His Personal Maid — Chapter 15

The threat of the King made things to calm down a little bit. Both queens had stopped glaring at each other and both faced the king, ready to hear their punishment for publicly disgracing themselves.

Desire had only later on realized that Sylvester had arrived with the King and this was only when she was able to lift her head up once she heard his voice. Their eyes met and she quickly looked away not wanting to melt under his intense gaze.

She wanted to stop lusting after her master but no matter how many times she cautioned herself, she still couldn’t get to stop thinking about him even though she thinks she hates him.

“Can someone explain to me what happened here?” The King’s angry voice brought Desire out of her reverie and she lowered her head so much that her neck ached. She was in no position to say a word before the king.

“She started it, your favorite pet started it by bringing this lowlife into the dinning area meant for royals” The first queen said pointing at Desire.

“I requested for a private time alone in the dining area before it was granted. I didn’t know it'll end up with the Queen insulting my guest” Naomi replied.

“Sylvester, can you give me the permission to talk privately with your woman in the throne room?”

Sylvester was surprised at the king’s request and he hesitated for a moment not knowing what the king’s real intentions were.

Desire froze at a spot not wishing to be alone with the king as she feared she could spill and tell the king they had lied to him.

“Do not worry Sylvester, I’ll make sure she returns to your chamber without a scratch” Sylvester nodded and gave the King the right to leave with Desire .

The King would’ve taken her if he wanted, forcefully or not but he respected Sylvester too much to treat his woman without respect.

“Both Queens can return to their chamber, I’ll call for you when needed” The King started walking towards the throne room while both fighting women walked out leaving Sylvester and Desire alone in the room.

Sylvester moved closer to her and ran a finger down her arm, getting Desire’s attention to the spot. She didn’t realize she had sustained an injury during the fury road both Queens had taken her on.

“Come back straight to my chambers once you’re done, understood?”

Desire nodded and walked after the king, but looked back once to see Sylvester retreating figure walking out of the building.

“My King” Desire bowed as she walked into the throne room, avoiding the mistake of making eye contact with the King.

“Please sit, little one” The king gestured for her to sit but Desire refused.

“I do not have the right to sit in the presence of a great King like you. I’ll rather stand and listen to the words of greatness coming from your heart rather than sit and dine with you, your highness” Desure replied.

Her response satisfied the king, increasing his interest in the strange girl who had managed to get the attention of his most loyal subject and his little brother.

“I insist, sit with me”

If it had been Sylvester, Desire would have found it easier to argue with me but knowing the king was a ruthless man, Desire sat quickly while she was still being respected.

“I would like to know more about you, little one but that’ll definitely be on another day as the reason why you’re here differs from the one I would’ve loved to pursue” The King started.

“What happened over there, today? What caused the fight between my Queens? I want to hear the truth from you” The King requested.

Desire was torn between telling the King the truth or telling him another lie. She was torn between supporting Queen Naomi or going against Queen Beibei.

Supporting Queen Naomi might invoke the wrath of the first Queen.

She knew the truth could cause a problem in the royal household while a lie could also fuel the hatred that was burning already.

“My King, I wish to tell you the truth but then, this truth might cause a problem in the royal household and I do not wish to be the center of that problem, my king. But from what I saw today show that there’s no love between both queens and each one of them is ready to kill the other or maybe hurt one another. Please forgive me that I’m not able to help any further, my king” Desure stood from her seat and bowed so low the king could view her back.

“Stand straight, little one. You have done well, you can go back to Sylvester, he’ll probably be waiting for you”

Desire thanked the King and left the throne room almost immediately. She got out of the building and started walking towards the Prime minister's chamber.

She was about to step out when she saw Sylvester. He was resting against the wall of the building closest to the throne room with his arms crossed against his chest. Once he spotted a Desire, he started walking towards her the same way she walked towards him.

“How was it?”

“He didn’t ask anything about us. Maybe he isn’t suspicious of anything” Desure replied.

“What happened there?” Sylvester asked and Desire narrated the entire story from the moment the two Queens started arguing to what her response has been to the king’s question.

Sylvester suddenly felt proud of his little dove and he patted her hair, and kept on telling her she did well as they both stood on a spot, under the sun, with Desire smiling widely at him, not scared of her master this time around.
