Surviving As His Queen | 18+ [Completed]

Chapter 17 - Samantha

"Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel."
― Neil Gaiman, Stardust

"Yes papá I'll be fine, the doctor said I'll be fine. Stop worrying please." I tell Dad, the flight is in fifteen minutes but dad won't stop worrying.

"I'll be there with her all the time, you don't have to worry to much Papá." Jasper says wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

Dad and him seem to have gotten closer, "See I have a husband to take care of me now, worry about yourself dad." I say.

He nods then hus us before we get into the plane, "Done? I thought we won't leave for another hour." Jacob says and I hit him on the head.

"Don't talk about my papá like that." I warn, he pouts.

"No work on the plane Miss." I sit next to Alice, she sighs shutting her laptop. Beth and Ace walk in, Aunt Catherine invited them as well and Jasper let them fly with us.

The plane takes off, we are heading to Eleanor's wedding. I tried talking to Eleanor a hundred times but she's stuck on marrying Shaun. Sir Aaron and Eleanor are clearly in love, I don't know what's stopping them and it's not really my place to interfere so much.

"You okay?" Alice asks, I turn to her with a smile.

"Yeah, just thinking of ways to stop the wedding." I say making her interest perk.

"I have some great ideas." She says enthusiastically.

"About what?" Jacob sits across us.

"Stopping the wedding." Alice says smiling evilly.

"Don't you even dare, Aunt Catherine doesn't like you as it is." Justin sits next to Jacob drinking his whiskey.

"Stop drinking like there's no tomorrow." I snatch the glass from him. "And I don't care if she likes me or not, I just want Eleanor to be happy."

"She did say she was happy." Justin shifts uncomfortably.

"She can't be. She loves someone else." I say, all the three look at me shocked.

"What? Who?" They say at the somewhat same time.

I sigh glancing at Jasper, Beth is talking to him about something, probably work. I don't like them working together but I trust Jasper as much.

I lean closer to whisper, "Sir Aaron." I say, the three look behind me. I freeze and goosebumps cover my skin as I turn around to find him in flesh.

"Hi. Did you need something?" I ask nervous as hell.

He nods then gets on his knees, my eyes widen as he bows to me.

"I might sound shameless my queen but I have something to ask of you." He says.

"You don't have to ask like this, please stand or sit Sir Aaron." I tell him but he shakes his head.

"This is something I need very desperately my queen." He says.

I sigh, "Tell me what it is." I say.

"I'm in love with Princess Eleanor." He announces, I didn't expect him to accept it so easily.

"What did you just say?" Jasper gets from his seat rather angrily.

Sir Aaron bows, "I love your cousin Eleanor my king." He says again.

"Japser calm down." I say, I can't risk it by standing.

"How can I when he just said that he loves my sister?" He says.

"Jasper please, Eleanor might also love him. Let him explain first." I say.

Sir Aaron looks rather startled by my statement.

"I don't believe that, Eleanor wouldn't be marrying another man if she loved him." Jasper says.

"She's being forced." Sir Aaron says. "She hates that man, she's being forced by her mother." He says.

"Do you even know what you're saying?" Jasper says still angrily.

"Jasper calm down." I say, Beth steps infront.

"How can he calm down when his Aunt is being accused of something like forcing her own daughter. You are too naive to trust a mere guard your majesty." She says.

"He isn't any mere guard, he's my personal guard and I trust him with my life." I counter. "He must have a reason for saying what he's saying."

Jasper sits down, "Raise and speak Sir Aaron." Jasper orders.

"Princess Eleanor and I have loved each other for quite a long time now. It's that Lady Catherine won't let her marry me because I'm a mere guard who earns only a few grands a month." He says.

"Sir Aaron, you are not a mere guard. How do I tell that to you, anciently speaking you are my knight. And trust me a princess prefers a knight who loves her than a count who hits her." I say.

"But we don't know if he's telling the truth." Beth says accusingly.

"I've seen it in her eyes, I'm sure what Sir Aaron's saying is the truth." I give him a supportive smile.

"I'm really grateful my queen." He bows.

Jasper doesn't say anything, "I'll talk to her about this matter and if it's really the truth then the groom tomorrow would be you." He says.

He takes my hand and leads me to the private bedroom, "Are you okay husband?" I ask, he shakes his head looking mad.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" He asks.

I sit on the bed placing a hand on my belly, "I wasn't sure, what if my mind was playing a game on me? I wanted to be sure when I told you about it." I say.

The fluttering in my belly increases, "You should have told me. We could have put Eleanor out of her pain earlier." He sits next to me.

"I'm sorry." I say softy, he shakes his head wrapping up arm around me.

"It's fine. I'm glad it's Aaron, he'll keep her happy." He says, I nod.

"We must ask Eleanor to move with us once they get married." I grin.

"Don't count your chickens before the hatch, El must have a totally different story but I somewhat agree to the fact that Aunt Catherine might have forced her. Aunt doesn't really like royalty marrying into commoners." He says.

"I am one." I say looking into his eyes.

"You aren't anymore, you are my queen now." He kisses the back of my hand.

I smile leaning closer, "I am."

"And always will be." He kisses the top of my head.
