I followed the maid quietly , not uttering a word to her , also because my mind was blank to even conversate

She looked around in her late 30's , she stood upright , her hands folded up front in a form of elegance , her hair was black with a few strands of grey visible

She walked me down the long hallway towards to a room at the end , a huge wooden door that was pushed open by her

I've never been to this part of the castle , mainly because this wing was meant for the nobles and clergy , these titles were chased out of the castle and only filled with people from the new King's rule

The room was big and spacious , filled with open windows which made fresh air fill the room , a row of different bibles set on a shelf , definitely a room belonging to a clergy member

She ushered me near another door
Which I presumed was the bathroom , on the huge bed was my satin night gown which was abit too short for my liking

"This way" the maid cleared her throat to get my attention , I jumped awake from my headspace and walked to the bathroom entrance

The bathroom yet again was spacious and a single tub in the middle , the maid opened the golden faucets and added bath essence and salts

Her eyes drifted up to me , waiting and watching me , "well?" She smiled , I gave her a questioning look and she laughed aloud

"Take off your clothes" she ushered , my eyes grew big in shock , was she planning on bathing me ????

"I don't bath with anyone-"
"It's a rule from King Namjoon , you are not aloud to be alone , I'm sorry" she got straight to it and I let out a sigh of irritation

I hadn't had a bath In a while and I was in desperate need for it , with a roll of my eye , "could you turn around?" I asked and she nodded politely before elegantly turning her back to me

Her posture was so nice , unlike me who needs constant back rest so I don't hunch which I usually do (me)

I stripped quickly and climbed into the tub , the maid turned immediately and grabbed a scrubber and began her job

Thankfully only washing my back and my hair , "why are you following this cruel man?" I whispered , the words bouncing off the water and the walls making me sound loud

"King namjoon?" She asks and I hum a yes in response "he isn't cruel" she replied and I choked at her words

"He took over my father's kingdom and killed so many " I stated and she agreed "yes I agree the killing part is abit gruesome however princess , this kingdom rightfully belonged to him had you said yes those many years ago" she spoke

Her words hurt , not like she intended to but it was the truth

"You were suppose to marry him but you refused not because it was your choice but because it was out of your childish emotions , and because of your answer it led to war , your kingdom killed many of King Kim's kingdom and was banished to the lands of death and darkness , here Namjoon also lost his parents due to the disgrace they were put through"

"How do you know all this ??" I turned to look up at her "Because i was there to witness it first hand , i looked after Namjoon when they were banished and the poor boy didnt handle it all very well"

So this wouldn't have all happened if I just said yes ??
