Coming For The Crown

Nine

The bright sun, the birds singing, the sounds of the servants making breakfast downstairs. This is this noise I wake up to everyday. I slowly open my eyes to see I'm still in the hallway, I move my head up then looking back down at the shoulder I had layed on. I look to see that Elliot still sleeping. I stretch before putting my head back on his shoulder and getting comfortable again. I close my eyes; I'm going back to sleep. But I want to lay here and soak in the sun that we are now siting in. 

I really want to meet his little girl because of the day before he had talked about her. I still can't believe he would be so nice to someone, and why he was so mean to me and my sister. I will just have to trust him, and let it happen no matter if I don't want it to happen or not. I hear a groan before his shoulder moves. I open my eyes slowly, seeing him yawning. I move off his shoulder, he looks at me with a soft smile.  

He stretches, backing his shoulder up making his chest puff out. He is looking forward, letting me see his whole side view. He stops after a few second, he then rolls his shoulders a few times before looking at me. "Thank you. For staying here with me, even though you do not like me." He says with a soft smile. I could tell for the sleep under his eyes that he doesn't want to be up. he rubs his eyes, trying to get all the sleep away.

He moves his hands to the back of his neck; I watch as he gets used to the sun. He looks outside, while I am looking at him. He is a very attractive man, I would put 10 gold coins that if he had a son, he would like him. "My family should be waking up soon, do you want to come down to eat or do you want me to bring the food up here?" I ask trying to get out of my thoughts. He sighs, before looking at me. "I should go down and thank the queen and king for everything. Along with the rest of your family of course." He says before standing up. I nod my head and follow his movement. 

We start to go downstairs; we walk in silence. I keep glancing at him, once or twice I see him glance at me. "The day of before you told me stories of Amara, and I honestly can't wait to meet her." I say making him look at me. He looks at then smiles, he does this like he was analyzing if I was telling the truth. "She will be more excited about meeting her hero." He chuckles softly at the end; I can't help but notice the small dimples that from his face. 

We make it down to the kitchen talking, laughing, and seeming as if we are best friends. I still can't through my mind that I am Amara's hero. Every time I think of that, it puts a smile on my face. We walk in the kitchen to find my parents, Jonah, and Ash. Eliot and I go seat on either side of the table, I sat next to Ash. "Morning, beautiful." Ash says as usually, but this time he moved his head forward. I look to see Elliot with his fist clenched turning them white, he was as that Ash called me beautiful. I wanted to start laughing that Elliot was getting mad at a very gay man. "You must be prince Elliot; my name is Ash." Ash begins to stay, Elliot was giving him a deadly look, "I am her gay best friend; I also work in the kitchen." Hearing gay he unclenched his hands, letting them go back to normal color. 

Ash looks at me, I look at him. It took a lot not to exploded with laughter. "It's nice to meet you." Elliot says with a smile. Ash looks at Elliot, nods head before looking at my father. "Thank King Albert." Ash says before standing up, he waves to me, and I wave back. I look at Elliot, he is looking at my father. I don't realize I was staring until he glances at me. I quickly look my father; I see that he is in fact talking to Elliot about something. Mother is looking at me and him probably noticing our messy hair, how tried we look, and how we are wearing the wearing the same thing from yesterday. Mother thinks we slept together; I quickly look at her with wide eyes. I shake my head, and she just smiles. Great just great. 

I am looking dead at her, she just smiling at me. I look at father, father is looking at Elliot. "How did you sleep last night, Elliot?" Mother raises her eyebrows like she knows what is going on. "I slept nicely. Thank you for asking." He says not realizing what she is implying. I put my hands on my face, I feel eyes on me now. "How was your night?" Mother asks me now, I at her though my fingers. I take my hands off my face, "No mother, we did not." I say while giving her to stop this. She shakes her head with a grin. "Did I say what you are think? No." My father looks at his wife, and she looks at him. Her eyes go to my hair and clothes, my father follows her eyes. His eyes widen when he realizes what she is looking at. "No, we did sleep together!" I yell mother nods her head to me, father looks at me asking if this is true. 

I look at Elliot to see confused, he doesn't realize she thinks we had intercourse. We did sleep together, but not like that. "She thinks we intercourse." I state, his eyes widen, and he looks at me making sure he heard me right. I nod my head; he looks at my parents. He looks at both of them, I turn my head and look at my mother. "We did not have intercourse." I state, I want to wait for my wedding night. "She is right, we did not. We slept outside, in the hallway, next to door that leads to my daughter. Also, she is in relationship," I look at him and he points at me, "I am not going to ruin something that makes her happy. Excuse me for what I'm about to say," He looks dead at me, " Even though I don't like him. That her choice, this her life and we shall try to sperate something that makes her happy." He finishes looking my parents. I look at him, he doesn't like Harvey, but doesn't want us to sperate. 

I look at mother and father to see them looking like they were just told that they were caught doing horrible. I look back at Elliot, he is looking down shaking his head. "If you will excuse me, I am taking my leave." Elliot says before standing up and leaving to back to the door. I look at my parents who are looking at each other, as if they are talking to each other through their eyes. I see most couples do this, Harvey and I never done this. They look up at me, I just shake my head. "You didn't do this to Jonah when he was still in training to be a king. But me let guess where I'm a woman I have no right to say we sleep to together or not because I'm woman. I will be a queen, but I have to children after a few of us being married. If that still is aggreged, after all I don't get a say." I am tired of being put down because I'm a girl who wants to rule the country, doesn't want to be married right away, or have kids right away. 

I know this happening in the village, but it is worst. They are at no value until they marry, which is wrong we all have value it doesn't matter the gender. I stand up without saying anything and walk off. I want to change the fact that women are being treated like we are nothing other housekeepers or children barres-  we could be business owner. We take care of a house, that purtily is a business. We need to more than his wife or a name if you don't want to get married or because you want children. We should a choice, a voice, instead of pushed off. 

I am heading straight back to the door; I don't care if someone need me. "Eleanor!" I hear and I turn to see Ash with flour all over his apareon and Mia with dirt on her apareon with gloves in her pocket. "I heard what happened and I ran to get Mia."  Ash says while catching his breath, Mia is catching her breath to. I shake my head, "My parents are wrong to think I would sleep with him while I'm dating Harvey. I like the fact he stood up for me, but I should be wronged by them think we slept together. Not my mom smiling think we are finally friend or more." I say, I remember Jonah being yelled at because he has slept with his now wife, when he was 19. Here I was the same age, but my parents smiling about. 

I turn back around and walk away; I hear their footsteps behind me. "We agree, what they did was wrong." Mia says trying to calm down. Ash gets in front of me, Mia does the same thing. Ash looks me up and down, "Now, what are you going to do? They wronged you." Ash raises his eyebrows with a smile on his face. "Don't be coward and be the" they look at each other than back at me, "Eleanor, we know you are." Both say in unison with smiles on their faces and raise eyebrows. I love these two, I smirk back and stand tall. I am never wronged; I am strong and independent. "If they tell me I'm wrong; I don't want to be right." I say and we all at each other, smiling. We are going to show that we don't take what people say, we are own heroes. I am wrong for wanting everyone to treated right.
