Madin POV,
There after , I was given a room in the main mansion , but the king had decided that I will continue being prince Arthur's servant as a punishment for not speaking up .
Arthur didn't want it and wanted to stir a fight with the king but I warned him , the king didn't look like he was going to change his mind anyway, Arthur had no choice but to accept it because his father said that's how he has decided to punish Me .
I honestly have no problem with it , as long as am with Arthur and he knows my real identity, nothing can be more exiting as for now .
" So.. what do you think?" Arthur ask the moment we get in his room, after the end of discussions with the royal family .
" About what?" I ask not being sure what he's really referring to , I have a lot that am thinking about now .
" You know... everything my father said ."
" Totally fine and happy." I say referring to the fact that he allowed us to be together . Anything else will come later .
"Even with the fact that he is making me marry someone else, you're still totally fine and happy ?!"
I flinch at that thought but I brush it away immediately, I honestly don't want to think about anything that is not joyous right now .
" Can we not talk about that now ?"
" When then should we talk about it? Didn't you hear him ? He already has someone in mind and am going to marry her in less than a week! You will just be there like you are no body when you are the actual person I love ! Still happy with that? I feel like he is trying to fool us somehow! Do y..."
When realisation hit me that's when my joyous mood vanish in a thin air , I don't know from where but anger rise in a flash and I find myself yelling at him .
" Do we have a choice ?! Do you have a better solution or the answers of the questions you're asking me ?! Am tired , am going to rest "
I walk out of his room without another word , neither him say anything.
I can't explain my feelings right now but definitely they aren't good . I feel like crying but no , am not doing that , 'I'll be there just like a no body , so what? As long as am not a criminal anymore, they know my identity , anything else will solve itself because when I start crying now that won't solve anything.
I go in the new room I was given , which is two floors up from Arthur's , it's much better from those in servant's quarters; privacy and all that .
Just as am about to lay my spinning head and aching body on the bed a knock comes from the door .
I walk towards it and open the door ,
a servant with a tray full of different meals bringing to me . She look at me weirdly probably she's one of those of "it's a sin to be with a man when you are a man too!" I don't dwell on it so much , I take the tray and close the door , I put it on the wooden table beside the bed and lie on the bed .
I go on lying on bed on my back , trying to think where my life is heading to . But how can I know where it's heading to when it's not clear where it's coming from! In conclusion I tell myself as always that I don't have anything to loose , I mean , I've gone through a lot and I can use this place to keep going before my life ends , it's not like I have any other place to go..
Somewhere in the night I fell asleep because when I open my eyes after hearing banging on the door I realize it's in the morning because of the lights coming in through the curtains .
I raise myself to stand up only for a sharp pain to cut through my head . When I stand up I feel so dizzy that I support myself on the bed posts and on the wall .
It's then that am realizing that I haven't eaten for a while , maybe that's why am dizzy .
I open the door only to realise it's the same servant . " You are asked to prepare the prince to go for training. "
Which training.. ? He didn't tell me he had to go somewhere today.
" Okay " I say going back in the room to prepare to go but I stop hearing what she said next .
" You thought you won, didn't you?! " I turn around looking at her confused, she's smirking looking at me like am some kind of a looser . What is she talking about?! Looking at her intently I realize that she's the same girl who had replaced me the first day I was missing when I went to town with Arthur. And she's also the same girl that those people in the flower garden were talking about, saying that she said I didn't deserve the position to be Arthur's maid but her .
" What are you talking about?" I ask going back to the door .
" Nothing much.." she smirk again . "I just wanted to say.. don't make me come here to remind you of your duties everytime . I hope you are not forgetting that you are still just a servant." she says leaving me dazed .
I change from the clothes I had yesterday without even taking a shower and head to Arthur's room . My head still throbbing. I find myself loosing balance but before I land on the floor someone holds me..
" Madin are you okay? " I stand up straight realizing that it's Jeremy.
" Uh.. yeah , am fine thank you . "
"It's really nice that you are back ." He says smiling.
Huh?
" If you ever need anything or to talk you can always come to me ,," he says .
" Okay " I say not sure why he's being for nice to me now . " I'll be on my way . "
" Okay "
When I get to Arthur's door I don't even remember to knock , I open the door and find him being dressed in a knights outfit by the same girl .
I stop on the doorway without saying a word.
" There you are , I've been asking for you like a thousand times." Arthur say coming my way and pull me inside.
" Thank you , you may go now . " he say referring to the girl.
" But the king said I.." she start but she's cut.
"Not now " Arthur reply to her .
The girl leave closing the door .
" What's going on ?" I ask immediately the door closes.
" Nothing much, how did you sleep ? " he brushes off my question.
I don't answer him, feeling anger build up in me .
" Is there something you want me to do ? Or you are already set to go ? " I ask wanting to finish what am supposed to do and go away from this room , I feel suffocated.
" Did you just ignore my question?" He ask .
" I slept fine " I say simply . "Is there anything you need me to do ? "
" Not now but maybe tonight after am done with training those new recruited knights ."
" Okay , let me know then ." I say walking away but he hold my arm. I turn around to look at him .
" What is it " I ask as calm as I could .
" You didn't even ask what I want you to do tonight " he say .
" What is it then that you want me to do ?"
" Stay with me tonight " he say .
" I don't think that's part my duties."
" But it's your part as my boyfriend! Why are you being like this again?"
"Why don't you ask yourself that question before asking me ? There's obviously something going on with that girl that was here , I heard you cut her when she was about to say something and when I ask you , you say nothing! Then you ask if am okay , what do you think?"
" You said you don't want to talk about that."
"So What you mean right now is that she's related to that ?"
" Yes, apparently she's my father's maid and she's been giving him suggestions of what to do with our situation , I asked Jeremy and he said , she's the one who went to my father and suggested that if my father doesn't want to leave this kingdom to another person but me then why don't he let me be with you and at the same time , with a woman who will give me a heir . My father thought it was a good idea since there are a lot of polygamous families in this kingdom. He was impressed by her and for that reason he made her his personal maid , not really a maid , I don't know how to call it , and for that reason he also wants her to be , my... " he stutter.
" Your wife?"
"Mhn"
" Okay , have a good day "
" You are not coming with me? "
" Maybe later.."
I say leaving, Suffering is part of my life since I was young so?
