Grooming For Prince Charming

Chapter 5

“Yes,” I answered, frowning my face, at least he could see the anger on my face.

“Good. You could go first” He smiled.

“Maids!” He clapped his hands and immediately, about four of them rushed in.

“They will wash you” He smiled at me.

“Never mind, I can do that on my own” I maintained my frown.

“It is an order, not a request” He frowned.

“Alright,” I hurriedly picked up my towel and dashed into the washroom. They walked in after me. I was certain all doors were locked and there was no way for him to come in before I allowed them to wash me. I enjoyed every bit of it and again, my soul blessed my mother for sending me to such a good place. They were careful in washing my skin like it was some fragile egg that could get broken.

“Your highness, you can come out now” One of the maids smiled at me.

“Thank you” I smiled back and got into the towel. I felt like a child as if I was being pampered. They took me back to the room but fortunately, Prince Tristan wasn't there.

“Would you like a warm massage?” One of the maids asked.

“Of course, I wouldn’t mind” I smiled. I haven’t gotten a massage in a long time. Her hands were so soft as she massaged me. That was the best massage I had ever received. After the massage, they brought in a hanger of clothes.

“What would you like to wear? “ Another maid questioned.

“I would like the one in purple” Tristan answered, walking in.

Wow! Really? I can't even get the chance to pick what I want? Is this some sort of b*****e? I thought.

“Your Highness, your bath water is ready” One of the maids smiled at the Prince.

“Oh really? Thank you” He smiled at her and she smiled too. Right in front of everyone, he took off his clothes. I turned my face quickly to the other side. The maids however looked unconcerned as they continued.

“Diana, Wendy, come with me” He ordered as he covered the lower part of his body with a towel and proceeded to the bathroom.

“Would they bath him too?” I questioned the other two maids who were busy dressing me.

“Yes, your highness” They bowed. For a reason I don’t know, jealousy welled up in me. I did not like the fact that another woman would get to see him in the state of nature. Not just one but two!

I kept mute as the maids did all they could to make sure I look so good for the dinner. He walked out of the bathroom with the maids too and another hanger of clothes was drawn out too for him to make his choice.

“I love this” I pointed at a cloth. I quickly closed my mouth, I felt like slapping myself for speaking without reasoning.

“This is it, then” He pointed at the cloth I chose. “If my woman wants it, then I have no other option but to go for it” He announced.

Wait! What! I blushed so hard that the maids noticed. I could not believe Tristan was going to wear my choice of cloth. After dressing, he took a final look at himself in the mirror and then, a look at me. With a look of satisfaction, he stretched his hands to me.

“Shall we?” He smiled. I smiled too and took his hands. I was nervous because I was going to meet every member of the royal family. What if his father or sister doesn’t like me? What if I failed in something? Fear gripped my heart.
