Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

"I texted your assistant to bring  your meal over here," he said as he walked out of the walk-in closet knowing fully well that she was angry with him but he did not want to tell her now.

There was a knock on the door after a while and Liam walked into the bedroom.

Rose went to open the door for her assistant who entered with a few maid's and laid a table with her brunch.

"Thanks," Rose said with a smile as she sat to eat. "Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Yes, I have," the assistant replied looking around the room to find anything to satisfy her suspicion.

"What about lunch?" Rose asked.

"No not yet."

"This brunch looks like it's too much for me alone to consume. Let us eat brunch together."

"Oh . . . No, please don't bother. Your highness," the assistant rejected immediately but cautiously as she found the offer very awkward.

"It is an order," Rose said with a tight smile. She wondered what Liam will do with her blocking his exit.

"Thank you, your highness," her assistant immediately appreciated as she sent a message to the butler.

"You can sit down. I will like to visit the spa later this evening after talking to my friends."

"Your schedule is full for today," her assistant hastily reminded her with enough respect carried in her voice.

"Really? What am I supposed to be doing right now?" Rose asked not aware of how her schedule got filled up.

"The student Union planned to have dinner with you," Her assistant said as she held a tablet and scrolled through.

"That is not full then. I could still enjoy the treatment here later if I can't go to the spa. I am sure they offer home services, right?"

"His majesty sent a teacher from the palace to teach you here in Star city. You will meet the teacher after lunch today."

Rose smiled. Why did it seem that they were trying to keep her fully occupied that she won't have any extra time for other thing.

"This was the information I got from his Majesty this morning," her assistant explained to her firmly more like daring her to disobey the order of the king, her father.

"Are you my assistant? How comes I don't know of all the plans," Rose said calmly as she began eating while watching her assistant.

"His majesty said that you have a lot of free time and you might as well learn a lot of things that you could not learn while in the orphanage," her assistant was bold enough to give her such response.

Even with the respect in her assistant's tone, Rose could not help but feel disrespected due to what the lady just said to her.

She hoped Liam was listening and he will find away to get her out of this problem.

"I will meet with my friends first today before meeting anyone else. I have enough free time now but when I am with them it won't be a free time anymore, right?"

Her assistant's eyes twitched slightly but she bowed her head until her chin almost touched her chest.

"My father knows nothing of my schedule that's why he thinks my schedule is not busy at all but that's where you have to step in and play your role as a messenger.

"You are to tell him I have plans. Okay?"

Her assistant did not reply as she watched her while she continued eating her meal.

The assistant who was still moved and tapped on the screen of the tablet she held before raising her head.

"His majesty said you are not aware of some of the role you are to play as a Royal and the heir to the throne so he wants your movements and outings monitored.

"He is scared that you are going to do something that will bring disgrace to the Royal family. I have sent the schedule he asked his secretary to send to me.

"It is just the perfect schedule for someone from the Royal family and no one will get the opportunity to hurt you.

"It is both for your safety and to give no one any opportunity to take unsightly pictures of you."

Rose found all she heard funny. Staring at her assistant, she had no idea if this assistant of hers was for her or against her.

She looked down at the dishes on the table and smiled slightly. She said nothing as she hoped Liam will try to investigate who her assistant was working for precisely.

"Your highness, the fate of the southern kingdom rests on your shoulder," she heard her assistant say suddenly.

She lifted her head to look at the lady sitting across her with a calm countenance but her mind was in a state of confusion.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Pretend you agree with everything that has been planned for you. Go with the flow. If you do against the plans the north has for you, you will end up living a wasted life."

"What do you mean?" Rose asked with her brow furrowed ever so slightly.

"Is it not easy to differentiate a northerner from a southerner? I am obviously a southerner and I hope you bring justice to the South."

Rose scoffed with an uninterested expression as she dropped her gaze from the lady before her who refused to hit the nail on its head.

She continued eating without giving regards to the lady before her.

The assistant was not happy with the fact that she got ignored despite talking about something serious like that.

"You seem to know what is going on," the assistant continued trying to get her attention.

"What is going on? What justice? Isn't the most flourishing city in the world in the south?"

"No, can't you see what is happening? My father died when I was sixteen. He was killed by a police in A city. He was a scientist who went there for a seminar.

"He was with his friends and three of them died. The only survivor was a northerner.

"They killed them all brutally and blamed it on armed robbers but they had no idea that my father always carried a pen he always carried around for protection and evidence keeping.

"That pen had an inbuilt camera and it showed everything. I could find out all that happened that night through the video.

"They cursed my father for being southern and refusing an offer they gave him to join a research party.

"I found those policemen only to discover they belonged to a secret bureau created by the Royal council.

"I chose to serve you when I went to the palace to investigate the connection of the Royal council to what happened to my father and his friends because I believe that you were here to bring justice to the South.

"I vowed to protect your life in every way I can because that way, I could have the courage to ask you to avenge my father's death.

"Your mother, a lot of us believe she was killed by the north. A few of us from the south are beginning to notice the different way we are been mistreated by the north.

"You have to behave appropriately to fully gain what you need to avenge for us. We are not all after a division because we know that will only lead to war since the north benefits a lot from the union.

"However, we believe you will be able to help us nonetheless. Your father has your schedule planned out for you.

"I don't think it is right for you to go against it because your position is not secured yet.

"You have to live accordingly because if you don't, you lose your position as heir and that will make us all lose hope."

"Why are you telling me all these? How can I be the hope of the Southerners after all my father is a northerner?"

"You are the sole direct line of the southern royal family."

"Shouldn't you go to the Queen? She is also a southerner."

"She is not of the direct line and her selfish desires exceeds your imagination. No one trusts her either the Southerners or northerners."

"What makes you think I don't have selfish desires after all my mother sold the kingdom to the north through her marriage and when she met with our mortal enemies."

"A lot of us believe it was only a set up. We did not believe it before but now we do. We believe she was framed and killed so the north could take over.

"The elders know that very well. They knew that was going to happen from the moment your mother got married to your father.

"They protested and tried to fight it but they could not go against it when the late king of the south persuaded them.

"Your mother made a foolish move but that was because she was blinded by love. She also fell in love with the wrong person."

Rose laughed coldly.. This woman was very bold to speak ill of her mother and father in her presence. Wasn't she scared of making her get agitatedly angry?
