Chapter 34 Collect me
What do you mean?” Doris asked cautiously. She didn‘t think anything he did for her would be for her
benefit. He hated her, even if he had moments of being somewhat decent she knew he hated her. It was
obvious he didn’t think she poisoned Melody, but that was it. “Prince William spent 3 days locked away
searching for the one that actually poisoned the soup. He refused to do anything else or let anyone help
him, he was determined to find out who did it so you could go free.” Beth looked excited to finally share
the gossip with Doris. She looked as if she were about to bounce out of her seat with all of the
information she held in. “I heard he aggressively asked all of the servants who poured the soups and
questioned everyone that worked that night until “Until what?” Doris asked, her hands gripping the
blankets around her. It wasn’t hard to picture him. yelling at cooks and servants until they admitted
whatever he wanted to them. “Until one of his ex-lovers admitted it was her.” Beth said with wide, excited
eyes. This was definitely better than any book in the library to Beth. Doris briefly remembered the maid in
the courtroom that came forward about the poison. Honestly. Doris was trying not to pass out so most of
it was a giant, scary blur to her. “Really?” Doris breathed. It was quite scandalous for a prince to have an
ex-lover poison the soup because she was jealous of his new lady. She bet all of the maids were just as
excited as Beth was about the gossip . “Did she say why?”

“Apparently, we will raing to try and frame Melody for making Luna Quen sick, but she claims she didn’t
know about the polkojaus herb in the soup.” Burth propped her chin up with her hand and sighed. *1 km

herself grow more tired by the minute. Her mind couldn‘t seem to picture anyone vicious enough to
poison Luna Queen, not even a scomed lover. “I don’t know, she claims she only put the flower in there
but the flower alone has some poison in it. Perhaps she was too dull to realize that, but I’m mat sure if
she knew about the herb. I heard she was completely clueless when they asked her about it.” Doris
nodded and hummed to herself in thought. – He must really care för Melody to go through all that
trouble.” “He wanted to get you out of prison, Doris. He hasn’t mentioned Melody in days. I doubt the
truly cared for her.” “Beth! You can’t say something like that he obviously care if he’s willing to travel to
the north to find out who poisoned her.” Doris frowned a little Prince Jack had also claimed Prince
William hadn’t shed a single tear about her poisoning Clearly he wasn’t huge on emotions, he must have
been hiding his feelings for the most part. But actions were always louder than words and Prince William
was doing the unthinkable by offering to travel to the north to find the truth for Melody “He’s going there
to prove it wasn’t you who poisoned Luna Queen, Doris!” Beth said stubbomly. Doris knew how much
Beth dreamed of her having some sort of romance with a prince, but it was
never going to happen. It wasn’t even in her own daydreams, the only thing Doris dreamed about was
getting as far from this palace as she could. “He already knows who wanted to harm Melody. I’m telling
you it’s to clear your name.” Doris snorted at the thought and shook her head. – Beth, I adore you but he
is not doing this for me. It’s for Melody. trust me. I’m just a maid that unfortunately got mixed in all of this,
I’m just lucky he doesn’t think it’s me like Prince Jack does.” Beth rolled her eyes and sighed loudly.
“Fine. Be blind to the three princes tripping over themselves to impress you!” She stood, Doris laughed a
little until it hurt. She was ridiculous. If only life were so simple that she had three princes wanting her
attention, but Doris knew it was nothing like that.
A few days passed and Doris was finally able to walk on her own again. She walked up and down the
halls outside her room and then laid in bed after with a serving of medicine to calm her pains, Beth
stayed by her side the entire time and made sure she had enough to eat and drink whenever she was
hungry. Doris was eternally rateful for her. Many maids in the palace only dreamed of having a friendship
as true as they did, it was hard to trust in this place. Prince Daniel had come by a few more times to
check in on her. He once even brought her some cake for a change and made her laugh until her sides
hurt and Beth had to shoo him away. “Don’t you have more important things to do?” Doris teased him. -
Me? Never!” Prince Daniel said before he bowed and left the room with his signature grin that lit up his
entire face. Doris smiled to herself as she watched him bave.

wilently hoped they would mand her back to the Library orce she was able to work again, sha couldn’t
imagine anyone else would want het in lady’s maid after what she went through. Tainted wards like liar,
thial, and now pointer were on her back. At least in the library. nat many people ventured in to see her
besides a kind prince and the occasional servant looking for a new read. Perhaps she would talk to Mr.
Carson in the morning about it, if he wasn’t still mad at her about the party.
Later that night, Doris had gotten up to make herself a glass of cool water when a knock startled her.
Beth was already dozing in bed, Doris pulled on a long cloak and quietly opened it to see Prince
William’s footman on the other side, “Oh… Hello, sir.” She curtsied. -Good evening. Ms. I’ve come to

still sound asleep “Collect me?” Doris asked, confused. “What is this for, may I ask?” “Prince William has
asked you to accompany him in his private bedroom tonight.” “-what? Me?” Doris stumbled over her
words, her face heated immediately. “I… Why me?” Prince William’s footman stared it her silently, she
supposed he wouldn’t know why either: “0…okay. One moment, please. I just need to get my shoes.”
When he nodded and turned away. Donis hurried to Beth’s side and shook her awake. “What?” Beth
grumbled and leaned up on her elbows. Her eyes flickered to the door and she sat up straighter when
she saw his outline. “What’s happening? Is

Na, na.” Donis shoulder leid, “I JULLW l ini tell you that Prince Willimin quested my EEE tonight so I’m

“In his private chamber.” Daris said quietly. Beth sat up quickly. her eyes wide and absent of sleep.
“What! “Shhh!” Doris glanced at the man but he wan’t looking at them. “It’s nothing, he probably needs
maid or something.” “So he asked you in the middle of the night?” Heth couldn’t contain her grin. “It’s rare
for anyone to See his private chambers alone unless you’re his
Doris blew out a frustrated breath. “I’ll be back in the morning. I’m sure. I didn’t want you to wake without
me here and worry yourself.” She turned to the door “Tell me everything the second you get back! I don’t
care if I’m sleeping. wake me!” Doris closed the door on her friend and followed the man down the halls.
Her heart raced in her chest as she tried to keep up with his footman who didn’t even glance back to see
if she followed him. She hadn’t seen Prince William since the trial, why did he want to see her so late at
night?
