[Bonus chapter] The Prince and the Maid

Crowned Prince Gordon 

It had been a week since I had been home and I had been going with Baba to parliament every single day. He had introduced me to all his ministers and I had to study everyone's name for the entire day and know them of by heart. 

When Baba said it was going to be the most grueling experience of my life, he was not kidding. We would leave early in the morning and come back late at night that most of the time I barely saw anyone. 

Even though my mind was occupied with work Asa had popped up in my mind multiple times. I had only seen glimpses of her for the past week and she became more and more beautiful. She mostly avoided me because the maids were never meant to be seen. 

When I did try to approach her, she would kindly respond to whatever question she had before scrambling away. I wished there was a way I could actually have a full conversation with her but how could I without scaring her?
