Episode 6
Nathan kept pestering me for days, I got tired of his constant visits, coming to my room at a very odd hour to know if I’ve disappeared..
I felt my job was at risk, I was no longer having time to spend with Kelvin..
I woke up one morning with Nathan’s heavy knock on my door.
Freshen up Naomi, we’re going out..
I didn’t ask where and why, I freshened up and got dressed.
He called kelvin and asked him to get one of his horse 🐎 ready..
Ain’t we supposed to use two horses your highness, I asked him.
I want you to ride with me.. you may fall off riding alone..
Where are you going to My king? Susan asked.
I want to see the streams, haven’t gone there since I returned, last time I went there was when I was a baby…
Shouldn’t I be the one to go with you ? I’d love to see the streams too..Susan said.
I’ll be back Susan.
Nathan, who’s going with you?? The king asked.
Naomi Father. She knows her way around the kingdom more than I or Susan..
You’re supposed to go out with your future wife, why are you always neglecting her Nathan??
Mother, I am not neglecting her. I’ll go out with her when I want to..
If you must go out, then kelvin will have to go with you, just incase anything happens..
I smiled hearing that kelvin will follow us…
It’s fine! Let’s go then. We’ll be needing two horses..
Kelvin got everything ready and he rode with me….
We got to the stream, Nathan was trying to be smart by asking him to go back and get some food..
Kelvin went back to the palace..
I became very uncomfortable with the way Nathan looks at me..
Have you seen someone and like the person for no reason? He asked me.
Yes.. I have seen people and like them for no reason.
On the very first day you meet them or as time goes on.
As time goes on.. I responded.
I wanted to talk to you Naomi…. What do you think of Susan?
I am not really close to her as I am not her personal maiden, but with what I’ve seen and noticed soo far I feel she really loves you and both of you will be a wonderful ruler..
Okay, Thank you.. I miss the breeze here, everything reminds me of the past.. leaving this place for soo many years wasnt my dream..
You and your siblings needed protection.. all of you are royalty and it is our duty to protect you and your family..
Where were you when the war started?
I was fighting for my life while my parents were fighting for you, your family and the people
I do not understand Naomi.
I really do not like to talk about the war that claimed soo many lives your highness, it only open old wounds.
I’m happy we’re having this conversation.. so tell me about everything you witnessed on that day..
I’m sorry my prince, i do not like to talk about it..
Kelvin arrived shortly.. I smiled at him and he winked 😉 at me. We stayed there for a while before going back to the palace.
Nathan, I do not understand why you took Naomi for a ride instead of me, I’ve been here since you arrived hoping you’d look at me and tell me you love me and you’re proud to have me as your queen, I do not always get that.. rather I get ignored by you..
Tell me Nathan, don’t you love me? I’ve been waiting for you since you left with your maid..
Susan, what is it that you want from me? We’re not married yet’ I do not ignore you, I give you all the attention .
You don’t give me any attention.. I want you Nathan please, I am jealous of my sister and your brother.. their relationship is what I wish for, I’ve been alone since I came here.. I know I am your queen but you have to treat me like one.
What do you want now? Nathan asked.
You want to know? Susan responded going close to Nathan
Yes…
She went closer and gave him a kiss, she didn’t stop.
It was already time to go do my duty when I opened the door and saw them in the act..
I was about going back when Nathan asked me to do what I came for.
I greeted them both and the next thing I heard was.
You saw us kissing you should have left immediately..
I asked her to do her job Susan.
But Nathan, I want her to leave, I need more of that I want to spend some time with you.
Susan can you just stop and let Naomi do what she came here for??
Soo finally he took my advice, I said to myself..I quickly finished cleaning and left so they could continue whatever they want..
Nathan came around and wanted to talk to me.
I’m sorry for what happened earlier today in my room with princess Susan
Your majesty, I’m soory but you do not need to apologize for anything, she’s your queen, and I have no problem with it.. I am glad both of you are doing what you’re supposed to do..
I know, but I feel guilty..I’m sorry..I’ll see you in the morning..
Nathan didn’t stop coming to me all the time.
He always wants to be around me making me uncomfortable, and increasing the hate Susan have for me.
I overheard him telling his mum to ask Susan and his sister to leave..
They’ve overstayed mum.. I am tired of hearing about everything..it’s like I’m being forced to do something I am not supposed to do..
Nathan, Susan is your wife and you will marry her.. they’re leaving tomorrow. And they’ll be coming back
Days later I got a message from the Queen,
Naomi, you have to leave immediately, your aunt is seriously ill again, if this continues you’ll have to stop working here so you can take care of her properly.
I rushed back home,
I lied about you being sick now you’re truly sick.. what happened aunt?
I do not know Naomi.. thanks for coming…. Where’s kelvin?
He didn’t know I left the palace , he’ll find out soon..
Where’s Naomi Mrs celina?
She left the palace, her aunt is ill.
Again? What about her parents?
They died during the war, you remember the strongest man in the palace and his wife was the Queens favorite cook.
I remember them… you mean she lost both parents that same day?
Yes my prince, her aunt raised her…
Was that why she refused to talk about it when I asked her if she witnessed the war?
I think so..
Can you take me to her??
I can’t my prince… I still have lots of things to put in order
Please, just give me directions..
Mrs celina gave Nathan’s directions to my place..
I heard a knock on my door.
Naomi, someone is at the door… I think it’s kelvin..come open the door.
I came out, opened the door and saw Prince Nathan.
Since you’ve refused to inform me whenever you’re leaving, I think it’s best I visit you.
Who’s there Naomi.
It’s the kings son prince Nathan.
It is an honor.. Naomi let him in..
Oh! I’m sorry , please come in..
Episode 7
I couldn’t help but wonder why Nathan came to visit, who told him where I live? How did he locate here? These are the questions I asked myself.
Your highness, you should have informed us you were coming, I would have prepared something to welcome you. My aunt said.
I’m fine, I just came to see if Naomi is alright and you too, I was told you were ill..
Yeah, I cannot thank the queen for allowing Naomi come around..
I was focused on other things..
How’s princess Susan? Your brother, ? Everyone on the palace., especially your family
They’re fine.
I wasn’t expecting you my prince. I said.
I wasn’t expecting you to leave the palace again too.
Naomi…. You can stay and care for your aunt, I’ll be visiting till she’s fully recovered.. I think I have to go now..
I opened the door for him, he left.
Why didn’t you say anything to him? My aunt asked.
I didn’t know what to say to him, I wasn’t happy he came, I also do not like the way he monitors me, the moment I leave the palace he’ll start looking for me.
The Prince has another intention Naomi.. you really have to be careful..
If what I am suspecting is true, then you have to be careful, Kelvin cannot fight The Prince.
I don’t understand, what are you suspecting??
Why is he always looking for you?
I feel it his duty to always know if we’re alright or not, they’re superior right? And they should are about their people. So it’s a normal thing to do..
You still do not understand Naomi.. well, I think you have to go back to the palace.
Why?
Nathan will keep coming back to see you and it will get to the queen and kings ears, I’ll be monitored and you’ll loose your job, don’t worry I am fine now..I can take care of myself.
I hope it’s not what I am thinking. A prince doesn’t just visit people except it is of importance.
I packed my bag the next day and went back to the palace…
Why are you back soo soon? The king asked.
My aunt is getting better..Thank you my king.
I went to my room and saw Mrs Celine.
Did Nathan visit you?? She asked.
Yes, he did.
I gave him your address, I’m sorry I did it without your consent, he was worried Naomi..
I couldn’t bare to see him looking like that so I had to give him your address..
It’s okay, that’s not really my problem now..
But why is Nathan into you? Princes Susan left and he’s suppose to be looking out for her, but No, instead you’re his problem
I’m his maid and I work for his parents and also him, I feel he wants to make sure I am alright.. I just need to go tell him that I am back before he goes back to my aunts place..
I’m back your highness… I said to Nathan.
I am already preparing to come see you and your aunt… how’s she?
She’s fine..
I finished cleaning, went back to the kitchen.
Breakfast was ready and everyone was present except Prince Henry..
Naomi, go and call Prince Henry for me.. the queen said.
I got to Prince Henry’s room, i knocked, no response., I pushed the door a little and it opened..
I went in and didn’t see him, I wanted to call out his name but I didn’t, I heard some soft sounds coming out from his bathroom, I thought someone was stuck in the bathroom, I rushed in and saw and prince Henry making out with one of my colleague Sharon in his bathroom.
I quickly locked the door and walked very fast out from the room.
Where’s Henry Naomi? The king asked.
I didn’t see him in his room my king.. I responded
What? I just left his room and I saw Henry.. Nathan said
I’m not lying your highness, I didn’t see Prince Henry.
Follow me, let’s go together. Nathan said.
I followed him there he went him and saw what I saw for himself..
Breakfast is served Henry.. you’re needed.. Nathan said to him.
Tell mum and dad that I am coming.. Henry responded.
What if our Father sees you Henry?? Nathan asked.
Prince Henry got dressed, came out and said.
Naomi, you did not see anything.. did you?
No, I didn’t your highness..
I went back to the kitchen, moments later Sharon came.. she wanted to talk to me but I wasn’t ready to hear cause it wasn’t my business
Naomi, can you keep it a secret??? Sharan asked.
Keep what a secret??
What you saw in the prince room, it wasn’t my intention, he made me do it… I couldn’t reject the Future King.. I know he’s not going to marry me but I just needed to do it cause he asked..
Prince Henry hates No for an answer..
Three days later, in the evening I finished my normal chores and headed to Nathan’s room..
On my way I met Prince Henry, he asked me to follow him, I followed him to his room where he was asking me to lay on the bed..
I’ve had my eyes on you Naomi, I just want us to keep this a secret..
He Locked the door and I was a bit tensed..
He removed his shirt and asked me to remove mine,
I can’t do this Prince Henry, please just let me go. I won’t tell anyone..
No woman can say No to me Naomi, I’ve been doing this and none has rejected me, you’re just a commoner, a maid.. I won’t ask you again, remove your clothes and lay on the bed..
I knelt down and was pleading..
Where’s Naomi? Nathan asked Mrs celina.
She left to your room few minutes ago.. Sharon said.
You mean she’s not there? Juliet asked.
I haven’t seen her.. Mrs celina said.
Nathan decided to go straight to Henry’s room..
He opens the door it was locked….
He managed to open it with a master key and the door opened.
My face was already swollen as we’ve been struggling..
Do you realize you’re the future king? Is what what you want to do to all the maidens here cause you have the right to?
Forcing someone into bed against their will is evil Henry.. taking advantage of every female that works for you and our parents is not right.
Go to your room Naomi..Go freshen up.. I’ll see you later.
I ran to my room with tears in my eyes.. I was lucky I didn’t meet any of my colleagues..
I stayed up in my room crying as much as I could when Nathan opened my door and asked me to follow him..
I went with him to his room.. he asked me to sit down handling me a lil towel to clean up my tears..
I warned you to stay away from Prince Henry, I told you countless times and made it known to you that you were assigned to me for a reason.. you could have been hurt or even raped had it been I didn’t come quickly..
Why did you follow him to his room ? Were you not supposed to come clean my room and go to bed??
What you saw the other day is enough reason for you to totally avoid Prince Henry.. you’re trying to be too stubborn, you leave without informing me, Naomi you disrespect me.
What do you expect me to do? To disrespect your elder brother so he can punish me for no reason??
I should avoid your brother? Is this what you do too?
Naomi, No.. it’s not what I do..I’m only trying to protect you.
Trying to protect me when all you do is monitor me and remind me how my duty is to serve you?
Naomi, you’re getting it all wrong, I know you’ve been through a lot growing up, I understand your pain… I’ve been trying hard to make you comfortable around me.
I am comfortable around you Prince Nathan, why I do not understand is you trying to put the blame on me..
You really need to stop crying Naomi..
I can’t, if my parents were here do you think I’d be here, I know I love to be here but it is not what I thought it is..it has always be “Do whatever the royal family wants you to do even if it’s against our will”.
Cause we’re your subjects we’re not allowed to make our own decision..
I’m sorry for your lost Naomi.. I know how hard it is for you.
You do not need to be sorry Your highness, They we’re doing their job, They we’re trying to protect your family first before protecting themselves and their children, Our lives means nothing to you or your parents..
Don’t tell me you’re sorry cause you do not know how it feels and you were taken out from here..
Naomiiiiiii. Just shut up, you have no idea what I’ve been through too.. I am sorry you lost your parents, It is not my fault I am royalty, I didn’t ask for this life..do not want to talk about this.. stay away from my brothers affairs.. It’s An Order.. No matter the pressure you are in ‘Stay away from the Prince Henry..
You’re my maid and you should know your place..
I can be soo quite and also be Aggresive.. I am telling you ,so you have to be careful dealing with me or Henry..
What if he…
Naomi, you’re being difficult and it’s beginning to get me paranoid.. you know what? I do not want to see you out from your room tomorow. You are to remain in your room till I am calm.. Now Leave..
I went back to my room…Prince Nathan isn’t as calm as I thought.
Episode 8
I stayed in my room without coming out, I thought of quiting, since Nathan arrived it has been from one trouble to the other.
Naomi, what are you still doing inside? Have you forgotten we have things to put in place today? The king and his wife are up already and they’re expecting the seer.
It’s already up to a month? Prince Nathan asked me to stay indoor till he is calm.. I can’t come out, I’ll be here today..
What did you do?
I didn’t tidy up his room..
It’s fine, I’ll just finish up everything with Mrs celina and Sharon. The table is already set for breakfast. Juliet said
Is prince Nathan there already?
Yea, he woke up soo early today.. and he doesn’t look happy.. see you later let me go dish out the food
Juliet, what is this? Who prepared this food? This isn’t what I asked for?? The king said.
I and Mrs celina prepared it your highness..
There’s nothing wrong with the food Father. Nathan said.
Where’s Naomi? Isn’t she supposed to be here serving too? It’s her turn to prepare breakfast, where’s she? The queen asked
Juliet,where’s Naomi? Has she left to meet her aunt again??
No my Queen. Shee…..
I asked her to stay indoor mum. Nathan responded
Why? The king asked.
I have my reasons for that..
On whose order?
Mine father.. my order.
Call me Naomi Juliet.. the king said.
Juliet don’t call Naomi. Go back to your duty post.. Naomi is not coming out today till I say so and no one is asking her to come out.
Nathan, what has come over you? Are you talking to your father the king in that manner?? The queen said in anger
I said Naomi stays till I want her out.. and so be it.. I’m done eating.
Nathan, stop acting like the next heir to the throne, we all know what you’re trying to do, you’re not the next king. Henry said.
I am not dragging the throne with you Henry, I do not even need it, what should I do with it? It belongs to you and you know I’ve never been interested in being a king with a queen I am being forced to marry.. I am just saying Naomi is not coming out..
There are limit to some things.. I just realized it. And Henry please do not step on my nerves..let everything slide.
What’s wrong with Nathan? The queen asked.
He has anger issues mom. He acts like he has been traumatized before.. he is worse, I realized it when we grew up together, Nathan is possessed.. Henry said.
Few moments later, the seee arrived.. she refused to eat, she asked everyone to be present, everyone in the palace were present including Kelvin.
She began to do her incantations and pleading to the spirits and ancestors for answers and solutions..
One person is remaining… who’s the person??
Naomi is the only person not here., The queen said.
Call her.. said the seer bringing out her mirror.
She’s not coming out. Nathan said.
If the sprites cannot reveal to you the issues and the solution to things you said last month, then I think my father should sort for another seer.. Naomi is not royalty and I said she will not come out today on anyones order..
Do whatever you want, do your job without Naomi coming out.
Nathan you’re not the king, you have no authority, dad should speak or me. Henry said.
I am not interested in the throne Henry..
My king, I already know this will happen, the seer said.
What else did you see? The king asked.
Let me tell you some of the things I saw.
War, blood stains,love,Death.,
Tell the rest workers to leave… tell your sons to leave too. Something has been changed.
What have you seen again??
Nathan is the New king. Not Henry.. And he will be crowned before you’ll die..
Nathan can’t be the king, Henry is my first son.. our traditions and customs has been that way for a very long time..
I am surprised as you..
Henry will kill Nathan.. Nathan is not interested in the throne..
Please consult them again, Nathan is not the king..
Henry should not know about this yet till I have answers to what is happening and why is Henry’s destiny changing..
I’ll be back again..
What about the woman you saw the last time?? The king asked.
I no longer see her my king.. I heard voices.. let me leave and come back..
Nathan, do not ever repeat what you did today, do you hear me??
I heard you mum..
Release Naomi..I need her to make lunch.
Call Mrs celina or the other maidens, I’m going for a ride..
In the evening Nathan came to my room, I was already sleeping when he opened my door, he sat there for few minutes watching me sleep,
Naomi’ Naomi! I heard Kelvin’s voice.
I opened my eyes and saw Nathan,, few seconds later Kelvin opened my door.. with fear he left..
How was your break? Nathan asked me.
I was silent…
Naomi, how was your break?? You want more??
No.. 😢
I miss staring at you.. Nathan said.
I’ll be going to see your aunt tomorrow morning… I’d like you to come with me.. I want to ask her how she managed to cope with you..
Please prince Nathan. Don’t do this.. I don’t want to break her heart.. why are you torturing me now?
We’re two different people Naomi.. what I feel for you is greater than my title.
I don’t understand..what do you mean your highness.
I’ll tell you later.. why was he here?
Who?
Kelvin..
Episode 9
I ran into Kelvin when I was going to get some herbs for the queen.
What was Prince Nathan doing in your room Naomi? Kelvin asked.
Kelvin, he was doing nothing in my room.. he came to relieve me of my punishment.
Why did he punish you? What did you do??
I don’t know what I did Kelvin..
The prince do not punish someone for nothing, Naomi what is going on? Do you know how he stood his ground saying you will not come out even when the seer said you should be called?? What’s going on between you and Nathan Naomi, cause I noticed it has always been you…
Kelvin, you have to trust me and believe me.. I am not doing anything.
Then tell me the truth why did he punish you.
Fine! Prince Henry wanted to rape me, Nathan rescued me and he warned me to stay away from his brother, I talked back at him and he asked me to stay indoor till he is ready to let me out.
Kelvin, Prince Henry has been sleeping with the maids.. I’m sorry I didn’t inform you.
What?? You mean Prince Henry wanted to touch you??
Yes, I was lucky.. it would have been a different story.
What makes you think Prince Nathan is not trying to get to you sexually??
He is not…
Be careful Naomi, you’re dealing With royalty, they can achieve anything they want and no one will question them, I don’t want any man to make advances at you..
Kelvin, please….. I miss you, let’s not argue anymore.
I miss you too. I just felt you’ve forgotten about me.
I can’t forget about you, I think of you everyday Kelvin..
Naomi! Don’t turn… Prince Nathan is staring at us.. if you turn he’ll suspect something
Nathan is like a bone in my throat..
Let’s meet tonight , I want us to be together for some minutes..I want to kiss you again..
Same spot, same time.. see ya later. The Queen might be looking for me.. I love you
See you later…
I turned around and walked towards Nathan.. I greeted him and passed him quickly
Naomi, what did you do that made my son ask you not to come out?? The queen asked
My queen. I forgot to clean his room up… I’ve been going late for some time now.
Is that enough reason for Nathan to punish you??
Obviously my queen.
You may leave now…
Sigh*. I left.
Nathan, because Naomi did not sweep your room is the reason why you lock her up?
Is that what she told you mum??
Is she lying??
No, She’s not mother…She’s not lying…
This should be the last time I’ll hear any complain about Naomi Nathan…
No more punishment, Naomi is of great importance here, her late parents worked here and her mother was my favorite cook..
Naomi cooks just like her mum and she perfectly and neatly do her duties..
I haven’t seen your sister today, where’s my princess?
She took a stroll outside.. I’ll see you later mum.
Why did you lie to my mother Naomi?
My prince, I don’t understand, what have I done again?
You told her I punished you cause you forgot to clean up my room..
Prince Nathan, what were you expecting me say? You wanted me to tell the Queen we got into an argument that led to my punishment cause Prince Henry wanted to rape me??I can’t do it..
Just be careful next time Naomi..And again why is kelvin always following you?? I see the way he looks at you, recently he came to your room, few minutes ago you were talking with him. What’s going on between you two?
Nothing is going on.. Kelvin is my friend and my colleague your highness..
Oh, so he is the only male friend you have in this palace?
Your highness, I’ve known Kelvin for a long time now.
I do not like the way he is always around you, I feel you’re dating him, and I do not want to see you around kelvin again..
Your highness kelvin is my friend and I can’t stay away from him, I am sorry to say this but I have the right to be friends with whoso ever I wish to be friends with…
You can’t always tell me what to do cause you have the authority to do so.. I am sorry but I can’t.. do not take away my freedom please Prince Nathan…
Naomi, it’s an Order..
Why are you doing this to me? I said with tears rolling down my cheek..
What have I done to you? I asked prince Nathan.
You’ve done everything to Naomi, i never wanted to say this now but I think I’ll just tell you.. I cannot control my emotions or the way I feel towards you.. I Love You Naomi, This is me not minding if I am the Prince or not.. I am going crazy for you
I knew you were going to be mine the first day I arrived, I asked the spirits for a sign and you were the sign, you were not assigned to me by mistake.. I Love you Naomi and you know that I do.
Prince Nathan are you drunk? Are you alright? I asked him
I am not drunk Naomi..
This is exactly what your brothe prince Henry does to sleep with all the maids.. you really want to take advantage of me cause prince Henry is doing same?
I am not Prince Henry, I am Nathan and I meant every word I’ve said to you..
Everyone in this place is making my life difficult, Prince Nathan please, let me just be your maid, do not make life more difficult for me. Give the love to princess Susan.
All you’ve said will not work, you’re royalty and you can’t bypass tradition.. I don’t love you.. you have a wife, a princess you’re betrothed to..
I don’t care about tradition, princess susan is not my wife..
My Prince allow me live my life peacefully in the palace please..
Do you love me?
No. I am sorry..
Do you love someone? Kelvin?
No.. I don’t love anyone..
I’m sorry Naomi, I shouldn’t have said what I said..
I have to go now your highness..
I went to my room looked at the clouds ☁️ and realized kelvin has been waiting for me
I ran to where he is.
I’m sorry Kelvin.
Why are you shivering? Why are you crying Naomi?
Am i crying?
Yes you are, what’s going on?
I love you kelvin, just kiss me and hold me..
Can you tell me what’s going on?
I’m fine, I’m just happy to see you and be with you again..
I kissed him…
I want more Kelvin.
Naomi, calm down, not here..
We continued kissing and touching ourselves
Where’s Naomi? Nathan asked Mrs celina
Prince Nathan she stepped out.
By this time? She’s outside?
Yes.. she’ll be back..
Juliet call me Kelvin.
5minutes later..
My prince, I was told Kelvin stepped out..Juliet said
It’s alright, I’ll go look for Naomi and Kelvin myself..
Episode 10
I think you have to leave now Naomi.. It’s not safe here.
But kelvin, no one is coming.
I know, I’m just having this weird feeling.. I love you. I’ll see you in the morning.
Kelvin don’t go now please, everyone is already at sleep.
Naomi.. I’ll see you in the morning.
Kelvin left, I was already going back to my room when I saw Prince Nathan..
What are you doing outside by this time? He asked
I stepped out, I wanted to take a walk..
And kelvin, where’s he?
I have no idea where kelvin is, I haven’t seen him..
It’s okay, just go back inside..
Thank you..
I went back inside, I was already scared for kelvin, I didn’t want anything to happen to him..
I was restless as I couldn’t sleep.. I thought of the thugs Nathan said to me, I couldn’t tell if he was serious or joking, Maybe it is his own way of trying to get to me since Prince Henry didn’t succeed.
I was lost in thought as I slept off.
In the morning when I woke up, I was called by the queen to weave her hair…
On my way to meet her i over heard she and the king discussing about Nathan..I paused to listen to what they have to say..
I can’t stop thinking of what that seer said, Nathan can’t be the future king.. the queen said.
Henry is my first child and my first son, I wonder why he wasn’t chosen, keeping this a secret is not an easy task… I just hope she comes back and tell us Henry is the chosen one and the future king.. The king responded.
Nathan is not interested in the throne.. he doesn’t take anything serious, even his wife to be princess Susan is going through pains, since she left the palace Nathan hasn’t visited or even talk about her..
Nathan will marry susan so he can be crowned king then the spirits will have no choice than to accept Henry as he future king.. this tradition has been going on for years, it will not change in my time. The king said.
In other to avoid the war, death, and others then we must act fast..
Who do you think has the prophecy of “Love”
It maybe Henry, or Nathan loving Susan. It’s about them..
Henry already love his wife.. Nathan doesn’t, so maybe it’s Nathan accepting Susan as his queen..
The blood stains? I am trying to figure it out..
Maybe it’s part of the war..
Nathan and Henry must not know what the seer said till we find a solution to what she said,
She said she’ll be coming back soon, probably everything she said will change.
I was tired of hearing what they were saying, I knocked on her door and told her I was ready to weave her hair before doing any chores.
She looked at me, and said, Naomi, how are you? And how long have you been outside.
I’m fine my queen, I just came..
Are you sure?
Yes, your highness 👸
Go ahead and weave my hair..
I was weaving her hair when Henry came.
I wanted to ask you for something mother.
I want Naomi to be my personal maid. Nathan can have Juliet, Sharon or others.
Why Naomi? She asked.
She’s hardworking and Nathan’s room is always soo clean.. please mum..
I’ll talk to Nathan about it..
You don’t have to talk to Nathan about it, you’re the Queen and I am your first seed, the heir to the throne, just approve it.
Naomi call me Nathan..
Nathan, Your brother said he needs Naomi as his personal maid.. what do you Think?
Think? You should ask Naomi if she wants to be his personal maid.. I have no issues with it..it’s Naomi’s choice to make not mine.
Naomi… Would you like to change your job? Would you like to still remain with Nathan or switch to Henry?
Your majesty,! I’ll still prefer to be Prince Nathan’s personal maid..
It’s okay, I still want you to assist Juliet to clean up Henry’s room.. your duty has been doubled… you can’t tell me who you want.
You’re just a maid and you do not have a choice Naomi.. anything I or Prince Henry says is final.. even if Nathan object to it, Henry is the future king and you cannot say No to him.
But you asked her to choose mum. Nathan said.
I know I asked her to choose, I was testing her.. I can withdraw her room cleaning your room Nathan, how dare she reject Henry?
Naomi works for you and Henry now.. Nathan get ready to pay princess Susan a visit.
It’s fine mum..
I was speechless, Henry is trying another strategy to take me to bed.. I finished weaving the queens hair.. went to Nathan’s room, I was becoming scared of Nathan…
He didn’t react as usual..
Naomi, I wanted to talk to you about last night.
I’m sorry for everything I said to you, I know you’re judging me base on what my brother Henry tried to do to you,, I’ll never do that to you.. I love you still..
Permit me to visit my aunt tomorrow prince Nathan.. I miss her and I’d like to see her.
I am trying to talk to you and you’re diverting it? Well, you have my permission you can go..
I folded his clothes, dressed his royal bed before heading to Prince Henry’s room.
I was already panicking, scared of what might happen to me in Henry’s room, I arrived shortly, I began to dust his chairs,
Nathan arrived with Sharon and Juliet.
Assist Naomi clean up my brothers room.. and make sure three of you leave together. Nathan said.
I know what you’re tryin to do Nathan, I can still have my way if I want to, Prince Henry said.
Not while I am here. Nathan said.
Naomi is just a maid, she’s of no great importance and it will be an honor for her to do what I am asking her to do.
Naomi is a maid as you’ve said, She’s Prince Nathan’s maid…and looking out for her is my duty…you should start focusing on your duty and not your interest…As the future king, your duty is to put the well-being of your people at heart first..Nathan said.
Nathan, I’ll let today pass.. Prince Henry said.
I’ll be coming with Naomi to clean up your room King Henry. Nathan said.
Hurry up with the cleaning Naomi..
The cleaning was easy as I was at peace..
I wanted to take permission from the queen also before leaving. I was already dressed to meet with her when I heard a knock on my door..It was kelvin.
Your aunt is here to see you. He said.
Oh! I was already preparing to go see her.
And you didn’t tell me Naomi.
Kelvin I am trying my best not to make Prince Nathan notice we are dating..
Your aunt is outside waiting for you..
Why are you acting soo cold kelvin?
Naomi, the better prince Nathan knows we’re dating the better for us, I heard you’ve been assigned to prince Henry, prince Henry almost raped you and you feel he will not attempt it again??
Kelvin. Prince Nathan is protecting me from him…
Prince Nathan is protecting you from him cause he wants to have you first, I am a man and I know how these things play..
Let’s talk about this later kelvin..
I met my aunt, she wasn’t allowed in by the Queen, so we sat under a tree outside the palace.
Naomi, I had a dream about you, How’s Nathan and Kelvin?
Aunt, it’s been hell here, prince Henry almost raped me, Prince Nathan saved me twice and he told me he loves ne, Kelvin is giving me attitude
You mean prince Henry almost raped you!?
Yeah, I don’t want to talk about it.
Prince nathan is inlove with you Naomi..
But why?
He is protecting you from the future king, that’s love..
How?
He is the prince and you’re just a maid, he loves you.. I am scared for kelvin..
How do I handle Nathan and Kelvin?
Do you love him?
Noo, I don’t.. I mean why should I??
Naomi. Naomi.. My dream is happening.. be careful..
What is your dream all about? Everyone is dreaming of me why?
Cause you will not be able to handle what will befall you..
Aunt please. I am sacred 😢Nathan is possessive..
Have you ever dreamt of him?
Yes.. countless times.. aunt, Nathan is the future king but he doesn’t know yet, his parents are hiding.
Shhh.. I know Naomi..
How did you know??
When your mother was alive, a seer told her..
Take me to the seer aunt..
Not today… be careful…
Is there something else you know that you’re not telling me?? I feel there’s more..
Naomi.. do not start what you cannot finish.. my regards to Nathan.. bye..
My aunt left and I was still thinking why Nathan told me he loved me..and why my aunt is hiding so many things from me.
Where’s your aunt Naomi? I heard she came..Nathan said.
She’s gone.
Why? Why didn’t you tell me she came? I wanted to see her also…
I’m sorry your highness, she was in a hurry..
Dinner is served prince Nathan…The king and the Queen Wants you to join the table.
Prince Nathan, came close to me, touched my hair and said.
You look worried.. what’s wrong?
Nothing your highness, I am fine..
I love you Naomi.
Your highness please, I do no want to be uncomfortable around you as I am with Prince Henry..
I…. That was how Nathan shut me up with a kiss..
I removed my lips and wanted to talk
My prince you don’t…
Don’t say anything Naomi.. shutup**
he grabbed my lips again and kissed me for two minutes..
He removed his lips and said “Tell the King and the Queen that I am not hungry, Tell them I just ate”
