TAKEN 2

"I have worked in this fort for weeks now and never once have I heard the king lie. Who are you talking about?" She stood by the door staring at me with narrowed eyes and only then did I realize I had been talking about the wrong person all along.

"You only met the king last night, I'm sure he hasn't made any promises to you." Daphne stared at me with those interrogating eyes that irked me to my bone.

"Oh' no, I was referring to someone else. "You wouldn't understand." I smiled scrubbing my body with a piece of cloth to avoid her questions.

"Let me help with your back, my lady." She folded her sleeves and took the clothes from me to scrub my back.

"Did you by any chance meet another man, my lady?" I nodded at her words.

"I was taken by another that day." Daphne dropped the piece of cloth back into the water stepping out of the wash room. I had no idea why she ran like that but she got back closing the door to the behind her.
