I sat down because my legs could no longer hold me. What was it that Jimena had just told me? I probably would have misheard. I wish I hadn't heard correctly.
"What?" I asked her again, remaining cool this time.
Jimena tilted her head slightly, looking at me inquisitively, and repeated.
"The captain told me he wants you to deliver his food to his cabin."
And yet, I hadn't misheard as I had hoped.
I shook my head in panic. "No, I will not do it. No".
Jimena approached me and sat next to me. She put her hands around my shoulders.
"No, my dear. Don't be stubborn and silly. Can't you see it? He is looking for a way to approach you again. And since no one knows about your relationship, he decided to use this method. The easy and safer way."
"Do you think he's doing it for that? What if he does this to humiliate me by knowing that I'm a princess?" I asked her.
