Valerie pov :
I couldn't get him off my mind,I rushed into the kitchen to find bethel doing the dirty dishes .
" Hello sister "
" What !!"
Oops she sounded so angry with the way she replied to me , One could tell that she was pissed off .
" So tell me why are you angry "
" What's the point of explaining Myself to you "
" Come on talk to me Am your sister "
" That bitch just spoiled everything for me "
" Who are you talking about if I may ask "
" Lady Theresa of course why can't she Just mind her business ,I was supposed to have met with the king by now, But No she transfered me to the kitchen .The kitchen Val can you imagine that "
" Oops tsk ..tsk.. so sorry dear but I think she read your mind even before you carried out your plans hahaha ..."

" Hahaha girl you need to see the Look on yourself it's so horrible, My God don't worry I think someday you will get an opportunity to meet with the king one on one dear "
" Please stop talking nonsense ,I dressed my best today and she spoiled it for me , Am so angry "
" I know girl don't worry about that you will meet him some day "
I Decided to change the topic to make her cheer up a little .
" Guess what "
" Please am not in the mood for that Right now infact I just feel like using this heavy spoon on that bitches head "
" Calm down and guess "
" Val if you want to say something Then say it and stop asking me to guess "
" Okay fine I met someone today "
Immediately I started giving her the gist in details she dropped the spoon she was holding and turned to my direction .
" Really "
" Yes but I really don't like anything about that man ,he looks weird infact his attitude is something else , something seems off about that man "
" Why will you say so "
" I Don't know bethel , And I don't care to know but the most important thing is Am happy and contented with Eric "
" Yes I know ,So tell me more about this man ,Is he a Duke or does he hold any Title in the palace tell me I want to know "
" I don't know bethel but all I know is that am not interested in knowing him better "
" Really then can I have him "
" Bethel since when did you become this loosed ,for Zeus sakes don't tell me you are not a virgin anymore you know mother will be pissed off if she finds out about it "
" So what sist ,So what infact who cares I just want to live the best life so please stop talking nonsense "
" All I ask is that you really have to slow down bethel don't allow your quest for riches and power consume you girl "
" Speaking of which,At least I want wealth and power what about you what do you really want in life "

" Yeah yeah look who is talking don't tell me if life gives you that opportunity you wouldn't take it "
" I wont take it girl I won't"

" Okay you win please bethel I want to ask for a favor "
" Yeah ,yeah I already know what you want "
" I want to go see Eric but I don't know what to do "
" Don't worry I will cover up for you like I have always done "
" Okay dear thank you so much "
I was so happy my whole body couldn't contain my joy ,I jumped on her and gave her a kiss .
" Thank you so much thank you "
I quickly rushed back to the maids chamber to change my dress immediately I finished changing ,I made my way out of the palace ,it was really hard for me because the palace was too big .
Finally I arrived at the entrance of the palace and was granted a pass and I quickly rushed to where Eric was to see him and tell him how much I missed him .
When the carriage stopped in front of a bakery I quickly jumped down a waved goodbye to the coach man ,I quickly made my way into the bakery shop .

I called his name ,he was attending to a customer when he was attention was drawn to me .
" Valerie ,hold wait a minute I will be with you soon "
He quickly give the customer what she asked for and in no time we were both alone in the Bakery shop ,he rushed up to me and gave me a tight hug followed by a peck .
" I missed you so much val I thought you wouldn't be able to make it "
" I did finally "
I was trying to say something when he tried to lift up my dress I quickly stopped him immediately .
