William pov contd.
"But we are in the carriage." she added as I guided her hands down there. My sanity was long lost and all I could see was her.
"Mmm, but don't you say that curtains are closed, and if we do not open them or make noise, no one would know!" I whispered in her ears and she shivered. I touched her hands and guided her down there.
Her face was so red, it was looking so alluring that I could not describe how much it was charging . It was clear that she wanted to back away, but she did not.
Her hands moved down there and I closed my eyes. I was sure I would co just by looking at her red face that was full of sheen. her fingers were not just about my pants just a few seconds and she would be in. but then she held them at the last mont, and I frowned.
"My lord, i would have surely helped you but as you know i am still underage." she replied with a mysterious smile on her face, it burned further.
"And.. we are already inside the palace. We will soon reach the annex building too." she added as she opened the curtains suddenly while she was still leaning on .
True to her words, we were already inside the building. I adjusted my position and so did she. But it was so damn painful. I have thought that.. I looked at her smirking face, and knew right that instant that she tricked . But instead of feeling anger, I felt amused. How she had even calculated ti. So, she would have reached the palace when things turned serious.
"Your highness, we have reached your chamber." my reverie was broken by the announcent of the guard as he opened the door.
"Then I shall leave, your highness." I nodded as she took the sa carriage to return to the duke's palace.
"My lord. The girls have returned with a lot of news. I request you to visit the brothel tonight." Lucas's voice was telling that he was so enthralled with the news that I stopped in my tracks.
"I am fine. We can visit the brothel right now." i announced and he coughed,
"My lord, I will advise you to take care of this first. Why don't you take a cold bath." the way he was trying to control his laughter, i knew that the bulge was still visible a bit.
"Shouldn't it be more of a reason that a man should visit the brothel?" I asked with a chuckle, completely ignoring the fact that he was talking about .
That was the only thing I could do to cover my embarrassnt.
"Yes, your highness." His words ca out incoherent as he was busy muffling his laughter and all I could do was not and behave as if nothing had happened.
The place was too silent instead of the music that always flew through this area.
"My lord, your highness." Everyone greeted us when we entered the area.
"What happened?" I asked as I had seen them collected near the sofa and discussing sothing.
"My lord, Anna.. anna is pregnant." said a girl after so hesitation.
"Whom was she serving?" I asked, trying to sound patient, "did that man force you?" I asked again with a calm voice, but there was a storm building inside .
"Your highness, Anna was sent to serve the lord Gerard as her personal maid. She was asked to serve her in bed too. And from her position she was not able to deny." the girl kneeled suddenly as her tears did not stop. I could see she was looking broken.
I was the one who asked her to do that task to and here she was.. Apologizing to as if it was her mistake! I shook my head.
I kneeled too and sat in front of her.
"If he was forcing you, you should have left the job. But this was a matter of the past. What do you want to do now?" she blinked and looked at stunned as if she could not believe what she heard!
"I an do you want to keep this child or not?" i explained myself further, and the tears that have hardly stopped started pouring again like a dam had been broken.
"I did not know much about babies and pregnancy, but crying can never be good for a baby and it will not help you in making decisions. Tell , Anna, what do you want to do? If you need ti to think then it is fine too. But you have to decide, whether you want to keep the child or not.'' I rubbed her back slowly as her sobs turned into hiccups and silent crying.
"But this is the baby of the enemy, my lord." she said in a low voice as if she was ashad of herself.
"Did the man know about the baby?" I asked, and she bit her lips but nodded.
"What did he say?" Although I had a vague idea, I still asked if maybe the man felt so emotions towards his own blood.
"He asked to get rid of it or else he will kill too." she replied, hiding her face in between her hands and I sighed. I moved closer and hugged the girl whom I had picked from the mud. She was a young slave to be sold in the market who was not even mature enough what a slave ant.
She had soft innocent eyes that I could not see her being taken by a man who would ruin her so I bought her and took her here.
She was like my child to and yet I was the one who sent her for sacrifice.
"I never thought that he would not leave even a maid. I am your culprit Anna. I am ready for any punishnt. But before that you have to decide what you want to do with the baby? Do you want to keep him or not. As we have to call a physician to take care of you in both cases.`` She looked at shocked again.
