Chapter 4
- Hazel's POV
- " The Prince wants his apple pie right now, why are you so slow? "
- " Right away Madam Xenia "
- I tried to get the pie tray but it was so hot.
- I almost burn my hand again.
- Umera came from nowhere to grab it and served it so Madam Xenia can take it.
- " I don't know how you know such a disaster Umera, Try to learn something useful from him "
- She harshly said then left, Umera grabbed my hands to check on them.
- " Don't worry, I didn't burn them this time "
- I said half laughing half crying.
- " I'm a complete disaster, aren't I ? "
- I said while my eyes become blurry.
- " You're perfect Hazel, don't mind her "
- Umera said while hugging me.
- Umera is my lover,
- And I,
- lost my memories.
- ......
- " Now have some sleep, your body still healing "
- Umera said placed me softly on our bed.
- I had a bad accident three months ago.
- My knees were injured badly, my arm was broken, my head lost a lot of blood.
- Umera said he ran with me on his back to all the doctors in the kingdom.
- The only one who agreed to treat me was the prince's personal doctor.
- His name is Joen.
- He was kind enough to give us a job here at the castle as chef helpers.
- Umera says that I liked to cook before I lost my memories but I highly doubt that.
- I don't know anything about cooking.
- ................
- " Are you going to sleep for the rest of your life, stand up now! "
- I woke up because of Xenia's screaming as always, I didn't even want to sleep, but just to rest my legs.
- " The Prince ordered to see who cooked the Apple pie, which is you, I hope he gets you fired, or better, killed! "
- She said while laughing I rolled my eyes then got dressed.
- I know the prince won't harm him, he is so kind, all he cares about is alcohol.
- Maybe he cares about me a little too, just saying.
- ......
- " She is here my prince "
- Xenia said, I entered the prince room, hoping Umera isn't near, he gets so jealous wherever I go.
- " Oh, it's you, Hazel, the injured lady who came with the muscular man "
- The Prince said, good he is not drunk.
- I kneeled before him to answer.
- " It's me, my prince, sorry if you didn't like the Apple pie, I'll do better next time. "
- I felt the prince stand up, I looked at him coming towards me.
- " Such a beauty, how a Hazel like you ended in this terrible place "
- He was trying to touch my face but I stepped a step back.
- " You don't need to be on guard with me, I won't harm you "
- " I know my prince, you're a kind person "
- " I said don't call me prince before right? Please call me Alex "
- He took another step and I stepped back to touch the door handle.
- " I have some dishes to do if you excuse me "
- He put his hand on the door so I couldn't open it.
- " Hazel, your pie was better today, I don't want to eat from any hand but you, you make my food so sweet and delicious "
- He whispered in my right ear, I was terrified but he backed away finally.
- " Don't refuse me next time, I'm not much of a patient "
- He said then I opened the door quickly and ran to the kitchen.
- ..........
- " He becomes crazier and crazier, how should I reject him "
- I was talking to myself, when I entered the kitchen I found Umera in Infront of me, he came to hug me, worried.
- " Where were you? I thought you left me, I thought you ran away, I thought they killed you I-.. "
- " Hey hey, calm down, I'm okay alright, don't worry"
- He panics every time I'm away from him for more than fifteen minutes.
- " Where did you go? "
- I made him sit to look at his terrified face, honestly, he looks like a baby, a handsome baby, but a terrified one.
- I don't know what happened to him to be this way, I think it's by accident.
- " Oh, you worry about me so much, do you love me?"
- I tried to mock him and sat on his lap, his panicked face calmed a bit, his silver eyes were glowing.
- I kissed his left eye and hugged his head.
- " I was in the prince room, but only for 15 minutes, you don't have to worry"
- He broke the hug slowly to look at me.
- " Now you make me more worried, you don't know how this bastard looks at you "
- Umera is so angry right now, so cute.
- " You know he looks at all the maids the same way, he can't try anything with me, you taught me how to fight, remember? "
- He kissed my neck then rested his head on my shoulder.
- " I want you "
- I blushed and looked around me, I made him stand and he pushed me while kissing to our room.
- .........
- After two hours I was relaxing my body beside Umera, we were looking at the chandler.
- " Learning how to defend yourself doesn't make me less worried Hazel "
- He said and I grabbed his hand, thinking.
- " I know Umera you had a bad memory that made you that way, I wish you told me what happened "
- I whispered and looked at him to see him crying.
- I flipped over quickly to touch his face.
- " Don't cry, Umera please, don't, I'll stop talking about the past, please forget all the bad things "
- " I'm sorry "
- He said while crying harder, I hugged him.
- " Shh, you're alright, I'm alright "
- Guess I'll never know what happened that day.
- " I love you "
- He said and hugged me back, every time he says that my heart hurts.
- But I know, I love him, I do.
- " I love you too "
- " Don't leave me "
- " I won't "
- " Don't abandon me "
- " I won't "
- .........................
- I woke up early to look at Umera's peaceful sleeping face.
- His eyes are swollen because he cried a lot, I can't help it, he always likes that when I mention the past.
- But I need to know.
- That's why I had to act on my own.
- ............
- I dressed quickly after a bath, went to the prince's meeting room.
- " Prince Alex, it's Hazel"
- " Just on time Hazel, you may enter "
- I entered to find two maids in his office and one doing him a shoulder massage.
- " If it's not the right time I'll leave "
- I said quickly bowing but he pushed the girls.
- " It's always the right time for you Hazel, please come here, sit, you three, leave! "
- He pointed to the maids and they were passing.
- " How a handsome prince likes a Sl*t like you "
- " You think you're special? He will throw you after doing you "
- " You're a cheap "
- I ignored them with a polite smile and sat on the chair.
- They finally left and closed the door, the prince was wiping his office, pouring some wine inside two cups.
- " Drink some, sweet Hazel "
- He put the cup in front of me, and he had already drunk his.
- " I'd like to stay super my prince, did you search what happened to me that night "
- I said while trying to maintain my body from shivering.
- " Offcourse Hazel, I already searched a lot about you, but as I told you before, everything came with a price, I don't work for free "
- Kind prince indeed.
- I gulped while looking away from him.
- " What do you want? "
- I said and he placed the wine in Infront of my face.
- " Every time you obey me, I'll tell you something that I know about you "
- He said and I grabbed the wine to drink it in one shot.
- " Wow, you're a good drinker, you were from the west village named under, Hersana "
- He said while pouring another drink for me.
- " Really? What happened to the village? Wh- "
- He handed me the wine again and I drink it.
- " You were working as a farmer, collecting vegetables to deliver it to this castle "
- My head is a bit dizzy.
- " W, I was a farmer? Did I have a family? "
- " It's hot, isn't it? Let's take off some clothes "
- He said while taking off his suit, I nodded while my head is spinning.
- I took off my dress I almost fall but he caught me.
- " Your whole village got burned that night, no animal, person, crop, is alive"
- He said while hugging me.
- " What? , W, what are you doing? "
- " I'm dancing with your honey, I'm doing what I won't remember? "
- I'm so dizzy that I'll fall, I'm hugging him so much so My legs won't betray me.
