    room—the Toom she shared with Beth before Melody asked her to be herdy’s maid. “I they sent me


    here?” Doris asked weakly.


    Yes. Prince William asked for you to be moved here instead of the cell.” Beth smoothed out her nkets


    and brushed back her hair. Doris was relieved to see she was no longer in the dreadful prison attire, she


    was in her own night clothes. “He did?” Doris said, unable to keep the surprise from her tone. She was


    thrilled to be back with Beth. It made her feel so much safer and happier than any other ce in the


    entire kingdom could. “Yes, I think he wanted to make sure you had someone to take care of you. The


    pce gave me these days off to look after you.” Beth spoke gently. as if she were afraid her volume


    might hurt Doris’s ears. She was surprised to hear the pce allowed Beth to stray from her duties just


    for Doris, perhaps she was closer to death than she thought. “Prince Daniel came by twice already to

    slept much, he smiled down at Dons and cleared his throat. “I left you flowers earlier.” He gestured to the


    pink roses by her bed, Doris slowly turned herself to be the bouquet. “I picked them from the gardens, I


    saw you looking at them a few weeks ago so I took . guess that they might be your favorites.” “Oh my.“


    Doris whispered and lifted her fingers to brush across the petals. “They’re lovely. Thank you, your


    majesty.” *Please, call me Daniel.” He pulled up Beth’s chair so he could sit by the bed. “There’s no


    reason for you to call me your majesty or Prince Daniel in private.” Doris opened her mouth to object, but


    closed it after a moment and smiled at him. It was odd to even think of calling a prince by his first name,


    but Daniel was different. He’d been a friend before he was a prince to her.

    and took a breath. Daniel set down the battle and naved to grip her hand that wasn’t banda.ped. “Are


    you feeling okay?”


    Yes, the pain is fading a little. Thank you, your—” Prince Daniel gave her a look, she smiled. “Daniel.”


    **Did Prince Willian do that to you? Did he hurt you?” Daniel asked gently, though his eyes looked a little


    angry at the thought. Doris shook her head. *Prince Jack did, he wanted me to confess but 1 wouldn’t.”


    Doris said as she blinked away a few tears that threatened toe out. Nothing would be more


    embarrassing that crying in front of a prince. A sh of anger crossed Daniel’s features, for a moment


    she understood why he was a feared Warrior. When he was angry. even for a second, he looked


    murderous. His face cooled back to normal and he squeezed her hand. “I’m sorry this happened, I know


    it wasn’t you. I don’t care what any of them. say. I know you would never poison someone no matter how


    cruel they were to you.” Doris weakly squeezed his hand back, “I appreciate your support, truly. Thank


    you for standing up for me.” Daniel nodded, a fierceness in his gaze. “Of course. Always.”

    close, let alone two princes in the same day. Beth curtsied and hadded, quickly allowing the Crown


    Prince inside. Prince Martin stopped for a moment when he took in the sight of her. She bet she


    looked horrible, she couldn’t even imagine what kind of bruising her face suffered. After a breath, he


    stepped forward with a book gripped in his hand. “I wanted to see how you were feeling I’m sorry 1

    Prince Martin’s mouth lifted, he gestured to the stat by her bed. “May 1?” He asked, Doris nodded


    and he took his seat. “I brought you a book, I thought you might Now a bit bored in here.” “Oh! How


    kind.” Doris took the small book and smiled when she realized it was the same poetry book he


    adored. She nced up to see Beth watching them curiously. She would have thrown a pillow at her


    friend if she had more energy. “It’s one of my favorites, I got you a copy so you could read it as well.”


    Doris smiled as she flipped through the pages. Sadly, it seemed it was not the same copy he wrote


    notes upon. Though, he did write her name on the first page along with his own to indicate it was


    from him. Part of her heart warmed when she realized he must have purchased another copy so she


    could read it as well. Who


    knew the princes were so kind? She’d worked here in the pce for years and only recently had she


    discovered that two of the princes were pure gentlemen. “Thank you, Prince Martin. I really appreciate


    this.” Doris closed the book lightly and held it to her chest. He smiled at her, a light in his green eyes. “I


    also appreciate the time you stood up for me.” He waved away her words with a frown. “It didn’t do


    any good, clearly.” He said as his eyes raked over her injuries. *Prince Jack is quite persuasive when


    he thinks he’s right or when he wants something.” “Still, I’m thankful for your kindness. Not many people


    would stand up for a maid like me.” Prince Martin nced down at her bandaged hand before he met


    her eyes again. “Some people are worth it, no matter their titles.” He stood and brushed the wrinkles off


    his pants. “I hope you feel better soon, Doris. Perhaps I’ll see you in the library again.” Prince Martin


    turned to leave before she could say another word. The door closed and both of the girls stared at it for a


    moment in shock before they looked at each other. Beth grinned widely. “Are you sure there’s nothing


    between you two? I can practically feel the tension between you!” “Tension?” Doris said, confused


    “There’s nothing between us at all, Beth. He’s getting married to Lady Grace, remember?” “Yes, but do


    you know what he’s been doing for you? Beth took the seat Prince Martin had just used. “He begged


    Luna Queen to let you go when you were in prison. Every single day he tried to convince her to release


    you, as did Prince Daniel.” “They did?” Doris nced at the door he’d just left


    through -Yes! But…” Beth nced back at the door as well to make sure it was closed. “Surprisingly.
