The Love of a Prince

Chapter 26. Surprised Mama

Ara is fine Mama, there was just a little unexpected incident earlier in the restaurant." Answer Laura.

Mama frowned, confused by Laura's words. "Insiden how do you mean ? what's with the face and why are you wearing a suit ? whose suit is this ?" Questions from Mama.

"This is Edward Mama's suit, he lent it to me to cover my torn clothes." Laura replied while glancing at Edward who was just silently observing, would answer if asked.

"Tear ? what do you mean your clothes were torn ? Mama doesn't understand Ara anymore."

Laura took a deep breath and slowly pulled Mama towards the sofa in the living room.

"We better talk while sitting down." Said Laura calmly so that her Mama did not panic as soon as she heard the story.

"All right, Mama heard, tell me from the beginning." Mama said as soon as they had sat down, while Edward was still standing in his place not far from them.

"Edward and I headed to the restaurant where I had agreed to meet Charlotte for dinner. All was well until I went to the ladies' room and met a woman who claimed to be Prince Albert's lover. The woman was angry and raged at me, she said that I had taken her lover.

"I've explained to the woman that I never took her lover. I explained that we were only in a match, but the woman still did not want to hear my explanation and vent her emotions to me.

"I tried to defend myself, but the woman was very brutal. Besides not being able to dodge her slap and grip on my hair, the woman also managed to tear my dress apart." Laura explained at length.

Mama reflexively covered her mouth with both hands, surprised upon hearing the story from Laura.

"Oh my God, why would something like that happen to you, baby. Isn't Edward with you ?" mama asked confusedly, looking at Edward.

"His incident in Mama's woman's toilet, it would have been worse if Edward hadn't caught up with me to the ladies' room." Obviously Laura while glancing at Edward who was just silent in his place stood up.

"Ara's fine, Mama, please don't tell Papa this." Pinta Laura added.

"How can you hide this from Papa Mu Ara ? look at your appearance, your face is bruised like that and it won't go away in a day." Mama said confused.

"Why can something like this happen to you, baby." Mama added not suspecting.

"This is how it would be if I was betrothed to a playboy guy." Mumbled Ara with a grim face.

"What did you just say, baby ?" Mama asked not clearly hearing Laura's words.

Laura shook her head. "It's nothing Mama."

"You better get up to your room to change your clothes and rest. Mama's gonna give you a cold compress for your bruise."

"Well Mama, Ara go upstairs first." Laura said as she stood stepping closer to Edward, returning Edward's suit to her.

"Thank you Edward." Laura said sincerely.

Edward reached out, took his suit. "Together Miss Laura, it has become my duty." Edward's convinced.

Laura nodded in understanding and turned away stepping towards the stairs while Mama walked towards the kitchen.

Once inside her room, Laura immediately cleaned herself and changed her clothes. There was a knock on the door after the open door, Mama entered with a cold compress in her hand.

"Let Ara alone compress Ma."

"All right." Mama said while giving Laura a cold compress.

Mama was still standing in place, watching Laura compress the bruise on her cheek. "Mama is fine." Laura again reassured Mama who seemed not to intend to go out.

Mama took a long breath. "Alright, Mama get out first. You just take a break after this, tomorrow morning Mama will have the waiter deliver your breakfast to the room so you don't have to meet your Papa tomorrow morning."

Laura headed to her dressing table then sat facing the mirror and started compressing the bruises on her cheeks.

That woman must have loved Prince Albert so much that she was reckless to do this to me. I actually feel sorry for that woman, she loves a man who never had a serious relationship with any woman.

Laura said inwardly while compressing her face. Already feeling better, a while later Laura stopped compressing her face. He stood up and walked towards the bed.

"What a tiring day." Laura muttered as she pulled the blanket to sleep.

The day changed from dark to light, the sun began to show itself. All members of the George family had gathered at the dinner table for breakfast except Laura.

"Let's start breakfast." Bring Mama

"Where is Ara, Mama?" ask Papa.

"Ara is not well, let her sleep longer. Mama's gonna have the waiter deliver her breakfast in the room after we have breakfast." Mom explained.

Papa nodded in understanding. "Well then, we'd better have breakfast now."

They started breakfast without Laura, while enjoying their breakfast suddenly heard the front doorbell of the house.

There were the footsteps of the waiter who walked forward to open the door.

"Late - late this we often have guests in the morning." Papa complained a little, annoyed with guests who did not know the hours to come to visit.

"Maybe the important thing, so the guest came this early." My mother said with a positive thought.

The waiter walked up to them, intending to tell the identity of the guest who came.

"Who are the guests ?" Mother asked first.

"Prince Albert, Mistress. Guests coming Prince Albert." The servant replied, repeating his words.

Papa frowned. "Prince Albert ? what's the matter of him coming so early to our house ?" Said Papa asking in surprise, got up standing stopping his morning breakfast intending to go outside to meet the honored guest.

Mama also stood up, following Papa from behind to the front room while Bella continued her breakfast.

Seen Prince Albert was sitting on the sofa waiting for the arrival of the host, Papa walked over.

"Sorry to keep you waiting a long time, Prince Albert. We're having breakfast so make you have to wait." Papa said kindly as soon as Prince Albert turned his head, realizing their arrival.

"It's okay Mr. George and Mrs George, I should apologize for coming so early and interrupting your breakfast time."

"It's okay, Your Majesty." Mama smiled kindly.

"If you may know there is an important thing what makes you come to our residence early in the morning like this ?" ask Papa curiously.

"It's not Mr. George's job, I just came to see my fiance Laura." Answer Prince Albert.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but Laura is currently unwell so may not be able to see you." Mama interrupted, telling me.

"I came here because I wanted to see Laura."

"Who told you that Laura was unwell ?" mama asked wonder mixed in curiosity.

"Edward told me."
