Chapter sixteen: the festival 2

Eugene's pov:

"Give me your hand" l said coldly and stretched out my hand. "What!" She was shocked. "I don't like repeating myself" l said coldly. She recomposed herself and took a few steps closer. She was about to place her hand in mine when Samantha bursted in. "Baby, are you ready?" She said. Sometimes l feel like torturing that girl, if she wasn't satisfying my sexual desires, l would have killed her a long time ago. She frowned when she saw Heaven, "what are you doing here?" she said scornfully. Heaven gave her a ' how is that your business' look and that got Samantha more angry, "l'm talking to you bitch, don't give me that look" she growled. This woman is really getting on my nerves. "I am the king's personal hand maid, why can't l be in his room?" Heaven smirked, it seems she is delibrately angering her for fun. "You bitch , how dare you talk to me like that" Samantha growled and moved towards her. "That's enough" l growled. And they both froze. "Heaven, go to your room and get ready for the festival" l said. "Yes, your majesty" she said smilingly. She is really enjoying Samantha' s anger, isn't she?. "Baby, why are you doing this to me?, Why are you choosing that girl over me?" She cried dramatically. "Stop being dramatic Sam" l said coldly. She stiffened, "baby, why are you being like this, l'm your mate" she cried dramatically, this girl is really getting on my nerves. It seems l have to make things clear to her again, l turned to her with a dead pan face, "look here Samantha, this will be the last time l am going to repeat myself. You are not my mate, if you were my mate l would have known a long time ago. You wanted to be my mistress, and l allowed that. You can't be my queen , you are only my mistress. Do you get it now?" I said in a calm yet dangerous tone. Her eyes were filled with tears after hearing that. "Now get out of sight" l said coldly. And with that she ran out of my room and slammed the door hard. l hope she listens this time. This is not the first time l've tried to talk sense into her, but they always fell on deaf ears.

Heaven Alizah Dianne's pov:

Well that was fun. That bitch will be sheathing in anger right now. When l entered my room, l found a box on my bed. There is a letter on it. 'Put on the dress and be quick', "oh, Heaven, the king said you should put on the dress and accompany him to the festival" said Freya. "Okay, thank you" l said. "And also, l hope you know that as the king's personal handmaid, you've got eight maids to help you accompany the king. And probably even follow you around" she said. "Got it" l nodded my head. And she left to attend to her duties. I opened the box and brought out a beautiful royal blue gown. The gown is a long sleeve gown, the sleeves are latin sleeves, the gown has nice fitting from the shoulder to the waist, and has a flowing skirt. A beautiful deep blue belt and matching shoes also came with it. Samantha will be sheathing in anger if she sees me in this. I wore the dress, l didn't do much make up. I am beautiful just the way l am. I applied a little lip tint, and nail polish. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. And with that l left my room. As soon as l got out, l was welcomed by a group of eight maids. They all bowed slightly to me. "Hey , what is the meaning of this?" I asked, and they all looked up terrified. "We are all maids here, why are you bowing to me?, Don't do that again, it feels awkward" l said, and they calmed down immediately. "Regardless, you are above all of us. You are the highest ranking maid in the palace. We have to respect you" said one of the maids. " Oh please stop, a maid is a maid, regardless of the title. Don't do that again it feels weird" l said, and they just smiled. They made way for me to stay in the front. Then they assembled themselves in two rows of four behind me. And with that we made our way to king's room.
