"Do you think her highness went to talk to our king?" Cindy asked. "No way, that would be a mistake" Amore answered. "Why is that?" I asked curiously. They looked at each other for some minutes. "Girls we are all servants here," Miriam said trying to make them spill anything they know. "The king is busy preparing the wedding" Cindy answered in a whisper. "Oh yes preparing it on lady Grace" Amore answered with laughter. "Lady Grace?" Debby asked. "Yes, lady Grace the beautiful daughter of lord Ridder" Cindy answered. "You mean, he is having sex with her right now as we speak?. As in he sleeps with her?" I asked trying to understand what I thought I was hearing wrong. "The king sleeps with Almost half of the castle ladies, the king finds pleasure in all the women here, mostly the younger ones, but his best is lady Grace. I can bet you five tails of gold right now, when you go upstairs you will hear the screams, he can never get enough of lady Grace. Every time we walk by, we could hear their moans and groans, and at times when the king sits with lady Grace on his throne, he touches her almost everywhere, his not afraid to show everyone how much she means to him," Amore said. "Poor princess, she will be marrying a man who is in love with another, rumor has it that our king only agreed to marry the princess because of the ministers who advised him to do it, he wanted to wed lady Grace but the ministers couldn't agree on it," Cindy said as I sat down powrlessly. "It seems our princess is really unlucky" I whispered sadly. I truly was unlucky to be marrying such a horrible man.
View MoreGrace's p.o.v"See, you look pretty like you were born to be a servant of this palace." The servant lady who I knew was Elliana said with a smile across her face."Thank you very much for your kind words." I answered politely then looked at myself carefully.I was in a black dress which had white lace at the end of my arms.I looked horrible!. Not even Henry's servants were dressed in such an ugly attire.But thinking about it, it was okay. I was here to work hard, not to look fancy."You are welcome." She answered then extended a soft black cloth to me."Use this to whip the dust from the tables, shelves, books, and chairs. Then this broom on the ground is used to sweep the floor. The bin next to it is where we put in the dirt." She said calmly as I got the
Tom's p.o.v"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Valarie asked seriously."Yes, your highness." I answered calmly."So do it right now before I end up changing my mind, also remember to address my son as duke Adrean. Under no circumstances should you let Grace know the truth and that's a direct order from the king." She said.I slightly bowed and turned to walk away."Also, do report to me if anything out of the ordinary takes place." She said."I'll do just that your highness." I answered then walked out of the study."Gosh," I murmured under my breath while I approached the stairs.Since yesterday Valarie looked busy. She had the royal tailor summoned, a few of the servants taken to the grand guest wing to attend to Grace and she made sure that mor
Adrean's p.o.vAfter making sure Grace was safe and in the guest wing. I went to my mother's chambers, walking in without knocking.Immediately she looked at me she stood up with a smile."She is beautiful." She said softly.I was angry at her for trying to get Grace to look beautiful for the king. Yes, I was he but that didn't change a damn thing. Her trying to make her do something she wasn't comfortable with was out of the question."Yes, she is very beautiful." I answered honestly then cleared my throat."More beautiful than Paula." She pointed out.I brushed my fingers through my hair and walked to where the wine was.I grabbed the jar and poured some wine into the cup."It doesn't matter if she is more beauti
Grace's p.o.v"Welcome," Adrean said softly as we walked into the palace.The palace was bigger than Henry's and way grand than any palace I had ever laid my eyes on. The king of the kingdom was obviously amongst the richest kings of all kingdoms because I had never seen such a place before.Speaking of the king, where exactly was he, and why were we in the palace?.I was sure Adrean had a high official rank, I could see it by the way he acted, spoke, and dressed, not to mention the gold bars that he had. He was a high-rank official, but that didn't explain what exactly we were doing at the palace."Thank you," I answered softly then linked my hand to his.He looked at me surprised then smiled.
Adrean's p.o.vI was upset, very upset with how the mistress had treated Grace. To think she would make such a move of punishing her. The place was a brothel but the treatment was very annoying.I turned slightly and looked at her coldly. She quickly lowered her gaze to the ground."My lord, I....""I wasn't even gone that long and you had the decency to do as you pleased to what was mine. Do you want to lose this whole place?" I asked loudly.She looked at me with widened eyes."My lord." She whispered in disbelief."I can tear this place down within minutes and you can't do a thing to stop me, mistress. Do you think I'm bluffing?" I challenged.She quickly went down on her knees and shook her
Grace's p.o.vI was worried. Very worried about what would happen to me.A week went by and there was no sign or word from Adrean. The mistress didn't pay much attention because she thought of him as being busy. I didn't want to tell her about what had happened, because I knew how she would mistreat me. Selling me off at a cheaper price to more than three men was one of the things she would do to punish me.My sorry life was in her hands because she ran the place with an iron fist.When the door opened I quickly stood up with a loud beating heart and prayed for it to be Adrean.My heart was filled with disappointment when the mistress walked in with a cold look on her face. She strolled to where I was and stood in front of me."Child, do you have anything importa
Grace's p.o.vI burst out in laughter startling him.His brows were frowned and his shoulders stiff."Are you okay?" He asked when I stood up and fixed my hair."Of course Adrean." I answered seriously."Then, can I have your answer." He said while he too stood up."Listen and listen well Adrean. I, lady Grace, will never be one substitute or second woman. And never will I let the name Paula come first from the man I'll marry or allow to touch me." I spat furiously shocking him.Respect and freedom aside!. I wasn't going to be someone's puppet or means of sexual release. When I was with Henry I went through that, and I experienced how hard it was to be in love with a man who loved another. I was hurt and cried mysel
Grace's p.o.vI slowly stood up and looked at the lord who sat at the edge of the bed quietly. I wouldn't dare to ask if he was still upset with me because I saw it in his eyes a few seconds ago how furious he was, he even raised his voice at the mistress.How was I going to apologize to him when I had lifted my hand and slapped him. What if he was a highly respected Duke?. He wouldn't kill me, but I would be badly looked down upon by my fellow women for slapping such a nobleman. No, he wasn't a noble. Most nobles were so full of themselves that they cared about no one. The man in front of me didn't act like a noble should.The man in front of me did care about me although he had no respect.When he called me a liar and accused me of not being a virgin, I acted without thinking."M...my ...my
Adrean's p.o.vI was about to claim her lips once more when she turned and faced the other side.I frowned deeply not fully understanding why she was acting this way towards me. A second ago she looked happy to see me, she even took the initiative to initiate our kiss.Maybe she was just playing hard to get.I lifted my hand and touched her cheek gently hoping she would look at me. But when she couldn't meet my eyes, I knew there and then that she wasn't acting. She really didn't want to be with me.I sighed softly and sat upright. I wasn't going to beg for her attention nor sweet talk her, after all, she was just a slut. Her job was to please different kinds of men and I was no different. All that rubbish about her being a virgin was obviously a lie
Paula's P.o.vI stood in front of my father the king who sat on his throne with a calm expression plastered on my face when in truth I was panicking on the inside."It's been finalized, your wedding to our neighboring kingdom will be in two days, I hope and believe you are happy with the arrangements I've made" father said loudly so his advisors could hear his authority lance through his voice."Yes my king, it's for the greater good of our people after all" I answered with my gaze stuck on the floor.I bowed then stood upright, I notice the happy smiles that came from all the advisors."You raised her well," one advisor said in admiration."Of course" father answered with pride."excuse me," I said then turned and walked out of the throne room.I found my ladies waiting for me at the doorway, when I walked past them ...
