As soon as we got inside my room, Elijah closed the door and put his arms around my waist, I couldn't help but smile as he gently turned me around, to see me better.

He then threw me on the bed, instantly regretting it, as he thought I had gotten hurt. But as soon as he saw me, still smiling, he got on the bed and grabbed my neck.

He smashed his lips against mine. With one hand on my neck, and the other one on the bed, keeping him above me.

He kissed me on the lips for a few more seconds before beginning to kiss my Jawline.

I let out a small moan as he immediately went to my collarbone.

----------------------time skip----------------------

As I woke up, I felt hands wrapped around my waist.

No..no no no no. We didn't..did we?

I lifted my head up and saw him. Elijah.

"Morning, Milady. Did you enjoy your rest?" He asks, with a smirk.

"Did we...you know.." I asked embarrassed.

"We...what? Sleep together? Do you..regret it..?" He asks. Immediately getting up to see if I had regretted what we did last night.

"Oh! No! I didn't. I just really needed to know if we actually did you know..that. I just thought it was a dream.." I replied, turning my head so that he would not see my red face.

He gets up and walks to me, and sits on the space near my legs.

"Elijah! Clothes!" I yell.

"Its alright, you've seen all this, but if you want me to cover myself then I shall." He says, getting up again and grabs the sheets.

"I've got to go do something for the alliance with England. I may not be king yet, but I've got duties to fulfill." He says.

"No please don't..don't leave yet." I blurt.

Katerina. Why. Would. You. Say. That!?

"What?" He asks. Confused.

"I..never mind." I say, getting up.

As I took my shot to leave this embarrassment, I started to rush to the bathroom, but then felt two strong arms on my waist.

"I heard..I don't want to leave either, but I've got to. Please understand." Elijah says.

"I suppose I understand that England comes first. Me on the other hand, I come second..no, third? No wai-" I got cut off when Elijah throws me on the bed and starts tickling me. I was giggling like a maniac, how embarrassing.

"You are first in my heart. If you want England to wait, England shall wait." He says with a smirk. He enjoyed tickling while he could.

"Elijah! Stop" I said, laughing.

"Elijah stop...? What?" He said, his smirk turned to laughter.

"Elijah, please- please stop" I said laughing harder, since he had started tickling me more than before.

He let's go, and says, "alright, well I really must get going."

He smiles and waves as he walks out of the room, and closes the door.

After I took a shower, I then chose a beautiful tannish pink dress, with flowers and glitter at the top and bottom, with ruffled sleeves.

I took the Queens advice and chose to not wear a corset. I do not want the same corset incident to happen again...

I then heard one of the servants call my name from downstairs, "Lady Katerina! Oh please do come down stairs, two lovely ladies are at the door, asking to see you."

Who could be asking for me?

I rushed down the stairs to see who could possibly be the two ladies that have come to see me.

"Katerina? Oh how I've missed you!" Said one of the ladies at the door.

Missed me? how did she know my name?

"What? Who are yo- Oh Mary! Isobel! How are you two here?!"

The two ladies at the door were my two best friends. Since I am the rightful princess of Italy, I had 'Ladies Of The Italian Court' at a young age. They soon became my best friends, but when I released my duty to be queen, and left the throne to Emanuel, we grew distant, since they were no longer my ladies.

"Katerina! We'd sure like to catch up but..we're afraid we've been sent to deliver you some..." She hesitated before she continued speaking.

"-Some rather unpleasant news." He said.

"What news? Since it is just news, couldn't you have had sent a letter?" I asked. I was rather confused

"We could have but..it's best we explain face to face." She said, looking at Isobel. Who'd been quite the whole time.

"Oh? All right, come in" I said.
--------------8 minutes later.------------------
----------(Sorry, I'm rather lazy.)----------

"Alright. What have you two come to speak about so urgently?" I asked.

"Right. Katerina...your mother, she's not well..." Isobel said. Finally speaking.

"What do you mean she's not well? Is she alright? I knew she had heart issues but she was perfectly healthy when I left! Should I go back? Where's Emanuel?!" I asked, worried.

"See..Emanuel is the problem. He was supposed to meet you here at the castle was he not?" Mary said.

He was..after my carriage from Italy to France crashed, Emanuel said he'd meet me here. At the castle. He..isnt here though.

"Yes..?" I said.

"Well, his horse made its way back to Italy..without Emanuel...it had bruises and cuts. And we believe Emanuel is..." Mary looked at Isobel then back at me. "We think he's...passed."

"What? No. No! Emanuel is not..he didn't die. I don't believe it. I don't. I will not!" I said. Getting up from my seat, running to my room.

"Katerina! You're the last heir! You need to take the throne!" I heard Isobel yell after me, but I slammed the door of my room.

Emanuel couldn't possibly be dead. I cannot believe that. I will not believe he's gone.

I was writing a letter to Italy to hear back from my mother, To see if this madness was true, but I must've fallen asleep..
