CHAPTER 14&15: THEODORA IS ACCUSED.
★ ★ ★ ★
Poor Theodora to have thought it was over with the girl. She finished dressing, leaving the room to the kitchen to fetch the king’s meal.
While she took it with her, someone came from the other direction, jamming her shoulder against hers.
The tray of food fell to the ground, some paticules of the food stained on her white dress.
” Are you blind that you didn’t see me?” She looked at the lady, her voice sounding so familiar.
It was the same lady who was spying on her last night. She frowned.
” Are you intentionally stalking me or what? I should be the one asking you if you had the eyes to see. ” She bent to pick the broken tray and plates, but was stopped by the lady who had already grabbed her hair.
” You silly big mouth.” She cursed. ” I’m very sure it’s your mouth that got you here.”
” Let go off my hair. Ahh, you’re hurting me. ” She cried, fighting back to let go.
” Don’t waste your time Bîtch. ” She slapped her to the ground. Taking hold of her hair again, she slapped the other cheek.
Theodora held her affected cheeks, ” What do you want from me?” She asked as tears threatened to leave her eyes.
” You think working as his personal maid will gain you the favour you desire? ” She scoffed. ” You’re wrong, because he will be the same to make your life a miserable hell. ”
She walked away, leaving her on the floor.
She got to her feet, dusting her dress. Then she returned back to the kitchen with the tray broken tray.
The cook looked at her, surprised. She had thought Kaleb had thrown the food at her out of annoyance or maybe the meal wasn’t tasty enough.
But that can’t be possible. Never have he complained that her food wasn’t good. So what might have caused her to return?
” What happened to the meal?” Asked the cook.
” I got hit by someone and the tray fell off my hands.” She explained.
” I can’t believe his highness still harbor wicked people in this castle. ” She said, shooking her head.
She put his meal in a different plate, dropping it on a different tray. ” Be careful with this.” She told her.
Theodora took it from her, holding both edges of the tray firmly. ” Thank you.” She greeted.
” It’s nothing, I was once in the field so I do understand how it feels. Now go, don’t keep his highness waiting. ”
This time, she decided to be careful and conscious of her environment in case if someone was coming from another direction she would be ready to avoid getting in contact with the person.
When she entered his room, he was busy with some files on his table that he didn’t notice her walk in.
” Sir, here is your food.” She informed.
He rose his gaze at her. ” Oh. You know what, just drop it on the table, I’m kinda busy to eat right now. Thanks by the way. ”
Theodora was relieved. She was expecting him to shout or scream the earth out of her but rather he wasn’t in the mood to eat any thing.
She left the room.
She trailed around the fortress, some part of the building looked ancient, like there hasn’t been anyone in those areas for the past hundred centuries of existence.
She got to a room, above it was written “RAYMOND” in capital letters on a golden stone.
It was locked with a big padlock, every sides of the door was stained with dust and webs. That was Raymond’s room centuries ago??
” You shouldn’t be here.” Said a voice.
She turned to see who it was. She has never seen the face before. ” I know. I was just about leaving.” She turned to leave.
” Stop right there.” She stopped. The lady walked to her front. ” You’re the girl from the rogue camp, right?”
Theodora made no comment.
” Hmm.” She hummed. ” What were you trying to do on that door? To open it? Or to find things worth stealing? ” She questioned
” I was just walking around, that’s all. ”
” Well, what I saw you doing wasn’t walking around, you were actually up to something evil. And if my guess is right, then you’re planning to open that door. ”
” I swear, I wasn’t thinking of doing that. ” She sweared.
” I can see, you haven’t learned the rules yet. But if you are thinking that being his highness’s maid will save you or give you the freedom to do wh@tëver you want, then you’re wrong. You just walked in here yesterday so don’t feel too big already. ”
Another maid showed up. ” What’s going on here? ” She asked.
” She was attempting to open Prince Raymond’s room.” Replied the other maid.
” What?” She exclaimed. ” And you still haven’t reported it to his highness? What are you still waiting for, go! ” She urged.
” I’m serious, I wasn’t planning on sneaking in there. And besides, it’s locked. I don’t have the keys with me to talk of the strength to open that padlock. ” She defended.
” You might not be with any of those but at least, who knows if you’re a witch or something. The last time I heard, those creatures doesn’t need anything to help them. ” Said the second maid, not wanting to believe her.
The first maid without haste, rushed to have Theodora reported to the alpha prince.
She knocked and he let her in. ” Sir, I have some thing to report to you.” She announced.
” Go on, I am listening.” He said, but still had his eyes focused on the book before him.
” It’s about your maid, Theodora.”
” What about her?”
” She attempted to open Prince Raymond’s chamber. Luckily, I caught her on time. ” She informed.
Kaleb paused, staring up at her. ” Theodora? ” He asked, surprised.
” Yes, sir. ”
” Are you sure of this? ” He asked again.
” I’m certain, your highness. I saw her with my own eyes. I also have a witness who can testify to this.” She said, certainly.
” Call in Theodora. ” He requested, anger written on his face.
