"Please sire, His majesty King Matte punishes me a lot for being so curious about things that don't concern me. If you will, please you can't let him know I was here." I begged the Prince as I was face flat on the floor.
Prince Rand scanned me for a moment, quietly evaluating me. In the end, he spoke up, "Okay. I won't tell your King anything but... Now you have to be kind enough to reveal your face to this prince with whom you share a secret." He said without taking his accusing gaze off me.
My heart skipped hearing it. He might not recognize me from afar but being this close to him was definitely going to put me in trouble.
"Your royal, oh so royal highness, please forgive me but in Zago we are not allowed to stand before the King or Prince this way. Some maids are chosen specially for that and I don't happen to be one of them." I said still keeping my face down on the floor.
"Why? Do you have some kind of disease or something?" Prince Rand asked.
