Coming For The Crown

Three

I am training with Havery; we use each other as actually moving targets and not just come punch bag. We honestly get tired of using a punching bag, so we use each other when we can. Usually no one is wake, so I didn't expect to hear footsteps outside the door. Havery and I stop what we are doing, we look at the door. 

It opens to show, Elliot. It is looking down, then he looks up at us. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know anyone else was wake, once again I'm sorry." He says before bowing making Havery look at me surprised. "I will take my leave." He stands up and walks out, making sure to close the door quietly behind him.

"What was that?" Havery asks me, I shook my head. "That is what I was telling you." I say pointing at the door. I feel like he is trying to put on a show. "I am guessing you and I have the same thought." Harvey says while looking at my face. I just nod in agreement; we both look at the door. "Do you think he is going to try and take the crown?" Havery asks, I shake my head trying not thinking about that. 

You see, when our kingdoms were first separated the made a deal that if a ruler has to step down before the next hair is old enough to take the throne the neighboring kingdom will send their oldest child to rule that kingdom. My father, the king, has to step down very soon. I am 19 meaning I am old enough to take the throne, I haven't yet because I am still in my rule duties. That means him being here is not to take the throne. 

I take a deep breath before turning around and looking at Havery. "I'm going to go freshen up. I have my rule duties to attend to." I state before walking closer to him. "I am going to train a little longer." He says while looking in my eyes. I kiss his soft lips before grabbing my items and leaving. I didn't give him time to kiss back, but he still could of; I couldn't but think as I walk out of the gym. 

Mom comes from around the corner with several servants following her, most of them asking where they should put stuff. "Dear, can you come help me-" Mom stops herself when I look at her, "Everyone I will with you in a minute, but can you please leave me." Mom looks at the servants with a gentle smile. They nod their heads then walk away to different spots; Mom looks back at me. "Now, tell me what is going on in that head of yours." She states while giving me a stern look. I let a small giggle let out, she knows me to well. 

"It's just I feel like Elliot is up to something. I mean he is acting more friendly, showing more respect." I say while walking passes my mom, she joins me walking to my room. "Well, he could have realized what he did was wrong." She says the one thing different from me and my mom is that she looks at the positive side while I look at the negative or shall I say truth of things. "I don't think so mom." I say while looking down at the hallway. My room is two bedrooms down from the door we are passing. 

She shakes her head; she gets so annoyed with me. I feel sorry for my parents, not only to do they have a son that let them down but to add on they have a daughter that doesn't forgets and barely forgives. They also have three for kids that forget what their tilts are. 

We get to my room; I look at my mom. "I know, I should forgive, but I'm scared that if I do, he will hurt my people or my family." I say to my mother, she looks at me. She has a soft smile; I couldn't help but feel guilty for not listening to her. "My sweet dear, you forget we all know how to kill if we have to." Mum says making me have a smirk, I nod my head. "Well, goodbye." Mom says before walking away waving. 

I shake my head and walk into my bedroom. I stop when I see... Elliot seating on my bed looking at the floor, he has his hand on his chin. "What are you doing here!?" I shout at him; he looks up at me. He stands up and moves closer to me, I have shut my bedroom door. "You should break up with him." He says with anger lacing his voice. "Why should I?" I ask while looking him up and down. Does he like me?

He shakes his head, like he knows what I am thinking. "Your father doesn't like him. He is planning on setting you up with me because I need a wife or lover to be with me before I become King. He wants us to marry. I told him no, but my father and him think it will be for the best." He pauses telling me take in everything. 

"I would never tell you to break up with someone, if there was not reason. I know we will have this decision about us marrying today at your rule duties. Even your own mother doesn't want him here. I know, you do not believe me, but this is one thing we need to trust me for."  He finishes while look dead in my eyes. I look dead into his eyes, to see if this the truth. I saw turn emotions, but I also saw more. 

His eyes, how have I never noticed how beautiful they are. They are caramel brown with light brown peeking through all over, I can't help but let my eyes look at his face. His skin tone is a little darker than mine making his hair stand out. His lips look amazing to the point where if someone started to kiss him, they wouldn't be able to stop. His nose from his angle you wouldn't be able to tell that he had a point, but it is wider. His hair it must be some kind of ashy blonde. I wouldn't help but also look at his jawline, it looks sharp but it's very settled.

I look at him, that's when I realize he is still looking at me. He saw me check his face out, "I just thought I would voice my opinion." He says with a couch in the way like he was caught checking me out.  He just left the room leaving me confuse and my heart beating extremely fast.
