The kingdom

chapter two

(Nialls POV)

I walked home after I left Carson at her house. I think I like her, ok rephrase that I know I like her,but I don't want to ask her out because we can't be together anyways her mum won't allow it. I just can't help but like her,her beautiful green eyes and tan skin I really like her hair,its dark brown but has natural copper highlights and her lips.

I could kiss them all day,if she let me. It just breaks my heart to know that her mother abuses her and doesn't let her eat and makes her do endless amounts of work. I just wish she didn't have to live this life,I would gladly take her place if I could.

(Georgia's POV[Carson's mother])

I leave the house and go to the market,once I'm there I go over to my produce stand and set out my cheeses. I wait for an hour and finally a man wearing the royal colors comes to me. I bow as a sign of respect and he signals me to stand back up.

"Hello good lady,what are you selling here today?" I smile and say "well good sir,I am selling the finest cheese freshly from my goats." The man nods he is fairly attractive he has dark brown hair and dark blue eyes with tan skin. "Very well then,I will bye it all " my eyes widen "oh but sir, that is really not-"

The man cuts me off and smiles "I will bye it all,in return for something much more valuable." I look at him with a confused gaze "I am sorry to tell you sir,I have nothing else of importance to me."the man smirks and says "do you need an escort home,surely you don't want to walk I fear it will rain."

This man gives me an uneasy feeling,I nod anyways he is of royalty it is illegal for me to deny him."oh,yes...thank you kind sir." The man nods "yes,let's go shall we?" I nod and we pack the cheese away in his carriage and we set off in the path of directions I gave him to my home.

We arrive at my home in fifteen minuets time. I swear if that little harlet,didn't clean the house I will beat her to a miniscule pulp. We enter the home and I smell that Carson has started making dinner. We enter the house and it looks spotless,well done carson...you earned your self a piece of bread!

I enter the kitchen with the guard and I address Carson. "Carson dear,why don't you make a new placing at the table for our guest." She turns around and looks at the man and I in shock and scurried to the cabinet to get bowls for her stew. After she plates our food she cleans up the kitchen and the gaurd stares at her in awe.

When he is done with his food he goes over to her and places his hand under her chin and mumbles something to her and she nods smiling a little and says'thank you kind sir.' He then looks at me and smirks "how can you be hiding such a beautiful creature?" I hide my disgust with a smile and say "this is my daughter Carson."

He hums and then says"Carson....hmm,yes Carson dear may I ask you a question?" Carson looks up from the floor and nods "yes sir." He smiles at her and says "how would you like to come with me to the royal palace?"

(Carson's POV)

I shoot my gaze up to the kind man and say "oh,sir I-I don't know,maybe I would?" The man chuckles and smiles at me "Ms.Carson,you do not need to be nervous around me." I nod and then look at my mother who looks angry beyond belief. She shoots up from her chair and shouts "NO,CARSON...YOU ARE NOT TO LEAVE THIS HOUSE EVER!"

The man walks calmly over to her and slaps her she whimpers away in fear....I know I should be mad that he hit my mother but,honestly,I think she deserved it...She has always been a bitch. The man then looks at me and smiles "I'm terribly sorry for that, but a harlet should know her place...would you like to go to the royal palace with me."

I honestly don't have any reason to be here...Niall, I think Niall would want this for me...I look up at the man and smile "yes....yes I would love to go with you to the royal palace." The man nods and smiles "alright we leave in fifteen minuets go pack your belongings." I nod and run up the stairs in excitement.

I have to tell niall....I will ask the man if we can stop by and see him. I packed all my belongings and headed down stairs to see my mother crying on the sofa,I walk over to her and she looks up at me and says "you are a...ungrateful,stupid, little bitch...I gave you everything you could ever need,and this is what I get in return?!?" I smile at her God I have waited for this moment my whole life.

"You have ruined my life...and I hate you,you are the worst mother anyone could ever ask for. If by you saying that you gave me everything I have ever wanted,by starving me and beating me then yes I got everything,and you are the bitch! I hope you enjoy the rest of your miserable,inconciderate life!"

And I do something I have been yearning for my whole life. I raise my hand and ball it into a fist and launch it right into her nose,I hear a sickening crack and I see blood. She screams then starts to yell profanities at me as I walk away and I get out side the door and see the man standing by the carriage waiting for me by the door.

When I get to him he starts to laugh and raises his hand as if to high five me. "That was a good punch,I say.....and your speech was great." I giggle under my breath,and mumble a thank you. "Miss,you really don't have to be shy around me...I am your friend I won't hurt you...you can do what ever you wish when with me,as long as your safe,and be yourself."

I smile and hug him which catches him off guard but he returns the embrace. I ask him a question that has been burning a hole in my mind all day "what is you name?" He chuckles and then says "Brighton my name is Brighton."
