Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 Friends stay in your heart forever

William didn’t take the news of Doris going into the village with Beth very well. He insisted that she take his guards with her, but that would only cause more curious glances. Eventually he let it go, because he knew he had to. This was the first trip Doris and Beth would have in their freedom.

“Don’t you look like a doll!” Beth grinned when she saw Doris hurry down the steps. Doris wore a lovely light pink dress with a matching sun hat and cloak on top. The snow had finally melted off the ground and gave her a reason to want to dress pretty for her first outing “I had to try and look as lovely as you.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” Doris grinned and wrapped her arm through hers. Doris had made sure Beth was sent new clothes overnight so she didn’t have to look at the maids uniform any longer. She wore a light green day dress with a black cloak on top. “I’m surprised that William let you come out!” Beth laughed. They walked down the front steps and the guards didn’t pay them more than a glance. Doris even held her breath for a moment, expecting them to say anything. But they didn’t, they let them go because they were free. “He didn’t want me to. He wanted us to travel with a guard but I thought it would be so much more obvious if we did something like that.” Doris glanced back at the palace as they made their way down the path towards the nearest village. No one had followed. “I wouldn’t let you out if I were him either. Any man would fall over themselves just to have you!” Beth grinned. She seemed so happy and excited, she looked as if a large weight had fallen off her shoulders and it was the first time Doris had noticed it. She wondered if she looked the same.

The village walk took a lot longer than they expected, but once they arrived it was filled with excitement.

“Oh my! It looks like it’s a market day!” Doris bounced on her toes before she calmed herself. They were supposed to blend in, not act like fools.

Beth seemed to think the same. She instantly tried to cool her features as they wandered through the streets lined with small booths. There were some with flowers, jars of jam, books, even clothes. Doris saw homemade jewelry and leather notebooks for sale, it was all so exciting,

The girls went to every single booth. Doris bought a few unique books that she knew would never be in the library as well as a jar of homemade jam. She knew she didn’t need any of it since she had all she needed and more at the palace, but it felt good to spend a little of her coin on simple things. It made her feel… happy. Beth was no better. She bought herself a dress, lovely little hair pins and marmalade. When her back was turned, Doris bought a small gift for her friend and shoved it deep in her pocket before Beth could see what it was.

After searching through every booth, the girls ventured off the the main street and towards the middle of the village where it was a lot calmer.

“I’ve never felt such a rush in my life!” Beth gasped. Her cheeks were red as if she had just run a mile.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) She looked down at her items with the biggest smile on her face, “No one even looked at me as if I was a maid!

They just thought I was one of them!” “You’re not a maid anymore, Beth.” Doris bumped her shoulder. “You’re so much more and you always have been.”

Beth smiled a little and opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Doris pulled her   friend towards a small bakery on the end of town. “I hope they have things for lunch, but I wouldn’t mind just eating pastries.”

“Oh, Beth…” Doris felt tears prickle her eyes. She had no idea Enzo was leaving too. “I’m so happy for you.” Beth looked up with a light in her eyes. “You are? I was so afraid to tell you, I didn’t want to break your heart.”

“Love another friend more than you? Are you mad! There is no other friend I could ever love more than you, you will always be my best friend.” Beth smiled through her tears. “I always thought it would be you and me out there.” “Me too.” Doris whispered. “Promise you will come visit my baby when they’re born.” “I’m coming for an entire month when you have the baby! You won’t be able to get rid of me!” Beth grinned. She reached across to wipe the stray tear from Doris’s cheek. “You better tell me when it’s coming so I can get here in time.”
