I can't believe this is happening again, it has been two weeks since we got married and my husband hasn't touched me once when I try to talk about it he always says.
"Sasha we can't rush these things let's wait for our marriage to settle."
What do you mean to settle? Maybe he doesn't love me enough to consummate our marriage?I gathered up courage, 'Sasha stop facing the ceiling and face him, you can't be living like this, if you can't have a child soon you will never help your husband.' I took my own advice and turned to face him, he was peacefully facing the other side, I boldly wrapped my hand on him and my leg on his hips, I breathed heavily on his neck.
He pushed my hand away. "I have a busy day tomorrow stop disturbing me and remove your lage on me I am tired."
"I am sorry." I was imbalanced and quickly turned away, tears willed up but I pushed them back. I made a mistake I was supposed to breathe slowly but I was so scared that my breathing rushed out.
Darius sat on the bed and started his so-called talk "remember when we just got married? I told you to wait, and you keep on insisting on sleeping together. If this goes on I will divorce you, what will you do then? Maybe you want to marry my dead brother? Or do you want to stay single for the rest of your life? Work up and face me when I am talking to you Sasha."
"I don't want to divorce Darius." I sat down with my eyes half closed.
"Good, then be a good girl and behave yourself."
"Darius do you still love me at all?"
"Of course I love you Sasha dear." He wiped my tears and for the first time ever since we got married two months ago I slapped in his arms.
"So how long should we hold off the consummation process?" I had to ask, it's not like I have a choice in the matter because both our families want an heir.
"Just two more weeks I promise I will make love to you ok?" He coxed me, it's always been like this for two months, two more weeks he says just like the last time we talked, the lamp which was stacked on my throat finally dissolved, but I still don't believe him.
" I will marry only you Sasha!"
"Sasha, will you marry me?"
"Our wedding night will be the best thing that will happen between us and you will remember it for the rest of your life."
I couldn't sleep thinking of the old days when Darius would talk about love all day, now looking at the man I married he is not that man at all. After our wedding he disappeared for two days. When he was finally back he was so drunk that he collapsed until the next morning.
*********
On the other side of the world.
"Sir everything is in place we are just waiting for your order."
"No it's not yet time."
"Boss what are we waiting for, what if we are discovered?"
"Hay Zero do you know that some people were just Born unlucky? Even if a blessing hits them in the face they will just brush it off and continue being a fool they always are?"
"Boss why are you trying to change the topic and I don't understand, who is this fool you keep mentioning?"
"Never mind tell the men that it won't be long now."
"Yes sir!"
" And Zero please call me by my name."
"Yes sir I understand sir."
"Even if it takes me a thousand years I will never understand you zero, I tell you to call me by my name and you call me sir twice?"
"So will I sir." The man namely zero left and the other man just shook his head.
******************
"Good morning my princess?"
" Good morning to you too, where is my husband?"
"The Prince has already gone hunting with the other prince's my princess."
"Did he say what time he is coming back? I wasn't informed of this."
"He said that he will be here for dinner princess."
"Ok good I will cook him something nice."
"That can wait until later my princess."
"Why is that?"
"Because it has been two months since you and Prince Darius got married." maid number one said.
"According to tradition, on the sixtieth day after the wedding the Prince goes hunting with the other Princes and the princess and neighboring princesses gather for a party." the second maid said.
"My princess you are the host." the third maid said.
"And why am I just being told today? Where are my maids?"
"Sorry my princess, we didn't know you weren't told, we are your replacement maid's sent by the queen, I don't know about the other maids either. You can call me Why Mi."
"You can call me Mercy."
"And I am Ever, please let us help you prepare for the princesses party it starts in three hours and don't worry the queen knew this will happen so she has arranged everything."
"I can't believe those maids, why are they surprising me like this? they didn't say anything and despaired like that?"
"My princess, I think it was your husband who was supposed to tell you that, not the maids."
My husband? I didn't even know he had a hunt with the other princes today, maybe he just forgot or something?
"My princess, Ever will help you take a bath."
"No Ever, just sit there, I will bath myself, you can just help me pick my outfit."
"I have never seen a princess bath herself before."
"In Silia we bathe ourselves, only my husband can help me bathe now that I am married."
"Wow I didn't know that your village is so different from our tradition my princess."
"Of course we are different the gap is as big as the end of the liver."
"Ever how long until the princesses party?"
"Only one more hour my princess what do you want to do with this few minutes?"
"I will go to the garden, get my Carriage ready. In thirty minutes we start off."
I wondered in the garden it's still missing a few flowers, my husband hates them so I can't bring them inside I simply admire them out here, when I have time I will add more flowers.
"Here are some of the flowers you requested, my princess."
"Thank you Mr B, please bring Irish and Daisy next time ok?"
"You are kind my princess I don't deserve your thanks." The man bowed his head and left.
"If there is anything in the world the queen likes are flowers, I didn't know you like them too my princess, Ever at your Service."
"You can invite the queen to come over for tea. I am sure she will be happy. Why Mi, reporting to princess Sasha."
"She will be delighted, princess.Mercy at your side the Carriage is ready."
"It's not at your side you fool it's at your service."
"Isn't that not your phrase ever? You do know that I am Mercy right?"
"Forget it teaching you it's like teaching a stone."
"Stop fighting the two of you can't you see you are delaying the princes?" Why Mi, pulled the two away from each other.
"How far is this place?"
"Not very far from here my princess Sasha, it is the old house of the queen." Why Mi, said looking at the two maids with Warning eyes.
"You do know that lying is bad right?" Mercy looked at Why Mi, in disbelief.
"The house belongs to the eldest prince who died fifteen years ago." Ever said
"Ever, that was supposed to be a secret." Why Mi and Mercy both hit the young Ever.
"Why are you biting me? I am now the princess maid I should be royal."
" We are sorry my princess, please forgive us,from today we will never hide anything from you and we will always tell the truth."
They all bowed their heads.The three maids are great. I like them, I didn't even understand what they were apologizing for.
Soon we arrived at the venue. The queen prepared this with her whole heart. It looked very beautiful.
"This is the queen's favorite place, ever since the price went missing."
