Prince Dermin 💐

The door to the bathing room swung open revealing the Crown Prince who strolled in casually in his dark robe.

"Why do I deserve dirty maids serving me?" Prince Dermin's voice was cold as his gaze rested on the two unkempt ladies whose heads were bowed gracefully before him. He found the knot around him proceeding to untie his robe. "Do anyone needs to tell them to get the hell out, Yasmine." His head turned in his personal maid's direction.

"Your Highness."

The voice. The voice was one of the voices stuck in Prince Dermin's head against his will. And he hated that he could recognise it just by two lazy words. His eyes furrowed together as he lifted up his head sharply. His gaze rested on Rekiya. Immediately, Prince Dermin turned to Yasmine. "Can you tell me what she's doing here?" He said stonily, his hard look tripled with Rekiya's presence, as if a glance at Rekiya had caused insects creeping up to his face.

Rekiya watched him for a moment and couldn't mutter a word with how hard, cold and dark his expression was towards her. Does he even know she was only trying to help him? Or what's with all these attitudes from him? Rekiya stopped stealing glances at him and suddenly raised her head in annoyance. She rolled her eyes glaring at Prince Dermin with her bright eyes that obviously revealed she had lost strength to remain calm. She actually does not have time for this petty behavior.

Rekiya's frown deepened, and before she could think twice on what she was about to do, suddenly, Rekiya jumped into the Crown Prince's bathing pool, getting a resounding gasps from everyone. A look of…I told you this girl is crazy…from Prince Dermin. A look of…Is the Princess alright?...from Yasmine. Who is this funny Lady? Tia's lips curved into a light smile trying her best to stop the grin that was growing on her face. Both Prince Dermin and Yasmine stepped back as they tried to avoid the heavy water splashed at them. Tia was too wet and tired to care. She and Rekiya had gone to the fetching ground like a billion times.

Rekiya lifted her head from the pool and giggled. The water smelled beautifully because of the roses added to it. She finally looked up, trying to apologize for her crazy decision for jumping. She never planned to tell them that something was added in the water she had jumped into. She was only going to plead that the Crown Prince not bath in the water, but of course, he annoyed her. She just never understood why he gave her those looks like he hated the sight of her. That pissed her off, because she hated it too.

She knew the easiest way that could trigger Prince Dermin to action. By annoying the hell out of him. Like, annoy the heck out of him till those eyes of his close up from exhaustion. He was the father of I speak little, my expression is a badass. She didn't think it through before jumping, but knew it would work, and it did. After lifting her head out of the water, she was face to face with two people whose faces had a shocking expression each, while the other one stood there and stared at her blankly. Rekiya's head moved in Tia's direction as she turned her back to Yasmine and Prince Dermin. Her brows cocked at Tia. What? Why are you all staring at me?

"Your hair." Tia breathed in astonishment. It was so long and Rekiya looked nothing more like a water goddess. She was finding it so hard to accept that Rekiya was real. Water dripped from her face, down to her feet as she hurriedly stepped out of the water to save herself. Her hair was something her mother passionately talked about, as if a demon was somewhere waiting to catch young girls with long hair just to cut it off.

Prince Dermin's dark eyes were drinking Rekiya's image. Though he remained poised, his eyes void of emotions, but the memory of Rekiya since the first day he saw her were pictures tattooed in his head. In his mind. He still hadn't forgotten what he saw despite how much he tried. To him, Rekiya was different. He knew it, but he was only going to watch. He had chosen not to let her have any closeness to him regarding her pompous attitude and rude personality towards him.

Rekiya cursed as she wrapped her hair. She had left their palace so early that her maid had tied her hair instead of her mother who took great care of her hair specially. And when she changed into servant clothes, she had to change the style to what a palace maid looked like. She had to look like them.

Rekiya forced a smile on her face after she was done packing her hair. "Should I give Yasmine and Tia the oil mother uses for me from baby. It grows hair like magic. Although, Rekima's head rejects everything mother uses," she said.

Prince Dermin rolled his eyes. Lies. She was telling lies.

Rekiya ran to the hole that releases the water in the Crown Prince bathing pool. "Tia, come," she called, "His Highness can no longer take his bath in this water."

"Let me call the maids to fetch us more water then," Yasmine said, hurrying to the door.

"No,no,no…" Rekiya left Tia to stop Yasmine. Her face brightened so quickly. Her lips curved into a smile and she looked nothing less but adorable, her cheeks lifting up a little more as she giggled. "Here Yasmine," she beamed. "Tia and I were going to top the Crown Prince's pool cause I felt they didn't fill it well," she lied, dragging the black curtain that was put in Prince Dermin's bathing room aside.

Yasmine swung her face in Rekiya's direction. Her eyes widened.

Rekiya batted her eyelashes and nodded with a smile, beating her chest softly. Then she stared at Tia before looking back at Yasmine. "Anything for the Crown Prince, my Lady."

The old maid's eyes were Instantly filled with smiles that made it to her lips, and her face lightened up the whole room with gratitude for Rekiya. She didn't know what was going on, but there were a multitude of buckets filled with clean water. Both cold and hot. Yasmine then turned to the Crown Prince.

Prince Dermin averted his face quickly as if he saw nothing, leaving Rekiya and Yasmine to stare at themselves for his attitude. Prince Dermin took the stairs one after the other to the underground pool, throwing his black robe…..

At the two women staring at him.
