Rylee's P.O.V
We all were together in the kitchen helping each other. There was a large celebration going on in the ballroom. We could hear the voices of loud music and talking's of older, riches men and women. I was just sitting ideally in a corner because Kamilla forbid me to do other works, since I was a cook so I had to only do that. I was getting bore sitting hours and doing nothing. What I thought it would be loving and interesting to be inside this magnificent place turned out to be extremely boring and lethargy. Lucy was not also there and other maids were working. and hence I decided to sneak out for fewer minutes. The guards might not question me because I was now a royal cook working here. So if anybody would ask I could straight forward answer them. I checked outside, the large hall looked empty besides some door guards. Before could Kamilla come, I could have round to nearby halls.
"I just desire to see this magnificent palace because coming holiday, I will be going to my mother and of course I was sure, she would be asking hundreds of question and so I have to prepare myself." She smiled and blinked her eye.
Rylee was a curious girl and her curiosity would not end in peace until she roamed around the palace. She wanted to discover each and every corner including the garden she had seen from the mini window of her room. One day in the middle of night when she suddenly woke up, she looked out of the window and her eyes reached to a corner. She felt she was there once. Her mind was crowded with thoughts and she felt a sudden pain in her head. She tried many times recalling but failed and that's why in first opportunity she wanted to go there once.
I was fearlessly walking and anyone who would pass from my side would definitely here the sounds of my shoes. It was exactly like royals do and I was habituated from my childhood. I was just hoping no one should see me sneaking out because yesterday only I mugged up the rules and today I was breaking. After some minutes I saw someone calling me. I thought they caught me but it was someone else whom I had never seen. She asked me to escort her mother to their room and I followed them. Later I found out that she was Princess Giana and her mother was Goneril. She was unwell and they needed some rest. She mistook me as a maid but I did not say anything because I was enjoying the fact that I could enter a royal room. Somehow we reached and I just forgot the way to go back. It was so confusing, the halls the rooms , the stairs looked familiar with each other. I told them I was new here but they still asked me to escort. Looking at their faces I realized something was troubling them. I was reluctantly standing there without uttering a single word and then a little girl entered.
She was a another royal princess named Alexa. She was little, cute and sweet girl. I saw she was playing around her mother but her mother took no interest in pampering her little daughter. She instead scolded her and Alexa started crying. I wanted to pacify her but could not because I was not asked to do that. I stood still and that's when Princess Giana asked me to take her away and feed something. I came out holding the little girl's hand.
"I mean how can someone be so rude and selfish to their own child? Instead of giving her love and hugs, she scolded her?" Alexa was crying a lot, I saw her left hand was little reddish in colour. I tried everything to stop her from crying but she ...
I asked her about Azmira but she was in so much in pain and tears that she ran away from me and I followed her too. I was shouting and telling some royal guards to keep a hold on her but none of them cared to listen.
"Are they deaf or what? What is the use then standing in the door, keeping heads down and not listening to others."
I ran as much as I could but wearing such heels and a frock-fitted tight dress was not letting me to run more and when I turned left of the corridor, I bumped onto him. My both hands were on his chest and he kept one of his hand on my back and with another he was holding my left hand. Our eyes locked with other for fewer seconds. He was a handsome man I ever came across. For a few moments I realized I had seen him somewhere but I was so much into his intensifying gaze that nothing was coming into my mind. I literally forgot that I had to chase Alexa otherwise she would be lost but I was just lost where I was, if anyone would have seen us in this position, I would have been either punished or expelled. Looking deep into his eyes, I realized he was called as traitor that day by some royal guards and when he said "You?" I easily recognized him.
He was the same man I had seen in the circus. He collided with me. He was the same i***t who was ogling me from top to bottom. But the man whom I had seen in the circus park was different from what I was seeing right now. This man, above whom I was lying, looked magnificently elegant. He was wearing a fine white royal suit, some silver and gold chains around his neck and the aroma of his body was making me go dizzy.
"Is he the prince whose birthday was being celebrated?" I questioned myself.
"Will you keep on lying on me like this?" He mumbled.
"Huhh? What?
