Getting to know his mistress

I finally made it out of the woods, my feet, hands, and dress were dirty, I was able to meet some of the soldiers, who escorted me back to my chamber, Gunther came in to ask me some questions before leaving the room.

He appeared later with an angry-looking Prince by his side.

"what happened," he bellowed at me,

"my dog ran into the woods, so I went to go and get it," I explained to him hoping he will understand

"And you went to get it yourself, for God's sake, you've been in Baneria for only two weeks and you're already getting into trouble," he yelled at me,

"I wasn't the one who sign up to be in Baneria, you wouldn't have been coming to my rescue if you chose another of my sister," I yelled back at him, bulging my eyes at him,

"ooh, so you're trying to make me regret my decision," he snarled,

"I'm only reminding you that I never forced you to choose me, neither did I force you to come to my aids, don't make it look as if I want you," I told him, picking up my dog and went to stand beside the window until he left with the guards that came with him.

"Zara...," Diana called opening the door to my room, I was sitting on my bed petting Alf that was sitting on top of my hands, Yvonne was inside the bathroom she was preparing a bath for me and Alf,

"Are you okay, I heard what happened to you," she said coming to sit beside me on my bed.

"I'm okay, no need to worry," I assured her with a smile.

"Are you sure, " she was still concerned, she began to check my body for any injury.

"is Alf okay," she questioned checking on Alf too.

"We are both okay, you just worrying too much," I told her, laughing at her reaction.

"Why shouldn't I be concerned, you're my sister, I have to worry about you," she exclaimed, pouting her face.

"Thanks for considering me as a sister, you don't know how happy I am to know someone like you here," I told her, hugging her as Yvonne came in to inform me that she was accomplished,

"I and Alf have to go take my shower now," I informed her,

" It's okay, I'll come and check up on you later," she told me before leaving my room, Yvonne was busy preparing what I'm going to put on after my bath, as picked her up and left for the bathroom,

"It's been two days since I last saw the prince, the last time I saw him, he seems to be ignoring me, so today I decided to make him a bangle out of the pearls I had picked from the riverside, I told Yvonne about it and he seems to like the idea also,

While making the bangle I had been thinking about Duncan, I was still wondering if he was ok or dead, a part of me assured me that he was okay but I can't help but worry and the fact I haven't told anyone except Yvonne made me feel guilty, that was also the main reason why I was making the bangle, maybe I could get him to forgive me and then I will tell him about Duncan,

I was finally done making the bangle, so I left to go give him, telling Yvonne and the guards who followed me, since that was what the prince asked them to do, they had wanted to give him by themselves but I refused, insisting on giving it to him by myself because I apologize wanted to him when I give him the bangle,

We had reached his chamber, standing in front of his door, as I was about to knock but stop when I heard a sound at the other end of the door,

"my princess, maybe we should come back later or you can just give one of us the letter to wait here and give him," one of the guards told, as the other one agreed by nodding his head, I found their reaction suspicious like they didn't want me to know about something,

"We are already here, I don't see the need to back later," I objected, knocking at the door as the noise in his room suddenly stop,

"go away, come back later," he spoke out as the noise continued again, I was now wondering what he was doing that he can't come and open the door,

I decided to open the door out of my curiosity but regretted it the instant I saw him on the bed with a red-haired woman, he seems shocked after seeing me while the woman beside him didn't even care to cover herself at all,

"didn't I tell you not to open the door," I was shocked to hear him yell at me, he didn't even feel guilty,

"I'm...sorry," I whispered, not knowing what to say, unable to understand why I was even apologizing,

"go to your room," he told me, rubbing his forehead with his palm as the girl beside him rub all over his back and chest, glaring at me with an evil smirk on her face, as if she was trying to make me feel jealous or angry,

"didn't you hear what he told you or you're a cuckold who just plans on watching us do it," the woman taunted, Eric just stared at her, saying nothing.

"Can you just leave the room," Eric told me pointing towards the door,

"you don't have to inform me twice, I'll leave the room for both of you," I finally dared to speak up, turning round to leave and shutting down the door behind me, what hurt me the most was how the noise started immediately I left the room, the guards who escorted me here were giving me a pity face,

"I'm sorry," the guard who told me to come back later said, bowing his face,

"It's okay, you tried your best to stop me, I'm sorry for not understanding you on time, let go," I told them walking away first and leaving them to walk behind,

"How did it go, did the prince like it, was it okay on him, did it make him want to sweep you off your feet and kiss you forever," Diana probed me with questions, Yvonne must have told her what I wanted to do,
