Doris swallowed the Hquid and made a face before she rummaged through her drawers. “I have to change and meet Prince William in less than a hour “Where are you going with him?” Kath leaned against the dresser and curiously watched as she pulled out a simple blue dress that didn’t require a corset. It wasn’t her usual uniform she reached for everyday. this one alnost made her feel Hke a normal girl when she wore it. “He… wants me to meet lady Katherine with him.” Beth gasped and gripped her hands. “He also wants me to go with him to the north.” Beth’s delighted expression fell immediately, “What? No he can’t make you go to the north! They’ll kill both of you there! Why on earth would he have you go with him?” “I–I think he wants me to help find who poisoned Melady.” Doris disappeared behind a tall curtain as she washed up and changed her dress. “Is that why he wants you to meet his foster mother, too?” Doris heard the bed creak as Beth

“Hin Ros mother…” Doris reputed silently lo herself. She’d heard Beth mention her before but she never taked about the entire story. Prince Witam had always seemed like a dark fairytale to Doris Now that she knew him a little bit, he was so much worse on the surface

Can’t you pretend you’re sick to get aut of it?” Reth asked, pulling Doris from her thoughts. “When are you leaving “I tried but he told the king himself that I was to 90 with him. He intends to leave tonight by

I know how you like your gossip.” A flash of hurt Crossed her features, Doris immediately regretted her words I would never gossip about you, Doris. I only want you to be safe and careful. I don’t know why he wants you to go with him, but I wish he didn’t. The north is no place for a girl like you-or anyone for that matter.” Doris let out a small breath and brushed her long hair before she pinned some of it back. It’d become a bit tangled from when she slept in his bed. The thoughts made her blush, Beth tilted her head to

As usual, Prince Willam were hint to his emotions but Deris still felt enbarassed of their conversation anyway. “Your majesty! I apologize, we must not have heard you.” “I’m sure.” His blue eyes looked almost annoyed when they met with Doris’s, she curtsiad. “I was just finishing up your majesty. Somy I kept vou.” Doris clasped her cloak over her shoulders and followed him out of the room with one last nervous glance to Beth. He walked a bit ahead of her part of her wondered if he didn’t want to be seen walking with a maid. Doris wiped her damp hands against her cloak as shie tried to kеер ip. She followed him outside of the palace and down the grand steps. A guard followed along with thein once they passed the garden. A small row of cottages were set behind the palace. Usually old lovers of mistresses were set to live out here-away from the prying eyes of everyone else. A lot of the people that

ended up in one of them never tried to show their faces inside the palace, usually they were too embarrassed or shamed to have been

thrown away by one of the royal members and couldn’t handle the gossip. Others simply liked the privacy. Nonetheless, they were all taken care of well enough and had a nice roof over their heads. Prince William stopped in front of one of the larger cottages and knocked on the door. After a moment, an older woman pulled it open and a smile immediately lit up her face when she saw Prince William. “Oh, William! I didn’t know you were coming today!” She pulled him into a hug. Doris watched as the prince gratefully returned it. She hadn’t really imagined him the type to want to hug anyone, he seemed too stiff and angry for that. “I would have made us some lunch if-oh hello.” Doris flushed when her attention landed on Doris. She smiled kindly and glanced up at Prince William “This is Doris, she’s one of the maids in the palace.” He answered. Doris curtsied and Lady Katherine laughed a little . “No need for that, my dear. I don’t think William has ever brought a girl to see me before! Please, come in.”

She’s a maid, mother.” Prince William’s face reddened a little as he let Doris walk in first. It was the only sign that he had any emotion at all for what was happening. “I wanted to see you before we leave to the north.” Lady Katherine froze for a moment before she turned back to him. “What do you mean you’re going to the north? Does your father know about this?” Prince William’s jaw tensed. “Yes. He says hi.” Lady Katherine scoffed and turned to pour tea in 1

pot.

“May I help?- Doris offered.

Laris writed until Prince William sit on one of the Douches before she teak the chair by the window. The one by the fireplace seemed to be favored by Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Lady Katherine placed the tray of tea and cookies on the small table in front of them, Prince William showed no interest in it so Doris poured a cup for

“What on earth are you going to the north for? And why are you taking this poor girl? Doris wished she could hide behind her cup, but she also wanted to know why. Prince William leaned back against the couch and looked around the room as if he were searching for something more interesting to focus on. “I have to find wha tried to poison Luna Queen, the herb that will used is only available on the blackmarket in the north. They think it was Ders who poisoned her, so I want her to come with me in case they try to throw her in jail again.” Despite his emotionless töne, his words almost warmed her. He wanted her to come because he wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be thrown in jail

Lady Katherine hummed to herself and set down her cup of tea. Her green eyes flickered between the both of them. It almost made Doris uncomfortable. “Has he told you about me?” Lady Katherine asked Doris “Oh! We don’t really have those sort of conversations, my lady.” Doris said quickly. She set down her tea cup. Lady Katherine’s eyebrows shot up in question “You’re bringing her to the north and she knows
