Chapter 13

'How could he think that I was trying to get him into my trap? I would have been going to do this in my previous life, but now it's different.'

Taya thought as she stared at the high buildings that seemed to be in front of them.

They were so close to the boundaries of the tulip lands, they would arrive in the evening if they were lucky.

"And all my tragedy has begun in this area; I have to make those who made me cry pay the price, and the first of them is you, Orig."

Taya whispered to close her eyes as her head tilted at the window of the cart.

The tulip lands were characterized by that winter climate over the course of six months a year, the snowy mountains that surrounded it from the southern and northern sides, and even that rugged part full of hills makes it difficult to enter from the western. 

In the middle of the city, Prince Orig Palace was located near the huge battlefield. Their palace was gigantic compared to the supreme ruler palace of Rose's seven kingdoms in the capital; it had many beautiful gardens. 

"The first prince of Tulip lands has arrived."

The gurd said when entering the convoy of Prince Orig, everyone in the kingdom heard about his marriage to a such charming woman from the capital.

When Taya got out of the carriage, he bent a little and carried her between his hands; her heart skipped two beats, and his swift movement surprised her.

"I can walk on my own."

She muttered, locking her arms around his neck.

He did not respond to her speech; there was a staircase of fifty steps to finish it before arriving at the main door of the palace. 

She was still lost in his scent; she did not notice that they were now inside the palace.

"There is no need for you to meet family members at the moment; until your ankle is okay, rest for the night, and tomorrow is a day."

She was immersed in thinking about how she was going to do those plans she wanted to do; Taya only realized this when Orig closed the door and left his room.

He walked slowly, staring at the room, cold and empty from his presence, as if he had not married her, as if this room was such a grave to her love flame. 

On her previous life, Orig used to spend all his nights with his mistress Meral, leaving the poor Taya staying at the servants room; she hated to mention or even think about those memories of her past. 

She stopped by the large window, staring at Orig; he was under the back yard, talking to some of his men. 

"I can't let you repeat your damned sins, Orig; you're no longer for anyone but me."

Taya was biting her lower lips; she was holding the curtain until it almost fell on her.

"I know that you did not get in a relationship with her until we got married, so I have to cut every feeling you might have for someone else; from today you will come to spend every night here with me; I won't allow that bitch to rob you of me."

Taya whispered as she pulled her hair back.

Someone knocked on the door, and she let him in while she was sitting on the chair with full charm. 

"Greetings, your grace, I am..." 

Before that maid continued her talk, Taya interrupted her, saying in pride: 

"You're Evail, right?"

Taya said in a cold voice, She remembers this maid who was expelled because she had given her food and drink when she was imprisoned by the Orig's stepmother in the prison.

"Yes, your grace, that's my name; Prince Orig appointed me to take care of you." 

Evail said, as she bent over to greet her nervously. She was sure she was meeting her for the first time. 

'Has Prince Orig told her my name?' Thought Evail to raise her looks up and glimpsed at that beautiful painting in front of her, that the prince's taste in women is amazing; it's less than just a charming one.

"Any way, I can help you to get rid of the second prince, Dollyo; I know that he is harassing you and sometimes imposing himself on you."

After hearing Taya's saying, Evail made sure that this woman knew more than she should, and that scared her, Evail started sweating and her blows were accelerating with every second. 

"I won't tell anyone about this, and I'll leave you to decide," 

Said Taya, she didn't expect Orig, to appointed Evail personally as her maid, since she was the worst in doing her work and was almost fired because of the second prince lust, but they kept her because it was his desire he wanted to play with her again.

"Don't be afraid of me, I'm here to give you back your favor," 

Said Taya, she never forgot the sacrifice that Evail had made for her in the past, Taya has already seen how the second prince was taking advantage of her, and only now she can correct the mistakes that surrounded the walls of this palace.

'What a favor, this lady is talking about' Evail though, Taya was not surprised by her reaction. 

"It's okay, what I want now is to change the decor of this room, everything here brother me, " Whispered Taya, staring at Evail She shook her head in the affirmative to get out of Taya's room. 

'Should I tell Prince Orig about all of this, come on, what's wrong with you, Evail? He ordered that all her requests should be fulfilled, hurry up before you lose your job'

Evail thought as she went down the stairs quickly, she didn't notice that the Queen was watching her.

That Taya married Orig and even his wedding was huge, yet he didn't brother himself to present his wife to the rest them.
