Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 104

 

Chapter 104 I thought he’d never leave.

“You didn’t seem happy to be called his lady.” Joseph observed as they walked back to her room. The halls were empty for the most part besides a few guards that stood tall against the wall. When she came here undercover with William, she hadn’t noticed any of them. Perhaps they doubled up since they realized the prince had neck in right under their noses.

“I’m not his lady. I’m not sure why he said I was.” Doris turned the corner. “Prince William has no plans to make me one. He has a lady back at the palace waiting for him and I was only brought as a servant.”.

Joseph hummed in understanding, but she had a feeling he was only humoring her . “I heard he has had a lot of ladies. Is it normal for a prince to go through so many?”

Doris felt her cheeks redden and suddenly wished she was already locked inside her room and far away from any of these questions-she had no business answering any of them. “I suppose it’s normal for him. I wouldn’t know, really. Each prince has their own preferences.”

She felt a bit of relief crowd her chest when she saw the hallway where her room was. He didn’t seem to notice in the slightest as he continued, “It’s odd, isn’t it? That he can’t stay with one lady. He keeps naming women as his lady’s and throwing out the last as if they’re trash rather than people.”

“It’s how it works at the palace. Some prince’s are happy with their lady’s and others go through many and sometimes never decide on one.” Doris stopped at her door and waited for him to unlock it. He fumbled with his keys, she eyes another nearby guard that watched her intently and threw out any thought of trying to run while he was distracted. She’d barely make it half way down the hall before one of them would stop her.

“Well, I’d hate to see it happen to you.” Joseph said as he pushed open her door and let her inside before he removed her cuffs. “You don’t seem like the type anyone would easily throw away.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I have no plans on becoming his next lady.” Doris breathed and rubbed her wrists. Even though it wasn’t tight, it still burned against her skin.

Joseph attached the cuffs to his belt as he looked her over. She shifted her weight onto the other foot and waited for him to leave. “Can I ask you something?”

“Oh-yes. I suppose so.”
