Seven

Perhaps it was the way she had dressed, that night as all attention was a tipsy Chloe and the way she sways her body to the tune while the prince held her hand. The dancing fall was left for the duo as they danced their heart away, not realizing that.

The queens face held a smile, it is the first she had seen one of her boys interested in a lady that much. Especially Arthur, he keeps things to himself. The influence of losing his parents at that young age had affected him, to the extent that he had to see a therapist.

And luckily for them, he improved but differently. It was an achievement for the queen. Now since, he might be interested in Chloe; she will make necessary preparation as time is not on her side. The dance ended and Prince Arthur let go of Chloe. He was feeling dizzy because he was used to dancing that much.

Even in the united state, where he is in a situation where he had to attend a dance or party, as the foreigners calls it, he always makes sure he doesn’t involve his self in such. Slowly, the sacred dance party organized by the queen ended and the queen gave her last words before leaving the hall.

Chloe’s eyes roamed around the room, if she could get a glimpse of her prince charming and then exchange phone numbers with him, and then she will forever be grateful. “Chloe” a drunken viscount dragged, jerking her out of her reveries.

“Yes father.” She answered annoyingly. If it was up to her, then she would have ditched her father and his abnormal behavior to look for her new obsession. He dragged her by the arm, without hearing a word from her again.

She knows better than anyone to talk to her father at that moment and she will regret it, or her poor mother will be the one to hear the last of it for raising her poorly.

The viscount flinched Chloe into the car as she could only huff out inwardly.

Throughout the ride, as her happy father kept singing the country anthem, she ignored him and would time to time peek at him to see how he was coping because he had vomited twice. Chloe had always hated the idea of them living far away from the palace, she had said since her father is the only cousin to the queen, then they should be given a place in the huge palace, but the viscount cares less about that as he has his plans rolled up in his sleeves.

Finally, they dropped off the car and Chloe ran to her room without waiting or assisting in the guards in taking her father in. she had enough of him already and will like to be left alone while she plans how to get to the prince again.

Getting into the palace without an invitation will be for her so she desperately needs an eye in the palace. With the help of her maid, she was able to change into her night wears. She gulped down a cup of water before she let sleep engulf her.

The sun ray penetrates through the windows of the room making her groan. As long as she could remember, the curtains were dropped down last night hence the deed pointing to one particular person, her personal maid.

She opened her eyes, hearing the water running from the tap. Indeed her suspicious are right. She waited for the girl to return back to the room so that she would scold her off for doing so. They knew how she valued her sleep and hates it when she is been woken up.

“Ruby.” She groaned loudly. Her head was pounding and she felt as if it was going to drop down. Ruby on the cue rushed out from the bathroom to me her. She had finished setting up the tub for her bathing when she actually called her out.

“Miss Chloe” she greeted as she bowed. “Can you get me some aspirin?” she ordered rubbing her forehead.

Ruby nodded before she headed to the side where a first aid box is being kept. After fetching the aspirin she requested, she rushed back to the room and passed it to her plus a glass of water. “Here miss.” She said as she helped her pushed the edge of the water into her mouth.

Without muttering a thank you, Chloe made her way to the bathroom. A very hot bath will be of help now before she set to her new agenda. To find Prince Arthur and get his number, then maybe seduce him as the time goes on.

After taking her hot bath, she proceeded to her walk in closet to get something more presentable to wear. “This will fit more, miss” ruby said as her touched through the fabrics.

Among all Chloe’s maids, it is only Ruby that has access to her closet. She believes the rest want to steal from her and in that closet, her jewelries and what will cost her a fortune is. “Sure.” For the second time in history, Chloe is actually agreeing with Ruby’s choice, it was indeed an achievement and soon, Ruby knew she will be more than a maid to her.

“Did you do what I asked you of?” Chloe asked. Ruby was trying to make the fitted armless gown fits her properly. It might be a lie but she still wonders how Chloe get fat overnight.

“Yes. Currently the princes should be at the courtyard, trying their horses.” It was all she needed to hear. “The courtyard is where we will head first. Get ready while I have my breakfast and inform the driver to prepare the car.” She ordered in an attentive tone before she left the room for the dining table.

Making sure she was satisfied with the food, she called for Ruby and together, they set in their journey to find her prince in the courtyard.
