Royal slave: chapter 17
James' POV
"princess Jasmine." I said and smiled at the female mobian standing in the doorway. "James, i've told you before. you can call me just Jasmine." The princess said smilling. She was wearing a beautifull long white gown that complimented her hourglass figure and her wellshaped chest. She was also wearing a tiara that went with the gown. "i know, but it's to just call you with your first name when you're a princess." I said and approached her. She smiled.
I had left my room along with the princess to take a small walk with her. We talked a while and just walked. That was all we did, but we enjoyed eachother's company, so we didn't mind doing something that, would be for someone else, very boring.
Before we knew it hours had passed by and evening was arriving. We were outside in the big gardin that surrounded the palace. My home for aslong as i worked here. We had taken place on a bench and watched the stars in the night sky. "so, for how long will you be staying?" Jasmine asked and looked up to me. "for aslong as i work here." I answered and faced her aswell. "i see, will that be long?" She asked. "for aslong as your parents need me, yes." I said. "hmmm." She hummed and looked back up. I didn't return my gaze back to the stars. Instead i kept my gaze onto her. The moonlight made her so beautifull. I couldn't take my eyes of off her. She had grown from a little cute girl to a beautifull young woman. And as she had grown over the years, so had i.
We were very close as we had practically grown up together. But not close enough to me. We were just friends. And i wished so badly that we were so much more then friends. I had been lieing to myself for a long while and denying it for her safety, but i had no other choice then to admit my feelings for her. I loved her. With all my heart. But i knew that i had to keep it to msyelf. Because i was just a slave and she was a princess. The heir to the throne. I looked down to the ground and afterwards glanced back up to the night sky.
"princess Jasmine, the king and queen asked me to come and tell you that dinner is ready." A servant said while approaching us. "okay, tell my mother and father that i'm on my way." Jasmine said and stood up. The servant nodded and made his way back inside the palace. I got up from the bench aswell. "i guess i should be going aswell." I said. "well, we could still walk together to the dinner hall." Jasmine suggested. "i guess we could." I said. She smiled and started walking to the dinner hall. I followed her quickly.
Much to my dislike we reached the dinner hall pretty quickly. I followed her inside there aswell, but i stopped at the door and watched her sit down. She greeted her parents and started decently devouring her meal when a maid had put it down on the table in front of her. The princess giggled about a joke her father had told her. I smiled as she laughed. It made me feel happy to know that she was happy. I decided to leave her with her parents and i turned back to the door. I was about to leave through it, untill the door at the other side of the room was bursted open. Just like everyone in the room, i looked at the door and watched in surprise as a very young man walked in. The man was known to have the most succesfull slave house ever known. And it had been for generations in his family. This man was also known as the duke.
