π ARJUN π
My heart skipped as Akira spilled the wine on Niran. If Father wasn't in a good mood, that would have been the end of her and I would have done nothing about it, whereas it was all my fault.
"You were staring brother." Hana whispered to my ears and I turned my head to look at her.
"Of course not." I denied keeping a straight face.
"I saw you. And you staring at her almost cost her her life. You should be careful." She whispered and I sighed.
"It isn't what you think, and I never meant for her to get into trouble." I whispered to her ears and she nodded.
"I know Arjun. But our big brother doesn't see it that way." She said and I turned my head to look at Niran.
I could see anger in his eyes, and I knew he wanted nothing less than for father to order for her head to be fed to the dogs.
He stood up all of a sudden and walked out of the party. I looked at Hana and she sighed shaking her head.
"Akira is already marked by Niran. And you know what that means." She said and I bowed my head. It was all my fault.
"I will talk to him." I said standing up and running after him. I caught up with him on the way to his Chamber on the forth floor.
"Niran." I called and he stopped without looking back.
"Didn't you see what Father just did? He spared that lady who didn't deserve to be spared." He said angrily and I walked to his front.
"Niran that was a silly mistake and Father saw that too okay?" I muttered and he shook his head negatively.
"No. Father spared her because he was too happy to kill, not considering the fact that I was just mocked by that filty thing. She spilled Wine on me, on Prince Niran's apparel. There is no mercy for that." He said and I breathed out not knowing what to say anymore.
"Niran I know you are angry, and she ought to pay. But since Father gave her another chance, you should to. And the next time she acts like that, I will be there to support you." I said and he looked at the throne again where father was seated.
"Well that's exactly what I want. That she crosses my path and Father gives her that judgement he should have given her today." He said walking away.
I turned to look at him as he walked away. I know Niran is this heart hardened man. Akira must do anything in her power to about him.
If not, she would be killed. And I can't let that happen. I need to warn her. I began to walk back to the party when I saw Nikita walking towards me.
"Nikita." I called stopping her and she bowed her head immediately.
"We need to talk." I said taking a turn away from the party and she followed me. We got to a corner where no one was and I stopped walking and faced her.
"I'm all ears my Prince." She said with her head bowed.
"I need you to place a warning to the new ladies brought in. You saw what just happened with one of them, and I think they are your responsibility now." I said and she nodded.
"What do you need me to do?" She asked calmly.
"You need to tell them to stay away from trouble. Most especially away from Niran if they love their lives. He hates them now, and if they cross his path next time, he won't hesitate to execute them." I said and she nodded.
"I will do exactly what you have asked of me. And I am sorry about Akira's foolishness." She said with her head bowed and I nodded.
"You should tell that to Niran. He was the one that got messed up." I said walking away. I walked back to the party and sat next to Hana.
"How was your chat?" She asked and I sipped my wine.
"She is still on the edge of his anger. If she doesn't any little thing to him, or anyone, he would execute her." I said and she nodded.
"I think she should just be a good girl then." She said.
"I hope so." I mumbled staring into space.
π NIKITA π
I got to their room and opened the door, I walked in to meet Akira sobbing on the bed.
"Akira." I called and she sprang to her feet at the sound of my Voice.
"I am so sorry Ma'am Nikita. I didn't know what happened." She mumbled in tears.
"No one knows when mistakes are going to happen. But in this Place, ruled by Maeko, you need to be extra careful and do without mistakes if you want to live." I said and she nodded sadly.
"I acted stupid and I almost got beheaded. It's terrifying." She muttered in tears.
"I know Akira, and that's why I am here. To warn you never to make that mistake or any mistakes again because you won't be spared."
"You are my responsibility now. And anything that happens to you is all my fault here. So I have come to warn you, do what is right and stay away from troubles. Not from only Prince Niran, but from everyone." I explained and she nodded cleaning her eyes.
"Don't you think I should go apologize to the prince after some hours? Maybe he would listen and would have calmed down." She said and my eyes widened.
"You would so no such thing Akira. Going to his presence will trigger his anger even more. Prince Niran is the most complicated person in this palace."
"He doesn't calm down. The same anger he is feeling right now, is the same he will feel when he keeps seeing you." I said and I saw fear in her eyes. I could see fear radiate all over her body.
"How are you so sure? Has this ever happened before?" She asked and I nodded.
"Rhoda was to take food to him in his Chamber, she was careless and the she spilled the food right in front of Prince Niran."
"He was so angry, that he requested for her head. They did exactly as he ordered and the king could do nothing about it."
"You should so thankful to your ancestors that this happened when the king is in his best moments, he would have left you to Prince Niran, and you would be dead by now." I said and she began to shiver.
"Does anyone even survive here at all?" She asked in frustration.
"I am still surviving. Do as I tell you and everything will be just fine." I said to her and she nodded slowly.
"Thank you Ma'am Nikita." She said and I smiled.
"You should get back to the party." I said and her eyes widened.
"I don't think that's a good idea. Not after I just escaped a cruel death sentence. I don't want to come face to face with the Prince again." She said and i smiled.
"Prince Niran left the Party in anger. And you can't stay here when you have things to do out there. So pull yourself together, get back to work and make sure you don't make an silly mistakes anymore. Two mistakes In a day can lead to death." I said and she nodded.
She reached for her jar which was empty already and carried it.
"You should fill that up. You won't stop serving wine till the Party is over, which is at dawn."
"I will pass the message I told you now to Mei and Vanna Tomorrow morning. They can't get Into trouble under my watch, most especially Mei."
"I don't know what to do with her. She is just so stubborn." I mumbled sighing.
"I will talk to her too. She is still not believing we are slave for real." She said.
"You all should start believing now. I was once In your shoes, and after a while I knew I should focusing on one thing, staying alive."
"If you are wise enough you would do the same. Get back to work." I said and she nodded walking out of the room.
TBC.....
Prince Arjun is feeling guilty π₯
And Niran is damn angry....
γ½οΈ PRINCESS HANA γ½οΈ #the_next_dayIt was morning already, I woke up feeling streets out due to yesterday's party. It was until dawn I came to rest.I pressed the bell that was next to my bed and waited for my maids to come in.After few minutes, the ten of them rushed in. I think it's high time I discarded some of the old ones.And ones they are discarded, they are turned to the palace slaves. They sweep and keep the palace clean."Good morning my Princess." They greeted bowing their heads.I stood up and they reached for my robe and began to get it off. The new ones reluctantly joined not knowing exactly what to do.But since they seemed wise they followed their leads. Some went to the bath
π NIKITA π "How was your first service to the princess?" I asked trying to hide the fear that my son was just called into the Princess's chamber."It was annoying." Mei said and I sighed folding my hands."You won't really give up Hun?" I asked and she shook her head."Ma'am Nikita can we ask you some questions?" Vanna asked and I nodded walking to one of the beds and sitting down."Ask me anything you want to know about the way things are done in the palace." I muttered and she nodded."What does it mean for someone to be discarded?" She asked and I heaved."That means the Princess, Queen or the Prince won't be needing the services of that Maid anymore. The ones that are discarded are those who have been serving them for a very long time
π PRINCESS MAYA π I stared at Prince Arjun, lost in his handsomeness. I couldn't seem to get my eyes off him.Truly, he is the most handsome in all of Medan. And I am the only one, I mean the only one that deserves his attention, since I am also the most beautiful girl in my town.As my sister greeted the family, I kept my gaze on Arjun.Our eyes met, and when I was about giving him this sexy smile, he looked away. I heaved tracing what could have taken his attention off my beautiful face and it happened to be one of the slaves.She was annoyingly beautiful, but I bet she isn't as beautiful as I am. I began to grow angry when I heard my sister's Voice."Maya. It's time to greet the family." She said standing next to Niran, and I smiled loving the sound of it.
π AARON πI sat exactly where Princess Hana asked me to sit and wait for her. I couldn't move because I knew if she didn't meet me where i was asked to sit, that would be the end of me.I looked around the Chamber enjoying the looks of the luxury. Since I was born in this Palace, I have never entered any other rooms apart from the one given to My mother and I.The story of my life is really funny. Given birth to in a palace without giving the privilege of enjoying that fact.Mother never told me what happened to my father until I was fifteen years old. And since then, I have always hated King Maeko and his family.And now I am in his Child's room, i hope I am not in a bigger trouble this time.Suddenly, the door of the chamber opened and the princess
β AKIRA β"So you and the Princess were friends at a very tender age?" I asked and he and his mother, Nikita nodded."Woah. That's....""Insane right?" He asked and I nodded looking at Nikita."You need to stay away from her if you want to live. You were almost killed by her Father because you were friends with her when you were still very young. If not for Queen Amber, I would have lost you too.""I lost your father a long time ago, and I can't lose you too. I won't be able to take it. You are my only hope and I would never let anything bad happen to you, and that starts with you running away from the princess." She explained in fear and tears."Mom trust me, nothing would happen to me. When she told me those things I remembered some times when we were in the garden together. It was beautiful and it's
π ARJUN π I stood up from my bed, I wanted to take a nap but it wasn't flowing at all. My Spirit was troubled.I was walking to the toilet, when I saw Akira at the side of the garden washing these hips of clothes."Who the f**k gave her so many clothes to wash with her bare hands when there are washing machines around the palace." I said to myself.I stared at her and I saw how stressed she looked. And just then Aaron son of Nikita came Into the picture and I saw him helping her spread the clothes.He walked closer to her and she smiled widely, making me smile too."This isn't fair. Who would do this to a new girl in the palace." I thought walking out of my chamber.I got out and I saw Princess Maya walking towards my chamber."Prince Arjun. Are you going s
β NIRAN βI sat at the dinning table, alongside with Katika who was looking pissed."Are you alright?" I whispered to her as the remaining family joined the table."Your brother Prince Arjun released Akira of the punishment I gave her. Without even telling me. He even said I was wrong right in front of her." She said angrily and I got pissed."Why would he do something like that?" I asked and she shrugged her shoulders."I don't know. He should be the one answering that." She said looking away, and I saw Arjun walking to the table with Hana."Where is my sister?" She asked looking around."I am here Sister." Maya replied grinning and I furrowed my brows wondering why she looked so Happy.The maids began to troop in with trays of different dishes in t
π AARON πI helped Akira out of Prince Arjun's hands and helped her to her room. Her face was swollen and damaged."I hate these people." I said as she sat on her own bed."You can't blame them. They have no respect for ordinary humans, talkless of slaves." She said in pain."This is cruel! So cruel!" I yelled making her flinch."Aaron watch what you say. I don't want to lose you okay?" She stated and I sighed staring at her."Do you have any ointment around?" I asked and she nodded."Nikita kept some in the drawer for us. Just for times like this." She said and I walked to the drawer to get it.I looked for a cloth around and tore a small part
