Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 5

#Chapter 5 Prince William is searching for the girl?

Prince Martin’s mouth parted slightly as he read, always in deep thought. Doris dragged her gaze away from his slight frown and allowed her eyes to trail along his sharp nose up to his bright eyes that creased just slightly whenever he smiled. She wondered how many girls had fallen for him just for his smile alone.

“Doris, right?” His soft voice broke her out of her thoughts, Prince Martin’s simple question almost startled her when she caught his green eyes fixed on her.

“Oh! Yes, your majesty.” Doris straightened herself and silently prayed he hadn’t caught her curiously staring at him. It was rare for her to be alone around royalty, she couldn’t help herself.

The side of his mouth lifted, “That’s a lovely name.”

Doris felt her cheeks warm. “Thank you, your majesty.”

Her fingers lightly touched her pulse along her wrist and felt her heartbeat pick up. He didn’t talk to her often, usually they both read in silence if she wasn’t cleaning. At first, she thought it would bother him if she read nearby, but he only ever smiled at her. And his smiles were quite encouraging. She never got the impression that he wanted a conversation, she expected him to only crave the silence that the Library offered so she never interrupted him. Doris often hoped he would say something to her first, anything to disrupt her thoughts. But he never really did, until today.

“How long have you been at the Palace?” He asked as he marked a page in his book and set it on his lap. Her eyes followed his movements in an attempt to distract her from her own nerves.

“Five years, your majesty.”

“Five years? And you’ve been stationed in the Library the entire time? They never promoted you or relocated you?” He tilted his head slightly as he studied her.
