Chereads / The Prince and His lover / Chapter 7 - "The Encounter"

Chapter 7 - "The Encounter"

Upon our arrival to the palace; we exited the car the maids and other servants were all waiting at the entrance. They quickly took our suitcase and went on into the palace. Everyone else were heading into the palace, but I was just standing there and looking at the how majestic the palace is in the night.

"Are you going to stand outside all night? it's more beautiful inside you know?" Jai said snapping me out of my thoughts and my gazing.

"Hello Jai what are you doing here?" I asked.

"What kind of stupid question is that Navin I work here?"

I chuckled.

We stood there and took in the fresh air the night had to offer.

"Can I ask a question?" Jai asked.

" You already did." I said smiling.

He chuckled.

"Sure go ahead." I said

"Since the first time I saw you. Your always in your thoughts as though you're miss someone or something and it makes you absent minded. Is there something that is bothering or hurting you? If so just know I'm here for you okay. I know we only know each for a very short time but something about you that I adored and I can't put my fingers on it as yet." Jai said making me turn to face him.

"Thanks Jai I really appreciate that I honestly do" I said with great sincerity.

"Can I ask you favor Jai? I asked.

"sure feel free to ask anything if I can I will do my best your grace". He said with slight bow.

"um I would like for you to be my personal guard would you like to be?"

"I'm sorry Navin I am afraid I cannot make that decision" Jai said looking sad.

" who's decision is that to be made from?" I asked curious.

"The head of Security or His Majesty himself".

" Then I will asked the head of Security." I said confidently.

"I don't know if that's a good idea; he is an ignorant man and only takes order from royal blood." Jai cautioned me.

"Better try my luck and see then."

I decided that I will check out my room and other thing to get comfortable for a good night rest. Jai escorted me into the palace and the moment my two personal guards came to show me to my room; he left. I was a little disappointed that he had too. I really enjoy his company and his cool vibes. He makes me want to be myself; which is fun.

The guards led me up the stairs and took a few corners and then there stood a huge door. It was well design and majestic. The guards then turned towards me and bow.

"Young lord this is your room." Nathan said.

"Thank you and how far away is my best friend room?" I asked.

"It is just around the corner turn two right; the second door on your left." Chris said.

Yeah like I would remember all of that. My subconscious told me

"Thank you" I simply said with a slight smile.

I then turned to the door and turn the knob and was shocked when I saw what was behind the door. The room was filled with blue and green everywhere. I swear I was about to cry they were my favorite colors. It had; blue walls and with green curtains and a huge king size bed that could probably accommodate 10 people to sleep in it. I was lost into the room that I didn't realized that the guards were still there until they spoke.

"Your grace if there is nothing more we can help you with we will leave you to get settle in." Nathan said and they both bowed and left.

I still couldn't believe this is my room, it's too good to be trust. I stood there and wonder around a little and checked out the bathroom which was huge as my entire room back home. Suddenly someone knocked on the door startling me.

"Your grace dinner is ready, please come down when you're ready." The person said.

" Thank you, but I'm not hungry I'm going to rest , goodnight." I answered.

"As you wish your grace." The person said and left afterwards.

I don't know why but I was just not in the mood to eat. I showered and headed in bed and get an early night rest; to get up early and prepare to for school.

....

The morning arrived in no time. I was disturbed by the phone ringing beside the bed.

"Good morning your grace what would you like for Breakfast this morning?" someone said.

"Ma since when do you ask me what I want for breakfast?" I said half asleep.

"I'm sorry your grace; I'm your personal chef and I cook anything you wish to eat." The chef said chuckling a little.

" I'm sorry my what!?" I asked spring up from my bed.

"Your personal chef your grace. Now what would you like to eat for breakfast?" the chef said.

" Um, um bread and egg and a cup of orange juice?" I asked feeling awkward.

"Very well sir anything else?" He asked.

" No thank you." I said.

The phone beeped and went off.

I sighted. I really need to get accustom to this lifestyle, I got up and went to the bathroom and showered and brushed my teeth and got dress. I decided to wear a black jean with a dark blue shirt and comb my hair a little where it slight fall in my face.

I opened the door and saw Angel turning the on my hall way as well. She saw me and ran right over to me and hugged me.

"Hey Morning, what's up with you, you skip dinner last night?" she asked.

"I just felt tired and decided that I will called it an early night." I simply said.

" Do have a personal chef as well?" I asked.

"Yes I do I almost threw the phone against the wall as well. Damn thing disturbed my beauty sleep." She said.

"You don't want to know what happened to me" I said chuckling.

We chuckled down the hall until we had no idea where the hell we were going.

"Navin the hell are we, I can't remember passing here yesterday with the guards?" angel asked.

"um I think we are lost, this place is so god damn big and you know me with directions and your worst." I joked

" let's ask one of those servant, coming this way." Angel suggested.

We waited until they were near.

"Hello good morning we are so sorry to disturbed you, but we are a little lost. Would you be kind enough to please show us the way for breakfast.?" I kindly asked.

They all stood there in silence for a while and blink about six times before they answered.

"Good morning young lord and lady. Please let me escort you to your destination" one said smiling.

"Thank you" angel and I said.

The servant escorted us back to the direction we came from and took two left where we took all right. Angel and I making glances at each whenever we knew we took the wrong way. It didn't take us long to get to the breakfast area. There we saw my grandparents with his royal majesty and her royal highness.

"Good morning" we said and we both bow deeply.

"There is no need to be too formal with us kids; we're like family now so relax okay?" her highness assured us.

We smiled and took our seat then a few servants came and place our breakfast in front of us. Angel had pancakes with honey and a cup of milk. And I had exactly what I had told the chef.

"Are you not well dear?" her highness asked.

" I'm fine now I just got a little fever last night." I told her.

"I thought you said you were fine yesterday Navin?" Pa asked.

" I was I guess it was the travelling and moving?" I said.

" How did you know that your majesty?" I asked.

" Our son always drink Orange juice when he is not well." She simple said.

I looked over at my grandparents who had their eye brows upwards and I smiled and continued eating my breakfast.

"So we had already informed the Royal School that you two will be starting today." His majesty finally spoke.

"Thank you" I said lowered my head a little.

"Your welcome, your personal guards will drop you and pick you guys up as well. You both will also have personal drivers due to the schedules for the classes." His majesty stated.

"Your majesty I'm sorry if I'm asking too much but can I asked to choose my personal guard myself please?". I asked kindly.

" I see no problem with that go ahead." He said.

" There is a guard his name is Jai William I would like for him to be my personal guard." I said quietly.

"Jai I see, sure I have no problem, our son and him is close as well I can see why you want him to be your personal guard. It's nice your making friends already." Her highness said.

"Where is the prince by the way?" angel asked.

"He already left for school, as we said earlier he hates talking to people who he doesn't know." His majesty said.

I just smiled and finished off my breakfast and we left the room. Outside we saw that the servants had our bags already packed and waiting for us. I kissed my grandma and went off to the car.

I got in the car and the driver was Jai.

" Hey!" I practically shouted.

"Hey, how are you?". He asked.

"I'm better now." I said smiling.

" How come your driving me to school?" I asked curiously.

" Well you did asked for me to be your personal guard right , so here I am." He said smiling in the rearview mirror.

" I didn't expected it to be that fast." I said.

"Welcome to the royal life Navin." He said.

I smiled and we talked some more until we were approaching the school gates.

"Your nervous" he asked.

"No." I blunted out and looked out the window

" Your hands is telling me yes though." He chuckled.

I cursed my shaking hands. Nevertheless, Jai assured me that it will be fine the kids are all royal and it won't be bad at all. So I calm myself down and we parked in the parking lot. I got out of the car and saw Angel waiting for me at her car. I thanked Jai and went over to Angel.

"Nervous?" I asked her.

"Nope, I'm fine and you." She asked.

" You know how I am." I said looking at the ground.

"Navin don't go in there and think if they are going to like you, go in there and tell yourself its fine if they don't like you okay." she said.

"Your right." I said smiling.

We walked in to the school and it was calmer than I expected. A few moments later an elderly man dressed in a suit came to us. He was fair in complexion with short dark hair with some spots turning white. He was probably about 5'9 in height with sea blue eyes with a shaved clean face. He looked like he was about the age of 40 something.

" Hello and welcome to the Royal School. I am principal Howard Washmoor." He said smoothly.

"Thank you" I said with a slight bow.

"You shouldn't be bowing to me young lord and that is not needed here everyone is equal. Well except for Prince Jake." He said smiling.

"Oh sorry" was all I said.

"It's okay you guys are new here you will learn after a time. These are the manual of the Royal School. Please follow me this way to your locker first Ms. Angel." Principal said.

We followed him and took a few turns while he showed us the choir room and auditorium and then were finally at Angel's locker.

"Okay here is your locker and here is the timetable it has the room number as well. Please feel to ask anything if you wish." The Principal said.

"Thank you" Angel said and went to her locker.

I told Angel goodbye and I left with the principal to my locker. It didn't take us long to find mine.

"Here is yours; its right to prince Jake's own. I'm sure that it won't be a problem since you two live in the same kingdom; you two must have already know each other. Here is your timetable and have good day and please to come to me for any assistance if needed." the principal said and left.

Know each other, yeah right. My subconscious said.

I went on and open up my locker with the number on the timetable and place my book in and keep the ones I needed now which was mathematics book and text. I shut my locker and was so in my thoughts that I didn't see someone right next to me and I bumped into them. My timetable and books fell on the ground including myself.

"Ouch I'm sorry, but god damn what kind of rock body do you have?". I said rubbing my butt and not looking at the person.

"I'm sorry are you okay?" the person said.

I finally looked at the person and it was prince Jake holding his hand out for me to take it.
