Chapter Three
Richard’s POV
I was baffled, I could barely sleep throughout that night. I was thinking about the lady I danced with. Who was she? Why did she leave without telling me her name? How was I going to find her again?
Standing up, I raised the curtains up and picked up her neckline from the cupboard. It came off her neck when she fell down during the dance.
I didn’t know how I was going to find her and I was really bothered. I dropped the neckline on the cupboard and walked out of the room.
I went down the stairs and found everyone at the dining table. “Hi son,” my dad called out with a smile.
Sitting down at the dining table, I smiled at him. “Good morning, dad. I hope you slept well.”
“We thought we should ask you that question. After last night, we thought you might not be able to sleep. We’ve sent out words to the whole people to look for the girl and we’ll find her before you know it.” My mom assured me.
I really hoped they would find her and I just couldn’t wait for them to travel out of the country. It was supposed to be today that they would leave the country and I didn’t know why they hadn’t said anything about it.
They could leave the country for now, I didn’t care about the girl either. I just wanted to have fun and get great sex slaves when they leave. I’ve been deprived of sex for a long time and I just couldn’t wait to find a sex slave.
“Thank you Mom.” I murmured
My dad cleared his throat as he took his bread and tea. “We’ll be leaving this afternoon and we don’t know when we’ll be back but it might take up to two weeks and more. Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?”
Definitely no! Why would I even think of going with the old man when I wanted them to leave? I couldn’t do what I freely wanted and it was very bad.
“No, I’ll stay here just in case they find the girl from the ball last night. It’s best if I stay here.”
They nodded. “Yeah, it’s a smart idea. We’ll just leave you to handle things here and we are sure you can do it.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I was so glad they trusted me and it helped. After the dinner, I went on a walk with my special adviser and best friend James. He was one of the people I trusted in the palace and he helped me with anything I couldn’t do.
“Any news about the sex slaves I need?”
He ran a hand through his hair. “I’ve discussed it with someone and they know a family who wants to sell their daughter to us.”
I was surprised. What family would want to sell their own daughter to become a sex slave? “How much?”
“Not much, they don’t even mind if you take her for free.”
Now this was more surprising. She definitely wasn’t their daughter and that was why they wanted to get rid of her. She could be their adopted daughter or their housemaid.
“I don’t think they gave birth to her. No responsible family would want their daughter to be a sex slave.”
He gave my words a second thought and nodded. “I think you’re right. They’re probably not the parents of the girl, I’ll be discussing with them tonight and if everything works out well. We’ll bring her to the palace this evening to be your sex slave.” He replied.
I was finally glad I was getting a sex slave after many years. I couldn’t do without sex and I couldn’t leave the palace to get any. I didn’t even have a girlfriend and I wasn’t that interested in relationships.
I went back to the palace and found a maid. I didn’t want to be too violent on her but I was so in the mood. After calling her, I discovered it was a bad idea and sent her back to room.
This was really a huge burden, I just couldn’t wait for my new slave to arrive. I wondered if I was ever going to see the girl at the party again, I never really saw her real face because of that stupid mask. Why did they have to make it a masquerade ball?
I didn’t even know if I was going to see her again. I felt a sharp connection the moment I set my eyes on her. It was like she was different from all the girls in the hall, her beautiful gown just made her surpass the rest of the girls.
And dancing with her couldn’t have been any more fun, I felt it as a way to get to know her but I didn’t know why she ran out that way. It was too early and I wanted to get to know her more.
Few minutes later, my dad came in pulling his luggage behind him. He was here to bid goodbye and probably advise me. I wished he didn’t come but there was nothing I could do.
“Hey dad, are you about to go?”
He nodded and gently sat on the bed. “Yes, my son. I want you to take care of the palace, I don’t want you to do what other princes are doing. I want you to get married before you have sex with anyone because I’m sure you’re still a virgin.”
Okay, this man was kidding me right now. A virgin? I had never been so embarrassed and I tried desperately to hide it. I was never a virgin and this was the truth.
“Of course dad, I would never give up my virginity for any reason. I love this palace so much that I would only do that when I get married to the woman I love.”
He smiled.
This was one of the reasons I was so impatient for him to leave with Mom. I could do no or less things when they are around. It was like a prison instead of a palace.
And now, they were traveling for weeks and I couldn’t be happier. I was going to dominate everyone in the palace and show them my strength and abilities.
