FORTY-TWO

IRIS'S POV.

It was two hours past dinner time and I knew he wasn't going to come today too. But I was tempted to leave the food as it was. Just in case what happened the other day repeated itself.

It wasn't likely though. I just hoped he came in and ate something. That way at least I wouldn't have to worry that he was starving.

I had finished taking my bath and was brushing my hair when Betty rushed into the room panting. I groaned. Did they not hear me when I said I didn't need their help anymore ? Why was she back?

"Why are you here again? I thought I told you to go make yourself useful elsewhere. I am fine. I can take care of myself ok."

I said without looking back at her.

"Princess...I'm sorry to disturb you but I think you would like to know that the Prince heads for the chamber as I speak. "

I wasn't sure I heard her right. I was on my feet before knowing.

"Which Prince? Regan?"
