DarkKing!EnglandxServant!Reader: Word is Law Ch3

The last few days since the death of the king were busy.  Arthur started making changes to the castles.  The once blue themed castle was now green.  New rules and jobs were giving to the servants.  Unlike most of the other servants you got to keep the same chores.  Alice had asked her brother to allow you to stay as the personal servant of the family.

It was a normal afternoon and you were in Alice’s chambers serving her tea.  Today she was wearing a new light blue dress her brother have her as a gift.  Her long silky blond hair was combed into pigtails.  She was telling you of all the kind things her brother planned on doing for her.  The future garden was going to be a maze of red roses since they were her favorite flowers.

“I’m happy that things are going well.” you said to Alice with a smile.  She smiled happily back at you.

Suddenly the doors of the chambers swung open.  Alice sat the cup of tea back on its pure silver serving tray.  You watched as a young woman wearing a dark red dress ran into the room.  Her dusty blond hair moved side to side as rushed over to Alice.

“Alice!” the young woman said as she jumped into Alice’s arms hugging her close.  Alice looked into the bright blue eyes of the woman.

“My goodness Amelia what are you doing here?” Alice asked as the young woman continued to hug her while smiling cheerfully.  

“Visiting.” the young woman said.  You then realized the woman was Alice’s young cousin.  It was your guess that she was visiting because she heard about the death of her uncle.  Then it suddenly hit you if Amelia was here the maybe Alfred was also here.

“I see, is Alfred here with you too?” Alice asked as if she read your mind.  Amelia stood up with a smile and nodded.  You smiled happily it had been years since you last saw Alfred or Amelia.  

“________, is that you?” Amelia asked running her fingers through her dusty blond hair.  You nodded only to be tackled into a hug by Amelia.  She giggled happily as she hugged you.

“You grow up well.” Amelia said with the same playful smile she had as a child.  The two of you sat up as Alice smiled down at you.

“You look wonderful too.” you smiled back.  Amelia’s eyes widened as she stood up.  You looked up at her confused.

“Let’s go find Alfred I bet he’ll be happy to see you’ll.” Amelia said grabbing both Alice’s and your hands.  Before you had a chance to speak Amelia ran out the room while dragging you and the princess.

----------------Arthur’s Chambers------------------

“Amelia slow down!” you and Alice yelled at the same time.  Finally Amelia slid to a stop giving you a chance to catch your breath.  You were too busy trying to catch your breath that you didn’t notice the door to Arthur’s chamber to open.

“Alice, _______!” you heard Alfred say.  You watched as Alfred wrapped his strong around Alice giving her a bear hug.  Finally Alice was able to get him to let her go.  With a few more breaths you stood straight and smiled at the young man.

“Hi, Alfred.” you said as he wrapped his arms around you.  With a tight hug you felt the crushing pain of Alfred’s strong hugging grip.

“Put her down before you crush her.” Arthur said from the doorway of his chambers.  Amelia smile running up to her older cousin.

“Artie, how you been?” Amelia said hugging him.  The prince smiled kindly at his cousin hugging her back.

“Fine and you?” he asked politely while brushing her dusty blond hair out of her face.  

“Wonderful like always.” Amelia answered with a smile.  Arthur turned his attention to you.

“We’re going to the sitting room and talk.  ________, bring some tea.” Arthur ordered.  You simply curtsied before rushing out the room.

----------------Time Skip-----------------

After fixing the tea you rushed to the sitting room.  While walking down the hallway you were stopped by Felicia and a pair of men.  The taller man had blond hair and bright blue eyes as he.  The other man had whitish gray hair and crimson red eyes.  They were both very handsome.

“_______, have you seen the prince?” Felicia asked her green uniform moved side to side as she ran up to you.

“He’s in the sitting room.  I’m headed that way right now; you wanna come with me?” you asked your friend.

“Thank you!  Oh, this is Sir. Ludwig and Sir. Gilbert.” Felicia said with a smile as she pointed out the men.

“Good evening.  If you please follow me.” you said smiling innocently at the two men.  They both simply nodded at you.

“Thank you.” Sir. Ludwig said while you started to lead them to the sitting room.

Once at the sitting room Felicia knocked on the door.  After she was given permission to open the door opened the door.  You walked in with the tea.

“Your highness Sir. Ludwig and Sir. Gilbert have arrived and their waiting in the hall.” you informed Arthur who looked at you with his emerald green eyes.

“Fine, let them to enter.” Arthur said as he started to drink the tea you fixed him.  You quickly rushed to the door letting in the two men.

Both men bowed to Arthur who looked down at them with kind smiles.  You fixed tea Alice, Amelia and Alfred.

“Greetings your majesty.” Sir. Gilbert said looking up at the king with his crimson red eyes.

“Please have a seat.  Would you like some tea?” Arthur asked glancing at you.

“No thank your highness.  We are only here to deliver a message about your crowning.” Sir. Ludwig said as he sat in on of the dark green and gold chair.

“Alright, what is the message?” Arthur asked as he snapped his fingers at you.  You rushed over pouring him more tea.

“We were sent to tell you that won’t be able to take the throne until you marry.” Sir. Ludwig said.  Arthur’s emerald green eyes widened.  You, Alice, Amelia and Alfred stared at the muscular man. Alice lowered the cup in her hands.  It was clear that she was worried by how her brother would take the news.

“I see.  I’ll have to work something out.” Arthur said looking at the two brothers sitting across from him.  

“We’re sorry about the news your highness.” Sir. Ludwig said as he stood from the chair.

“We hope you well.” Sir. Gilbert said as he stood onside of his brother and with that said the two brothers left.

No one said a word.  Arthur seemed to be deep in thought while Alice, Amelia and Alfred simply looked at him.

“So what are you going to do dude?” Alfred finally broke the silence in the room.  Arthur ran his fingers through his messy blond hair.

“I’m not sure yet.  But I will think of something.” Arthur mumbled as he continued to think.

----------------Time Skip-----------------

You were helping in the new garden when Anya walked towards you.  You could tell by the look on her face that she was upset.  Your body stiffened as she stood onside of you.  

“What’s wrong?” you asked with a bit of fear in your voice.

“That prince is getting on my last nerves.” Anya said as her bluish purple eyes narrowed.

“What happened?” you asked while wiping off the dirt from you hands.

“The prince has decided to host a ball.  He decided to invite princesses and duchesses to find a bride.” Anya answered picked up a shovel.

“We’ve had balls before Anya…” you started to say until she cut you off.

“Yes, but we never were assigned to princesses.  I don’t want to follow some woman around as if a dog.  I should teach him a lesson.” Anya said coldly as she gripped the shovel tighter in her hands.  You looked at the woman afraid that she might really hit someone with the shovel.
