Castle life

Hazel's POV

" The Prince wants his apple pie right now, why are you so slow? "

" Right away Madam Xenia "

I tried to get the pie tray but it was so hot.

I almost burn my hand again.

Umera came from nowhere to grab it and served it so Madam Xenia can take it.

" I don't know how you know such a disaster Umera, Try to learn something useful from him "

She harshly said then left, Umera grabbed my hands to check on them.

" Don't worry, I didn't burn them this time "

I said half laughing half crying.

" I'm a complete disaster, aren't I ? "

I said while my eyes become blurry.

" You're perfect Hazel, don't mind her "

Umera said while hugging me.

Umera is my lover,

And I,

lost my memories.

......

" Now have some sleep, your body still healing "

Umera said placed me softly on our bed.

I had a bad accident three months ago.

My knees were injured badly, my arm was broken, my head lost a lot of blood.

Umera said he ran with me on his back to all the doctors in the kingdom.

The only one who agreed to treat me was the prince's personal doctor.

His name is Joen.

He was kind enough to give us a job here at the castle as chef helpers.

Umera says that I liked to cook before I lost my memories but I highly doubt that.

I don't know anything about cooking.

................

" Are you going to sleep for the rest of your life, stand up now! "

I woke up because of Xenia's screaming as always, I didn't even want to sleep, but just to rest my legs.

" The Prince ordered to see who cooked the Apple pie, which is you, I hope he gets you fired, or better, killed! "

She said while laughing I rolled my eyes then got dressed.

I know the prince won't harm him, he is so kind, all he cares about is alcohol.

Maybe he cares about me a little too, just saying.

......

" She is here my prince "

Xenia said, I entered the prince room, hoping Umera isn't near, he gets so jealous wherever I go.

" Oh, it's you, Hazel, the injured lady who came with the muscular man "

The Prince said, good he is not drunk.

I kneeled before him to answer.

" It's me, my prince, sorry if you didn't like the Apple pie, I'll do better next time. "

I felt the prince stand up, I looked at him coming towards me.

" Such a beauty, how a Hazel like you ended in this terrible place "

He was trying to touch my face but I stepped a step back.

" You don't need to be on guard with me, I won't harm you "

" I know my prince, you're a kind person "

" I said don't call me prince before right? Please call me Alex "

He took another step and I stepped back to touch the door handle.

" I have some dishes to do if you excuse me "

He put his hand on the door so I couldn't open it.

" Hazel, your pie was better today, I don't want to eat from any hand but you, you make my food so sweet and delicious "

He whispered in my right ear, I was terrified but he backed away finally.

" Don't refuse me next time, I'm not much of a patient "

He said then I opened the door quickly and ran to the kitchen.

..........

" He becomes crazier and crazier, how should I refuse him "

I was talking to myself, when I entered the kitchen I found Umera in Infront of me, he came to hug me, worried.

" Where were you? I thought you left me, I thought you ran away, I thought they killed you I-.. "

" Hey hey, calm down, I'm okay alright, don't worry"

He panics every time I'm away from him for more than fifteen minutes.

" Where did you go? "

I made him sit to look at his terrified face, honestly, he looks like a baby, a handsome baby, but a terrified one.

I don't know what happened to him to be this way, I think it's by accident.

" Oh, you worry about me so much, do you love me?"

I tried to mock him and sat on his lap, his panicked face calmed a bit, his silver eyes were glowing.

I kissed his left eye and hugged his head.

" I was in the prince room, but only for 15 minutes, you don't have to worry"

He broke the hug slowly to look at me.

" Now you make me more worried, you don't know how this bastard looks at you "

Umera is so angry right now, so cute.

" You know he looks at all the maids the same way, he can't try anything with me, you taught me how to fight, remember? "

He kissed my neck then rested his head on my shoulder.

" I want you "

I blushed and looked around me, I made him stand and he pushed me while kissing to our room.

.........

After two hours I was relaxing my body beside Umera, we were looking at the chandler.

" Learning how to defend yourself doesn't make me less worried Hazel "

He said and I grabbed his hand, thinking.

" I know Umera you had a bad memory that made you that way, I wish you told me what happened "

I whispered and looked at him to see him crying.

I flipped over quickly to touch his face.

" Don't cry, Umera please, don't, I'll stop talking about the past, please forget all the bad things "

" I'm sorry "

He said while crying harder, I hugged him.

" Shh, you're alright, I'm alright "

Guess I'll never know what happened that day.

" I love you "

He said and hugged me back, every time he says that my heart hurts.

But I know, I love him, I do.

" I love you too "

" Don't leave me "

" I won't "

" Don't abandon me "

" I won't "

.........................

I woke up early to look at Umera's peaceful sleeping face.

His eyes are swollen because he cried a lot, I can't help it, he always likes that when I mention the past.

But I need to know.

That's why I had to act on my own.

............

I dressed quickly after a bath, went to the prince's meeting room.

" Prince Alex, it's Hazel"

" Just on time Hazel, you may enter "

I entered to find two maids in his office and one doing him a shoulder massage.

" If it's not the right time I'll leave "

I said quickly bowing but he pushed the girls.

" It's always the right time for you Hazel, please come here, sit, you three, leave! "

He pointed to the maids and they were passing.

" How a handsome prince likes a Sl*t like you "

" You think you're special? He will throw you after doing you "

" You're a cheap "

I ignored them with a polite smile and sat on the chair.

They finally left and closed the door, the prince was wiping his office, pouring some wine inside two cups.

" Drink some, sweet Hazel "

He put the cup in front of me, and he had already drunk his.

" I'd like to stay super my prince, did you search what happened to me that night "

I said while trying to maintain my body from shivering.

" Offcourse Hazel, I already searched a lot about you, but as I told you before, everything came with a price, I don't work for free "

Kind prince indeed.

I gulped while looking away from him.

" What do you want? "

I said and he placed the wine in Infront of my face.

" Every time you obey me, I'll tell you something that I know about you "

He said and I grabbed the wine to drink it in one shot.

" Wow, you're a good drinker, you were from the west village named under, Hersana "

He said while pouring another drink for me.

" Really? What happened to the village? Wh- "

He handed me the wine again and I drink it.

" You were working as a farmer, collecting vegetables to deliver it to this castle "

My head is a bit dizzy.

" W, I was a farmer? Did I have a family? "

" It's hot, isn't it? Let's take off some clothes "

He said while taking off his suit, I nodded while my head is spinning.

I took off my dress I almost fall but he caught me.

" Your whole village got burned that night, no animal, person, crop, is alive"

He said while hugging me.

" What? , W, what are you doing? "

" I'm dancing with your honey, I'm doing what I won't remember? "

I'm so dizzy that I'll fall, I'm hugging him so much so My legs won't betray me.
