Tom's p.o.v
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Valarie asked seriously.
"Yes, your highness." I answered calmly.
"So do it right now before I end up changing my mind, also remember to address my son as duke Adrean. Under no circumstances should you let Grace know the truth and that's a direct order from the king." She said.
I slightly bowed and turned to walk away.
"Also, do report to me if anything out of the ordinary takes place." She said.
"I'll do just that your highness." I answered then walked out of the study.
"Gosh," I murmured under my breath while I approached the stairs.
Since yesterday Valarie looked busy. She had the royal tailor summoned, a few of the servants taken to the grand guest wing to attend to Grace and she made sure that mor
Grace's p.o.v"See, you look pretty like you were born to be a servant of this palace." The servant lady who I knew was Elliana said with a smile across her face."Thank you very much for your kind words." I answered politely then looked at myself carefully.I was in a black dress which had white lace at the end of my arms.I looked horrible!. Not even Henry's servants were dressed in such an ugly attire.But thinking about it, it was okay. I was here to work hard, not to look fancy."You are welcome." She answered then extended a soft black cloth to me."Use this to whip the dust from the tables, shelves, books, and chairs. Then this broom on the ground is used to sweep the floor. The bin next to it is where we put in the dirt." She said calmly as I got the
Paula's P.o.vI stood in front of my father the king who sat on his throne with a calm expression plastered on my face when in truth I was panicking on the inside."It's been finalized, your wedding to our neighboring kingdom will be in two days, I hope and believe you are happy with the arrangements I've made" father said loudly so his advisors could hear his authority lance through his voice."Yes my king, it's for the greater good of our people after all" I answered with my gaze stuck on the floor.I bowed then stood upright, I notice the happy smiles that came from all the advisors."You raised her well," one advisor said in admiration."Of course" father answered with pride."excuse me," I said then turned and walked out of the throne room.I found my ladies waiting for me at the doorway, when I walked past them
Paula's P.o.vI woke up with a slight headache and found my ladies ( servants ) looking at me quietly, I sat upright and cleared my throat, those days I used to wake up with their eyes on me I felt so uncomfortable, but now I was so used to it."Morning princess." They greeted together.I smiled happily, they were like my own 6 blood sisters."Isn't my hair a mess?" I asked while standing up, I moved and sat on a chair that was opposite my big mirror.Bridget got a brush and carefully started brushing my hair."My Princess aren't you nervous about tomorrow? You know you will be wedded to the king right?" The new servant asked."Cleo Know your place!" Lauren yelled at her angrily."What did I do? I was just asking politely, we can't all just pretend to be calm, we are about to take a journey to
Paula's p.o.vToday was one of the worst days of my life, immediately I took a bath, my ladies dressed me up, a servant came to inform me that my carriage was ready, I wanted father to see me off but he refused, he was busy with one of his concubines to even say a simple goodbye to his only daughter.I got in the carriage with Lauren while the others got in the other carriage, when the carriage began moving, I sighed sadly."My princess are you okay?" Lauren asked with concern."Yeah" I answered then leaned against the couch and closed my eyes. . . .I was woken up by the sound of loud trumpets, I quickly sat upright and found Lauren asleep, I looked outside the window, it was no longer morning but mid-evening.The carriage was moving slowly in the street where people were gathered and cheering, Lauren woke up and looked at me th
Paula's p.o.vWeddings were mostly a symbol of love and Union, but to me, it was a symbol of fulfillment, my people needed this kingdom's protection and guidance and that was all that mattered to me, even if it meant me hurting or marrying the worst man on earth."You look very beautiful princess," Lauren said as I looked at myself sadly.I wore a long white wedding dress which had diamonds on the front and spots of gold, giving it a royal breathtaking fit, a beautiful white long veil was covering my face up to my waist and my ladies wore beautiful light blue bearless dresses that went up to their feet."Let us go," I said as all my ladies covered themselves with dark blue veils.we walked out of the room quietly, each step I took my breathing was becoming laboured, I was scared and felt lonely.I gasped when I made a turn going towards the door and found fat
Paula's p.o.v"My queen please think this through, you shouldn't do this," Deby said as I sat upright and glared at her coldly, she quickly knelt down in fear and lowered her eyes to the ground."Then want should I do?, Tell me who that woman was, the bastard had guts to dance with her instead of me" I spat as my ladies gasped loudly."Please refrain from bad mouthing the king, despite you being the queen and his wife you can be hanged for that" Lauren said in concern."That lady you saw dancing with the king is called lady Grace" Amore answered as the door opened.When Henry walked in, my ladies quickly stood up and bowed in respect."leave us" he ordered.They quickly left the room without a second glance, I lazily stood up and picked my veil from the ground and put it back covering my face.Despite hating everythin
Paula's p.o.vEarly in the morning after a bath, I sat in front of my dressing mirror with Miriam combing my hair, while my other ladies were taking care of my room and choosing a worthy dress for me."Pardon me my queen, but you look happy this morning," Miriam said with a smile while she continued to comb my hair.I was more than happy, as much as I hated the stupid bastard's behavior, I wasn't going to let him ruin my mood."Well, what do you expect?, Today is a beautiful morning and we are in a new palace, you know how we have been raised alone in a locked up room, but today I'm a married woman and I'm free, I can go anywhere I want to," I said then stood up and looked at myself in the mirror.I wore a simple beautiful peach dress which showed off my curves, and my hair was nicely let down, in the afternoon I was suppose to change and put on another dress that the Ladies were
Paula's p.o.vToday I dressed up with one thing in mind, to get Henry's attention, I was so happy when jack came to me a few hours ago. Flashback"My queen?" Jack called outside my door.I quickly put on my veil and came out if my bedroom."Are you ok?" he asked Softly."Yes, why," I asked."You seem sad and yesterday some servants were gossiping on how they saw lady Grace leaving the king's chamber's immediately you walked in, I know it's none of my business but is everything ok?" he asked."I'm ok Jack, don't worry about me, everything is going perfectly fine" I answered while trying so hard to smile under my veil."Ok if you say so my queen, I came here to invite you and your ladies to
