Secrets of Royal Desire.

Chapter 9 : Elisa's fantasies.

As she approached the Queen, Elisa felt a mix of anxiety and excitement. She wanted to know if the Queen needed her services at that moment. She had always taken pride in her work, ensuring that everything was in perfect order, and she refused to allow Margie or anyone to take that away from her. Time and again Margie had tried to oust her from her position, but each time, Prince Hemed had stood firmly by her side, rejecting Margie’s attempts to sabotage her work.

Elisa had often felt a surge of gratitude for the Prince, who had always recognized her dedication and hard work. With him in her corner, she felt a glimmer of hope. "Perhaps, just perhaps, this new guest could bring a change to the palace dynamics." Elisa murmured to herself as she stood before the Queen, her mind filled with possibilities, and her heart beat with the thrill of what was to come.

“Maybe this handsome stranger will be the key to my strength.” She whispered as she made herself ready to embrace whatever lay ahead, determined to create her own future in the complicated palace life.

With a deep, calming breath to gather her thoughts, Elisa steeled herself and prepared to approach the Queen. After all, it was her solemn duty to ensure that the royal family’s needs were met with the utmost care. With a graceful and purposeful stride, she made her way toward the Queen, her heart full of anticipation.

“Good afternoon your Majesty. Can I offer the guest something to drink?” she inquired, her voice steady despite the excitement bubbling within her. Leaning in slightly, she tried to catch a better glimpse of the guest's face, her mind racing with the possibility of familiarity. Her main objective was to find out who that handsome young man was and not necessarily to serve them a drink.

The Queen’s warm smile radiated maternal pride as she turned her gaze towards Elisa. “Ah, my dear Elisa, allow me to introduce my eldest son, Prince Rivers. He has just returned from his studies abroad,” she declared, her eyes twinkling with affection. “And, of course, Prince Hemed and Princess Tina are his younger siblings who stayed with us here while he went about his dreams overseas. That’s why you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting him until now,” she continued, gesturing toward the prince with evident pride.

Elisa’s breath caught in her throat as her eyes met those of Prince Rivers. He was even more breathtaking than she thought, with dark, tousled hair that framed his chiseled face and piercing blue eyes that seemed to penetrate her very own soul. His smile was dazzling and inviting, making her feel as if she were the only person in the entire room. “Prince Rivers, this is Elisa, our new maid,” the Queen’s tone was filled with warmth and approval as she introduced her. “She is the one Jennifer recommended to be responsible for tending to the needs of the royal family.”

As all the other maids in the room turned to admire the prince’s striking presence, Elisa felt a rush of excitement mingling within her nerves as the Queen introduced her with approval. The air buzzed with whispers of admiration, and she could sense a shift in the atmosphere as everyone eagerly awaited the prince’s reaction. As he stepped closer, the warmth of his presence enveloped her, causing her heart to race even more wildly.

“It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Elisa,” he said, his voice rich and smooth, sending delightful shivers down her spine as he shook hands with her. My mom here had been praising you a lot as she talked to me on the phone, I would love to experience your services too.... Elisa.

In that moment, all of Elisa's doubts and insecurities faded away and what truly mattered now was that unexpected connection, a chance to discover more about the prince who had so effortlessly captured her heart.

The room was full of excitement as the Queen signaled for all the other maids to gather for introductions. Elisa felt her heart flutter with a new sense of hope and possibility. She felt like there was something extraordinary.

After serving drinks to the family, Elisa walked slowly to the kitchen to carry out her duties as usual. Her mind was full of thoughts about the Prince who had just arrived. She could not help but her only wish was that he would be different from his brother Hemed.

Hemed was a well known playboy, and it was evident to her because he had played with her feelings earlier. She had hoped that Prince Rivers would treat her differently. The last thing she wanted was for someone to play with her feelings. As she made her way to the kitchen, her feelings for rivers preoccupied her mind greatly. He was incredibly handsome to an extent that she had already found herself attracted by his charm.

She suddenly remembered what Jennifer had said earlier about Prince Hemed and she felt a sense of concern for him, especially with Princess Tyra Banks, who seemed to be completely obsessed with him. Elisha wished him well in her thoughts, she knew how much attention he attracted but she couldn’t stop focusing on the Prince in front of her.

She had felt an unexpected warmth spread through her body, making her heart race.He was not only good looking but also kind and gracious to her even when the Queen introduced her as the maid assigned to serve the royal family. His charming expression made her feel special, and she immediately imagined a different life for herself.

I really don’t know if I can keep following all the rules in this palace anymore,” Elisa thought to herself. “This is a chance I can’t let slip away. If Prince Rivers could ask me to be his girlfriend, I would definitely say yes without a second thought!” A smile crept onto her face as she imagined what might happen.Suddenly, she was startled by the voice of her supervisor Jennifer, who appeared from nowhere with a curious look on her face. “My girl seems to be in a good mood today, May I know the reason behind the excitement?” She asked, clearly fascinated.

Elisa gathered herself feeling a bit embarrassed to share her thoughts. Suddenly she recalled the Queen’s ster warning, the same, same words crossed her mind again as if they were said that very moment. “No one should dare come close to my sons, in the name of love…..” The rest of the words thrilled off.

“Ooh, it’s nothing godmother. I am just thinking about everything that has been happening around lately,” she said casually. As she continued preparing dinner for the royal family, her thoughts were still on Prince Rivers and what might happen next.
