Chapter thirty Nine: Prince Charming

Jackia's point of view 

I still couldn't understand the sickness that came along with her being pregnant. I didn't seem to think much about it anymore as I continued to enjoy their little conversation which they brought me into along the line 

"What would you like to eat?" The maid asked the lady, but she refused to answer her. "I don't want to eat anything for now, please," she pleaded, but she still had to eat something, and I couldn't just sit and watch her deny her child enough food just because she didn't feel like eating yet.

"You know you have a life growing in you; it needs to eat for it to be strong and for you to be strong enough to push him or her out when it is time.".

I said in a loving voice to her, as she smiled at me all the time.

"Okay, I will eat if you eat with me," I said. She was such a sweet soul; of course, I would love to eat with you. Please get us something to eat.".

I told the maid that she had left us alone. I am sure her mind will be at rest, leaving her with me. "Who is the father of the baby?".

I was curious to ask her about that, knowing fully well, that it would take the maid a lot of time to get back, and that I could use that opportunity to get to know her more and better. "You want to know about the father of my child?".

I shook my head in response, anticipating her next word: "I understand the fact that you've not seen me in the palace before, but I have seen you, and I have heard countless stories about how brave you are." 

"I was once like you, strong and brave. But I fell in love with the most wonderful man on earth. If I could say that he was perfect, I know that no one is perfect. My parents were the manipulative type, and they tried all they could.

"That was when my prince Charming came." When she mentioned my prince Charming, I could not help but think that he was the alpha, the father of the child. I was already thinking of possibilities

If he were the father, if the child was still looking for a mate, why was the moon goddess in support of him? I can't sit here and listen to any more of it, but I still can't just walk out on her. 

Or leave her alone in this room while her maid is away. I sat down and continued to stare right at her. "He never made me regret leaving my parents, and I can't be more than grateful for that.".

She stretched her hands to pick out the flower on my chest. It was given to me the first day I arrived at the palace, and I must say that it has never left my sight, not since my maid was always with me. 

"It is beautiful. Can I hold on to it for a little while?" She asked me, and I couldn't refuse. At that time, her maid came in with a large tray full of food, but I still couldn't stay. I stood up immediately and said.

"I think I should take my leave; now my maid might be so worried about me," I said as I walked out of the room without waiting for a response.

I almost got lost, as I was about to take the wrong corner. Thanks to a guard who saw me and called out to me.

"Miss Jackie," are you likely to be heading towards your room?" I turned around to see the guard standing far away from me. 

"Oh, yes, please. I seem to have lost my way.".

I said, as I was quite embarrassed by this," Please let me help you to your room." He pointed in the other direction. I wanted to take an earlier

"Thank you," I said as I hurried on towards the hall. 

As soon as we got to my room, I said my thanks and headed inside. My maid was already sitting prettily on the edge of the bed," And here comes my pretty lady, who loves to disappear at will and appear whenever she likes." 

"Oh no. It is not what you think," I said, rushing to sit beside her. "It is a long story, and I do not know where or how to even start.".

She looked at me with a strange eye. "What are you talking about?" I placed the little bag that I had been holding all along and reached out to pull off the little flower bowl that was supposed to be on my chest. 

"Where did it go?"

"Where did that go?" She looked at me. "My bowl, I don't know; I think I have misplaced a bit," she sighed. "If it's about that, you still have one more to make use of. What about wherever you went?""

My maid was more like an angel if there was anything like that, but she has always watched over me, and I cannot be more than grateful. "Thank you, and yes, do you know that the prince has a secret woman who is pregnant with him in the palace?".

"What a secret, woman, and where did you hear that from?" My maid scoffed as she went about doing unnecessary things. "Did you know about it too?" She looked at me and confided, "Know about what, if I may ask?".

"About the pregnant lady hiding away from everyone," she sighed and sat down. "If you are referring to the same pregnant lady that is on the east wing of the palace, she has maids assigned to her.".

"Yes, she is the one," I tried injecting into the conversation, "she is the mate of the alpha's beta."

"What? You don't mean that!" She shook her head in response. "Then why did she refer him to her prince?".

"He is her prince, of course; they are together, so definitely it is love." I sat down in awe as I had been robbed of my little tour and emotionally toyed with, but why was I even angry in the first place, not like I liked the alpha to start with.
