The truth about my Mate

Celine's POV:

Woke up, unfortunately another day of torture. I get out of bed, but if you could call a small piece of cardboard on the floors of the attic a bed, then that is what my life is.

I start with my chores first in the castle on the other side of the kingdom. I heard that the King is coming, apparently to look for a mate; either he will find his chosen today, or he will pick someone else if he doesn't find her.

"Dog, take this to the King's beta James and do it fast; he doesn't like being kept waiting," my master says.

"The king arrived? " He then stuck my face with so much force that I fell to the ground. "You a the daughter of a traitor, have no right to question me, go and do as I asked."

I hold my cheek in my hands and scurry away from him, He has tasked me to bring a scroll to the beta. I reach the Prince's room and lightly knock on his door then i enter his room.

"Sire my master told me to give you this,"

"Your late."

"Sorry Sire it was hard looking for your room."

" you should have just asked someone the directions"

He still hasn't shown his face, and the room is dark, so i can only make out the silhouette of his body, he gets out of the shadows and shows himself and I know he is about the do something to me.

"I know Im not the servant you were expecting ill get out of here"

" Your right i wasn't expecting the daughter of the person who slaughtered my whole family."

He steps forward, and I flinch when he raises his hand to my face, but he only lifts my chin to look at him after I had been staring at the floor.

" You need not bend your head, you did nothing wrong, I'm very aware that you were just a baby when it happened, so I cannot fault you for crimes you did not commit. We can't all choose our parents."

" Can I be excused, Sire? I have other things to do."

" Sorry, does my company bother you so much?"

" No, Sire, it's just--

" You just seem so eager to get out of here. Have I done something or said something to offend you?"

" I was not a baby when it happened i was 8 years old and i remember what happend, i saw your brother, h-he was dragging my mother out of her chambers her dress was drenched in blood and he cutt her head off, i remember her head rolling to my feet and my father, i hear his screams every day in that burning fire."

" You do not offend me, but there are 2 sides to a story."

" Are you implying that your mother and father are innocent of their--"

" No, No sire, absolutely not after your thorough investigation, there is not a doubt in my mind that they are the culprits, they are guilty and by blood so am I."

I say this and leave him stunned by my sarcastic tone, because the day the kings parents died the found my mother and father in the blood of the Kings parents, the prince at he young age of 14 beheaded my parents without trial he assumed it was them everyone did, all because there blood of his parents were found on my parents as they slept. So the young prince, in his fit of rage, denied them a fair trial and killed them on the spot.
