Chapter 27

Elsa woke up in the morning to find the bed empty, the prince was always an early person but today his side of the bed was very cold indicating that he didn't sleep with her. The prince must have slept in one of the rooms in the palace she thought. Her black eyes looked at the window where sun rays were about to be seen. White flowers decorated the window making it appear calm.

Going to stand infront of the mirror she looked at her image. She was pregnant carrying Calvin's child. She had to look for a way to make the prince accept the baby infront of everyone. She knew Aiden very well that he was not going to stay still and watch. If by any chance Aiden was to know that this child belonged to Calvin it was hard to predict what would happen. She was going to use the baby in her womb for her own selfishness.

A maid knocked on the door so that she could help Elsa prepare herself. Once the maid was done the queen came to take her. Queen Marsha had promised to take care of Elsa alongside the unborn child so that no dark witch would cause harm.

" I can't see Aiden where is he?" Looking around the room she asked.

" He left while I was sleeping," it was not a lie though.

" Let's go he will join us later." Queen Marsha helped Elsa and together they left the room.

Aiden arrived in the room and cleaned himself quickly before going to join his parents. In the dinning hall, there were people who came to visit them and congratulate them no congratulate Elsa because he was not the father of the child. Those that were there included his parents,,Elsa and her parents, lady Siera and Calvin and his parents.

Greeting everyone he sat down to join them in eating. He kept quiet and only spoke when a question was thrown at him. His change in mood made his parents to wonder what had actually happened. He was supposed to be happy but instead he was grumpy.

When the meal was served with the help of the butler and Anastasia, they began eating in silence. Aiden wanted to know who was responsible for the pregnancy but he was not going to ask Elsa,he was going to make someone inform him on everything that she did. He was sure Sophia was going to help.

" I think from today onwards, Elsa should have a personal maid who will help her and also accompany her anywhere she went." Aiden broke the news.

Calvin and Elsa did not like what Aiden was trying to do at any cost, " why would I need a maid to keep on following me? You know how much I hate those people beneath me"

" Due to your condition and this being your first pregnancy we won't risk anything, and it was not a suggestion but a command." Aiden knew she wanted to be alone so that she could meet the man she loved.

Queen Marsha nodded her head and assured her that everything would be okay.

" Then I will choose the maid by myself." Elsa suggested to which Aiden nodded. If Aiden was going to prison her then he was very wrong.

Once the meal was over, Aiden excused himself saying that he needed to do something important. Leaving and on his way he met Sophia who was carrying dirty clothes that needed to be washed. It was good that he met her. Stopping in front of her, he asked her to follow him. Nodding her head, Sophia placed the dirty clothes somewhere before following him. Reaching his study room he asked her close the door.

Sophia wondered what the prince needed from her because if it was the bracelet then he already had it. Talking about the bracelet, maybe he wanted to return it.

" I want you to do me a favour," Aiden stopped to look at her which she nodded. " I know it will be a difficult task but I trust you can surely do it."

Taking a deep breath, " Elsa will be selecting a personal maid, I would like you to behave innocent and dumb so that she chooses you. If you will be lucky I would like you to inform me on everything that she does. Whoever she meets, wherever she goes and whatever she does. "

Sophia wondered how she was going to inform him. She could not speak and here he was making her do all the work.

" I know that you can speak so start using your voice but only when you are with me." Aiden knew that the girl could speak and she was the best candidate.

Aiden raised his hand and showed her to come closer to where he was. Sophia hesitated making Aiden annoyed.

Seeing her not trying to move he stood up from his seat and walked to where she was which wasn't far. Towering over her, he lowered his head and placed it on her shoulder. He could feel her tremble and this made him to continue. He was enjoying her warmth and scent which he did not understand why.

When Sophia tried to relax her heart he felt the prince place his lips on her neck earning a sigh from her. When she thought that the prince was going to stop he went ahead and sucked her neck tenderly before leaving a bite mark. Satisfied he left her, he himself did not understand what was wrong with him.
