After the head maid had left she continued to think about everything that had happened during the day she felt numb she was sad and sad that theshe cant atlk about her sister today and she misses her very dearly. She missed her big sister and her warm smile.
She felt tears welling in her eyes she had never been so sad in her life she felt light headed and the world became blurry so she tried her best to not blink. then she finally calmed herself and headed to the kitchent to finish her work so she could go back to her chamber to lie down. Her work finished she took a quick shower and got dressed and walked downstairs. she was greeted by the maid who was washing some dishes. she greeted back saying 'good evening' she went to a table and started to eat.
she heard somebody walking towards her table and she looked up to see who it was and her eyes caught sight of a tall handsome man with brown hair, blueish grey eyes and a lean figure he wore a black shirt with a golden chain with a ring hanging from it, a golden sword hung from his waist and he was wearing a dark gray cloak over his shoulders she couldn't see his face.
He stopped in front of her then stood there quietly staring at her he did not say a word for a few minutes and Veronica was beginning to feel nervous he was staring at her. he suddenly said "I would certainly like to have you for my dessert" Veronica gasped, wasnt this prince a little intimidating he seems so cold. The head maid came running in and bowed "your majesty its late you should head to your chambers." She said looking straight at him. he replied nodding to her.
The maid turned around and left leaving them both alone Veronica felt like she wanted to escape the situation and hide away somewhere else she really didn't want to talk to him she could tell by the way he looked at her that he looks at her inapporiately and she cant let this man near her should she say this to the king Edric but the she thought shes merely a servant why would the king listen to her pain? she laughed at herself. She went to the garden in the evening to take a stroll no one was there many thoughts were running in her head and she felt intense pain in her chest thinking about her little sister Emily living alone and she has no idea what she has been eating. She let out a soft sign. then she felt his cold hand covering hers she looked up to meet his dark gaze "what are you thinking about my dear"? he asked.
It was the king himself. His deep voice made her knees wobble, she tried to remove her hand but he kept on covering her hand with his and brought it up to his lips kissing it softly "my dear what is wrong?" he asked again. "its nothing my King I am just thinking about my sister" she said with a shaky voice she was afraid of his response to her reply she feared he would kill her without hesitation but thankfully he just squeezed her hand and spoke "well i hope she is doing ok."
She asked "But your majesty, you said you bring her to the castle." The king chuckled and replied "its easy to get things from me my little doe but yet i will consider your request and send one of my palace maid to your home to take care of your sister if you dont like this option then im afraid theres no other way" She nodded and then he added "as for you you must go to rest you look exhausted. you need sleep, ill send for a maid to your sister in the morning." He gave her another kiss and then he left. She sighed, the whole thing felt like a dream. What the was this? She thought. She wondered if her sister was safe and happy, if she was happy she probably missed her so much... Veronica started crying, she felt lost she didn't know what to do, she felt so alone.
She was just standing there crying to herself when she heard someone walking towards her she looked up and saw a woman approaching her, the woman was wearing a dress of blueish white color her hair was blonde, she walked towards her smiling politely she asked "can I help you?" she asked. "umm sorry for disturbing you miss" Veronica stuttered "no it's quite fine i was just wondering why you're so kind to the servants" the woman looked surprised and then said "well since prince is the one i am supposed to marry so i have to treat every servant and commoner like they are important" "oh... that makes sense".
Veronica said. The woman smiled again and told Veronica good night. Veronica stayed outside until she realized that all the servants except her were already asleep, she laid down in her bed, her body was shivering and she couldn't stop. She hugged a pillow to her chest tightly she shut her eyes and soon drifted to sleep.
A few days later the maids informed her that the king was calling for her she knew that there was no other choice but she was terrified, she had already seen how cruel the king Edric can be but the thought of being taken away from her sister filled her mind with saddness she quickly changed clothes and headed into the hall, she found the maid that would be taking care of her in the corner of the hall and the maids looked at her and they greeted each other and she asked the maid to take good care of her little sister in her absense as she is still a child.
Then she bid goodbye and walked towards the king's chamber. once Veronica arrived at the royal bedroom door she could hear some noises like moans of pleasure from inside. she stood there for a moment thinking what to do, her mind went blank and her chest felt tight and she didnt know the reason for it she felt a very heartache thinking about the king **** **** with another woman.
She was hating this feeling she didnt wait there another moment she went runing to her quarter and she was sobbing laying on the bed. She didnt love the king then why she was thinking to herself she was lost and fely numb. She couldnt bear the thought of him touching someone else and then she got up.
