Coming For The Crown

Two

I was training hard today, I need to. Tomorrow Elliot is coming over with his parents, my father needs to talk about lands. I just wish he didn't have to come; we figure out lands by ourselves. But due to laws, the next crowned rules have to join this meeting. My question is why is he not the ruler yet?

"Eli!" I hear someone holler, I look up at Havery. He was looking at me confused, I just shook my head. "Hey, was wrong?" He asks me I shake my head. "The Nau's are coming over tomorrow. I don't care about the Queen and King, but it's Elliot!" I start walk around, just thinking of him makes me mad.

"Love, it's okay." He comes over to me, "Everything will be fine. I know it will be and it's just tomorrow." He finishes while rubbing my arms. I nod my head, "I just hate the fact he will be here. What if he tries to hurt one of siblings? I hate no knowing something, you know this." I state, I still can't get the thought of him hurting Audrey. "You will be there to stop him if that happens, just like you did when we were kids." He says comforting me again, I just nod my head again.

I take a seat on the wooden bench in the here, he sits next me he grabs my right hand. Memories of when we were younger fill my head. I was six when it happened, Elliot was eight, Audrey was four. What would an eight-year-old mess with a four-year-old, I have no idea. I have hated ever since then as you can tell I still hate him.

I hear a knock bring me back to reality, "Come in." I look at the door, waiting to see someone step through. That someone turned out to be my mom, she smiles at Havery then looks at me. "Sweetie, can you change. Our guest has arrived a day early." My mom says with a sad face, she knows what I think of Elliot. No, no, no I don't want him here until tomorrow. I quickly walk out of the room with Harvey following me. I don't even notice things around me, that's how mad I am.

I jump into someone, "I'm sorry, my lady." I hear someone say, I must have closed my eyes because everything was black. The voice I heard is definitely a male. It has a deep, raspy voice which I have never heard before. I open my eyes to see a very much older Elliot, he has his head bowed in front of me. "E-Elliot?" I ask to make sure I was right. He looked up at me, "Yes?" He asks while looking at me. You could tell he has changed, he's not the person I once knew. His eyes look like they have no light in them anymore.

"Oh, Princess Eleanor I didn't it realize who I ran into." He says not smiling or nothing friendly at all. "Your father wanted to let you know that we are not going to make any business demands without you down there. Now, I must go back downstairs." He stats all before bowing once again for me. I nod my head at him, he must have taken that as a sign to leave because that's what he did.

I stand up as he walks down the stairs, he was so different from how I remember him. "What the blazes!" I year Havery whisper yell from behind me. I look at him after I fully stand up, "I have no clue." I shake my head he seemed so different. "Come on, I need to change." I state before walking to room. Havery is right behind me, to be honest Elliot is not the only person that is acting different. Havery never usually follows me; he knows that I wish to wait for my wedding night. I refuse to become a strumpet especially now.

We get to my door; I could tell he was going to follow me in. "Havery, stay out here." I order, he looks shocked that I ordered him, but I don't care. I open my bedroom door and walk inside leaving Harvey out there. I close my bedroom door as soon as I am in my room.

My bedroom was a very elegant room it had a huge chandler in the middle that connects to smaller lights around it. My bed is a huge bed that is more than comfortable to me, the sheets on the bed are the kingdoms colors, which are dark green, sliver, and black. My walls were a light grey color, my floors are dark brown, I have a carpet in the middle of my room.

I have a fireplace on the right side of my room, it has some couches in front of it. On the left I have a bookcase and on the same side was a door, it led to my bathroom. I always loved my bedroom; I grew up in here and I have so many memories.

I decide to take a quick shower, I make sure to wash my hair. I get out of the shower and change into a dress that comes to my knees it has flowers on the hem of it. It has a square neckline; the sleeves are puff with the same flowers that are the hem are on the sleeves. I chose light brown sandal like wedges.

I walk out of my room, to see that Harvey is gone. He must have left or went downstairs; I don't worry about it. I love him, but I have royal duties to do. I walk downstairs to the living room, I see King Joseph Nau, Elliot's father, Elliot was sitting next to him. My father was sitting across the room, I walk in and instantly Elliot stands up, quickly everyone else stand up. We all bow to each other before I take my seat next to my father.

Elliot seemed so distant and so off from what I remember. It felt so wired seeing him like this, he was in a black suit, but I still hated him for what he did when we were little. I wasn't even paying attention to the meeting. I am just looking at Elliot, when I see him stand, I look around as see my father and King Joseph rising. I quickly follow suit; Elliot nods his head at me, and I nod my head back.

"Well, Eleanor can you please escort Prince Elliot to the guest room in the east wing?" My father says with a smile. The east wing, that means he will be stay for a while great. "Of course, father." I bow, before smiling softly at Elliot. He nods his head; I start to walk out of the room he follows me. We are walking to east side of the castle, "Eli!" I hear my name being yelled I turn and see Audrey. "Hey, Aud." I say as she quickly walked over to me. She stops when she sees who I am standing in front of.

She looks him up and down, everyone but my parents don't like him. "Princess Audrey." He says as he bows, her eyes widen, and he looked him up and down. I want to laugh at her, but I knew better. He stays like that, "You can stop now." I say and he nods his head before lifting. "I am severely sorry about my childhood actions." He says while looking down at the ground. "I do not forgive you right now, but I have a feeling I will get to see if you have really changed." Aud says, I nod my head very lady like. he nods his head in agreement.

After saying our goodbyes, we walk off to the room. "Here is your room." I simply say no smile, no nothing. "Also, before you apologize, I want you to know that I'm on the same page as my sister." I state and look at him he nods his head.

I feel him grab my wrist, "I really hope you do realize I am different." He says while bowing his head. I just nod my head and I will honestly have to think about it. I walk off as he stares at me, I don't dare look back. I have learned to never give your enemy the befit of the doubt.

I walk to my room; I take deep breath before going in. I open the door to see Harvey there, "Listen I was following you because I wanted to let that dratted brat to know you belong to me." He says while looking at me. I smile, I knew he wouldn't hurt me he loves me too much. I walk over to him and plant a kiss on his forehead. Before he grabs my chin with his thumb and kisses me.

After we pulled apart, I tell him how Elliot apologized for what he did to Audrey and how he was going to apologize to me, but I stopped him and told him I would need time to think. He agreed with the whole thing, and we sat there talking. Before long I felt sleep creep up on me, and I quickly feel asleep in my lover's arms.
