The Royal Highness

Chapter 7 The wedding...

I shouted with all my strength, but it didn't show any impact on them, I screamed out again,

"stop it....!! he is right, I am pregnant" Now everyone was silent,

"That's not possible, you are lying, but I don't believe you. OK even if you are, who is the father of your kid?" he approached me and my heartbeat paced up,

" Do you think you can cheat me?" I was frightened on seeing him near me, that every hair on my skin stood up to the threat,

I leaned back to avoid his warm poisonous breath falling on my face,

he smirked with one of his eyebrows frowning,

"You do have some ideas up your sleeves, Princess, hope your friend is fine"

it was him, he caused the accident, my body started shivering, I got a panic attack, I could barely think of another way to fulfill my escape, but who would stand against a monster like him, only someone with more strength or maybe someone with more guts, I pushed him aside and ran out of the hall desperately to look for the one who can complete this activity with me, Louis,

I ran to the backyard, to look for him, but he was lying on the branch of the tree, I ran to him, and dragged him along with me,

I know this step may have a counter-effect, but if that can stop me from marrying that devil, I am fine with it,

I went straight to Charles,

"Your Highness, he is the one I love and I want to marry him, he is the father of my baby" My hands were still shivering, I couldn't think straight, but this time that monster seemed to be displeased, maybe because he wasn't able to get what he wants or maybe some other reasons...

Charles dragged Louis out to explain, but Jameson was reluctant to believe in what I just said, I don't know what to do. how do make them believe?

But those words coming out of Louis's mouth changed everything,

"Your Highness, what is done is done, I love her and everyone has the right to choose his or right one,"

when he let it out, I don't know why but I was relieved as if he was telling me that, I would take care of everything now,

I stood there silently for a while, but Jameson was restless, all his games, his plans, his efforts gone in vain,

"Princess Amber, how do you want us to believe that you are in love with this dumb, it's impossible, I don't buy it" he frowned his eyebrows and came near to me, I was shivering again, it was really hard for me to behave normally under such circumstances,

But then suddenly Louis pulled me near and kissed me all of a sudden, my panic attack subsided, and I was normal, is this another way to give shock for the treatment for panic attacks?

he smelt awful..!! but I couldn't separate him, he tasted bitter but I liked it, why?

I closed my eyes, I didn't notice people staring at us, it was my first kiss, it was like a current passing through my body, is this how it feels when we get kissed, he kissed for so long, then pulled me apart, I was mortified when I opened my eyes, he was glaring at me with a smirk on his face, I was displeased to face him, I yelled at him and ran to my room, my heart was pounding as if it was going to blast, I can't fall for a low birth slave like him, never...!

But for what just happened, Charles came to me, I was embarrassed to see him,

"Amber I know how you felt, but it was the only way to shut them up,"

"Hmm," I nodded my head not willing to talk further about it,

"But now there is another problem, Jameson invited all our relatives, including Grandma, to attend your wedding,"

I jerked,

"What...? wedding...! Are you kidding me? do I have to marry him... no way....!! never...!!" that was horrible, all my sisters and cousins are married in noble households, but why me? am I fated to a slave? why?

"I will talk to him, he won't touch you ever again, just one year and you can be free"

added Charles.

There was no other option, that bastard came prepared and I am not going to give in, it's fine even if I have to marry a slave,

I accepted the proposal. But I made it very clear that it would be an act of marriage and nothing more than that, we would split after one year.

We got married, and now I have to endure all those humiliations, but it is better than being exploited by that monster.

No one from my family seems to like him, but they don't know that he saved me just now.....

And I am thankful for that.

Alan pov...

I was like a bone stuck in their throats, not welcomed at all, and they were the same for me too, so I escaped from the hall as soon as the greetings, customs, etc were finished,

it was peaceful for me on that tree branch, under the vast sky, with charming moonlight falling on the ground. But my mind was not at ease, how should I take this,

Should I just write a letter to my father notifying this marriage or just act here for these coming days and then go back as if nothing happened,

Regardless of how it was held, it is still a marriage, and the bride is a princess, I am sure it is going to be a mess here.

I wish she didn't want anything from me, I closed my eyes and relaxed for a bit, till a bold voice disturbed my peace,

"you acted well,"

I got down and turned to see who was talking, a man in a branded suit with a golden sapphire broach, customized shoes, and a stick in his hand embedded with diamonds, showing off his wealth was standing in front of me, glaring at me, Jameson.

"Hello sir" I extended my hand friendly, but he started walking around me glaring at me in agony,

"you dare to talk to me after touching her body with those dirty hands of yours" he touched my wrist with the stick he was holding,

"I will drain every drop of blood from your body and make her wash her body with it, to pay for your sins," he said gritting his teeth and clenching his fist,

was he trying to frighten me,

"Seriously....!!" I smirked,

"is it all you have, Your Highness" I jumped back on the tree branch,

"Take your leave, Your Highness, or you won't be able to go back on your own"

"How dare you....!! I'll kill you, you low-birth, a mere slave, if you dare to talk back"

With his attitude, I think he was picking a fight, and I was wondering if this would be a fight or self-protection.

He raised his stick but stopped when Charles came calling me,

"Louis....! Where are you?"

I jumped down again,

"I am here your highness"

Jameson raged with anger, I could feel his warm breath, I am sure his blood was boiling,

" Come here Louis, I have something to tell", called Charles and I went to him while giving Jameson a head bow as a bye.

He hit the tree leaves with his stick screaming in anger.
