Pregnant For The Royal Prince

SHE fell into the grips of the Prince, yes, it was the comforting and electrifying grip of the Prince.

How had she known? The person who just prevented her from falling was dressed in sparkling royal robes, and it wasn’t the King.

She remained still in his arms, her head resting on his chest. His scent and cologne filled her nostrils… hmm, she inhaled.

‘Are you crazy? You are on His Majesty, the Prince’, a voice told her and she instantly pulled out of his grip and stood straight, her face lowered to the ground.

“Are you alright?” The Prince asked again and she raised her head to look at him.

“Jeez!” Rina heard him exclaim.

“Huh?” She whispered, then looked away.

Raghav couldn’t believe what he was seeing, he just couldn’t believe it.

The lady who had fallen on his grips and standing before him right now, was the lady he had been searching for, all these weeks.

Wow! He was seeing her right before him, flesh and blood.

Rina slowly turned her gaze back to him and almost jumped out of her skin, was this finally the Prince? The long awaited Prince, every girl’s dream man, Vidya’s soon to be groom? Gosh!

Holy moly! He was damn hot looking, and dashingly handsome. Jeez! This one must have been created on a Sunday, after the day’s work, yes.

She just couldn’t believe it, she swallowed hard.

He slowly raised his right hand to her face, gently pushing away the tiny strands of her hair which partly covered her right eye.

What! She froze. The Prince was really… what? His hand was on her face, touching her hair. Holy moly!

She felt her stomach tightened, like butterflies in it, the mixed emotions she felt at the moment worsened it, scared… happy… afraid… in lo… no, she wasn’t in love.

“Are you the new maid?” He asked, bringing down his hands.

His voice sounded familiar, she thought. Well, people have the same voices, she shrugged.

“Ye… yes I am”, she stuttered, nodding.

He smiled and Rina swallowed hard, he was really looking handsome.

“You got employed when?”

“Huh? Um… just today”, she looked away.

“Today? Oh, wow! What is your name?”

“Rina… Rina Doween”, she replied, still looking downwards.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“I see. Rina?” He called and she turned to him.

“You aren’t alright, have you been to the nurse at the sick bay?” He asked.

Sick bay? Was there a sick bay in here? She wanted to ask, but held herself, she wasn’t going to disgrace herself, no, not before the Prince.

Besides the pain which she initially felt had suddenly vanished at the instant she bumped into him.

“Nope. But, my Prince, I’m fine”, she replied.

“Are you sure?”

She nodded, too scared to speak out.

“You need to go check up, go to the sick bay, it’s downstairs”, he explained.

Hold on? Why was he feeling so much concern for her? A maid? She was just a maid.

Besides she’s even heard that he doesn’t know any of the maids, except for Prag and one other, she didn’t know her. So she overheard.

“I… I will my Prince”, she replied.

“You can get along”, he said and walked away.

She stood rooted on the spot for some seconds, before realizing herself and walked away, turning back to look at him.

Raghav smiled all the way walking down to Prisha’s room. Wow, see how luck and fortune just smiled on him.

Well, he knew she never would be able to recognize him, he knew. He was so elated, he had just found the lady he’s been searching for.

? Kuru Kingdom ?

BAHWAN PALACE

Aarti sat on the small sized bed singing Alisha a lullaby, a book was in her hands.

The bed was covered in pink coloured sheets, two small pillows in pink casing were on different positions on the bed.

Aarti continued singing and soon she began hearing the rhythm of her breaths and she looked at her, little Alisha had already slept off.

She smiled and closed the book, dropped it on the bed then began tucking her daughter properly into the duvet, which was also pink in color.

Suddenly the door creaked open and she looked towards it, her husband came in, she smiled.

Prince Rudra came into the room and locked the door behind him. He stood for a moment glancing round the room, then his eyes darted towards Aarti, his beloved wife.

He walked up to her.

“Has my princess slept?” He asked.

“Yes baby, just now”, she replied, placing her (Alisha) head perfectly on the pillow.

“I see”, he nodded and looked away.

“How was your day?” She asked and got up, then gave him a tight hug.

He reciprocated, then kissed her on the lips.

“It was fine though, it’s just been ruined”, he said.

“Huh? What do you mean?” She sat back on the bed.

He sighed, splaying his right hand on his forehead.

“You caused this Aarti”, he looked at her.

Her eyes twitched in confusion.

“Me? How? I don’t even know what you are talking about”, she said.

“I don’t expect you to until I tell you”, he replied, shoving his hands into his suit trouser pocket.

“Please tell me, I am curious”, she said.

“You didn’t tell me you were going to Shimla kingdom to make trouble with Arya”.

“What!”, she got up.

“What do you mean, making trouble with Arya?” She asked.

“You said you wanted to take my daughter to see how her grandpa’s kingdom looked, you didn’t also tell me you were going on a mission”.

“You are still keeping me in the dark baby, make me understand you”, she demonstrated with her hands.

He sighed.

“What is with the letter you sent them?” He asked.

Aarti exhaled, looking away, hesitating to reply.

“I am talking to you Aarti”, he said.

“Well I am trying to protect my nephew, is there anything wrong with that?” She asked.

“Everything is wrong Aarti. Don’t you know that by doing that you are stepping on the toes of Arya, thereby putting my kingdom at risk, don’t you?”

“Does it really?” She asked.

“Alright, I just got a tip off that Arya is waging a feud against the Kuru kingdom”.

“What!” Her eyes widened in shock.

“How dare she?” She further asked.

“How dare she right? Aarti this kingdom is still under reign by my father, the King. I don’t want him fighting wars at the last moments of his life on earth, I don’t”, he said and walked away.

Aarti stood rooted on the spot thinking. How dare Arya wage a feud against them? How dare she?

She thought of what she was gonna do. She really needs to think up something to salvage the situation.

Then it hit her! She was gonna email Raghav and tell him about it, yes.

It’s been a long time since they talked though, but she was going to do it now, it was worth it.

She got up and left the room.

Prisha sat facing the mirror, primping up her hair she just finished brushing.

Wow, she still could not believe her savior was now in the palace with her, she was the new maid.

Jeez, she initially had thought she was an angel whom God just sent to save her out of her abductor that day, but seeing her now has displaced that thought.

The girl was a real human, she had just seen her life and blood. She couldn’t wait to tell big brother the news, she was elated.

Just then, her door opened and Raghav entered. She turned to him, he was smiling sheepishly.

Huh? First time she has seen big bro grinning from ear to ear that way, what has happened? She stood up.

“You wouldn’t believe what I just saw princess”, he said, closing the door behind and walking up to her.

“Me too big bro, I just saw something”, she smiled broadly.

He halted. Okay, this was getting somehow.

“Alright, who’s gonna shoot first?”

“You go”.

He sighed.

“The lady I told you about from the tourist site, well I found her”.

“The lady who saved me from the woods, I found her too”.

Huh!
