Chapter 296: Her Malicious Plan
A soft knock interrupted Kiev’s solitude as he rested alone in his chamber. Rising from the settee, he made his way to the door and opened it, revealing a servant standing before him, holding a tray adorned with delectable desserts and a steaming pot of tea. The servant’s eyes widened as she saw his outstanding figure.
"Good... Good morning, Your Highness. Here... are... some delicacies for you," the servant stammered, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness as she gazed upon the handsome young prince.
Curiosity piqued, Kiev inquired, "Who are you? I don’t recall summoning any food. I already have my breakfast."
"I am a servant of Her Majesty, the Queen. This is a complimentary offering for you, Your Highness," the servant replied.
"Complimentary?" The Mederian Prince’s crimson eyes scanned the sumptuous spread and the servant standing before him. He couldn’t help but notice the slight tremble in her hands.
"Why are you trembling?" he asked.
The servant quickly averted her gaze, her face flushed with a rosy hue.
"I... I’m just nervous, Your Highness. This is my first time... seeing you..."
"Place it on the table," commanded Kiev, abruptly cutting off her words.
It wasn’t strange for the Mederian Prince to receive such reactions from women who encountered him for the first time since it was typical for his striking presence to leave a strong impression. The servant stepped inside and carefully arranged the tray on the table.
"Do you require anything else, Your Highness? I can keep you company if you wish," the servant offered, her eyes gleaming with interest toward the Mederian Prince.
