Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 4

#Chapter 4 Prince Martin?

“To celebrate Prince Martin’s upcoming marriage, there’s going to be an amnesty signed by the Alpha King. I heard that both of our names are on the list among many others!” Beth grinned in delight, Doris gasped and grabbed her friends’ hands.

“Are you serious? Our names on the list? You mean we might have our freedom soon?” Doris bounced a little on her toes as she squeezed Beth’s hands. All the places they could visit! All the things they could do! “You’re not lying, are you?”

“Why would I ever lie about that!” Beth laughed. “Unless you were truly hoping to marry a prince so you could stay at the Golden Palace forever.” She teased.

Doris cringed at her words, “I assure you I don’t. All I want is to be free of this place.”

Beth ignored her reaction and continued. “You know, you’re very beautiful Doris. Even more so than Lisa in my opinion. If you weren’t hiding every day in this library I just know a prince would have already fallen for you.” Doris felt her cheeks redden at her compliment, the idea of charming a prince was the last thing on her mind. In fact, she’d rather not think of a prince at all.

“Prince Martin would have been an excellent choice for you if he hadn’t just gotten engaged,” Beth rested her hands on her hips and paced the area around Doris. “Handsome, kind, well cultured and refined. He even loves books as you do, he’ll make an excellent king.” Doris sighed silently.

Beth seemed to be enjoying herself, she continued. “Prince Daniel, the Majestic General—the best warrior in the kingdom. He’s very handsome as well, most of the younger maids already have their hearts set on him.” Beth laughed. “He is a year younger than you, though. But I don’t think it really matters!”
