Chereads / THE WARRIOR PRINCESS / Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 24

Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 24

Stop! what do you think you're doing, I heard someone from behind stopping me when I just started to deal with Vivian, I didn't want to get in trouble as to when she was the one that started it.

My lady see what Kara had done to me she had wrecked my dress and had almost striped me naked if you hadn't been here in time "Vivian put up a crazy lie against me to the duchess making me be blamed.

Oh no my lady it is all a lie she was the one that picked on me in the first place and also spilled all the salad I prepared for the guest prince to the ground.

At this point, I felt very desperate and I also knew that pleading just favored her and as the second wife of the duke she had almost similar power as the duchess, and am sure she would render no mercy.

She held my hands and summoned two guards to pull me to her quarters, they both held me in the hand and began pulling me recklessly making a bruise on my knee.

It bruised so deep it let out little drops of blood on the ground.

Stop!

I heard someone from the front, it almost sounded like an order, I then realized it was the duchess I felt a sigh of relief. I knew she would render me mercy after knowing the reel truth, unlike lady Abigale she always considered everyone's side of the story and liked that good side of hers.

Or maybe I just assumed that because of my present condition.

The guards gave a regardful greeting and also Vivian but the duchess's rival lady Abigail gave fewer regard and no greeting.

She had always seen the duchess as a barrier to being a supreme royalty.

Abigale why is this poor girl treated this way and that apart can't you see are legs are bruised and probably hurting her "the duchess spoke in concern".

Lady Abigale responded with zero honor, firstly it is none of your business and second of all she is just a maid and doesn't need any special treatment, so if you'll excuse me I have some ruling to do.

Hold on, she pulled her back I had no intentions to say this in front of anyone but you just pulled the plug.

Treating a maid like this is very wrong or has the whole royal thing gotten into your making you forget, that you were once a maid yourself?

A loud gasp escaped I and Vivian's lungs out of surprise.

Lady Abigale felt ashamed been ridiculed in front of the servants so she left saying that she leaves the case to the duchess since she was so supreme.

I felt more relieved that she was gone but the guards still held a strong tight grip on my arms which made me in more grimace in pain.

Release and let her be the duchess spoke to the guard to set me free, but Vivian tried to stop her decree.

They let hold of my arm and I was about to go to the kitchen to make a new salad for the prince, wait but your leg the duchess asked concerned but I denied.

Don't worry I would be fine my queen, I said and swooped away.

********

William sat down in the garden on a nice garden chair right before a table dressed with a white and blue striped sheet, his tummy began to rumble as he was so hungry and was wondering what took Kara so long to make the food.

He stood up about to go check for her, he noticed her walking into the garden holding a tray nicely arranged on it was a bowl full of a nice green salad and my was a colorful meal with a side rich fruit cocktail.

She placed the food on the table serving it on a plate, he asked what took her so long to prepare the meal, uhm she was about answering he then noticed her bruised leg.

Trying to avoid a long conversation she said she fell and got her leg bruised that was why she took so long.

Come on you have to take care of this as he was trying to carry into his arms but your food she asked innocently. Don't worry that your leg is badly hurt.

Thank you but at least please put me down I can walk, ok he said putting her down and wrapping his hands around her waist helping her to his room.

He helped her sit on the nice blue elegant armchair in his room.

He rushed and got warm water from his bathroom and a white small towel, he squeezed it about to use it to massage her leg she stopped him you don't have to do this I would do it myself.

Please let me help you, you help me every day so just let me do this as part of returning the favor Clinton said with a gentle smile.

Ok, thank you she smiled back at him which left him frozen with her scarlet blue eyes, not feeling any action she snapped her finger making him unfroze.

When he was done she felt very relieved and strode towards him giving him a warm hug, then someone made a loud barge into the room it was Vivian and she was not happy with what she saw.

What did I just make clear to you Kara, Vivian said retracting them both from each other.
