A Royal Love[Royal Lumity AU]

Chapter Five

Amity's POV

I couldn't help but think... Why... Why did she need me? It was the only though that hammered in my head as I made my way to the throne room. There were two guards standing in front of the room.. A relief flickered in me.. Maybe they wouldn't let me in.. From what Luz has told me, guards only stand outside the door when Queen Camilla is in a meeting.

Yet... I still approached the door..

The Guards nodded to me.. They stepped aside. My heart sunk.. They were letting me in.

"Queen Camilla awaits." One said formally.

I just grinned... But it wasn't a happy grin. I pushed the door open.. I sucked in a breath. I had been in here before.. When I first met Luz... Well. We didn't exactly meet.. She tried to talk to me but I was too taken aback by her that I didn't respond.. Then mother interrupted.

I shook out of my daze and blinked at the throne where Queen Camilla sat.. Made me wonder why Luz didn't sit on it when we met. Then I noticed a tall blonde haired boy.. Prince Hunter! My tongue ran over my teeth.. I sucked in a breath once more, and approached the throne, stopping beside Prince Hunter.

I took a short glance at him.. He was looked at the ground, his face a bright red.. Now I was kinda nervous.

Queen Camilla just chuckled.. "Alright then Hunter. Off you go.. but you should..." she paused glancing at me before continuing in Spanish. "deberías llevarla a cenar alguna noche."

Prince Hunter looked up at his mother. "Sí Mamá." He quickly turned away and sped to the door. He was out of the room as quick as the snap...

Now. . . It was just me and the Queen. I looked up and curtsied. "Y.. You're Majesty.."

Queen Camilla stood up.. She looked so. . . Regal... Almost like she was from a fairytale. She approached me. She stopped in front of me, studying my features.. "Walk with me dear."

The breath I didn't even realize I was holding escaped me. I stood up straight and fumbled after the Queen who was already paces ahead.

"Hunter would've been a good king if he hadn't decided to step down." The Queen said in a very loving voice.. "Don't you agree?"

"Well.. I don't know. I don't know him too well.." Is what I would've said, if the words had not gotten got in my throat.. so a simple nod was all I replied with.

The Queen's charming brown eyes locked on me. "No reason to hold you're tongue.. Speak you're mind.." she looked away.. "My husband had to be reminded of that too much." She said with a sad smile.

A subject change! "King Philip?" I asked.

The queen nodded. "Yes.. Hunter's and the twins father... He died in their fifth birthday.." she muttered.

I blinked.. "Whose birthday?" But I had a sinking feeling I knew who she was talking about..

"Elswyth and Victoria's." She murmured.

I looked at the floor. I knew the king had died when the princesses were born.. But on their fifth birthday.. I would've been there when the king died. "Oh.."

The queen nodded sadly. "You remind me much of my late husband."

I breath was caught in my lungs. I let out a nervous exhale before looking up at the Queen. "I... I do? How so?"

She let out a soft chuckle. "Well I had to make the first move. He often held his tongue.. And... He was supposed to be betrothed to someone else. The one his parents really wanted him to marry.."
