So since the Kings have many children, they will be alot of envies and conspiracy between all of you so as a prince who was born with a silver spoon, I expected you and we all expected you to get married to a princess also because it isn't possible for someone like you to marry to her slave. "No it can't be possible!
Because number one: that girl wouldn't be educated!
Two: she doesn't know anything about royalty so she wouldn't know how to take care of things around her. "So my son; forget about that girl first and focus on being the crown prince! Focus on the things around you because as time goes on, nobody will stand by your side again.

So right now he's currently on his way to the maid quarters. He's certain that she might have come back from the stream. "Kayden", he called her attention as she was about to enter the maid quarter.
Staring at her face thoroughly, he could tell that she was so happy to see him. And that was because he had made the innocent girl to fall for himself. "Good afternoon my prince!" Kayden greeted in her normal tone and posture as usual with a bright smile which revealed her gap teeth.
Kayden couldn't help but pondered why the king was just glaring at her without uttering a words. Could it be that something was wrong?
Kayden thought as she narrowed her gaze to the ground since she was getting uncomfortable with the way he was looking at her and she was afraid that someone from the royal family would see them at the moment since their love affairs was secret. She so wonder how they're gonna react when they found out the truth. Would they even accept her since she's just an ordinary maid.
"Kayden", he finally call after some seconds of silent. "I don't think this can work between us! It can't work anymore and I'm sorry for the promises I made to you. Be safe! Prince Zelda utter and walk out of her before she could say a words
