Prince Todd's Wish!
1457 Words
Aria POV
"Take your men away Edward. You're scaring the maid" Prince Todd said.
"Go back to your position!" The officer said and the guards obeyed.
"Please, stand" Prince Todd said to me. I stood but, didn't raise my head. If I was going to kill these people, I need to act obedient and nice so they could trust me and have no idea I'm a killer.
"Come on, we were friends seconds ago. Don't act so obedient. Yell at me, come on!" Prince Todd said.
Friends? Did he just call me his friend? The only thing I want to do is drive a dagger into his heart and watch him bleed to death.
"Your highness, you ran away, missing today's lectures" the man in uniform, Edward spoke. He looked like he was friends with Todd, seeing the way he speaks freely with him.
"I'll come in for my punishment later" Todd said, taking few steps closer to me.
"Let's go! Now!" Edward pulled him.
"Tell me, what's your name?" Todd asked as they pulled him away. I raised my head and watched as they dragged him.
Prince Todd, he's the second prince of the great stupid Alpha. He was dazzling and hot. His eyes and hair, they looked so beautiful, making him look like a god incarnate. I've heard how friendly he is. He might be an easy one to kill. I turned and saw some maids walking towards me.
"It's time to prepare the royal family's dinner! Come with us!" One of the maid pulled me.
"But I..."
"No excuses!" The girl barked at me.
Immediately, I kept mute and followed them into the royal kitchen. We started making some food immediately.
They had different type of meals. It was getting late and we were ready to serve them.
"Here, take it to the table" one of the chef handed the sauce to me.
"Here, give it" another girl collected it from me.
"You look new, you just arrived today?" She asked.
I nodded.
"If you have no experience in serving the royal family, don't show yourself at the dinning table. One silly mistake will get you killed" the girl said harshly and took the plate from me. I saw how she walked elegantly to the dinning table, placing the meal on the table. She was talking about serving the royal family. I use to be served at the dining table. The family hasn't even arrived yet.
After some minutes, they arrived and sat down, comfortably. The maids served their meal.
I tinted my eyebrows, seeing the man who killed my family enjoying his dinner. I wished I was able to take that cutlery he was using and stab him right in his eyes.
His sons arrived, two of them. The Alpha frowned.
"Where is Vallin?" He asked.
His sons looked around, there was no sign of Vallin anywhere.
The Alpha banged his hand angrily on the table.
"Don't get so worked up father, I'm here" he appeared, looking all sweaty. He has been training all day.
I saw as the maids behind me squealed silently.
"He's so hot and dreamy"
"Natalia is so lucky so have him"
Who the f**k is Natalia? I wish I could ask, but seeing the proud girl from earlier staring at Prince Vallin, I knew she was the so called Natalia. The Alpha took a spoon from his soup and groaned loudly.
"Why is it so tasteless?!" He yelled. Natalia moved closer to the Alpha.
"I'll take it away, my king" she said and grabbed the metal gold plate. It burnt her finger. She dropped it and a portion of the soup splashed on the king's robe.
The other maids gasped, closing their mouth in shock.
"Oh no, Natalia has never made a mistake before"
The king looked furious. The king's mistress from earlier sprung up and slapped Natalia on the face.
"How dare you? You deserve to be beheaded!" She yelled.
I had no idea what pushed me but, I walked to the dinning table and bowed.
"Apologies my king" I said and took the salt and sprinkled some into the food, adding some of the sauce in it. I gently moved back, with my head bowed. I saw the weird smile on Todd's face.
The king had no idea where I came from but, he tasted the soup and nodded his head.
"It tastes much better" he said, smiling at me.
I heaved a breath of relief. Hold on, I regretted doing that. I wish I had poisoned the salt, they would have died. But, no... I want to kill them all the same way they killed my family. I'll slice them into pieces and burn them right in front of the throne.
"What's your name?" The king asked and I snapped back to reality.
"Aria, My King" I replied, with my head lowered.
"Aria, thank you for making my soup better" he said. I smiled and bowed again. I raised my head mistakenly and saw Todd, winking at me. I rolled my eyes and threw my gaze away.
Until they were done eating their meal, Natalia remained on the floor.
Prince Vallin left the table first.
"I'll be off, father" he said.
"You barely touched your meal"
"Good night" he said and left.
That was rude. He was the rude one and the most arrogant out of the three sons. People feared him but girls adored him. They all wanted to get on his bed but, the only person who has ended up on his bed was Natalia. The others left the table and Natalia finally sprung up. The king even forgot that he was mad at her.
I walked to the table to pack up the dirty plates. Natalia grabbed me from behind and tightened her grip on my wrist.
"Ow...You're hurting me" I pretended to be hurt.
"How dare you humiliate me in front of the entire household?" She asked, grinning angrily.
"Humiliate you? I helped you! A simple thank you is fine" I said.
"I don't need your help. Next time this happens, I'll make sure I punish you! w***e!" She said and walked away.
This was the reason why I never showed any sign of kindness at all. This was the reason I purposely failed the discipline lesson. Why do you need to be kind when others won't accept it?
"Don't listen to her, you saved the chefs. They would have been killed" one of the maids said. I gathered my strength to smile.
"Aria?"
"Yes?" I turned. I saw it was the prince and bowed.
"Yes, your highness" I said.
"Oh, don't act like that. I finally get your name. Aria, it's beautiful"
"Thank you, your highness" I said. He walked majestically towards me.
"Come with me" he said.
"Now?" I asked.
"Go" the maids whispered.
"Yes, my prince" I groaned silently and walked behind him.
"She just came today and she's going to spend time with prince Todd. She's so lucky"
"I know right"
The rest of the maids murmured.

Prince Todd led me out of the dinning table and took me out of the palace. It was night already, the moon was up and the breeze was cold.
As I walked behind him, I wondered why he made me come out with him. Besides that, it was a perfect chance to kill him. But, I have to remember that I have a plan already. Kill them all together and burn them at once.
"So, tell me about yourself" he said.
"As a maid, am I supposed to do that, your highness?" I asked.
"Of course, I know you're kind hearted. You saved your fellow maid by adding some stuff into my father's meal. You're one great person. I like you already" he said.
"So, do you want to sleep with me?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. He smiled and stopped walking. I also stopped walking.
He turned and face me.
"Is it obvious?" He asked, with a smirk on his face.
What does that mean? Was that a yes? I'm not up to 18 yet, I can't have s*x! At the mention of that, my heart started beating fast. My chest went up and down. He was going to take me to his room, strip me naked and sleep with me. Seductively, he walked to me and I took a some steps back. When he saw that I was moving away from him, He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer to himself. He could literally feel my heartbeat because my chest was right on his body.
Our eyes locked against each other.
He drew his lips closer to my ear and whispered something...
"...."
