The Forgotten Princess

”Haha, I know. ” William said with a gentle smile.
”I saw my mother having morning sickness when carrying my siblings. ”

I looked at him solemnly.
William lost his mother due to her weak body, but she was able to birth his siblings after him.
He became an older brother and a mother as well to his little siblings after she left this world.

”It is said that morning sickness varies in every woman, so I wish it won ’t be that bad for you. ” William said.

”I also wish that to. ” I said.
”I feel very tired just after a while.
And with morning sickness, I feel like I just want to lie down and sleep. ”

”Would you like me to walk you back to your room? ” William asked.

”Maybe a little later. ” I said.
”I like the sea breeze blowing on my face and its smell. ” William nodded and we continued walking slowly.

While walking, we heard some servants chatting not so loudly.

”Did you hear what happened to the young lady last night? ”

”I heard that she tried to seduce the king of Grandcrest last night. ”

When I heard what they were talking about, I aburptly stopped.
I listened carefully.

”Belinda that was serving at the feast told me that the king of Grandcrest stormed inside the banquet hall with the young lady naked. ”

”Oh my! What happened? ”

”The king had said that young lady Deborah tried to use her body to seduce him.
Apparently, our young lady wanted to go inside the king ’s harem by climbing up his bed and using her body. ”

”Well it is said that concubinage is a normal practice in Grancrest, right? ”

”That is the surprising part.
The king had announced in the grand hall that he had ablished that long tradition for his now wife.
He had said that he will only have one woman as his wife in this life, and that is the current queen Alicia. ”

”Oh my, how sweet. ”

”But our young lady was punished because of that.
It is said that what she has done was punishable by death, but because her father the duke has been a good host the king had lowered her punishment.
She is now under house arrest and is said to marry some baron I guess, from Grandcrest. ”

”Then her engagement with the foreign prince will be broken? ”

”Well that serves her right.
I do not know where she got her arrogant manner from.
The duke and the late duchess are good persons.
Not to mention young master Rapahel as well is down to earth and kind hearted. ”

”I know right. ”

I walked by slowly and the servants that were gossping saw me approach.

”Y-Your majesty! ” They said in unison and was startled.
The bowed down after seeing me.

”Is it a habit here to talk to about your master like that? ” I said with a flat voice.
My eyes were scolding them.

”W-We are sorry your majesty. ”

”This will not happen again. ”

They trembled in fright.

”The duke ’s family have been a good host to us.
It is not good to speak ill of his daughter that is also your master. ” I said.
”I will not speak of this, but be sure that this will not happen again.
Or I will report you to the duke myself. ”

”W-We understand your majesty. ” They said in unison.
”We thank you for your mercy. ”

”Let ’s go back now Will. ” I said and walked away feeling angry.

”Why are you angry? ” William said.
”It is not you they are gossiping about. ”

”I know, but it still bothers me. ” I said.
”I never liked Deborah since the first time I laid my eyes upon her.
But I cannot help but feel pity over her.
I was also looked down upon by servants lf the palace back in Alvannia.
As a fellow woman, I do not want anyone to be ridiculed like that. ”

”You are really kind. ” William chuckled boyishly.

”By the way, is what they said true? ” I looked at him scrutinizingly that William shivered.

”W-Well, it is true. ” William said while looking away shyly.

”So, did you see her naked last night? ” I looked at him with one eyebrow up.

”I-I only saw a glimpse. ” William had his hands up in defense from my interrogating gaze.
”I was guarding your door when I thought that his majesty has not returned yet, so I followed him towards the kitchen thinking he might need some help.
When I arrived, that was when I saw his majesty dragging the naked Deborah out and towards the dinning hall. ”

I never felt so irritated before in my entire life.
Regaleon had never even told me the whole night and also this morning.
I stomped my feet back to the estate with anger boiling inside.

”W-Wait…
Alicia! ” William called from behind, but my attention was directed on my husband that did not tell me anything.
