Rhea’s POV
“Good morning, Luna.” A maid walked into my room.
I moaned, getting up from my sleep.
“You’re not Alysia?” I lifted an eyebrow at her. She lowered her head immediately.
“I’m sorry Luna, but Alysia is not available for today. She has fallen ill, so I’ll be filling in for her for the day,” the new maid spoke.
“What’s your name?”I became curious.
I like addressing them by their names, rather with the title of maids.
“Bianca” she voiced.
“Okay Bianca, nice to have you here. What are you holding?” I asked, as she was holding a purple cloth over it.
“Oh! This is a gift from crowned Prince Kayden. He has asked me to bring it to you. The coronation ceremony will be held at night. He insisted that you wear it, Bianca said, as she walked closer to me.
I lifted the purple cloth from the dress, and I gasped.
I honestly didn’t expect Kayden to have such great taste. It was a purple emerald necklace that matched with the purple dress that I would wear later in the evening to the ceremony.
My cheeks flushed red immediately. I have never had anyone give me something, apart from Gia and my mum. Not even my father.
“Thank you. You can leave it on the table. I will put it on later,”I told her.
“But, wouldn’t you like to test it first? To see if it fits?” Bianca suggested.
“It’s a necklace, Bianca. Of course it would fit,,”I responded as nicely as I could.
But, I could still see an annoyed look on Bianca’s face. She didn’t seem too happy that I had rejected her suggestion.
“You can go now” I insisted.
I wasn’t comfortable changing my clothes in front of a new maid. Not every maid in the packhouse has to see me naked, because I am the luna. I was very comfortable with Alysia, and now I have to get used to someone else?
I just hope that Alysia gets better soon, because I don’t like this Bianca girl and I don’t even know why.
My phone rang, and as though I had been waiting for the call. I hurriedly answered the phone.
“Hello” I spoke, feeling very happy.
“Hmm, you have now become a queen and have forgotten about your best friend. I can see that the old man is treating you well” Gia was sarcastic.
A faint smile crawled on my face, she doesn’t even know anything that has been happening lately. I just have to tell her.
“Can you come to the packhosue later this evening. There is a very important event that’s happening today. “I invited her, wanting to surprise her.
“Oh, my darling queen. I wish I could come but I dont have anything to wear. Nothing, I have is fit to be worn amongst people of your caliber” she complained.
“Thats fine. I’ll send the driver to pick you up, and by the time you get here. The maids will have arranged a dress for you. They’ll get your ready and everything” I suggested.
“Wow! My friend now has maids and guards…” she laughed.
“I’ve always had them, and you know. They just weren’t this much” I defended myself.
“Ohk, I have to go now. Bye” I ended the call quickly.
I knew Gia, she could taunt me all day if I let her..
I dragged myself out of the bed, when I heard my door being swung open.
I turned around, ready to lash out anyone who dared to enter without knocking.
“What?” Kayden glared at me.
I smacked my palm against my forehead, feeling silly.
How could I have forgotten that this wasn’t even my room. After the coronation, I’d need to discuss with Jayden about getting me my own room.
“You’re not getting your own room. So, dont even bother asking” Kayden spoke.
“What?” I was shocked.
“Don’t look at me like that” he took off his shirt.
“I need to have my bath. Move out of the way” he ordered.
“But, I also want to have my bath. And why didn’t you knock, what if I was naked huh?” I was furious.
“It’s my room, why should I knock before entering my room?” He lifted an eyebrow at me.
“That’s why I want my own room. I need my privacy” I insisted.
“Not happening. I’ll wait for you to bathe and be quick” he insisted.
“Are you even paying attention to me?” I asked him.
“Yes, I am and I have said that there’s no need for you to have your own room. Rhea, this isn’t the time for this discussion. I have to make preparations for my coronation” he argued.
I glared at him, and hissed, stumping into the bathroom.
I let the cold water run down my body, taking all the anger away from me.
I reached out for a towel but it wasnt there.
I hadn’t let Bianca come in and set the bathroom. Now, what do I do?
“Close your eyes Kayden!” I yelled from inside the bathroom.
“Why?” He didn’t seem happy.
“Just do it!” I was furious..
“Fine” he yelled back at me.
I walked out of the bathroom, all wet and slippery.
I could barely even stand, let alone walk properly. Maybe, I should have let the water dry off first.
I walked towards the bed, planning to drag the sheets off and use it to cover myself, when I slipped.
I shut my eyes, ready to crash my forehead against the floor.
“I’m I dead yet?” I thought to myself.
“Not yet” Kayden responded, but this time his voice was in my head.
How the fuck is he doing all these? Is this some kind of power the royals have that we do not have?.
I opened my eyes slowly to see Kayden’s face hovering above mine.
My body all wet, and my nipples hard because of the cold water I had bathed.
“Kay.. Kayden” I stuttered.
“Yes?” He lifted an eyebrow, still holding me in the same position.
“I asked you to close your eyes, didn’t I?” I felt very ashamed of myself.
My heart was pounding so hard against my chest, I felt like it was going to reap out of the rib cage.
