The Princess’s Affection

Chapter Three - Princess’s POV

I have always been a princess of the underworld in a fantasy world. My name, which they call us, differs from various countries and ethnicities. In Nigeria, we are mamiwater, and the whites and westerners call us mermaids. Most people come to us for fame, revenge, wealth, power, and help. And when they are done, they will want to leave because they have everything they want.

I also wanted someone to genuinely love me and understand me, rather than use me for their selfish needs. I have always dated girls who use me for their selfish desires rather than loving me, and it icks me any time I remember it. Saddened by what has happened to me over the years, I have been on land. I decided to find true love and peace by leaving my kingdom in the hands of my mother and going out to find true love.

My beloved daughter, I hope you find what you're looking for, and I just hope that you come home soon to take over for me, as my mother had said.

You know that you're meant to take over, but I give you sixteen years on this earth to find what you have been looking for and get the happiness you seek. My mother spoke to me.

Yes, mom, I said. I promise to return to this earth if I find my happiness with the one I want, but if I don't find anyone, I shall return to the kingdom and continue without a ruler. But this time, I will accept anyone my mother finds for me. I agree with whatever you desire mother, I said, staring at her.

That's good, my child; my mother had concurred with me. After I was talking with her and asking for her permission, I left the kingdom of the waters, and the moment that I got into land, I turned to a beautiful woman with legs.

Two years had passed since I left my kingdom and purchased a purpose on this earth. I searched for a wife or a partner to be mine but found none. I got tired of searching and decided to make something important of my time on this earth.

I had a big company that was popular, but those who worked for me were part of my kingdom. My servants and obeyed all my orders because I was their princess. No one dared to go against me, and if they did, they were in serious trouble with me. The servants that were under me possessed people with things like sweets, biscuits, and chocolate, and whoever ate them joined us instantly. And there was no going out of it unless divine intervention, but if they wanted to leave, death was consumed in them.

I became a princess because I worked hard for it and I was born naturally, which made me more powerful and dangerous than my mother was. But I never wanted it to be that way, and I have always respected my mother. I had a father, but he wasn't really useful to the decisions of the kingdom, but he was a good husband and father.

We were a woman-ruled kingdom, and it has always been that way for ages and centuries, and it will keep continuing until I don't know when. Unfortunately, when I was born, I liked women and girls rather than men from a very young age. At first, my mother wasn't pleased until she saw I was an incorrigible woman, and she threw in the towel, leaving me to be a free woman.

Today, after my meeting, I decided to stroll under the rain and have my powers stronger than ever. So, I walked away into the alley after teleporting there, and unfortunately, I was so injured and robbed that I couldn't risk it when teleporting back to my home. I might end up stuck in a loophole or in another place where I wouldn't be able to escape or get out.

Seeing the lady who helped shocked me, and I had to be weary of her as she seemed nice, but looks can be deceitful, and I have always fallen into that category. Her looking genuine care struck something in my heart, and having the responsibility of bringing in a total stranger to her home was like a situation with which I wasn't comfortable.

She was a Christian and seemed untouchable, while I, on the other hand, was what they called fleeing away. Her not bothering and making sure that I was okay was shocking because I couldn't believe that people like her existed in this world.

You don't blame me, as people in this world needed what I had earlier mentioned, but she still helped. Not bothering about her condition was marvelling to me, and I decided that she seemed interesting and then wanted to get to know her more than I wanted in my life on this earth.

When she told me about her predicaments and how she tried to make herself seem better when she was indeed in pain, it was shocking. She was good at pretending like everything was fine and smiled as she spoke when her eyes held pain in there. I saw how happy she was when I didn't pity her. Also, her giving me lots of meat when she didn't have any meat on her plate to eat was surprising because humans are selfish.

And it seemed that she was different, and I took a liking to her. I could have read her mind if I wanted, but I decided that her emotions and body language were the icing on the cake in getting to know who she was. I listened to every single word that she spoke, and damn, was she really beautiful for me to date but wasn't seen due to the suffering she had been through?

Why didn't she change who she was? That baffled me a lot because of how different she was from the rest that I had met in life. I decided then that I would help her out and be her support system if she needed something or someone. I didn't know why I was eager to help her out, but I just knew then that I had started developing a liking for her and maybe dating her and tainting her soul to be mine wasn't a bad idea either. She was now mine, and I didn't care if He would be angry, but she was now mine forever.

Her soul would be mine, and she was a vessel that I would corrupt, possess, and maybe destroy eventually when she got greedy. Let's see how that would play out, and I smiled and laughed inside me.

She kept shocking me a lot, and I started having second guesses and thoughts about what I planned for her. Her offering her bed to me and being willing to sleep on the floor with a mat was baffling, and after too much persuasion from me, she ended up agreeing and staying on the bed with me grudgingly, not happy with my decision to share a bed with me.

While she slept and I eventually slept, the moment my mother appeared in front of me. I decided as my mother was present, I needed to have a meeting with my mother at Bianca's home, and my mother was shocked when I told everything as I was, when I saw her helping me when she didn't know me.

My child, I hope she isn't pretending, my mother asked me. Or she is really like this kind and caring person.

I don't know, mother, I said. But I hope that with time, I will be able to get to know who she truly is, and for now, I truly don't know what else to say. Let's wait till then, mother, before we conclude.

Okay, then, my child, my mother said before leaving me alone with Bianca. While I decided to sleep, I saw Bianca waking up and going to the kitchen to prepare food, and when she was done. I saw her coming back to the room and entering the bathroom to shower.

After she showered and brushed her teeth, I saw her getting dressed and wanting to leave. I decided to pretend that I was waking up and asking her why she was leaving early to work. When she told me that she was leaving early, to go to work and she had to get there on time and would be trekking there on foot. I had asked her why she was trekking there on foot rather than entering a cab to go to work. She had told me of her using the last penny on her for us, and I had compassion for her for the first time in years since I came to earth.

I will be going she announced and told me of she preparing food for me and asking me to stay until she was back from work to assist me in going back to my family who she thought that they were worried about me. I just nodded, and she smiled and said her byes before leaving.

I was wondering why she was so kind enough to make me feel comfortable when she didn't know me. And that was baffling to me, and I hated how I felt compassion for her when I didn't even know how to feel it or have it. A girl I didn't know and just met made me feel it and things just less than a day ago.

********************************************

I called my servants to get me my car, toiletries, and clothes so I could change. And when she did, I instructed her to wait while I went to the bathroom to do the needful. When I was done, I came out towelling my body and applying my skincare products to my skin to have radiating skin that glowed.

After I was done with it, I went to the kitchen and got the food warmed up and dished out when it was hot enough. I began eating and tasting the delicious food that she had prepared before leaving, enjoying every bite of it. When I was done eating, I washed my dishes and cleared the table before turning to my servant to give her instructions on what to do for me.

I began telling her to send some money for Bianca and making sure that she didn't get to know who was the person that would be kind enough to send money to her. If she did find me,

I warned my servant, I wouldn't hesitate to kill her and I would love to be the one who would be willing to tell or inform her of helping her when she was in need of assistance.

Get the secretary's office arranged and cleaned up, as I ordered. I needed her to have a place to stay and work with when I do employ her, I said.

Yes, ma, she said. It's that all for now.

Yes, it is for now, and I said that, shoving her with my hand. And before you leave, get me my phone from the room, which I ordered.

Okay, ma, she said. Bringing my phone to me before leaving.

After some hours had passed, I saw Bianca almost on her way to the house. I didn't know why I was helping her, but I could say it was maybe because I liked her, but I needed to be careful and know who she was. I couldn't wait until she was mine and was no longer suffering like she was currently. Which angered and annoyed me at the world for being so cruel to her.

You made the softest part of me shown to her and was ready to risk everything to having her just for me and me alone.
