Chapter 28
1067 Words
You watch as the King sits on the bed completely devastated and defeated by a man that he deeply trusted. You know that Lord Walton was the one who kidn*pped you and you want him to suffer for what he did but you never thought that the King will be the one that suffers. You never thought that the friendship that they had between them was this strong.
You go to the kitchen and get a bowl with water and a cloth. This time it is your turn to patch up the King as he once did it for you, only yesterday. You walked over to him like a tiger walking towards his prey, afraid that you might scare him off.
You sit next to him on the bed and you put your hand on his face, turning it towards you. Then your eyes meet and you cannot help but see tears forming behind his eyes.
"Oh, James, I am so sorry..."
You see him giving you a small smile as if he wants to show you that he appreciates your words. You then wet the cloth and softly press it against his face to clean the wound that he got from being hit. As you press the cloth against his face he moans a little with pain.
You wonder by yourself how is he going to explain to the people what happened to his face. He must still go and see the President of Germany. You are sure that it is not a good thing to talk about peace when your face looks like that.
"James, I am so sorry. I am so so-"
He grabs your hand that is wiping down his face and then he looks into your eyes with an urgency.
"Angel, you have nothing to say sorry for. This was all him and if you did not tell me about him, I would not have found out that my kingdom, could be in trouble"
You swallow loudly at the thought that the kingdom could be in trouble and that Lord Walton had something to do with it.
"What do you mean?"
He stands up from the bed and starts to pace. You know by now that when the King paces it is something very serious.
"I have sent my men to the room where I tied up Lord Walton and I have asked them to take him back to our land. We can not continue with this tour as I need to go and deal with the trouble at home. The thing with Lord Walton is not just about you being kidn*pped but it has to do with me and my kingdom"
He starts to tell you everything that he and Lord Walton spoke about. Then he carries on about how the kingdom will fall and that he needs to get home to secure his own Kingdom.
"James, that is just horrible. How can I help you in any way?"
He stops to pace and then walk over to the bed where you are still sitting with the cloth in your hand. He takes your hand and puts it on his chest.
"Angel, just you being around me and I knowing that you are here for me is so much more than what anyone can do for me right now. All I need is for you to love me and I want you to know that I love you"
You can not help but feel loved and as if you belong to him. But then it hit you that how are you going to be with him if you get home again? The princess does not know about you and the King.
"James, I love you more than anything. These past few days you truly showed me that I am the only woman in your life. But I do not see how I would be able to be there for you if we get back home"
Then you see the King frowns as he looks with a question in his eyes.
"What do you mean you would not be able to be there for me? Do you have someone waiting for you at home?"
You almost laugh at his question and you smile while answering him.
"No, god no, it's only you. I mean to say, what about the princess?"
THE KING
Then it is as if he remembers that she is still in his life. When he first met her she was not even close to the annoyance level that she is right now. If he sees her face now, he really feels like vomiting a little bit in his mouth. Then, just as he wants to open his mouth and tell you that he is going to tell her it is off and she must move out, he stops himself.
The kingdom will not be able to handle the princess leaving the King at this particular moment. The people will not know what is going on and they will start to feel insecure. If there is some underground conspiracy going on in his Kingdom then he can not afford to let them know that he knows by changing things.
Everything should carry on as usual and the princess should think that they are still going on with the wedding. He learned a lot of things from his father and one of the things was to never let the enemy know you know about their plans.
"Angel, I am going to need one more thing from you"
"Anything. You can ask me anything and I will do it"
"I have to carry on with the wedding with the princess and-"
LADY WINTERS
You feel shock and horror filling your being by his words and you can not help standing up abruptly. You walk towards the window and fold your arms just staring out in front of you.
You did tell him that you will do anything but him marrying the princess was not one of the things you would allow. Just the thought of him touching the princess's hand or kissing her on the cheek makes you want to cry for days on end. Because he belongs to you now and no other woman is allowed to touch him.
"I know I said that I would do anything but this...this I can not do. I will not do it…I am sorry"
