The Alpha Prince's Purchased Maid
Chapter 99: Gift and Command

Chapter 99: Gift and Command

“I’ll get Madame Cassandra to escort you back to your room. Do not leave your room unless you have my permission. Do you understand?” he asked as he peered close to my face to make sure that I understood.

I nodded my head at him once to confirm that I did understand him. His instructions were simple. All I had to do was stay in my room. It sounded so simple, so at that time, I didn’t think that something would happen that would render me unable to comply with his command. The prince seemed satisfy enough when he got up from the bed and left the room without another word to me or a glance my way.

I was still confused about what happened between us last night; however, it was clear that the prince was no longer angry at me. I closed my eyes and let out a loud sigh while trying my best to ignore the lingering feelings of his touch on my body from last night.

...

Shortly after, Madame Cassandra arrived with some senior maids that I have never met before. The three of them entered the prince’s bedroom after politely knocking on the door.

“Please come in...” I called out to them.

The door to the bedroom opened and the three ladies made their way into the room. Due to my complete nakedness, I was pretty much restrained to the bed under the covers. Once again, the madame gave me a stern look that reminded me that a maid should not be sleeping in her master’s bed. If only the choice was really mine to begin with then I would probably be sleeping peacefully on my much harder and narrower bed back in my room in the maids’ quarters.

Without a word to me, the madame gestured with her hands for her helpers to approach me. I sat on the prince’s bed with widened eyes as the two ladies held up a total of four outfits on hangers and presented them to me. My eyes travelled up and down the dresses that the two women held up.

“Pick an outfit that you would like to wear for today,” the madame instructed.

Even if she said that, it wasn’t easy for me to pick out a dress. First of all, I had never worn anything quite fancy like these before. The dresses presented were all modern-looking short dresses in various colors and styles. One was a magenta pink with long sleeves and a slit that would run up one side of my thigh. The second one was a black sleeveless dress with lace decoration. The third was white with light pink, rosy patterns with puffy sleeves. The last was a sky-blue dress with a belt around the waist, short sleeves, and a skirt that looked the most normal out of all the rest.

“What about my maid uniform?” I asked.

“Are you saying that you’re unsatisfied with the clothes that the prince has chosen for you?” one of the women holding up the dresses snapped at me.

“That’s not...” I murmured.

The prince chose these dresses for me?

Prince Leonard...did this? Why?

“Hurry up and pick one, Mila. You’re not planning to spend the day naked in the prince’s bed, are you?” Madame Cassandra asked before she gave me a pointed look.

“I’ll go with the blue dress...” I replied while pointing to the most ordinary-looking dress out of all the options.

It probably didn’t matter what I wore since I would be spending the day in my room until I got the prince’s permission to leave it. I was sure without asking that that precise order had been relayed on to Madame Cassandra as well.

Surprisingly, the senior maids made sure to help me dress no matter how many times I told them there was no need to. When all was said and done, I looked at my own reflection in the full-length mirror while I thought of how strange and out of place, I looked in the dress. The dress fit me quite perfectly and I was sure that this was probably what was considered in-trend right now; however, I didn’t think that the dress suited me. Rather, I didn’t think that I suited the dress. Something fashionable and expensive like this would probably suit someone like Lady Regina, for example.

“Be more confident in yourself, Mila. This is the first gift that you’ve received from the prince,” Madame Cassandra told me sternly.

“Yes...” I mumbled.

Was I supposed to feel happy that I received this dress from Prince Leonard?

My eyes shifted to the weird-looking girl in the mirror, and I had to say that I didn’t feel like I would get along well with her.

...

Based on Prince Leonard’s commands, Madame Cassandra led me back to my room where I was to remain until I had the prince’s permission to leave. I couldn’t follow what he was thinking when he gave this order. Staying all alone in my small little room would bore me close to death.

I wanted to work, and I wanted to see my friends, Salena and Jessie. Usually, we would get to catch up over breakfast and dinner in the cafeteria; however, because of the many messy things in my life, I haven’t met those two girls for a while. I wonder how they were doing. If I had to guess, then I would say that Jessie was still her normal cheerful self while Salena was probably still the most efficient worker while still not being very talkative.

There were many things that I wanted to talk to them about and I realized that I missed them so much. After some thought, I decided that it was the obvious choice that I kept my encounters with all the princes a secret from them. I wasn’t a big fan of gossip, and I didn’t see any value in telling them about it. Hopefully, I would get a chance to catch up and work with them again soon.
