Desmond's POV
I saw the look on her face when I made that statement, she looked lost and sad, but should I care she's just a slave after all, she has no idea what's in for her this time...
Danika's POV
I went to the kitchen with a sad face, he really hit the spot, u know I'm no more a princess, but hearing it from him hits different.
To be honest when I saw my Dad being killed, I felt empty and almost unemotional, well my Dad never really loved me anyways so who was I kidding, but deep down I knew he was still my Dad, the ruthless person who cares about no other thing than his kingdom...
He was very proud, he refused to take advice from Women, who of course he viewed as trash...
But if he had listened to me, the military secrets won't have been leaked and we would have won the war, but of course I'm a lady aren't I...
I could hear some maids chuckling as I came in, yeah let them make fun of it whatsoever, it's not my problem..
Alright, what should I cook for this man now, oh I mean prince.
I am one hell of a cook to be honest, I loved cooking and at home I usually snuck into the kitchen to make dishes, my mom didn't like that, but it was the only time I felt really happy within myself.
I quickly whipped up something together and soon it was ready, I really hope it tastes good...
I served it to him, Desmond, he took a spoon after which he drank a cup of juice beside him and for a few seconds he didn't say anything, I was almost satisfied with myself until I heard a loud bang on the table...
"Danika!!! Are you trying to kill me or something, how dare you add nuts to my meal!!!" he suddenly screamed
Nuts!!!! I never added that, I knew he was allergic to them already.
He threw a hot plate at me and I almost dodged, but the plate smashed to pieces in front of me and as I tried to dodge it, a piece sliced my palm...
"I didn't add nuts to your meal Prince!" I said despite the stinging pain I was beginning to feel in my hands.
I immediately was looking for the prince's medication, but a maid beat me to it, and gave it to him, when he felt better I felt like I should explain myself, so I decided to speak but on a second thought I decided to keep my pride up, I mean a didn't do anything after all.
Desmond's POV
After I calmed down I expected and explanation from this woman her who supposedly added nuts to my meal, but she still kept that straight face and was not saying anything not even asking for and apology..
"Danika! You won't explain yourself!!" I screamed
"I have no explanation to make, I said I didn't add any nuts in your meal My prince" she said
The audacity!!! How dare she!!!
"Well then how do you explain the nuts in a meal you supposedly prepared, under your care!!!"
I was completely enraged at this princess
"Go and kneel in the front of the palace if you have no explanation to make!!!!"
I expected her to kneel, beg and apologize but instead this crazy maid obediently went to the front of the palace and knelt, I was so pissed off I went to my room enraged..
Narrators POV
It was 7 hours later, but Danika was still kneeling outside, people we're murmuring, anyone who saw her and knew she was formerly a princess, she looked pitiful, her clothes we're a mess and her knees were sore, Desmond had countlessly sent maids to tell her that if she just apologized, he would release her but she refused to apologize.
What was running in her mind was how to exonerate herself, she was determined to expose the person that set her up, no matter what she would not admit to what she did not do....
Dorothy was looking for a way to help her but found no way, she couldn't beg her brother because he was nowhere to be seen...
She then ran to Danika
"Danika, just apologize and he'll set you free, I know you didn't do it but at this point in time you could pass out"
"Danika, I'll prove my innocence, listen, there was no nuts in the meal, but tell him to interrogate the person who gave him his juice, there's something wrong with it, hurry now"
Her voice was low and weak.
Danika found her brother and told him the what Danika said......
