Chapter 36 I need her toe with me
Doris telt his warm breath Caress the back of her neck when she woke the next morning. His sum Wie
will draped across her, but no longer held her
STTM he did the night before. She silently wondered how she would get herself out of this bed without
wakime the beast. She was positive the moment he remembered what happenedst night, he would
shove her out of his bed with disgust. He had a moment of something that felt like a sort of kindness, but
it wasn’t something she tristed. Though, not once in the night had she woken from fear like she expected
to. She slept… peacefully. She was certain she would wake and realize it was all one big dream11 A
sharp knock startled the prince awake. His sleepy
aze raked over her once before he pushed himself up and out of bed. Doris quickly rolled out of his
sheets and straightened her clothes as best she could. It wasn’t odd for her to be found in his room since
she was serving him for the night, but it would be odd to be found in his bed. Thest thing she needed
was more rumors about her intentions. with Prince William.. Doris hurried to the door while Prince
William draped a morning cloak over his night clothes. She winced a little as the pain ignited after a few
steps and opened the door. “Good morn—” Doris almost choked on her words when she saw the king
himself standing on the other side of the door. Doris bowed her head low . “Good morning, your
highness.”
“Father. He said. Daris Hiletely hulled the straightened herself and went to make his bed, what dowe
the pleasure of this early visit? King Charles lifted his chinas he stared at Prince William who had still not
invited him inside. He stepped in any way and close the daor behind himn. Doris wished she had woken
earlier, then perhaps she wouldn’t have been here when the king arrived. “I came to ask when you n
to leave for the north.” “I hape to be gone by nightfall” Prince William said as he leaned against the
mantle of the firece across from his father: If Prince William wasn’t so pompaus, she would have
admired how handsome he looked fresh out of bed. A part of her started to crave the small glimpses
where he looked a little rogue. His hair was a mess and his clothes were wrinkled from sleep, she felt her
face heat as she tore her gaze away from him before she started to notice the lines of his muscles again.
Doris quickly busied herself by preparing tea for the two royals. “You don’t have to do this, 501. It’s not
safe to travel to the north with your title. You know how desperate the rogue packs would be to get their
hands on you.” Prince William scoffed. “You think Luni Queen will stop trying to pin the me on
everyone she sees if I don’t? Clearly Martin and Jack are sale from her usations, she’d never pin the
me on her own sons. Have you thought about Daniel and I? I heard Prince Jack was asking around to
know if I had anything to do with the poisoning! And not to mention what he did to Doris”
Prince William stopped short, his gaze flicicered over to Doris and hardened the second she looked at
him. Doris quickly looked away when King Charles tumed his own curious gaze towards her. Why would
he bother bring up what Jack did to her? She supposed it only further proved what a monster Prince
Jack was, but she doubted the king cared what had happened to her. “IF Jack was willing to torture -naid
for false information because Luna asked him to, who knows what else he will do to get an answer.”
Doris could already tell Prince William’s mood was darkening from just his tone. King Charles stated
himself on one of Prince William’s velvet chairs. Doris took the opportunity to serve them both a cup of
tea while it was still hot. “You shouldn’t travel alone, I’ll make sure some of the best guards apany
you.” Prince William sat across from King Charles and took a long sip of tea. King Charles nodded his
head in thanks to Doris when she carefully handed him his own. “You know, I think it would be a good
idea for Doris here to go back to the library full time. I heard some of the books miss her.” The king said
with a slight smile towards Doris. She flushed under his kindness and smiled widely. Prince William
mmed his cup on the table so hard, she was surprised it didn’t crack in half. “Since when do you care
what a maid does?” Prince William’s features turned to stone as he stood. “Did Martin suggest she return
to the library?” King Charles watched him calmly as if he were just a child having a tantrum. “Would it
matter who did, son?” Prince William’s eyes flickered to Doris, she furrowed her brows when he frowned
at her. “I need her toe with me to the north.”
Doris Wand she wasn’t holding anything because would have mil certainly dropped it fram his words.
King Charles tilted his had slightly in question “Why are you requesting a maid join you on your damous
journey to the north?”
Prince Jack and Luna Queen still see that as guilty. 1 think it would only be right for her to have toe
along and prove her innocence.” Daris parted her lips to object, but no sound came out. She wouldn’t
dare deny a prince in front of the king but her insides were screaming at her to say no. Why would he
want her to go? She would only slow the trip down, if anything. Doris cleared her throat, both men looked
at her. “I -Excuse me for speaking out of turm, but I don’t have any clothing suited for the show to visit
the marth = “Nonsense, we have plenty of clothing for you to use in the pce.” Prince William waved
away her words and turned his attention back to his father
“We’re leaving tonight, so you can tell your son to find a new pretty thing to stare at while he wastes his
days in the library.” King Charles looked almost amused at his son’s words. She was sure he was used
to his disrespectful manner. Doris didn’t think she would ever be. Why would he even care if Prince
Martini had requested her back to the library? He probably only did so because he’d felt bad for all Doris
had been through thesest few weeks. “I hope you know what you’re doing son.” King Charles said and
stood with a grunt. Doris quickly cleared away the dishes just to give her hands something to do. “Will
you be here for dinner, at least?”
“That depends on how long our visit with my
mother will inice.
Supposed toe with him to visit his motherHan cleared his throat and strughened his cloak Teli your
mother hello for me and I hope she’s doing

*You could tell her yourself sometime.” Prince william started to raise his tone but cooled it at thest
second. King Charles narrowed his eyes a little before he turned to leave. Prince William’. shoulders
deted a little as if he’d released the rest of the fight inside him as he watched his father go. It was odd
to witness such intimate moments for the prince, it almost made her see him more like a person rather
than just a nasty beast. Almost. King Charles stopped at the door and took onest long look at Prince
William. “Stay safe, son.” Neither of them said anything when the door clicked shut. Doris was unsure
what she should even say-what could she say? He just demanded Doris to join him on one of the most
dangerous trips anyone could think of taking and she wasn’t allowed to object. Prince William finally
turned to look at her. “What are you just standing there for? Go ready yourself and huity back before the
hour is up.”
