Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 75 I‘m going to be the next king.

William was carried and left right in her bed of all places. Doris noted how many empty cabins there were but he was still brought to her every time. She knew she shouldn’t be surprised, she was here to serve his needs after all. But what if he was still drunk when he woke? The thoughts made her nervous and she tried to shake them from her mind. She wanted to be there for him like he was for her when she was sick but-it was hard to swallow the bit of fear that tried to pull her down when images of his drunken state still ran across her mind almost nightly. She promised herself she would never be around him when he drank-never again. Doris took off his shoes carefully and covered him with two blankets before she went to clean all the blood off his face and hands. She set a glass of cold water by the bed as well as a bit of bread in case he was hungry when he woke. Doris remembered Beth telling her how ravenous some of the princes would be after a night out, perhaps she should get more food-no. She had to stay by his side like he did for her.

you hungry?” She asked. She didn’t know what else to do with her hands so she started to pick up things that were out of place. He simply watched as she moved back and forth but refused to answer her simple questions. Why couldn’t he just tell her he was hungry so she could have an excuse to leave for a moment and catch her breath? Didn’t he realize how hard it was for her to have him watching her like that? After a few moments, she stopped in front of the bed and rested her hands on her hips. “Are you okay?” She tried again and did her best not to sound as annoyed as she felt. He even dared to look amused at her frustration to try and get him to talk to her. Was this some

you go. There’s always going to be bad people.” “They kill for sport, Doris. Don’t let them blind you to their true intentions.” William said as if he was talking to a child. “You may have been fooled by their illusions, but I’m not.” “I heard the story of why they came here, William. Of why this place even exists. The kingdom treated them horribly because they were poor. They couldn’t live among the rich without being stepped on or killed.” Doris let out a small breath. She knew he didn’t want to hear anything good about them but she would at least try to make him
