Chapter 36 I need her to come with me

Doris telt his warm breath Caress the back of her neck when she woke the next morning. His sum Wiewill draped across her, but no longer held her

STTM he did the night before. She silently wondered how she would get herself out of this bed withoutwakime the beast. She was positive the moment he remembered what happened last night, he wouldshove her out of his bed with disgust. He had a moment of something that felt like a sort of kindness, butit wasn’t something she tristed. Though, not once in the night had she woken from fear like she expectedto. She slept… peacefully. She was certain she would wake and realize it was all one big dream11 Asharp knock startled the prince awake. His sleepy

aze raked over her once before he pushed himself up and out of bed. Doris quickly rolled out of hissheets and straightened her clothes as best she could. It wasn’t odd for her to be found in his room sinceshe was serving him for the night, but it would be odd to be found in his bed. The last thing she neededwas more rumors about her intentions. with Prince William.. Doris hurried to the door while PrinceWilliam draped a morning cloak over his night clothes. She winced a little as the pain ignited after a fewsteps and opened the door. “Good morn—” Doris almost choked on her words when she saw the kinghimself standing on the other side of the door. Doris bowed her head low . “Good morning, yourhighness.”

“Father. He said. Daris Hiletely hulled the straightened herself and went to make his bed, what do lawethe pleasure of this early visit? King Charles lifted his chinas he stared at Prince William who had still notinvited him inside. He stepped in any way and close the daor behind himn. Doris wished she had wokenearlier, then perhaps she wouldn’t have been here when the king arrived. “I came to ask when you planto leave for the north.” “I hape to be gone by nightfall” Prince William said as he leaned against themantle of the fireplace across from his father: If Prince William wasn’t so pompaus, she would haveadmired how handsome he looked fresh out of bed. A part of her started to crave the small glimpses

where he looked a little rogue. His hair was a mess and his clothes were wrinkled from sleep, she felt herface heat as she tore her gaze away from him before she started to notice the lines of his muscles again.Doris quickly busied herself by preparing tea for the two royals. “You don’t have to do this, 501. It’s notsafe to travel to the north with your title. You know how desperate the rogue packs would be to get theirhands on you.” Prince William scoffed. “You think Luni Queen will stop trying to pin the blame oneveryone she sees if I don’t? Clearly Martin and Jack are sale from her accusations, she’d never pin theblame on her own sons. Have you thought about Daniel and I? I heard Prince Jack was asking around toknow if I had anything to do with the poisoning! And not to mention what he did to Doris”

Prince William stopped short, his gaze flicicered over to Doris and hardened the second she looked athim. Doris quickly looked away when King Charles tumed his own curious gaze towards her. Why wouldhe bother bring up what Jack did to her? She supposed it only further proved what a monster PrinceJack was, but she doubted the king cared what had happened to her. “IF Jack was willing to torture -naidfor false information because Luna asked him to, who knows what else he will do to get an answer.”Doris could already tell Prince William’s mood was darkening from just his tone. King Charles statedhimself on one of Prince William’s velvet chairs. Doris took the opportunity to serve them both a cup oftea while it was still hot. “You shouldn’t travel alone, I’ll make sure some of the best guards accompanyyou.” Prince William sat across from King Charles and took a long sip of tea. King Charles nodded hishead in thanks to Doris when she carefully handed him his own. “You know, I think it would be a goodidea for Doris here to go back to the library full time. I heard some of the books miss her.” The king saidwith a slight smile towards Doris. She flushed under his kindness and smiled widely. Prince Williamslammed his cup on the table so hard, she was surprised it didn’t crack in half. “Since when do you carewhat a maid does?” Prince William’s features turned to stone as he stood. “Did Martin suggest she returnto the library?” King Charles watched him calmly as if he were just a child having a tantrum. “Would itmatter who did, son?” Prince William’s eyes flickered to Doris, she furrowed her brows when he frownedat her. “I need her to come with me to the north.”

Doris Wanglad she wasn’t holding anything because would have mil certainly dropped it fram his words.King Charles tilted his had slightly in question “Why are you requesting a maid join you on your damousjourney to the north?”

Prince Jack and Luna Queen still see that as guilty. 1 think it would only be right for her to have to comealong and prove her innocence.” Daris parted her lips to object, but no sound came out. She wouldn’tdare deny a prince in front of the king but her insides were screaming at her to say no. Why would hewant her to go? She would only slow the trip down, if anything. Doris cleared her throat, both men lookedat her. “I -Excuse me for speaking out of turm, but I don’t have any clothing suited for the show to visitthe marth = “Nonsense, we have plenty of clothing for you to use in the palace.” Prince William wavedaway her words and turned his attention back to his father

“We’re leaving tonight, so you can tell your son to replace a new pretty thing to stare at while he wastes hisdays in the library.” King Charles looked almost amused at his son’s words. She was sure he was usedto his disrespectful manner. Doris didn’t think she would ever be. Why would he even care if PrinceMartini had requested her back to the library? He probably only did so because he’d felt bad for all Dorishad been through these last few weeks. “I hope you know what you’re doing son.” King Charles said andstood with a grunt. Doris quickly cleared away the dishes just to give her hands something to do. “Willyou be here for dinner, at least?”

“That depends on how long our visit with my

mother will inice.

deflated a little as if he’d released the rest of the fight inside him as he watched his father go. It was oddto witness such intimate moments for the prince, it almost made her see him more like a person ratherthan just a nasty beast. Almost. King Charles stopped at the door and took one last long look at PrinceWilliam. “Stay safe, son.” Neither of them said anything when the door clicked shut. Doris was unsurewhat she should even say-what could she say? He just demanded Doris to join him on one of the mostdangerous trips anyone could think of taking and she wasn’t allowed to object. Prince William finallyturned to look at her. “What are you just standing there for? Go ready yourself and huity back before thehour is up.”
