HER PRINCE.

Alex POV.

I looked through the window of the plane as I stared at the beautiful clouds. I'm going back to my hometown, I just finished my master's degree program at the very young age of 24 in Italy.

I didn't feel like going home, I always felt like living my own life in my ways. Where I won't have to follow any fucking rules.

I had a luxurious life, I got the money and power too cause am a prince. I flirted with an almost damn sexy young lady I set my eyes on, well they couldn't resist me cause I'm charming and hot.

Every lady wished I could just spend at least 20 minutes with them without them being worried, all they wanted was to feel the glimpse of me.

Mother forced me to come back home once I was done with my studies.

I smirked as I stared at the latest iPhone I was using.

I was in the first-class section and was so comfortable. I winked at the air hostesses who looked hot in their uniforms and they wasted no time smiling back at me.

I was always classy, men always stare at me gazing at my outfit. Everything on me speaks money even my wristwatch is pure gold with diamonds on it.

My bodyguard sat at the other end monitoring almost every single soul.

We finally reached Canada. We spent fucking 9 hours on the air. I would have used that precious hour to hang out with my friends and be with any hot lady I wanted.

Anyway, I feel so good to be back home.

The airport was located at Moncton not far from my town.

My town is Memramcook a wealthy village, I will say.

I got down from the plane and the royal car was already waiting for me.

"Can't wait to get to my room." I chuckled.

The bodyguards packed my luggage into the car while the driver opened the door for me and bowed slightly at me.

I got in and settled on the seat.

I looked at my reflection through the mirror and smirked at myself. I was damn proud of myself. My eyes were pure ocean blue and my hair was blonde brown. I had a chiseled jaw which added to my charming and I was tall and built.

It was a one-hour 30 minutes drive. Immediately we got to the palace gate, the trumpets were blown which signified the arrival of a royal person.

I brushed my hair to the back and I could see lots of ladies giggling as they threw flowers in the air and people cheering at me. I waved at them and winked at the young ladies and their cheeks grew pink immediately.

The car stopped and the door was opened for me. I stepped out as a perfect gentleman would.

"Thank you all great people of Memramcook am so delighted to be welcomed by you all," I said at the very best I could, waving at them making them cheer loudly and the trumpets blowing melodiously.

I gaze at the atmosphere and felt happy.

I saw my mother approaching me and I went ahead to go meet her.

"Darling, I've missed you!" She said as she pulled me into a tight hug.

"I missed you to mum," I said back to her as I patted her back.

"You have grown so much bigger than when you left." She said amusingly breaking the hug touching my cheeks.

"And much more handsome." She added.

"Thanks, mum." I chuckled.

"And you added more beauty mother," I said complimenting her and she smiled back at me.

The maids had already helped packing my luggage to my room.

"Guess you are tired." My mum said holding my hands as we entered the palace.

I noticed some slight changes in the palace which added more beauty to the palace.

I walked hand in hand with my mother, she was a great queen.

She has been ruling ever since dad passed away.

"Oh my! See who's here?" Mateo said happily as he walked up to us, he has always been my mum's advisor and also acts like a father to me that's why I like him.

"Good to see you again Old man," I said with a smirk.

"You haven't stopped this attitude of yours." The Queen said rolling her eyes at him.

"Your majesty, I am no longer a younger man," Mateo said laughing.

"Mum I'm exhausted, I gotta rest," I said yawning.

"Okay darling, go to your room then and freshen up." She said.

"Yes mum, meet you at dinner," I said and walked away from them. I went to my chambers.

The maids were giggling and whispering among themselves.

"OMG, he looks more charming than ever," Ava said dreamily.

"Yes, he is, but stop daydreaming." Mila chirped in making the rest laugh.

I got into my room and removed my shirt and dropped it on the floor.

The maids were no longer in my room.

My room was just as big as always with the big king master bed. I found my way to my large bathroom and got in.

I had a warm bath in my big white Bathtub. Feeling fresh, I stepped out of the bathroom and wore my expensive casual clothes, and jumped on my bed.

"I've fucking missed you," I murmured into the bedsheets.

I was still inhaling the fresh smell of my pillows when I slept off.

An hour later.

I heard someone knocking on my door jolting me up from my sleep.

"Come in," I murmured.

Then the door opened and a maid walked in.

"Her highness said you should join her at the dining table." She said.

"I will be there in a minute," I said and she went out.

I stood up and checked my appearance in the big mirror that's almost as big as a wall, quite satisfied with my look, I brushed my hair to the back and went out of the room.

I jogged down the stairs and went into the dining hall where we eat and met my mum on the dining chair waiting for me.

I sat down opposite her and was waiting anxiously for my food cause I was quite starving and I don't joke with my food.

"Did you sleep, well son?" Mother asked.

"Yes, I did," I replied with a smile.

The maids started serving us and I was busy winking at them making them blush.

"You haven't stopped this behavior of yours towards women," Mateo said chuckling as he too sat beside the queen.

"You know me well for that," I said with a smirk.

"Son you know you're getting older and you haven't gotten yourself a wife." My mum cut in.

I almost choked on my food when she said that and I stared at her.

I wasn't ready for any commitment and am not pretty sure I could fall in love.

When I even think about I just laugh it off, people saying love changed their lives blah blah blah.

"I'm not ready mum," I said casually.

"What do you mean you are not ready? Soon you will become king of this kingdom and you will need a life partner beside you." She said glaring at me.

"Your mother is right," Mateo said gazing at me.

I ate my food silently and ignored them, I'm not in the mood for arguing.

I stood up and was about to leave the room when my mum said.

"If you don't get a wife soon, we will help you look for one." She said.

"Whatever," I muttered and went out.

Now that's one of the crazy reasons I don't want to come home, following stupid rules our ancient ones followed.

Who has time for all that nowadays?

The Sunrays hit my eyes so badly as I jerked up from my sleep wondering who opened the curtains.

"What the hell!" I said angrily as I stood up from my bed to face who did that.

"I'm sorry your highness." A young timid maid gasped.

"Why did you disturb my sleep for Christ's sake?" I asked still feeling angry, I was just enjoying that precious sleep.

"Am sorry your highness." She said immediately going on her knees trembling.

I smirked at her and accessed her, well she wasn't my type but I can still do whatever I want.

Anyway, ladies can't resist me.

I unbuttoned my shirt and dropped it on the floor and she looked up at me and gasped.

"You like what you see," I said with a smirk.

Her face became red all of a sudden and I chuckled.

I got into the bathroom and had a cool bath while she carried on with her duties.

I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist.

She was still cleaning the corner of my closest but something drew me to her, her butt.

Unaware I was behind her, I stared deeply at her butt while licking my lips vigorously.

She stood up and almost tripped while I caught her immediately by her waist.

"Careful," I whispered into her ears and I could feel she was swallowing hard.

"My Prince, I should get going." She said.

I chuckled and left her immediately taking one of my expensive shirts in my closet and wore it.

She left immediately and I wondered how these maids of this palace act innocently meanwhile they are not.

I added my hair gel to my hair and brushed it smoothly.

Wearing my trouser and my leather shoes, I took a look at myself in the mirror and smirked.

I didn't dress for any damn person, I always dressed so I could be noticed.

I took my eyeglasses along with me and went out of my room.

I always love partying and was sure ready for one as I got into my latest model sports car and drove out of the compound.

Well, a responsible Prince wasn't supposed to go partying or mingling with indecent kind of people but I don't give a damn.

I don't care about any fucking things people say and I don't want to know about it.

I drove at a very high speed on the highway as I smirked.

***

"Where's the Prince?" Queen Charlotte asked her advisor as they entered into the royal chamber for a very important meeting.

"I saw him going out but I don't know exactly where," Mateo answered.

"That boy doesn't want to grow, always going to irrelevant places instead of knowing and seeking knowledge on how to rule his kingdom." The Queen said bitterly.

"He will change with time," Mateo said trying to comfort the Queen.

"But when?" The Queen asked frustratedly as she sat on the throne.

"With time," Mateo assured her.

***

"Dude, what's up? It's been a long time" Raymond's best friend Alex said welcoming him as he parked his car in front of his house.

"Yeah, a very long time." Alex chuckled embracing his friend in a tight hug.

They both chatted and laughed at some silly things they do as they got into the house.

"Mehn have missed you!" Raymond said as he went to bring champagne.

"Me too bro," Alex said with a smirk.

"So guess you are ready for the party at Charles's place," Raymond said giving him a glass of champagne.

"Very ready can't wait to get through those ladies," I said with a smirk.

"You never stopped your ways without women," Raymond said laughing and stood up.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yeah sure, let's get going and hook up with hot sexy girls." Raymond winked at Alex as they both got out of his house.

They got into the sports car and zoomed off.

45 minutes later.

Writer's POV.

They got to Charles beach house and they could start hearing the erotic sounds of music as they got into the compound.

Sexy girls going up and down while Alex and Raymond winked at them.

They saw Charles from afar and he waved happily at them telling them to come over.

"So nice to see you again Alex," Charles said hugging him.

"Yeah me too," Alex replied and scattered his hair making both of them laugh.

"Woah Woah!! Alex the hot guy is back." Julius said loudly from behind and both of them laughed and hugged each other.

"Come on guys let's go to the VIP section, there are hot girls there," Charles said loudly.

" What have been waiting for," Alex said and all of them laughed.

They got to the VIP section and were welcomed by a lot of sexy girls who danced and swayed their hips in front of them.

The boys drank wine merrily and laughed happily.

"Do you care for a dance?" A sexy young blonde walked up to them and asked Alex winking at him and swayed her hips in front of him.

"Dude she's hot," Charles said loudly tapping Alex.

" Sure," Alex said with a smirk and held her hands.

They both went to the dance floor and dance to the music as their body collided and kept hitting each other.

Alex took her to a private place and made out with her.

It was already getting late and Alex had to struggle to get himself home.

Two hours later.

Alex raced into the palace with his sports car, he was lucky to drive in the state he was in, cause he was already drunk.

He tried walking normally but his drunken state betrayed him.

He kept on walking as he collided with a servant boy who was carrying a bowl of water which mistakenly poured on Alex.

His shirt was soaked and the servant boy trembled in fear.

"Are you fucking blind?" Alex glared at him.

"How dare you, these are expensive shirts and you got them soaked," Alex said angrily.

"Am sorry your highness." The servant boy said trembling begging for mercy.

"Not even your earnings could buy this shirt." Alex blurted out as he clenched his jaw.

" That's enough!!!" Someone said from behind him.

Still shocked Alex turned slowly and met his mother glaring angry looks at him which can kill a soul.

"You can go." The Queen said to the servant boy.

" Yes, your highness." The servant boy said and walked out with high speed.

"Mother don't you see what he did to me," Alex said trying to make a sense out of everything.

"Where have you been Alex?" The Queen asked angrily.

" You don't have to know." Alex blurted out as he tried maintaining his balance.

The Queen looked at him pitifully and noticed he was drunk.

"Where were you and you are drunk again." The Queen said with a firm voice.

" Where have been is none of your business mother, and you don't care if am drunk or not." Alex fired back.

" How dare you talk that way to me?" The Queen shot back.

Alex kept looking at his mother and rested a bit on the wall with his arms crossed.

"I always wanted you to be a responsible young man that will be the future king of this kingdom but here you are just the opposite." The Queen said angrily with tears forming in her eyes.

" You have to listen to your mother, your highness," Mateo said from behind facing Alex.

" Mateo this is none of your business and stay out of this." Alex glared at him and walked past them.

" I don't care about the fucking rules anyway." He said loudly leaving the Queen and her advisor on a spot.

" This boy is getting on my nerves." The Queen said bitterly and left while her advisor followed behind her.

Alex got into his room.

"That bastard!" Alex muttered as he dropped his shirt on the floor.

His head was hurting badly and he walked weakly to his bed and slumped on it as sleep engulfed him.

Emilia POV.

"I'm not going anywhere mum," I said angrily as I dashed off to my room leaving her and dad in our little living room.

"Whether you like it or not, you are going to the palace," My dad shouted for me to hear.

I closed my door loudly for them to hear as I sat on my bed sobbing.

I never wanted this in my life, I never wanted to be a maid.

I'm the kind of person who gets so angry and annoyed with every little thing.

What if they do something to me that I don't like and I burst out angrily.

I know the palace too well, My friends do get excited working there as maids cause most of them to want to see the handsome prince.

Well, I don't care the fuck about who he is, I only know he is a cocky arrogant prince who is nothing but a spoilt brat.

Why do my parents do this to me always?' I questioned myself angrily as I slumped on the bed covering my face with my palms.

Things have been really difficult for my family, we hardly have enough to eat and my dad heard about the offer made for bringing new maids into the palace.

I was boiling with anger.

How dare he?

I'm old enough to do some petty jobs now but he insisted on me going to the palace.

I heard a knock on the door and I sat up immediately on the bed wiping my tears away.

I wouldn't want them to see me this weak.

"Come in," I said sternly staring at the door angrily.

It was Asher my younger brother.

He was the only one who understood me and always stood by my side. He is so protective of me even though he was still a little boy.

"Big sis," He said as he walked into my room and sat on my bed.

"Don't wanna talk about it," I shrugged as I crossed my legs on the bed.

"It's okay if you don't want to, but I would have loved to try out new things also," He said.

" Are you also supporting dad," I glared at him?

" No, I'm not. I know how it feels being a servant but one has to try it." He said childishly.

" You know nothing," I chuckled.

" How about you end up being the queen in the palace," He said seriously.

I blinked at him for some minutes before volcanic laughter came out of me as I held my stomach laughing seriously till tears came out of my eyes.

"Me! A Queen, c'mon Asher being a servant is not applying for some royal stuff and besides am not fit to be a queen," I smiled as I drew him closer to me.

" And what if you become one?" He asked.

"Well I will be helping a lot of people especially the poorer ones like us," I smiled sadly.

" Then you will be one," He assured me and I rolled my eyes.

" That's not going to happen and besides the prince won't want to have anything to do with commoners," I said disgustedly as I stood up from the bed.

"You are not positive at all," He pouted.

Asher was my one and only favorite brother, we were just two and we did a lot of things in common.

He was always the positive type and has a strong mind.

I was five years older than him, well I'm 19 so he's 14.

He's a bit tall that you will hardly know he's of that age and he had emerald green eyes just like me.

I'm the plump type, don't call me fat and I have an hourglass shape which makes guys drool for me but I wasn't ready for such moves now.

I share the same color of eyes with my younger brother and I was average tall.

My hair was ebony and very long to the extent, it reached my buttocks.

I don't like short hair and I was lucky to be gifted with a longer one.

What worries me most is that if at all, I ever agreed on going to the palace does that mean I will have to cut my hair.

I won't, I will just bond and pack it always.

Mum said my hair was a powerful gift that will bring good tidings and favor but I was too arrogant to welcome it.

There are countless times when men will bring gifts to the house so they could see me but I was the type in breaking hearts.

I always rejected every single one of them, not that they are not good-looking but I don't have any kind of feeling or connection with them.

"Will you go to the palace?" Asher asked interrupting my thoughts.

" I don't know yet," I shrugged as I folded the mat from the floor keeping it by my little cupboard.

"Maybe you should do something that will at least make dad happy with you, you are always grumpy with him," He stated.

" That's because I can't be following the crazy rules all the time," I shot back.

Asher sighed and laid on my bed.

' What if I leave and try something new in the palace' I thought weirdly.

"I will go," I said unexpectedly.

"Huh!" Asher said sitting immediately.

"I will go to the palace," I said with a smirk.

" Woah! What a change of mind so fast," Asher said smiling at me.

" What makes you think of going?" He asked.

" I don't know but I feel like leaving home and try some stuff outside the home," I said.

" Mind you, going to the palace will be nothing less than a prisoner cause you won't be able to do as you wish," He informed and I grabbed the pillow on the bed threw it at him.

"Jeez! Just a joke," He laughed catching the pillow.

"Whatever, at least I will make new friends, it won't be that boring you know," I said.

" Yeah!" He smiled.

" Let me inform Dad about it," I said running out of my room.

I was going down the stairs when I heard my mum arguing with dad.

"How will you collect the money from the chief maid when you know fully well Emilia won't accept being a maid," My mum said angrily.

" It's not my fault either, I needed the money so badly for your health," He gulped.

" See my daughter is more important than my health and I won't let you just make her go against her wish," My mum said fighting for me.

" So what do we do now?" My dad asked staring at my mum.

I hid well so they won't be able to see me.

' What's wrong with mum,' I thought worriedly.

"Return the money, I will be fine," My mum said as she coughed seriously and my dad rushed to his side to get a cup of water for her.

He looked so worried as he wiped his tears, I've never seen him like this before.

There must be something they are hiding from us.

"We can find better options to get money than giving our daughter away," Mum said and dad nodded immediately.

Mum always cared for us and despite what was wrong with her which I was unaware of she made her family her priority before herself.

' I'm going to the palace,' I made up my mind.

"Dad!" I called out as I walked into the living room.

Mum turned her attention to me and smiled wearily.

I stared at him and sat on the cushioned chair which was a bit torn.

Everything about us needs a change and if at all I have the means am changing everything about it.

I was about to speak when I heard a knock.

"Oh no! It's the guards, they're here for Emilia," He said worry lacing his face.

" No! They can't come now," Mother said as she tried to stand up immediately.

Dad went for the door immediately and opened it.

"Where is she?" One of the guards asked.

"Uhm! My-my daughter isn't..." He wasn't able to finish his sentence when the guards pushed him aside and came into the sitting room.

I stood there looking bold and fearless as I glanced at mum with tears on her face.

"Is she the one?" the guard asked scanning me from head to toe.

"Please can you give her some minutes more, she hasn't decided," My dad begged?

The other guard chuckled as the former turned to him.

" You should have known that before accepting the money from the palace," The former said.

" Dad, I'm going," I said firmly as my dad looked at me with shock.

"I can return the money," He said.

"This is all your fault," My mum pointed at my dad.

"No mother don't blame him, he's doing this because of you, use the money to take good care of your health and stay strong," I said as I kissed her forehead and hugged her.

She hugged me tightly as she sobbed.

Asher came downstairs looking all confused as he stared at the royal guards.

"Goodbye Asher!" I said as he moved closer to me.

" I will miss you," He said and hugged me tightly.

" Me too," I muttered before the guards drew me away from him.

I broke free from their grip and eyed them before turning to dad with a smile.

"Everything will be fine," I said and he nodded.

I went out of the house, to leave my home a place I grew up and always learned to love to become a servant in a freaking palace.

"Such a tough type," One of the guards chuckled.

They opened the door of the car and I got in as my parents and brother stood in front of the house waving at me till I got out of their sight.
