Prince Harry POV

'I saw it with my very own eyes sire,' George said.

'That can't be, Iris isn't like that, ' I reply as my heart gave a painful jolt.

George began to recount what happened at the stream. How can this it be? I had make sure that she is never alone with him.

'Sire' I turn to face George, what is it?

'I can call Iris so that you can........

'No! I said firmly' cutting him short

'Then what do you propose we do sire'? He ask looking at me.

'Have Nickolas meet me' I said after awhile.

'Yes sire' I watch George storm off. As I clench my jaw in anger, so this was his reason for always inquiring about her.

I will be damned if I let him have Iris.

I watch the door close as my thoughts nib at me

Prince Nickolas POV

I waited for my father at the throne room with all the council. The silent whisper seized immediately the door opened to admit my father.

I watch his rigid strides as he backed us all.

'leave us!' his voice echo around us and I watch the council exit and the knights.

Immediately the door closed signaling privacy, father turned to face me and I could see his anger radiating all over him.

'What were you thinking'? He ask slowly.

'I wasn't' I replied

'I can clearly see that you were not, how do I face king August'. He fumed as he walk towards me

Father I.......

'I gave you the opportunity other kingdoms are eying and you threw it away for a maid'? He interrupted me

'She's not just a maid father I love her'

'Have you ever stop to think about the well being of the kingdom and it's people? ' he asked as the grip his shelth sword

'I have father, I think of all this but don't I deserve to think about me?'

The silence was a slap that enveloped us. My racing heart wrench in pain as I lied to him.

'Son, love his a trivial matter to the well being of our people' he said after awhile.

'Father you make it sound as if we are poor, they need us, we don't need them'. I said irritated with the thought of being at the mercy of others.

His eyes flamed in anger ' as your father and your king I demand that you stop seeing her'

'I won't father' you found love I also have the right to do so'.

'Then are you prepared to lose your throne for her sake?' he asked studying me kneely

Yes father I reply with out missing a beat.' as I held is gaze steadily.

Princess Vidia pov

'No! I can't lose to maid Nickolas is mine' I scream in a anger as Miam recount the event.

'Where is she'? I ask I tried to collect my breath.

'In her chamber my lady' she replied

'Tell the guards to bring her to me' I said

I watch Miam leave briskly as I sigh deeply, I will rather have my hair shaved than to loose Prince Nickolas to a maid.

'My lady, you are bleeding' a timid voice said. And I glance at my hand to see that the hair pin I was holding as drawn out blood.

I could care less about it. My gaze snap to the door and I saw my guards drag in the whore.

I grin in delight as I saw her visibly shrink back in sight of me.

'My lady you're bleeding' Miam said as the blood drip to my skirt.

I study the maid as she nervously hold her skirt my attention was on her solely. As Miam busy her self with my cut.

'You dare commit an horrid act with my husband right under my nose.' I fumed immediately Miam tied a band aid around the cut.

'No my lady I wouldn't dare' she said as she kept her head down

'Are you saying my maid lied to me?I ask angrly as I pulled her neatly bun out it's claps.

'My lady its not as it seems' she said.

'Not as it seems? You having a frivolous act with his highness right under the sun is not as it seems?' I ask again as I pull her hair hard enough to cause pian.

I was delighted to hear her wimp in pain.

'I saw her my lady, we all did Miam said.'

'Slap her!' I said to Miam.
Who moved forward the loud echo was like a music to my ears.

Her hair was like a curtain about her as I watch her eyes glazed in pain.

'If I hear that you see or talk to the prince in private or public, I will leave you a gift to remember me by.'

'Y-es my lady' she stutter.

'Leave' I said and I watch her scurry out of my chamber'

'Get someone to keep an eye on her' I said to Miam.

'Yes my lady'.

My cheek has flamed up and my disorder hair keeps it hidden. I best go see prince Harry.

Am sure he must have heard what happened. I need to let him know that it all Prince Nickolas ploy.

I got to his chamber to see the door slightly ajar. I could make out his voice and prince Nickolas voice. What is prince Nickolas doing here?

"Tell me is it true" Prince Harry asked as I froze in my action.

"Yes Harry! I have fancy your maid since I set my eyes on her, and I would like to spend my days with her as my Princess."

I held in my gasp of shock at prince Nickolas claim. As i quickly clamp my hand on my mouth

"You have no idea what you are saying" Prince Harry replied

"I do" prince Nickolas said.

"No you don't, your claim of love expires when you see another conquest" Prince Harry argued in a loud voice, and I heard the cups rattled.

"What is it to you Harry? Umm answer me."

A lengthy silence engulf the place as I waited with bathed hope waiting for Prince Harry to respond.

"Oh I see you love her, don't you" Prince Nickolas jeered

"Of course not, Prince Harry said immediately, how can I be in love with my maid. Not just any maid a water maid! You must be mad" He mocked.

His reply made me stumble backwards, I thought he fancy's me? So am just a water maid to him all along. As the tears find it trails down my face

I hoped for too much as I retraced my steps back to my quarters ignoring the tears streaming down my face and the preying eyes of other maid's that were along the corridors

I do apologize for any spelling error.
Ps: the picture up is who I imagine princess Vidia to be.
