As she was setting off, Elliot came next to her, "Let me help you.""You don't have to.""I feel bad about making the prince to come around and fetch you."" That's not your fault Elliot, I was the one that insisted for you to go."Aurora got a surprise when Caspian lifted her without saying a word and he didn't say anything as they reached his chambers.He sat her down on his bed, she saw that he had come back with a dish and a cloth, he started to take her shoe,"You don't have to My Lord. I can do it for myself."Caspian did not listen and he lifted her dress until it was on her thighs, she was blushing the whole time he was tending to her wounds.He wrapped a handkerchief around her leg, he put her dress back in place. Caspian stood up,"Thank you My Lord.""You must be mad at me Aurora.""Why do you say so My Lord?""You didn't spare me a glance, no-matter how much I kept on looking for your gaze.""I didn't want your date to go wrong with Princess Nadia and I am a maid, and I am

Weeks went by and Aurora understood now what Elliot meant in terms of being alone. She had no family to visit.She hadn't seen Caspian since that fateful day and could not afford to see her friends, she would have to see them when they were free and she had to ask for permission.The process was too long and unnecessary, and most of the time was declined. And she wondered where Elliot had gone to.She had also not seen him in weeks, was he also avoiding her after that day? She sent a letter with one of the maids to Elliot.The whole day passed as she sat inside her villa ready to sleep, she was wearing the white nightgown, and her hair was loose being brushed by Eleanor her maid."A letter for the lady."Aurora nodded to Eleanor to get the letter,She came back, "Here is the letter My Lady."Aurora nodded for her to carry on brushing her hair,My LadyI regret to inform you that Elliot fell from his horse and broke a lot of his bones.He has been running a fever and is fighting for hi

Aurora had packed her bags and was ready to leave, if she was being honest, she did not know when she would be back.Relief coursed through her, but at the same time, a sharp pain stabbed her heart. She didn't want to leave Caspian.Her bags were being loaded, and when she went out Nadia and the other concubines were there,"Morning My Lady.""I hear you are going for a few moons," Nadia replied taunting her."Yes My Lady.""Smart move Aurora, seems like you learned your lesson, have a safe journey.""Thank you for your kind thoughts, My Lady.""The prince has arrived."They all bowed, and Caspian came in front of her and pulled her into his arms. He pulled back and she could see Nadia and all the concubines fuming."I will miss you, My love.""So will I."Caspian didn't care and he kissed in front of everyone, when he pulled back he touched her cheek, "Don't be gone for long and don't forget me.""I would never."She climbed into the carriage and saw Nadia moving to stand beside Casp

"You what Aurora? You do know that I am the princess right and you are just a whore maid that will never amount to anything, and conned the prince for a title, but that won't last mark my words, when Caspian sees you for what you are, he won't care and I will make sure you remember who I am.""Why only me?""What are you on about?" Nadia snapped."Why do you hate me so much?""You think I have not noticed how you seduced Caspian, to when you served him at the banquet, to the picnic. Those fake innocent eyes of yours I can see through them.""So why not every concubine?""Because you want to challenge me Aurora, you think we are on the same level in terms of Caspian's affection, you forget you are dirt and from dirt.""Should one be judged where they are from? I can't control that.""It does matter where you are from, I am miles away higher than you, I have met Caspian's parents which are essentially mine, has he done that for you? Or is he hiding you away like the trash you are?"Auro

Aurora jumps out of his arms, and the door to the prison is opened, she and Elliot are released, and the minute she is out Caspian grabs her by the hand and drags her away.He was walking fast and for every step, he took she had to take two so she could match his steps, and he was not slowing down.They walked into his villa and he did not respond to anyone that greeted him, when they got to his chambers he dragged her in and let go of her hand and he slammed the door shut.Aurora looked at the ground, she could not stand to look at him in the present moment that they were in."Tell me Aurora! Make me understand.""I don't know what you want me to say.""So you think it's fine for you to spend a night with another man?""I didn't choose to, I had no choice.""At least look at me when you say those words and that's an order!"Aurora lifted her head and looked him in the eye, she did not flinch at his words, her own anger was simmering on the surface.She could see the hurt in his eyes
