The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid
Chapter 169: His Instructions

Chapter 169: His Instructions

When I woke up, it was already mid-afternoon and by the time that we were prepared to head back to the castle, the sun seemed ready to start its descent below the horizon. Prince Leonard seemed to be in an even better mood when he woke up. He looked extremely energetic and everything that I said made him laugh. I didn’t think that I was being extra funny or entertaining so it must have been his mood.

I had never seen the prince laugh and chuckle so much like this and it made me wonder for a moment if this was some kind of illness. Based on my previous encounters with him, I was more used to the colder and sardonic version of him. It wasn’t like I thought that this change was necessarily a bad change; however, I was certainly not used to this side of him.

“It’s so sad that we have to head back...” he grumbled like a kid when he drove us back.

I glanced over to see the prince looking quite moody. When I left the palace with him, I didn’t think that we would end up spending the night outside of the palace and I never thought that we would be returning back at almost sundown like this. The fact that I slept for so long told me that last night truly took a large toll on my body. I suspected that my body would feel bruised and slightly broken for a few days to come.

“Mila...” he called my name.

“Yes?” I replied questioningly.

“I’ll drop you back to your room, ok?” he asked.

“Yes...” I replied without hesitation.

We had already left the busy city center behind and were getting closer to the palace grounds. The prince started talking to me a little seriously when we entered the palace gates. To my utter relief, the head of guards was nowhere to be seen. The prince was greeted formally by the guards and the car was allowed inside without any fuss.

The ride from the palace wall to the Secret Chamber didn’t feel very long at all. The prince parked his car right in front of the building’s entrance before he turned to face me. It seemed like he wasn’t going to come inside with me.

“Mila, I have to drop you off here. Can you get to your room by yourself?” he asked with some concern.

“Yes, I can,” I replied with a slight nod of my head.

To my surprise, after waking up, I could still stand up and walk on my own two feet. That didn’t mean that each step didn’t require extra effort or came without any pain, but I could still walk by myself. The inside of my pussy still felt very raw and sore and each step that I took reminded me of the events of last night.

“I wish I could accompany you to your room, but I have somethings to sort out,” he said before he showed me a regretful smile.

“That’s fine. I can manage on my own,” I told him honestly.

“Mila, you spent the night with me in my room,” he said with his eyes staring deeply into mine.

“What?” I murmured as I struggled to keep up with his thoughts.

“If someone asks you where you were last night, just tell them that you spent the night with me in my room,” the prince instructed firmly.

“Ok...” I murmured.

I had no idea why the prince was asking me to lie but if he thought that that was for the best then, I would follow his instructions. Madame Sand will probably ask me to report about my night with the prince just as she had told me before. We were not supposed to leave the palace grounds and I didn’t want to find out how I would get punished if someone were to find out.

“If anyone asks you for more details, just tell them to ask me directly. Do you understand?” he instructed.

His blue gaze felt penetrating as he stared into my eyes as if evaluating if I understood what he had just told me.

“Yes...” I replied.

“Good girl,” he said with clear satisfaction.

He smiled at me one final time before I turned to get out of this car. I stood in front of the building entrance as I watched the prince drive away from me until his car was completely out of sight.

...

My eyes stared up at the stairs that led upwards as a shudder ran through my body. While trying not to limp too obviously, I made my way to the magical invention called the elevator without any hesitation. I had never appreciated that invention so much until that moment. Since there was no way that I would make it up to my floor in the state that my body was in, I felt extremely thankful when the elevator arrived, and the door slid opened.

A few seconds later, the elevator door opened, and I had been magically transported up to my floor. Now, all I needed to do was limp towards my room. It was still hard for me to believe all the things that happened between Prince Leonard and me since the moment that I took his hand and let him lead me out of my room.

Resisting my urge to just flop down onto my bed, I headed to the bathroom to take a long and warm bath to help relax my strained muscles. A loud and long sigh escaped my lips as I laid my head back and closed my eyes in the bathtub. The warm water that surrounded my body felt rewarding and helped me to unwind. Immediately when I closed my eyes, I saw Prince Leonard’s face and heard the sound of his laughter.

“I’m going crazy...” I muttered to myself.

The image of the prince did not disappear from behind my closed eyelids. We just parted ways so it felt impossible that I would be missing him already. Nothing else could explain why I was seeing him in my mind, though.

“Arghhh...” I groaned and rolled my eyes freely now that he wasn’t around to see it.
