Servant of the Heart

The king stood on the large balcony overlooking the large, groomed garden and breathed in the sweet smell of the roses. A light glimmer caught his eye making him turn and focus on what looked like his son walking with a girl. "Who is that Paul?" He asked his confidant.

"That? That's your son."

"No, who's with him?"

"One of the girls from the neighboring house."

"I can't have him hanging around with random loose girls!"

"You knew he was going to become interested eventually." Paul laughed.

"Yes, but he's sixteen! I have to find him a bed mate then." The king watched his son hug the girl before they parted. "I know a man who's anxious about trying to find a better life for his daughter… a poor man. I think I'll talk to him about possibly taking her in."

"Wait… you're serious about this? I don't think Prince Darien will…"

"What do you know about my son? He's my boy after all! I know what's best for him… I can't let him run around with various girls. No, it's best that we hire a girl for that. She'll be happy, he'll be happy, our family saves face, everyone wins."

"What happens if he conceives a child with this servant girl?"

"He won't, we'll put her on the shot. Until I secure a proper wife he'll have his servant.

"I don't agree with you but If you think you're doing the right thing then…"

"Of course I am. Now, if you'll excuse me I have a phone call to make. The king walked to his study and found the number of the man with the daughter for hire.

"Hello?"

"Hello is this Mr. Tsukino?"

"Yes…"

"Yes, this is King Edward. I spoke with you about your daughter…"

"Oh! Yes, your majesty. How can I be of service to you?"

"I find myself in need of a young lady to help around the palace… I believe your daughter was available?"

"Yes! Certainly."

"How old is the girl?"

"Well, she came to us when she was only a baby, she's fifteen now."

"She's adopted?"

"Yes."

"What do you know of her history?"

"Nothing. But we've raised her proper and you won't have any trouble with her. She'll do as she's told."

"Perfect! I will take her in. She will have room and board and will never want for anything."

"Thank you so much!" The man on the phone was grateful that his daughter would have a better life than that of a farmer.

"What time can you have her here?"

"Uh… in an hour?"

"Good, I will see you both in an hour." The king smiled and hung up the phone. Perfect. A good age and we know nothing of her real family. I couldn't have asked for more.

"I got here as soon as I could your majesty." The farmer bowed to the king. Beside him a young and beautiful blonde girl curtsied and kept her eyes on the floor so she would seem respectful.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice. I trust you've said your goodbyes to her."

"Oh… yes… this is both a sad and joyous day for me."

"I'm sure. Well girl stand up and let me take a good look at you." The king demanded and stepped close to her. She stood up straight with perfect posture and fixed her eyes straight ahead. The king circled her quickly but was frustrated with the bagginess of her clothing. "Well Mr. Tsukino we'll take her. Here is some money for your loss and Thank you!" The king smiled and dismissed the man who quickly hugged his daughter and quickly left. "What's your name?"

"Serena." She kept her eyes lowered.

"Well Serena, your cloths are appalling. Let's get you changed into something more fit for a palace servant yes?"

"Yes your majesty." She nodded and followed him into another room where there were women taking peoples' measurements for clothing.

"Undress." He ordered and stood with his arms crossed.

"Pardon?"

"Undress yourself." He raised an eyebrow and watched as her blue eyes widened and filled with fear. "Come on girl, hurry it up we don't have all day to take your measurements." With shaky hands she undressed herself down to her undergarments and stood nervously as one of the women approached her. "Take those off too." He nodded at her undergarments.

"She doesn't need to…"

"I said, take them off!" He shouted and glared at the servant woman. Serena closed her eyes and undressed. He smiled when she complied and circled her once again. "You're a very beautiful young girl you know that?"

"Thank you your majesty." She said with a frightened tone.

"Don't be so frightened girl. I have no interest in girls as young as yourself." He laughed. "I'm simply examining you for my son."

"The prince?"

"Yes, he's of the age that he needs a young woman to… relieve his tensions. That's what your job is."

"I'm…"

"You're his personal servant. Anything he wants you do it. I don't care what it is. Whether it's breakfast or some kind of sexual need you will meet his demands."

"I think we have something for you dear." The woman at her feet smiled with sympathy.

"Good, get it for her. I want her to look good for my son. Get her a shower, a hair trim, and a deppo shot as well. I'll be back in an hour and I expect her to be ready." He said firmly and walked out.

"Did he just tell me I'm a prostitute for his son?"

"Yes…he did." The women nodded together and began their work."

If she were a few years older I'd claim her for myself. The king smiled to himself. That's okay… I'll have her when I find him a proper wife. He walked to the garden where Darien was fencing against his closest confidant. "Son, we need to talk."

"Yes father?" Darien excused himself then walked to his father.

"I need to talk to you about girls."

"Girls? What about them?"

"I've noticed that you've taken a liking to them."

"A little… why?"

"Well, I think it's time for you to have your very own personal servant."

"Why?"

"Because, I want you to have one. She'll do anything you want… and I mean that."

"Are you trying to tell me that you've hired on a prostitute?"

"She's not a prostitute. She's a beautiful and nice young lady. You'll like her and you can do what you want with her."

"I'm not so sure that's right… I mean… I don't love her and I couldn't do anything like that without…"

"Love? Let me tell you something about love. The only people you should love are your parents and your legitimate children. Sex isn't about love, it's about making your body feel good and producing children."

"Father! You mean to tell me you didn't love mother?" Darien's blue eyes were angry as they clashed with the blue of his father's eyes.

"No. She was a tool. She made me feel better and produced you… my only child and heir to the throne. Now, come along and meet your new servant."

"I don't want a servant."

"Nonsense. Come on." The king grabbed his son's arm and drug him into the large palace and to the front hall where a small teenage girl stood in a beautiful pink silk dress and long blonde pigtails that fell from two buns on her head. Seeing the two enter she curtsied. Much better. The king smiled and watched his son's eyes light up. "Son, I'd like you to meet Serena."

"How do you do Prince Darien." She held her pose.

"Nice to meet you Serena." He smiled and took her hand. "You don't have to stay like that you know?" His voice was soothing and calm.

"I'll leave you two alone then. Remember what I said Serena." The king winked and walked out of the room leaving them alone.

"He's gone so you don't have to be so formal." Darien encouraged her hoping she'd look at him. "Hey!" He lifted her chin and locked eyes with her. "Whatever he said, ignore him. I can do what I want with you and so… can we make an agreement that nothing is going to transpire between us unless we both consent?"

"That's the best thing I've heard all day!" She exclaimed and hugged him. She knew it was out of line but the fact that he could actually be a good guy floored her. After he'd gotten over the shock Darien smiled and wrapped his arms around her to return her hug.

"Don't worry Serena… I won't hurt you." He pulled away and smiled at her. "Why don't I show you around? Then maybe I'll find you something to eat?"

"That sounds wonderful Prince Darien!"

"Please… no formalities. Darien or Dare is fine with me when my father's not around." He lightly took her delicate hand and led her around the castle. Though the palace was a fascinating place to a poor farm girl she was more interested in the kind prince who held her hand. He was well built for seventeen and she could tell that he'd be even more so when he was older. His black hair shone under the lights, accenting his deep blue eyes that held so much kindness in them it was a wonder he had such a heartless father. Though she'd never met him before she felt as though she knew him and that she was safe around him. "You look hungry… are you?" He asked her with a concerned look.

"A little."

"Let's go to the kitchen then. I'll race you?"

"Oh… in this dress I…"

"Whoops, sorry, I didn't even think about it. We'll walk." Darien led her to the kitchen where his friend was helping to prepare dinner.

"Hello Prince Darien." Andrew nodded as his eyes fixed on Serena.

"Hey Andrew. Drew, Serena, Serena, Drew." Darien introduced them. "He's my best pal."

"Well, maybe not for long huh?" Andrew winked at her making her blush. "What can I get you two?"

"What would you like?"

"What are my options?"

"Anything you want. Of course!"

"I'll have what you want." She looked at Darien.

"Okay, two chicken Caesar sandwiches on wheat bread and… a chocolate shake."

"You crack me up Dare." Andrew laughed and made their food. "Here. Have fun." Andrew went back to the dinner but watched Serena walk out happily trailing after Darien. Cute girl… I wonder if she'd like an actual boyfriend?

"So… where would you like to eat?"

"I don't know… where do you like to eat?"

"I like to eat in the rose garden by the fountain."

"Let's go out there then." She smiled. "Lead the way!" She giggled and followed him out to the garden where the roses were in full bloom and their scent floated on the wind.

"I'm sorry about this whole thing… my father must have seen me with one of the neighbor girls and freaked."

"Oh? So you have a girlfriend?" She sulked slightly.

"No. She's just one of those girls who needs someone to talk to about all of her problems. I'm sure he'll have her banned and she'll wind up in prison someday."

"Ouch… harsh."

"It may be harsh but it's true." Darien sighed. "What's your story Serena?"

"My story?"

"Yeah, where are you from, so on so forth?"

"Oh, I don't really know where I'm from… my parents adopted me when I was one after they found me on their doorstep one night. Since then I've been a poor farm girl just trying to get by."

"Well, now you live in a palace and you get to hang out with me. Isn't that a fairytale come true?"

"Yeah… that's how Disney spins it… I don't know I always wanted to travel and see the world… You know? Expand my horizons, do great things."

"I'll make that happen for you. If you have to go everywhere with me that means you travel where I travel and do what I do."

"How did you come out so great?"

"I'd like to think it was my mother's doing. It was her duty to raise me until she fell ill and died… she made me who I am." He smiled, finished his shake and lay down on the large fountain rim. "I'm glade you're here… I think we'll get along just fine."
