{ { Princess Carla 's Pov } }

I smelled the roses and smiled .

" Smells so good " I chuckled .

My eyes caught with the window and I walked closer to the window .

" This is a perfect place to escape. . . . I will surely leave this God forsaken palace with an arrogant prince " I thought inwardly and smiled .

" Princess Carla ! Your bath is ready " I heard voices from behind and startled .

It was Riella with two other maids . . . .

" Bath ? ? " I furrowed my eyebrows .

" Yes my princess " They chorused in unison .

I followed them as we walked into the magnificent bathroom .

" My princess please get into the bathtub" They said as my eyes widened in shock .

" OK thanks but you can leave " I said as they smiled .

" No my princess we are going to bath you with strawberry and sweet scented cream . . . " They said as my jaw dropped in shock .

" You guys will bath me ? " I asked with 

{ Princess Carla's Pov }



I ran as fast as my legs could carry me far away from the castle .

" My princess . . . I don't think I can continue , , , am so tired " Glenda panted heavily as she sat on the bare ground .

" No Glenda ! We don't have any further time to waste once they notice our absence in their palace then they will surely come after us " I said as Glenda shook her head in disagreement .

" Am sorry to disagree with you princess Carla but this is of no use for us . . . You can not escape from marrying your betrothed " Glenda said as I gave her a dangerous glare .

" Shut the hell up Glenda , , , , , why would you be wishing me such bad luck . . . . No ! There is no way I will end up with that arrogant guy not now , , , not ever ! " I groaned .

" Am sorry my princess ! But where are we heading to ? We don't even know anywhere or anybody here in Sudan " Glenda said as I gu

My jaw dropped in shock as I held my cheeks in astonishment .

" You should learn how to talk to people nicely not referring them as things " She said .

I glanced at the Queen mother who gulped nervously .

" Oh calm down daughter . . . . " Mother said as she forced a smile at her .

I was too gobsmacked to talk .

I quickly rushed off and all eyes were on me .

Wait . . . . Is she the bride ?

I rushed into my court with Sam following me with fastened steps .

I stormed into my room with anger boiling through me .

I slammed the door furiously and Sam walked in slowly .

" My Prince do you need anything ? Water ? Tonic water or soda water or maybe juice ? " Sam asked anxiously as I threw a dangerous glare at him .

" Get out Sam ! " I yelled at him as he quickly rushed off after bowing a little .

I tapped my feet on the ground in annoyance .

This is so unbelievable !

A lady slapped me hard on the cheek . . . .

Me ? A crowned Prince ?

I felt like grabbing her arm and pushing her out of the palace .

She've got guts like seriously . . . . .

No-one dares talk to me in such a manner talk more of raising a hand on me .

Worst still slapping me in the presence of the maids .

I tightened my fist in so much anger .

I heard a soft knock on my door .

" Who is there ? " I almost screamed .

The door throw open and my mother walked in holding slightly her royal gown .

I quickly backed her as she walked to me patting my shoulder .

" Calm down Khalid " Mom said as I freaked out .

" Really ? Calm down ? " I yelled angrily .

" Khalid . . . this is marriage and not any form of s*x without strings attached " Mother said as I shook my head .

" She slapped me mother . . . She did ! " I said as I breathed heavily .

" I know son and saw that but you shouldn 't call a crowned princess a thing talk more a dirty thing " Mother said .

" But she just slapped a crowned Prince too and a prince who 's going to be crowned king in the next few days . . . . Mother my coronation is in few days " I said as I paced around the room impatiently .

" But you talked to her rudely first " Mother said .

" You know what mother . . . . I will never marry that rude , , , arrogant jerk " I said with a finality tone .

Mom smiled broadly .

" My son I advice you to wipe off such thoughts from your heart cos you must surely marry Princess Carla " Mom grinned .

" You call that plantation worker a princess ? Is that how princesses dress ? " I snapped .

" Her dressing shouldn't bother you , , , what's important is that she is your betrothed " Mother said as I scoffed .

" Betrothed indeed ! I won't marry that arrogant lady , , , , , she's got guts " I said with anger .

" You have to freshen up my son . . . You don 't know her well enough yet so you shouldn't conclude " Mother said as I rolled my eyes .

" What 's there to see again ? Haven't I seen enough for just a day " I said as mother patted my hair .

" Don 't be late for dinner son . . . . You will soon grow to love her with time " She said as she walked out of my room .

" Grow to love her indeed ! Is there any word like love ? " I said as I quickly picked up a can of gin on my table .

I quickly opened the gin and drank it all .

I touched my cheek again . . . . .

It was reddish already and hot as well .

A woman slapped me !

Incredible . . .

I will surely deal with that arrogant lady .

She has no fear . . .

Am her husband to be and a king she neglected all of that and slapped me .

So much arrogance . . .

My cell phone rang aloud .

I looked at the screen and sighed loudly .

One of those sluts are calling me !

Just look the way her fellow women die for me to just hug them talk more of marrying them and here she is slapping me .

I landed a brain resetting slap on his cheek .

His spotless cheek turned red immediately .

I stood in front of him with my hands in akimbo .

He just called my maid and I things . . . .

He must have bartered his manners with arrogance .

Wait . . . Am I marrying this man ?

He stared at me with disdain before walking out as the maids shivered in fear .

Who cares ? ?

" My Queen ! Am sorry to say this but he 's too arrogant " I blurted out .

The Queen smiled at me before patting my very long soft hair .

" He 's not my daughter . . . . You guys are yet to know each other real well . . . He must be in a bad mood " She said as I rolled my eyes .

" Riella ! Riella ! ! " The queen called as she quickly rushed to the queen and knelt in front of her .

" My queen ! Am right here " She said .

" Please show Princess Carla her room " She said as the maid nodded .

" OK my queen " She said as she stood up .

" Follow me my princess " She said as I nodded .

I followed her as we walked into the courts .

To be honest this mansion is way too bigger than my father 's .

Filled with so much maids and guards .

Really nice but that doesn 't change the fact that I don 't like this place and I don 't also like that prince .

Am definitely going to find a way to escape .

I know it 's gonna be a little bit tough cos of the too many securities around .

But that won't make me change my mind .

I have to leave this place already . . . .

" Beautiful home but hell for me " I thought inwardly .

" My Princess we are here " Riella as called by the queen mother said as she swing the door open .

" Wow . . . " Was all I could say .

I walked into the magnificent room and smiles escaped my lips .

The room was so big and decorated with ribbons .

" Pink..... !! " I shrieked in excitement as I noticed the paint used in the room .

" You like pink my princess ? " She asked as I nodded my head in agreement .

" Oh.... I love pink so much" I said with smiles.

Honestly,,, I couldn't hide my excitement on seeing the pink room.

My eyes caught with the roses in a vase beside my bed.

"Roses? Red roses those are my favorite flower" I said as I touched the flowers and smelled them as I drew it closer to my nose.

"And my princess you are so beautiful" She said as I blushed.

My cheeks became pink immediately.

"Really?" I chuckled.

Aww.... This Riella is so much like my assistant Glenda.

She's fun to be with.....

"Yes my princess... Your hair too is so long" She said as I smiled.

"Yeah.... I got that from my late mother,,,, my father told me that her hair was so long that it passed her buttocks" I said as she marveled.

"Wow... So shiny" she chuckled.

"Thanks!" I said

"My princess.... I'll go get your royal attire ready" She said as I nodded.

She walked out of the room as I exhaled heavily.

I looked at the roses again.

I'm sure it was my father who told them my favorite color and flower .

I walked around the room . . . .

TBC . . . . . .

I smelled the roses and smiled .
