A Royal Affair (Part 43)

Part 2 of the previous story. (AU of the Royal Family)

Nobody knew about you and Prince Silas yet. So far you'd sneaked notes to one another, but you both knew that this would only last until you had to leave Lucy and her parents palace.

The last couple of mornings you and Lucy spent together, you spent time horse riding and playing in the large gardens. Whenever you saw Prince Silas your heart pulsed. He made a habit of visiting you, Lucy and her parents multiple times a day and somehow they didn't seem to wonder why.

Silas and yourself hadn't really kissed much since that night in the horse stables. You wanted to though, and the way he look at you made you assume he wanted the same. Today he walked in on you and Lucy in one of the music suites. The room was a fancy room with high ceilings, large windows with a large white piano in the centre of it. Lucy played a few songs and you sang 'la-la-la' in tune with it. 

He knocked on the door and waltzed in. He for some reason bowed when the girls saw him and then he sat beside Lucy on the bench by the piano. Although he was sat next to her, he stared at you. His eyes, like before, illuminated. "Good afternoon, ladies."

You couldn't help, but smile and stared at the floor.

"Hello, uncle. Do you want to listen to y/n sing?"

You quickly looked up and stared at them. "Nooooo. Ahaha."

"You're really good, y/n. I bet Silas would love to hear you."

'Screw you' You thought. "I think your uncles ears would explode if we subjected him to hear me sing. Perhaps we should see if we can eat lunch?"

"Sure, are you coming, uncle?"

Although you wanted to see more of Silas, having him around was tough because you couldn't resist his good looks. You needed time apart so you could save yourself from melting. "I suppose that Prince Silas would be too busy to eat with the likes of us."

"Nonsense, I'd love to." He and Lucy got up and you followed them out of the suit and downstairs to the dining room.

Midway through lunch, Silas excused himself from the room and asked a member of staff if he could borrow some paper and a pencil. He was given some and then he scribbled down a note to give to you. He returned with it folded up small in his hand. He kept it until he could give it to you without anyone seeing.

"Lucy, I'm sure I heard your mother calling for you earlier when I left." He lied.

"Really? I better go and see what she wanted me for. See you soon, y/n." Lucy quickly left, which meant that you and Silas were finally alone.

Silas was sat at the head of a very long table, a table who could easily sit 16 people (7 on either side and 1 at each end of the table.) Lucy sat next to her uncle and you sat next to her. You and Silas now had a seat between you now Lucy had gone. He reached over and passed you the little note he'd folded at least 8 times. "For you."

You looked at your lap and unwrapped it under the table. It read, 'Meet me here tonight at 11:59pm.' You lifted your head, nodded and tucked the note into your sleeve. Silas smiled and used his right index finger to tap on the right side of his nose to signify that it's a secret. You smiled back and waited for Lucy to return.

You said your goodnights to Lucy, Prince Robert and Lady Nelly and you all went to bed after dinner. You didn't quite know what Silas wanted with you so you stayed fully clothed and sat on your bed until 11:59 rolled around. You tidied your old makeup a little and waited as patiently as you could.

When you had around 5 minutes to go, you quietly left your designated room and went downstairs to the dining room. You wished Silas stayed for dinner, but you assumed he had commitments elsewhere. He actually had the same idea as you and appeared in the opposite doorway to you when you entered the now dark and quiet dining room. You could barely see his face, but you could see the twinkly blue in his eyes.

"Darling?"

"Yes, Silas." His voice melted you. His height difference to yours was striking, but you loved it. You walked towards each other and his hands found their way around your waist on either side.

"Are we going to see the horses again?" You whispered.

"Shhh, no. This way." He grabbed your right hand and he took you to the direction he came from. You went south and up the stairs into what you'd assume was his part of the palace. He took you down a corridor and into a bedroom. He locked the door behind him and turned the light on, this was better, you could actually see each other now.

"Is this ok for you?" He asked.

"Yes." 

He touched your waist again with both hands and kissed you softly on the lips, just like when you were kissing in the moonlight. He broke apart at one point and said, "I bet your singing voice is angelic." He then went back to kissing you.

You broke apart from him and corrected him, "it's not."

"Nonsense. Sing for me."

"Like what? God save the queen?"

"No, a real song."

"No, I'd much rather kiss you." You both went back to kissed and couldn't help, but untie his tie and unbutton his shirt, he did much the same by unbuttoning your dress. The pair of you went to bed, but you felt worried. "What is Lucy finds out?" He said while holding Silas' head in her hands either side of his head.

"Finds out what?"

"About this. Me sleeping with her uncle."

"She won't care."

"What about your brothers finding out. What if Prince John, Prince Eric and Prince Robert find out?"

"It's my business not theirs."

"But you and I have a 23 year age gap. I don't want people to think I'm a panther or something."

"Well, you like me, right?"

"I do."

"And I like you, so why would I care what anyone else thinks about us. I'm not married and I have no children to worry about, it's just you and me now."

"Hmm. I just don't want to cause any problems. What will The Queen say?"

"She'll accept that I'm happy and not worry about it. She...erm... might not want to know what me and you are upto though."

"Huh?"

"You know... we are out of wedlock and we are doing this."

"Oh. Good point. Let's carry on then." They made out again.

*

The next morning they woke up in each others arms. Silas was the big spoon and you were the little spoon. His arms were wrapped around you and the top halves of your bodies were above the blankets.

"It seems to be quite sunny outside right about now."

You sighed, "Hmm, which means this is over."

"Awe." His pulled you closer to his chest and he kissed your shoulder. "5 more minutes."

You both stayed in bed for a while longer, but you knew that the longer you stayed there, the harder it'd be to leave without Lucy, Prince Robert or Lady Nelly seeing.

"I better go." You rolled over to him so you were now facing him. "When can I see you again?"

"Any day. I could ask Robert if I can stay for dinner tonight."

"You should." You kissed his nose. "See you tonight then."
