Prince Edric, having declared Genevieve as his, and no one else should look her way, and all rumors that kept spreading in the palace should come to a halt.
As the days passed by, Genevieve found herself more bonded and comfortable with Edric in her role as the prince's personal servant. She had been taken with attending to his every need, from pouring his bathwater to helping him dress to state occasions also.
Even other minor maids had no place in the prince's quarter like they used to before. Genevieve turned to the only servant who serves the prince.
The prince, on the very first day, was distant and formal, but as time went on, he began to relax in her presence. He would smile at Genevieve or make a wry comment about the absurdity of Court life and how nobody, even the king, his father, had ever supported or agreed to whatever opinions he had brought. Not until the prince had publicly declared Genevieve as his.
