CHAPTER EIGHT
I had no idea when a scream tore through my mouth, I felt huge regret slam into me the minute the sound came out, I initially came here just to apologize and yet it seemed like I landed myself into another later of trouble.
I was beyond embarrassed and my hands moved to cover my face, half in fear and half in embarrassment, I was pure in every sense of that world and seeing it thrusted into my face was so not helping.
I heard them scrambling frantically to put on their disregarded clot, I felt my hands pealed from my face quite painfully I might add.
“Hey….” The voice said, it sounded so familiar I looked up to see one of the few I find their company acceptable in the palace, Fiona. She was with the prince? Why was she making out with a vile person like that, she was one of the least that I could ever suspect that was having an affair with the prince.
She did not have the look nor the character to do such a thing, and they are polar opposite in almost everything.
“Please Alice, I beg of you. You mustn’t tell anyone of what you saw. I would be banished if a word of this gets out.” Fiona pleaded, her eye filled to the brim with tears begging to drop making eye contact with me.
“Ohhh Fiona… Of course, I would never do….” I hardly got to finish that statement when I heard hurried steps before the maids and guards in the quarters came into my line of sight. I saw how Fiona’s face drained of all colour, she looked white with fear.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
I looked around to see the Prince so he could save her, but I saw him at the end of his room. He had gone to sit in the room and not even spending a second of his time to regard the lady whose tongue was down his throat earlier. I watched him closely and I saw the look of contempt shining in his eye, absolutely unbelievable.
“What’s happening here.” One of the guards said grabbing my arm roughly. In absolute fear of being sent out and almost without thinking, I poured out to them everything I had witnessed. I felt Fiona’s eyes burning through my back, at that moment I knew that if eyes could kill, I’d be cold in my grave six feet under right now.
Well, at least the Prince was her lover and would never allow anyone hurt her, I mean he would surely save her but who would save me if I was sent out. He would be all too happy to see me, on the other hand, banished, or even worse, beheaded, the guards heard me and begin to drag Fiona out, she began to cry out and struggle frantically
“Prince! Prince! Edwar…” She did not finish that statement when she was given a slap by one of the guards to prevent her from calling a Royal by name.
I looked up instantly at Prince Edward, to see his reaction to all this, and for a split second, our eyes meet.
He did not even budge an inch as if it was none of his concern. The guards dragged Fiona out, and the maids followed. I could already hear them already gossiping furiously and narrating their various versions of what happened.
Soon enough, I was left alone with the one who started all this the Prince. After the scene, I just witnessed, I think I’d be better off being disliked by the prince than being liked, I felt tired from all the thoughts running through my mind and it would just be better to go rest. I turned my head to head back to my room.
” What brought you to my chamber so late in the evening?” And his voice stopped me in my tracks.
I was too shocked with the event of this evening and just too tired and angry both at the Prince and at myself. My body went into a self-preserving mode and I turned my head and fled. I ran with all that I had away from him and hopefully away from all the madness that this castle doesn’t seem to run short of.
