Let Me serve you, Prince!
Prince | Chapter 4
Alice entered the kitchen and it made all the servants shut up. They continued their work as if nothing had happened. They are all completely two-faced.
The next day, the Prince was assigned to serve for two days. It apparently made the servants more courageous act.
As Alice was cooking for her new creation, some servants began to dare to gossip about her.
“Which I heard, Alice could work in the palace because of the Prince's mercy. He didn't pass through a strict selection like us. So, what do you think Alice has given the Prince?”
Hearing that, Alice could only gulp and let them make a sound at will. Although his hands were clenched tightly, but he could not make a fuss that would later add to the problem.
However, it seems that Alice's patience bears sweet fruit. Anne, the butler suddenly appeared and defended her.
“Do you have no job but to demean others? What you despise is not only Alice, but indirectly you also denigrate the Prince, our future king,” said Anne who managed to silence the mouths of servants. “You can imagine if Prince Erland heard this? Perhaps your tongue will be hung in front of the palace gate before you are put in jail!”
The servants who were all women lowered their heads. Of course, they were afraid of the warning that Anne gave.
“I'm sorry, Anne! Forgive us, Alice!” said the servants compactly.
“Originally you know, Alice is the only servant who managed to make the Prince satisfied with his cooking. For the sake of the good and the future of the kingdom, you better shut up and let Alice work according to the Prince's orders!”
The incident in the kitchen that night, apparently became the subject of secret conversation among the servants. Not only the waiter of the kitchen, but also the waiter in the other part.
The information regarding the way Alice was received as a servant, also spread and it made envy in the hearts of the servants. They began to look at Alice with one eye and eventually Alice was shunned.
Once, while Alice was busy cooking, a waiter deliberately nudged Alice's body to make her almost exposed to a hot oil spill.
It was apparently known by Anne, and made her shout, “What are you doing?”
Alice did not want to make a scene. She had been hated so much that she did not want to until Anne punished the servant and made him even more hated.
“Anne, this was by accident. I'm fine, please don't punish him!” interjected Alice with reddened eyes holding back tears.
The waiter apologized and said that this was not an accident. As Alice continued to plead, Anne let go of the servant.
After the incident, Alice walked towards the Prince Erland's room carrying food as usual. He accidentally runs into another servant who happens to pass by.
Alice lowered her head with a smile, greeting the co-worker politely. Unfortunately, they even threw their faces away and pretended not to see Alice's whereabouts.
“So she's that special waitress?” whispered one of the servants.
Alice stopped her steps and sharpened her ears.
“Iya, an aspiring waitress becomes a concubine!” reply to others by whispering as well.
Alice's eyes reddened with anger and tears. She was not as low as they said, but Alice also had no evidence to deny. So, it is better to be quiet and let time prove what his character is like.
The prince caught something odd from Alice's gaze. However, due to his cold demeanor, the man did not want to ask Alice anything and let it go despite occasionally being caught in her eyes Alice was daydreaming.
After dinner, the Prince calls his assistant to investigate what happened to Alice. Until finally, the assistant reported the incident in the kitchen that made Alice shunned by the servants.
“Call Anne here!” prince Erland's orders were ignited by the flames of emotion.
As soon as Anne was brought into her room. He immediately scolded the butler who was not good at arranging the servants.
“You must rebuke them all, Anne. Keep your attitude and don't make any comments about me and Alice. Otherwise, they would all be sacked and punished according to the rules of the kingdom! Especially the waiter who already made Alice almost hit by an oil spill!”
Anne lowered her head and listened carefully to the Prince who was being overwhelmed with anger. Naturally the future king was angry, as the servant also offended Prince Erland for acting unfairly.
“Tell them all. From today, Alice is my personal servant. Because of Alice's cooking, I was able to regain my sense of taste, and enjoy each of her dishes without any worries. If anyone objects, have them face me! Don't antagonize Alice!”
Anne was shocked by the recognition of Prince Erland. He knows best about Erland's disorder, which in childhood had been poisoned until his tongue could not function.
However, even so, Anne remained obedient to the Prince's orders. He immediately announced to all the servants that from this moment on, Alice was the personal servant of Prince Erland.
“If you object, you can protest directly to the Prince,” Anne said ending her announcement.
The servants no one dared to comment. They were all completely silent without daring to look at Alice. They did have to bow their heads because as the crown prince's personal servant, Alice's position was much higher above theirs.
Hearing Anne's announcement, Alice felt both shocked and moved. He was very happy because the position meant that the prince appreciated his ability in cooking.
In gratitude to Prince Erland, tonight Alice cooked a very special meal. He also continued to smile while serving his cooking to the prince, making the young prince steal a glance while holding a smile.
As soon as the Prince finished his last bribe, Alice immediately swiftly picked up a tissue and said, “Thank you very much, Prince, already defended me. I promise it will work well and will not disappoint the Prince!”
Alice lowered her head and Prince Erland was seen smiling for a moment before returning to his usual attitude as Alice's head lifted again.
“Yes, no problem. Now just show me your ability as a personal servant,” replied the Prince who then rose from where he ate.
“Good, Prince!” sahut Alice sprightly and vigorously.
Alice quickly cleaned the Prince's dining table, not wanting Prince Erland to wait for him for too long. It made Prince Erland feel anxious and wanted to prank his personal servant a little. The prince asked Alice to come to his room.
Unsuspecting at all, Alice complied and entered the Prince's room. He tried to be calm even though his heart wanted to jump.
“Now help me clean up, Alice!” said the Prince who was currently standing with his back to Alice.
Alice gasped and her face turned red instantly. At that moment, the Prince turned around to look at Alice's surprised expression which he thought was cute and very sweet.
The prince tried to hold back a laugh, and was about to say that he was joking, but Alice quickly and swiftly returned to reply, “Well, Prince!”
Intentions wanted to prank Alice, but instead the Prince's heart raced quickly because of his own actions. Apparently, Alice's answer was beyond prediction and now she was confused herself.
Will Alice really do it?
