Royalty Gone Bad

Chapter 88: 88. Shock & Cheers

***

Asahd's POV:

I stirred in bed, feeling soft palms on my chest. Slowly, I opened my eyes, my vision adjusting gradually to the environment. I heard her soft voice that seemed to be only a dream. But then, it got clearer and clearer in my head, and then I realised it wasn't a dream.

"Asahd? Asahd? Wake up please," Saïda whispered aloud, worry evident in her voice.

I blinked several time and looked at her, sitting by me.

"I woke up late. It's six," she panicked.

"Six?" I asked sleepily, rubbing my eyes.

"Yes, it's morning. Almost seven," she whispered and my eyes opened completely. It was already clear outside.

"Oh crap," I sat up immediately. "Let's leave, darling."

We got off the bed and I searched about for my sweatpants and boxers. She did same, grabbing her nightie and robe. We could hear the employees already go about their activities, like they did every early morn.

"Have you seen my daughter? She isn't in her room."

Saïda and I froze when we heard Djafar's voice as he seemed to ask a servant at the far end of the corridor outside.

"No, Sir," we heard the servant reply.

Saïda and I stared at each other, listening carefully.

"Have you checked her room?" we heard the servant ask.

Saïda looked very worried and I immediately approached her, hugging her.

"Don't panic," I whispered and kissed her head. She nodded.

"Hopefully he doesn't come here," she whispered.

"He can't. The door's locked from inside."

"Oh, I forgot."

I looked at her face and smiled warmly at her. She smiled back shyly, her cheeks reddening. I kissed her forehead.

"Yesterday was just as amazing," I told her and she smiled again, hugging me tight and putting her head against my chest.

"Yes, it was. I love you so much."

"I love you even more, Saïda."

"I have. She's not in," we heard Djafar explain. "Let me go check the other part of the palace."

"Alright, Sir."

We silently waited for them to leave. Which they did and soon there was silence again.

"Okay," I looked at her. "You'll use the passage way through the library. If you come across your father or my parents, say you couldn't find sleep and so you went to the library and to read something but then you slept off."

"Alright," she kissed my chin. "And you?"

"I'll find a way. You go first."

"Okay," I kissed her forehead again.

We dressed up quickly and opened the door. Saïda poked her head out first.

"No one," she whispered and turned to me. "See you later."

"Alright, love."

She then rushed out and away. I decided to wait for some minutes before leaving too.

Saïda's POV:

My heart a little racy, I rushed down the corridor and into another. I made my way to the door that led into the library from behind a shelf.

I opened it and entered the library.

'Yes...'

I rushed through the huge library, adjusting my robe. I finally got to the door and stepped out.

Immediately I did, I came across my father and almost jumped.

"Saïda, dear??" he called confused, rushing to me. "I've been looking for you."

He noticed how I was dressed.

"Why are you still in a night robe??" he asked confused.

Just then, my heart skipped a beat when I spotted Asahd at a distance from over his shoulder. His eyes widened and he froze. I decided to distract my father and make sure he didn't turn.

"I wasn't feeling well yesterday, papa." I started

"Really?" he asked worried, touching my forehead to know if I had a fever.

"Yes, after dinner. But then I drank an aspirin and–"

Indirectly asking them to to pretend they had not seen him. Of course they couldn't go against his wishes. They didn't understand what going on and didn't care to. Plus, there was no way they could link his sneakiness to me, or having
