Let Me serve you, Prince!
Prince | Chapter 15
Prince Erland was looking at the face of Alice who was sound asleep beside him. He stroked the pretty face, then gave a warm kiss there.
“I won't let anyone hurt you, Alice!”
After saying that, Prince Erland came out of the room and sat down at the dining table. He gave a signal to his shadow bodyguard.
The shadow guard was a special bodyguard, or rather a secret bodyguard trained secretly by the Prince of Erland outside the King's knowledge.
The secret guards entered through the window that the Prince had opened, without making a sound. It was so quiet that it felt as if no one had entered the room.
“You must get ready because the King has moved!” prince Erland shouted at the guards.
Those six truly chosen people, both nodded. Then, one of the people who became their chairman asked, “Your Majesty, what happened?”
The prince let out a rough breath with a furrowed forehead. “It looks like the King is already suspicious of something. I caught the wrinkle of the King's eyebrows at dinner last night. And, I saw the King observing Alice!”
“What should we do, Your Majesty?” ask the head of the secret guard who has always carried out his duties very well.
The prince seemed to think for a moment, before finally answering, “Strictly guard, and do not let anything be suspected! The king must have had Butler keep an eye on this palace!”
The prince looked very tense. His relationship with Alice, was clearly an offense. Under the rules of the Warlingtoon kingdom, a prince was not allowed to enter into a relationship with a servant. Except, if the prince is married and his servant will be appointed as concubine.
However, the concubine and the prince's main wife in the kingdom of Warlingtoon would certainly have different rights. The concubine was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the kingdom because she was only used as a symbol as a servant of the Prince's bed.
Of course Prince Erland did not want to make Alice as a concubine. She wanted Alice to be the main wife because her heart was already linked to the girl.
“Send this message to Assistant Jo too! You should also keep an eye on Alice!”
The bodyguards nodded in understanding, and finally left the prince's room quickly and without making any noise.

After a few days passed, the king's butler came back to the King to report his spy findings.
“So how?” asked the King with a tense face. He was suspicious and worried about his son's safety. Because, if something happens with the Prince of Erland, there will be a big problem and there may also be a rebellion to fight for the throne.
“Your Highness, our spies get nothing. The bodyguard that His Majesty saw at that time, was indeed the bodyguard of the selection that Assistant Jo had done recently. While the personal servant of the Prince, he was the servant of the Prince's own choice who was able to make the Prince's tongue again feel, through the servant's cooking. The rest, they just work as usual,” explains Butler at length.
The King was a little confused by Butler's explanation. Is it possible that the one he felt before was just a strange feeling, which just happened to perch in the head due to being too affectionate towards the Prince?
“What is that all?” ask the King again.
“Nothing, Your Grace. Except ...”
“Except what?”
“Except the now replaced prince's palace maid. Prince has fired the butler before.”
The king was surprised not to play. Anne's been working since the late queen sent her to guard the prince's palace. The king also knew Prince Erland loved his mother very much, so why was Anne, who was the trusted servant of the late queen, to be sacked by the Prince?
“Call Prince to face me!”
