. She was scared but she got up and went to the kitchen and there she met the other maids.

The other maids were all rude to her but she was just happy to find a friend whose name was Kate and she told her everything about herself and her sister.

Kate was shocked to hear about her story and said that she should talk to the the princess Elena who was the sister of the king and she may help her.

Veronica was shocked and said what?

Kate said I know your sister was going to meet the king and she was going to try to make him laugh and you know the king doesn't like girls who are too bold so never talk back or act bold with the king it wont be any good for you or your sister so just be patient i will try to talk to the princess and my mother who is also a maid here had raised the princess and the king when they lost their parents in their childhood. 

Veronica asked how did the former king and queen die ? Kate replied i dont know all the details no one talked about it its like the mystery was buried along with them all i got to know from my mother is that the king died in his sleep physician said the king may had a heart attack and the queen was found dead in the swimming pool when she went there for a bath and the death seemed very weird but no one took any action to investigate the matter.

Veronica seemed to think about it but soon she focused on her work to make dinner.

Veronica was wondering around the palace after her work was done and she came across the king again and he was walking with a girl who looked very elegant she looked like a princess and a man in his late thirties in a royal suite. The girl was giggling and laughing with the king and she was dressed in a beautiful white dress.

The king seemed to be very amused with her and he was laughing and smiling at her and the girl seemed to enjoy his company. But then his blue eyes feel on Veronica like a predator Veronica felt her heart stopped for aa second out of fear but she quickly gathered up her courage and approached the king and greeted him.

The king was startled to see the girl approaching him but he smiled like devil and looking at her with fire in his eyes and welcomed her with a smirk.

Veronica asked the king if she could have a moment with him. He said sure and invited her inside his room. She went inside and the king shut the door behind her and asked her what she wanted.

She was terrifies but replied while stuttering that your majesty could please bring my sister here? she is still a child she cant even make her own food she will starve to death if she comes here she could also work with her she please your majesty allow my sister to stay here with me. Veronica tried her best to convince the handsome king who was standing in front of her crossing his hands across his chest and looking deep into her which caused shiver in her body.

The king seemed to be very amused by her request and he laughed at her and said why would i do that i already gave her some money and i am not giving you anymore.

Veronica was shocked and her face turned red and she tried to apologize to the king but he cut her off and said I can try to reconsider your request but what do I get in return little doe? Veronica seemed confused as the king already had everything so she asked timidly what can I do for you in return your majesty? Im but a mere servant. 

The king chucked he went near to her that Veronica could feel his hot breath on her face she felt like creating a shell around her she was trembling he was literally towering over her as hes much taller than her Edric could feel her shaking which in fact amused him he smiled to himself and looking at the beauty in front of him finally he said how about spending a passionate night with me my doe??

Veronica was shocked she thought he was joking but he continued and said its not a joke i really want to spend a passionate night with you and I can promise you will never forget this experience so please consider my request and come to my room tonight. Veronica felt devastated she didnt know what to say she lovd her sister so much that she could even sacrifice herself for Emilys happiness.

She was trembling and she replied that she will think about it and she left the room.

Veronica was terrified and was trying to figure out what to do next she was so scared that she couldn't even think straight she just kept thinking about the situation and her sister who was in the house alone.

The king seemed to be very amused by her reaction and he chuckled. He knew that she wasnt brave enough to do anything so he asked her to come to his room that night.

veronica who was sitting in her room tried to figure out a way to help themselves and that that moment

Kate appeared and she asked whats wrong you seem very tensed? 

Veronica wasnt sure if she should tell Kate about it she didnt want to make her worried. She told her that she is having trouble with the king.

Kate asked her to come to her room and told her to relax she will solve her problem.

Veronica followed her to her room and she asked her to sit down and she sat next to her and she told her everything that happened and Kate was shocked she was thinking that maybe the king is taking advantage of her innocence.

Kate said don't worry we will fix this somehow i will talk to my mother about this matter she is the one who raised the king and she will definitely help you.

Veronica said no i dont want to involve you people in my problem I will try to find a way. kate then asked did you have a man before? Veronica was taken aback by this direct question. She replied in a lower tone no Never in my 15 years I didnt have time for love but I do dream about having my own family. Kate smiled at her shy friend she was so gentle and innocent.

Veronica asked her to keep this secret between them and Kate promised her that she will never tell anyone about this. Veronica said to Kate I will do this for my sister only, Kate gave her a sad smile and gave her courage. 

That night Veronica was so scared she kept praying for the lord to save her from this situation and to help her sister. she took baby steps to the kings chamber and waited few minutes before knocking at the big wooden door, she heard footsteps and she was expecting to see the king but instead she saw a woman in her mid fifties she had grey hair and was wearing a blue robe she had wrinkles on her face and was carrying a tray of food in her hand.

Veronica was surprised and was scared she wasnt expecting the head maid to be the one who opened the door she was so afraid and she started to tremble she was hoping the head maid wont recognize her. The lady looked at her and snorted at Veronica like she is some kind of garbage.

The king was in the room talking to the girl who was giggling with him earlier she was in a beautiful dress with golden jewelry and a crown on her head she was laughing and smiling at the king and the head maid left the chamber giving Veronica an annoyed look, Veronica didnt pay attention to that because she had other stuffs in her mind she was feeling so stuffed here.

the king saw Her standing outside his chamber lowering her head, he smiled and greeted his sister with a smile and asked her to return to her chamber. he felt impatient to make her his.
