Chapter 65: Captured
Lilac
As I left Princess Ana’s room, along with the tray, I felt insulted to the bones. Back at home, I was literally a crowned princess, and despite all the mockings and abuses, I was still regarded as a princess by everyone. To be treated like a mere lowlife by this Princess Ana was belittling and mortifying, but alas there was nothing I could do about it.
I stared down at the tray of food before grimacing, then returning it to the kitchen. She hadn’t been right about the food statement, the slave quarters provided the servants more than enough food, but even if they didn’t, I wasn’t that desperate to eat this food. I wasn’t in the mood to eat anything anyway, not when I’m still reeling in shock from the warning she gave me.
Belle had said that I was in luck because apparently this princess was a sweetheart but by my first encounter with her, she was the complete opposite of that. She literally threatened my life without flinching and with a smile still on her face.
I let out a long sigh as I began to walk out of the palace. Technically, I was already done with my chores for the day like this and could return back to the slave quarters. On getting there, I could wash my dirty clothes and sheets then rest for the rest of the day.
However, I wouldn’t be doing that, because I promised the prince I’d come see him today even though I wasn’t assigned to him.
Princess Ana’s warning kept echoing in my head as I walked up to the Prince’s wing. I wouldn’t lie, I was a little frightened and I wouldn’t like to get killed because of this. I didn’t even know if the princess had been bluffing or not, and that was giving me a headache.
My mind travelled to the little encounter I had at the kitchen this morning, where they were talking about the prince laying a claim on me. That sounded almost too good to be true, but it was clear that they hadn’t been lying, especially since it seems like that’s where the princess also got to know of my existence.
I let out a long breath. All of this was leaving me feeling confused and wxd making my headach to get worse.
As I approached the Prince’s wing, excitement began to dance within me and my heartbeat began to accelerate. I was excited to see the Prince today. Yesterday started off very horribly but ended up being one of the best days of mine here in this kingdom since the day I got here, and once again, I was still unable to believe the fact that he saved me from what I believed would be my end.
