Guys That's my first book cover. I designed it.
How's it?
Anthony's POV:
I laid on my bed all day just thinking about my Aria. Everything about her is beautiful. I want her in my arms, right now and all night. She's so soft, I love that soft body of hers. I can't even concentrate for once without thinking about that angel.
The way she speaks, just gives me joy. Herself esteem is what drew me closer to her. The way she uses words, is different from any other maidens here. She's a very educated woman and I love that.
A knock on the door disturbed my thoughts. Heavens... let it be my angel knocking on the door.
"Come in".
And then came in grandmother. How stupid of me to think Aria would come to my room by this time even though I've given her the privilege to do so.
"Good afternoon my grandchild". Grandma greeted with a tint of annoyance lacing out of her voice.
"Same to you grandmother".
"This is the highest insult I've received today, for the fact you're king now, it doesn't stop you from greeting me first".
"I apologies grandma".
"Yeah, you're still the same arrogant and nonchalant child I've known you for".
"That's your grandchild ma". I said and smirked delightfully.
Grandmother smiled, shook her head and replied sitting on a sofa.
"Your father is still disturbing you on getting a wife".
Her bringing up that topic just got me annoyed but I concealed it.
"Grandmother you know your grandchild answer already". I spoke sternly.
"Of course I know your usual reply is 'no'. He should let you marry at your own time... You're just waiting for the right woman to come by even though she's right under my nose". She answered mischievously.
What does she mean by right under her nose? Why is she now supporting me, last year she loved my father idea of bringing different maidens from different country to pick a wife, in which I declined. Now she's telling me marry at my own time. Women!
"But don't waste time in grabbing her because I need a great grandchild". She spoke once more.
What is wrong with parents and giving them a heir especially when It's you who would carry up the responsibility and not them.
"I've heard you grandmother".
I'll love to give birth to three children with Aria but first I should think on how I would deeply enter her. Fuck Anthony...think straight.
"So... I've you found your mate yet?" She asked with a smile.
"Why bother asking 😒". I asked too narrowing my eyes to her.
"Well... Because I just found your match and she will definitely change your annoying character for a good".
"And you trust that woman?"
"Yes of course".
"If so keep her to yourself I don't need her".
If not Aria then it's nobody else.
"Oh come on, look who's talking... You'll still be that person craving for her soon on your bed". Grandma said wiggling her eyebrows in a suspicious way.
As an old woman she still has a bad mindset.
"Yah... Whatever".
I replied boringly, and close my eyes to keep thinking of my Aria.
Grandma, got up and left my room with a smile I couldn't lay emphasis on.
It was evening and I left my room heading to the dinning room for supper, I got there and sat on my usual spot.
Father was sited, so as Kiran, mother, Mrs. Margaret and grandmother.
The kitchen maiden started placing the dishes on the table... And a smile crawled up my face when I saw my Aria entering into the dinning with a jug of water and 6 glass cups on a tray.
She placed the tray on the table and started serving the dishes. She was now standing close to me as she served my food. I wrapped my arm around her slender waist and drew her closer to me.
And fuck... She smells good.
I heard her arm signaling she should bring her ears closer. When my parents weren't watching she bent a little.
"Don't put too much food on my plate unless you want to eat with me right now". I whispered to her ears and sucked her earlobes.
She made a silent gaps covering her mouth a little and nodded her head immediately standing up straight and left the dinning room.
Such a sweet being. Don't worry next time I'll lick that cute face of yours.
We all started eating our supper when grandma spoke.
"This food is amazing, if it's all because of Aria... She needs a standing ovation".
Absolutely true grandma, absolutely true... Instead a peck from me.
"Yes mother... She's the best". Father complimented.
"And... And she's a good teacher". Kiran said proudly stuffing his mouth with his food.
She is? What makes him say that?
"Why say so honey?" Mum asked.
"She taught me math yesterday on mathematical symbols and I scored 10/10".
My parents and I were shock to here this. Maidens of this kingdom aren't educated but Aria I trust my Aria she's capable of anything.
"That's nice, from now on she'll tutor you and pay her any amount of her choice". Father said.
Why does father have an interest on my Aria? What support does he want to give her?
"Yeah yeah... We'll discuss that later on". Grandma said.
"Go call Aria for me". Grandma ordered a stand by maiden.
And in minutes there came in my flower standing in an adjacent position facing us.
"Aria I called you here to appreciate you for the delicious meal being prepared this evening". Grandma appreciated with a genuine smile.
And then my Aria smiled, her smiles just ignited something in my body and I couldn't understand it. I saw myself craving for her.
"I'm most welcome your highness, I'm just doing my job". She said humbly.
Here she talks like a princess and she doesn't know how pretty she looks standing there.
Grandma smiled at her composure of word.
"You'll be a personal maid to my grandson, Anthony". Grandma said shocking us all at the dinning.
I stared at Aria to see her mouth opened in shock.
"Grandmother... No my son doesn't need a maiden like her, he is fine without any personal assistant". Mother objected.
"Dear Esther I know what my grandchild need, Anthony here needs special care... He needs someone to know when he's under the weather and treat him immediately". Grandma suggested.
"And he's my son and I know what's better for him... You can choose another maiden but not this trash". Mum said eyeing at Aria in disgust.
Why do mum hate Aria so much? Her insulting Aria got me annoyed. Who is she to do that?
"Esther calm down and understand what mother is trying to say". Father supported Grandma's idea.
"I said no David... I don't what that slave, that dustbin, that good for nothing.... "
" Shut up mother.... Shut up". I yelled at her as I boiled in anger.
"Son... "
" Mother Shut it... Do I look like I'm complaining... Did you ask for my opinion before insulting her... This should be last time I hear does words from you". I shouted at her and continued
"I agree with Grandma's decision and it's final". I lastly spoke,staring at everyone with rage.
When my eyes landed at Aria's cute face. My harden expression dropped as I stared at her being calm.
I don't have any problem with Aria being my personal maid, if that's going to bring her closer to me I want it, if that's gonna make me see and touch her, I need it.
Aria you are my personal maid from hence forth.
