Pregnant For The Royal Prince

TWO maids were coming out from the security house where they had gone to deliver a message to the security that fateful night, when retiring to their rooms for the night, they heard a loud bang at the gate and they were shocked.

Who could that be by this time of the night? They glanced at each other and made for the gate.

“Isn’t it too late already? Ahhh, people of Kuru kingdom”, one of the maids said.

The other shrugged.

“We don’t have to complain, that is part of our jobs”, she said.

There was actually no cause for alarm, this was the palace, anyone can actually call for help at anytime, the security was loaded and ever ready.

Undauntedly, they both walked towards the gate to open. They weren’t afraid, I mean even if anything was to happen, there was always a security at the tower watching, he was capable and ready for any attack.

They opened the single gate through the lock and yanked it open, then they came out, expecting to see who had knocked but instead, the shrill cries of a little baby greeted them.

They were more than shocked and bewildered. What! A baby?

They looked around, there was no one in sight, instead they saw flashes of light in the distance, then they turned their gaze back at the baby, it was in a basket and well covered with clothes.

“Oh my God!” One of the maids exclaimed and cupped her left hand over her mouth, “let me go get the Prince”, she said and turned to run back into the palace when the other maid dragged her back.

“Are you out of your senses? What are you trying to do? Leave the baby here?” She asked, her voice whispering into the night.

She panicked.

“I’m just confused, I don’t even know what we are going to do”, she said.

“Calm down, let’s take the baby to him and show him straightaway”, she suggested and they both nodded their heads.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Now who to carry the basket was a problem. They both hesitated to carry it up as they all touched and removed their hands instantly like it was hot or something.

Finally, the one who had wanted to run in summoned up courage, placed her right palm on the handles of the basket, and she carried it up.

“Finally, let’s go in”, she said and they went in, locked up the gate and headed for the Prince’s chamber.

The maids who still hadn’t slept saw them as they walked pass carrying a basket with a baby inside of it, and said nothing to them but just looked on.

The duo as well, said nothing to them as they focused on where they were heading to.

They got to the Prince’s chamber and the guard beside the door, opened for them and they went in.

Prince Rudra and his wife were actually playing pillow fight games on the bed when they came in. The maids genuflected immediately.

“Your Graces”, they said in unison.

Lady Aarti sighted the basket and immediately got down from the bed and walked up to it, her husband slowly followed behind.

“What is this?” Lady Aarti asked.

“It is a baby basket My Lady”, the maid who carried the basket spoke.

“My Lady, we found it outside the palace, just in front of the gate few minutes ago”, the other added.

Rudra and Aarti kept them mute as she began removing the clothes, uncovering the child. She noticed a little blood stain on the clothes, and she looked at the face, the face rang a bell instantly, and oh jeez! It was a really beautiful baby.

Who could have dropped this adorable child at the gate huh? At this time of the night?

She was about bringing out the baby from the basket when she noticed a small sheet of paper, hidden under the clothes, and she took it out.

The paper was folded and so she unfolded, and proceeded to read what was written in it, and she read it out for all to hear.

? Greetings to whoever gonna find this. This baby was rescued today from the Queen of Shimla kingdom, she had wanted the baby dead. I don’t know who the baby is to her, but I just rescued. I choose to remain anonymous except I do otherwise, thank you!

“What!” Aarti shouted and tossed the paper away, then picked up the baby from the basket immediately.
