Jane set the temperature of the water as Rui walked in. She was again dumbfounded as her gaze travelled along the curves of Rui. Rui who was used to this did not give this any thought and went ahead to wash up.
Jane called for the maids to clean out the room n change of the sheets and went ahead to prepare the table.
As Rui descended the stairs, there was a spread of lavish breakfast on the table. Jane gave the iPad with the days item art to her mistress.
Rui with her eyebrows raised " when was my meeting with Duke Esther scheduled? As far as I remember I had asked not to give him a slot till next year?"
"Lady, that was your father's order, we couldn't do much"Jane shrugged her shoulder.
"Ok then! Let's get going for the day. Let's see what this curse brings for me..(or is it a blessing in disguise?)"Rui said bracing herself for the long day ahead.
Jane saw Rui leaving the palace and quickly collected Rui's laptop,food,makeup,clothes for the day and hurried after her.
There was a lot going through Rui's mind so she didn't notice someone standing infornt of her while she was heading for her office door. "Oh! So sorry didn't notice. Wow what a…" She stopped mid sentence as she noticed a remarkable handsome face. There he stood Duke Esther quite astonished by Rui's expression.
"Well hello Princess Rui. I'm Esther Longheart, Duke of Pershire. We had a date today for 4pm…." "Date?" Rui screamed. She calmed herself down after she lost her composure.( Ok Rui you can handle it as always).
" Since when does the famous Duke Esther Longheart needs dates to be setup by others. What I heard last was your admirers reached the borders of Devenwood (that's 1300 km for his estate)" Rui said with a smirk .
Esther really liked her cute expression. "Princess what you heard are rumours, as I'm not interested in those vile creatures . They don't evoke my interest in any way. What I'm more intrigued about is you my lady."
