"George, what's going on here?" I ask as soon as I manage to push Mr. Lee aside, who is guarding the room.
"Rebecca, you are not supposed to be here." George's surprised expression welcomed me into the room.
"Why? I saw my servant tied to a chair.I immediately ran into her and attempted to untie her.
''Rebecca, it's not safe for you to be here, '' George told me as he stopped me.
''We are dealing with dangerous individual, and we don't want you to get hurt." I looked at him with worry and fear in my eyes, realizing that there was a serious situation at hand.
"What is going on?''I re-asked in the hopes that they would fill me in completely.
''I don't understand what is happening here, George. What did she do to deserve this? '' I ask as two of his guards are standing by my servants on both sides.
''What were you planning to do with my bride? Are you a spy?'' We were unable to move when George slapped Freen's face so hard . His hand printed on her face, and I don't like it, but I didn't do anything because I thought it was a one time thing, but he slapped her all over again and again and again and again . This is not the first time I've seen how royals punish slaves like her. I've seen the worst, but it always hurt, and I always choose not to interfere. Back in our country, this often happens to servants. I was gripping my dress so hard, and I saw how he was about to kick the pitiful servant.
''Leave her alone!'' It was so fast, I can't remember the last time I put myself in this situation before .
Damn, it hurts so bad.
''Urgh''
''' Rebeca , what are you doing protecting that lowly person?" Get away from that stinky low life person! George shouted .
''Argh '' I groan in pain. This was the first time I felt like I was being kicked in the back; it was so damn painful.
In fact, this was the first time I was being hit and the first time I was in so much pain. He was forcing me to get away from the servant, but I was not getting up, so he grabbed my arms and pulled me away from her.
''อยู่ให้ห่างเขา!!''(''Xyū̀ h̄ı̂ h̄̀āng k̄heā!!'') ''I heard the servant shout something, and George wasn't able to drag me away from her when a fist was thrown at him and he fell to the ground.
We got shock on how in the world did she manage to untie herself on that chair the guards was about to touch her but I stopped gestured them to stopped.
''No. Don't you dare touch my servant, Out! "You are not needed here, you cowardly men beating a tied woman!'' I shouted, and the two guards bowed into me, ashamed, and finally left the room.
The servant didn't even pay attention to George while I was looking at his unconscious body, like she already knew he wasn't going to get up. Instead, she came to me and brushed her fingers through my hair, and she dried the tears and sweat out of my face. I was stunned when I saw her pull a knife from inside her sleeves. I was thinking she was going to stab me, and I closed my eyes. But I heard something rip, and I was able to breathe finally, and she threw something on the floor that made my eyes wide. She just ripped my corset !
But it doesn't end there. I flinched as I felt her fingers on my skin. She was touching my back. God, I haven't felt this way before with just one touch, and my whole body reacts to it .
I have been helped by my servants before in my bath, but I never felt this tension in my body with just a simple touch. What is happening to me?
And this is the first time I felt embarrassed about my body being seen by my personal assistant. It is not even whole yet; it was just my back, as she also ripped the sash of my dress and checked my bruises.
My train of thought was cut off when she faced me again with those teary, full-of-concern eyes. I have never seen a servant care this much for me .
''"ผมจะพาคุณไปหาหมอ"("P̄hm ca phā khuṇ pị h̄ā h̄mx")
I couldn't understand what she was saying, so I turned to look at Miss Nam.
Mr. Lee was assisting George, who was still unconscious.
"She wants to bring you to a physician." Mis Nam translated.
My eyes widened, and I shook my head. She was perplexed, and she looked at Miss Nam.
''No no. Tell her not to do that; she will be interrogated and punished, and things will not go well. Tell her I'm not going; I'll be fine. It's only a minor bruise. I'm all right.''
I know George did this to me, but she will still be punished for fighting back. It's not fair, but I know how the system works, especially with commoners like them. I just need some time to heal and gather my thoughts.
And George, whom I know to be egotistical, won't let this situation just go away. He'll likely use it to his advantage and make a big deal out of it, which could cause even more trouble for everyone involved. I need to figure out a way to handle him and the situation before it spirals out of control.
This is not a good thing .
Why do all these things have to happen when all I ever wanted was the freedom to choose whom I wanted to marry?
Why does this whole thing get all messed up every time I have a plan to postpone or stop my marriage to this lunatic?
I really can't see a reason to want to unite with mad man , why can't my parents see it?
'' Please let her know that I appreciate her concern, but I really don't want to go through any more trouble right now." I commanded Miss Nam.
"เธอบอกว่าเธอจะฆ่าคุณถ้าคุณทำอย่างนั้น("Ṭhex bxk ẁā ṭhex ca ḳh̀ā khuṇ t̄ĥā khuṇ thả xỳāng nận")
I was confuse when I saw how she looked afraid of me after Miss Nam translated what I just said.
''What did you just told her? '' I may not understand their language but I am not dumb.
''I just told her what you want tell her,.''
I shook my head in disbelief I know she is not telling the truth.
In my peripheral vision, I noticed George was already awake, and Mr. Lee was attempting to assist him, but he pushed him away.
His eyes widened as he looked in my direction.
"What in the world did you do to my wife?" He yelled, dashed towards me, and shoved the servant away from me.
The servant's knife was thrown to the floor, but thankfully George hadn't noticed yet, so I simply kicked it to hide it under my dress.
"What did she do to you?"
"I am not your wife, George; we have not yet married, and I will not if you lay a hand on my servant again," I said, trying to distract him as he was about to attack the servant again.George gave me a puzzled look, and I gave him a firm look to let him know I was serious.
"Soon you will be mine, and you will regret this." He just said it before getting out of the room, pissed.
"The only thing I regret is agreeing to marry a complete stranger like you, and even worse, a lunatic," I yelled back.
George smirked and approached me, sitting in front of me. I saw how Mr. Lee prevented my servant from approaching me.
I must admit that George is a handsome man, but I have no feelings for him. George held my chin and forced me to face him.
I attempted to free my face from his hold, but he was more powerful than I was.He knelt down next to me and said,
"Honey, I admire your bravery, but there is one thing you should know and understand: I chose for you to marry me, and you have no say in it.'' My dress was already torn when he stopped, and as he caressed my exposed shoulder, my hair shot up, and he gave me a lustful look before sniffing me like I was meat to eat.
"And your parents...hahaha...Your beloved parents are not what you think they are, but you know it's not my place to tell, but I know they should be thankful I love their beautiful daughter, so baby, stop being disillusioned with being in charge because you are nothing but a tool like every woman should be; you are all born to seduce men and make us happy."
But I push him away from my face, I am not backing down I will find my way out of this misery. And my parents I know what my parents are .He grinned in my face and finally let go of me. He walked in my servant's direction and looked at her from head to toe, but my servant is really something; she was glaring back at him.
"You will pay for this," he said, referring to his swollen cheek and cut lips.
But my servant seemed to understand and smirked at him, making him even angrier.He was about to slap her again when my servant kicked him in the balls and threw him to the ground.
I couldn't help but smile, which caused George to stand straight, hiding his pain to hide his embarrassment, and spit on the floor in front of the servant before motioning for Mr. Lee to leave her alone.
Mr. Lee let go of my servant and attempted to assist George, but he was pushed away.This woman is incredible.
Now I'm glad I chose her as my personal assistant; she'll be a huge help to me. But George won't let this go easy I saw him pull his sword, and everything happened so fast
He is really out of his mind .
Miss Nam helped me up but my dress was ripped and it is giving me a hard time.
Why did things have to get so out of hand?
This is so foolish.
I tried to catch her when she passed out by pure accident.
I managed to catch the poor servant, but I unintentionally hit my head on the corner of the table, and that is the last thing I can remember. And I when I woke up I was already at the infirmary.
I'll think about that later; right now, I need to stop George from acting foolishly. Who even came to the conclusion that this poor servant had done anything wrong and needed to be accused and punished? This is complete nonsense.
"No." I squeaked, unable to believe he would do such a thing in my room. And I heard a body fall to the ground, and my eyes widened when I saw it lying on the floor.
And turned to face the perpetrator.
''No. This can't be. ''
Please tell me this is just a nightmare.
