Our trip back home was immensely quiet. I sat in the helicopter in silence with tears streaming down my face, staring out the window looking at Locatlie, the country I could've been the queen of. When the helicopter landed. I unfastened my thousands of seatbelts and I opened ht door myself.
"Julia?" Hugo stated and I looked at him as I grabbed my bag "I'm really sorry"
'it's fine." I lied and he rolled his eyes at my comment. "I hope that the other girl can make you happy and I wish you nothing but the best in your life" I said and I stood on the top of my toes, as I gave his cheek a kiss. I looked into his eyes and I let out a small breath. "Nothing but the best" I said and I then gave him one last peck, I didn't want it to end though. I let go and I let out a broken breath before walking towards the car. I threw the bag in the backseat and sat next to it. I closed the door behind me and I looked at Hugo whom was standing with his back facing me, he didn't even have the decency to look at me.
The moment I arrived back at my chambers or whatever, I laid in my bed and cried myself to sleep.
The next morning, I got woken up by Lea whom stormed in. "You-"
"Yeah yeah shower" I said annoyed. "What's even the point" I muttered under my breath as I went to the bathroom and I closed the door. I took a longer shower and when I got out, I looked at the mirror that was here. I had huge circles under my eyes and my eyes were bloodshot.
I walked into the room and I saw that they were all softly speaking to one another, until I opened the door. They then looked up at me and they all looked worried. Something that annoyed me.
"what happened yesterday Julia?" Lea said carefully as I went and sat down and I snapped my fingers annoyed to the make-up artists to get started. "Did Hugo hurt you in any way? If that is the case, you can tell me. I will file a complaint" She stated right away "And he will be punished. Did he force you to do anything that"
"Please just stop" I sighed as I closed my eyes as the make-up artists started on my eyes right away, as that was needed. "Hugo was just brutally honest about my prospects"
"What do you mean?"
"He made it very clear to me, after probably the best 24 hours I've ever spend in my entirely crappy shitty fucked up life" I said annoyed as the anger in my body, I had never experienced anything like this. "That he did not chose me and that he would not change his mind" I said. "So, what is the fucking point of today?" I said opening my eyes looking at Lea whom was staring at me with tears in her eyes. "What is the point of probably having another great fucking day with one of your brothers, if there's no shot in hell of me to become the queen. What has been the point of the past weeks? What has been the point of the past years?" I said as tears started to roll down my cheeks. "What has been the point?" I said and I then broke as I covered my face and Lea slowly walked up to me.
"Julia" She said very carefully as she put her hands on my knees. "Even though Hugo thinks he does, he does not have the veto power at the end of the day. A thing you should know about Hugo, something we all know, including Will, is that he thinks that he is better than Will. He believes that he should have been the Leader King. He thinks he has that power, but he doesn't. He doesn't make that choice"
"But if I do get chosen, I'll know" I said, my eyes opening, looking into her brown eyes. Darn those Locatlie eyes. "You have the same eyes." I whispered softly looking at her and she stared back at me with a small grimace.
"You have known Trevor for about five weeks. I've known him ever since he was a little baby. When he has his mind set to something, he will do anything in his power to make that happen. He is the main cause of this adjusted Process. Do you really think he's going to give in?" She said looking at me. "And if he does, then you have the next 24 hours, to spend time with the guy that broke all the rules in this country, to be with you." She said, I nodded slowly at that. "You get to have the last 24 hours with a guy that has never cared about anything apart from torturing in his life, whom cares more about you than I have ever heard or seen.".
