Pregnant For The Royal Prince

….. Two Weeks Later…..

THE room was quite airy and so cool as the soft voice of Ali Gatie filled the air. Prince Raghav sat at his dining, watering his gullets with fruits, a maid has just dropped the plate of watermelon, sliced and prepared to his taste.

He was working on his laptop too. A slight knock came on the door, and he subconsciously glanced at it.

“Come in”, he said and sat up properly.

The door opened to reveal The boss, in his usual charismatic manner of authority. Raghav sighed, turning back to his laptop.

The boss briskly walked up to the Prince and bowed.

“Your Grace”, he said.

“Speak”, Raghav ordered, his eyes still fixed on the laptop.

The boss cleared his throat, standing straight up, and putting his hands behind him.

“It’s My Lady, my Prince”, he said in a deep baritone.

Raghav looked up at once, his eyes depicting worry. What was wrong? Has anything gone wrong? His eyes asked.

The boss noticed his uneasiness and smiled.

“Not at all Your Grace, she is home now, Larry already reported for the day”, he said to allay his fears.

It actually did, because he gave a long sigh of relief, and tilted his head.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“So what?”, he asked.

“Actually Your Grace, it’s just out of concern for her that I have to say what I’m about to say”.

“Go on”, he nudged trying to see if he could read out his mind, gosh! He was taking his whole damn time in the world to spill the beans.

“My Prince, for the past two weeks now I have noticed the seemingly closeness between Dylan, our new recruit and Larry, her chauffeur. He’s becoming so close to him that at times, they both go together to take her to school, and take her home as well. I smell a rat”, he paused to let him digest the piece of information.

Raghav nodded slowly, passing a piece of sliced watermelon into his mouth.

“Not only that My Prince….”, he continued, “…. I’ve also noticed his sudden niceness to My Lady, it’s alarming. I do not know if His Grace makes out any sense from what I’m trying to say”, he slightly bowed.

Hmm, Raghav dropped the fork in the plate and placed his left hand on the table, relaxing his chin on the palm, thinking.

Actually, he had also smelt a rat, noticing the same thing as The boss has just said. What a witty guy! He clicked his fingers, racking his brain, thinking.

As intelligent as he was, he instantly thought of a plan, he simpered and turned his gaze to The boss.

“You know Saheed, I’ve actually had a suspecting encounter with him earlier on”, he licked his pink lips.

The boss nodded, he knew.

“And you have actually told me to place an eagle eye on him, which I did”, he supported.

Raghav picked up the fork and plunged on a watermelon and straight into his mouth, he dropped the cutlery, munching on the fruit in his mouth.

“Now, I think we are much more than convinced that he is here on a mission, but whatever the mission is, I don’t know”, he said, “give me a pen and paper”, he demanded.

The boss bowed, then walked over to his study to get his demands. He returned with a sheet of paper, and a ball point pen, then handed them to him, placing it on the table in front of him.

Raghav picked up the pen and began writing on the paper. When he was done, he placed the pen on the paper, and shoved it to The boss.

“Go through that and keep our plans cool and secret”, Raghav said, his voice suddenly becoming cold.

The boss picked up the pen and paper, went through it and nodded in consent.

“Okay my Prince, noted”, then he turned to return the pen where he had gotten it from.

After that, he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Raghav was standing by the window overlooking the palace entrance the next afternoon, when the palace gates slid open, and a Bugatti Veyron slowly drove in.

He watched as the car drove to the entrance of the palace building and halted. The front door instantly opened and Dylan alighted, then opened the back door almost immediately, Rina sauntered out, looking as exquisite as always.

Raghav scoffed, Dylan again? Well now, he is so much convinced that Dylan was there for a mission, and that whatever mission, was concerning his princess.

He continued watching and saw her tucking in properly, whilst Dylan whispered into her ears laughing, and she smiled. Raghav slightly frowned.

She began walking into the building while he walked over to the booth of the car, took out her bag, and ran to catch up with her. Then the car peacefully drove to the parking lot.

“Come on my Lady, you know I would do anything for you”, Dylan said as he walked cautiously behind her, carrying her bag.

Rina stiffened a laugh.

“I just told you Dylan, no one troubled me in school, and thanks”, she smiled.

“Alright my Lady, I’m always at your service”, he said, showing off his thirty two.

Two maids walked past them.

“Welcome my Lady”, they both greeted, genuflecting.

Rina nodded. But jeez, she really wasn’t used to this kind of life.

They got to the Prince’s chamber and dylan rushed forward to press on the doorbell, then opened it with the knob.

“Thank you”, she said and went in, then Dylan followed.

Rina saw him standing by the window and she ran up to him, then wrapped her arms around him from behind, placing her head on his back.

“Mi amor”, she whispered, savouring his cologne, perfume and all.

Dylan dropped the bag he was with on the couch, and turned towards the Prince.

“Your Grace”, he bowed and turned to leave.

“Dylan”, the Prince called, jolting him to halt in his tracks.

“Yes your Grace”, he replied and turned towards him, he was still overlooking the window, Rina still had her arms wrapped around him.

“Go find The boss, he has something for you”, Raghav said.

Dylan’s left eye twitched.

“Okay my Prince”, then he bowed and finally left the room.

“Babe?”, Raghav called and turned to face Rina, pecking her on the forehead.

“You seem to have a new friend”, he said.

She rolled her eyes, putting up a surprise look.

“I don’t get”, she said.

He tilted his head towards the door and winked.

Oh! Rina bursted into laughter, now she got it.

“Okay dear, first of all, he isn’t a friend okay? He’s just a staff I trust, or should I say, beginning to trust”, she replied, opening her two arms.

He nodded.

“Indeed”.

She laughed.

“Come on, it’s nothing”, she hugged him again.

“How was your day?”, he asked.

“Very fine. We had a test, scored the highest”, she replied.

“Oh really? My princess scored the highest?”.

“Yeah”.

“Well you should, because I pay my ass out in there, for you. So you should”, he said looking away.

“Wh… what!”, she bursted into another bout of laughter, disengaging from the hug. Raghav smiled, how he so much loves making her laugh.

“Hmmmmmm”, he sighed and ran his hands through his hair. Rina looked at him.

“You seem tired, you been working from home?”, she asked.

He didn’t give a reply, he just kept mute and sighed more. Rina folded her arms.

“Thought I told you to rest huh? Babe, I told you to rest, you so need it. I mean, you been so busy, you…”, he planted a kiss on her lips to shut her up.

“I am fine”, and he began walking to the bed.

She sighed, stubborn soul.

“Alright, I’ll go freshen up, and make you something”, she said and began removing her shoes.

Raghav sat as he watched her did her thing.

“Just be very careful of him”, he suddenly said.

“Huh?”, she looked up with a start.

“You heard me”, he turned his back on her and picked up his phone which laid on the bed.

Slowly, she turned back to what she was doing, a lot of things going through her mind.

She should be careful of who exactly? Dylan? Hahaha, that kind and jovial soul? He couldn’t even hurt a fly, she shook her head.

But why would Raghav say that? There must be something, but jeez, this is someone she had already given a permit to come pick her up alone from school, the next tomorrow.

Huh? Raghav looked up at once, and their eyes met.
