His Worst Mistake

Margot's Escape...

Margot followed Kristian into break room. There were 8 people in there waiting for her. These eight people consisted of her five brothers and her three best friends.

As soon as the door closed, the three girls jumped on Margot. They cried as they hugged. The girls repeatedly told Margot they had missed her.

Grayson cleared his throat after the girls had carried out what he regarded to be 'theatrics', for 3 minutes.

The girls separated and turned their heads towards Grayson. Grayson looked at Margot and Margot walked towards him. Grayson hugged her and whispered something into her ear. Margot pushed away from him with her eyes open before starting to silently cry. Grayson wiped at her tears and then gave her a wry smile.

"What's going on?" Hendrix asked

Margot turned towards the rest of the room.

"Uhm.... " Margot started.

Grayson interrupted Margot before she could say anything further. "We can only say after we've left the four corners of the Palace. "

He could not afford for his sister to be in any more danger.

The brothers all nodded their heads in understanding. They all knew that their brother would never keep anything from them without good reason.

Dalles stepped forward and hugged Margot, pushing Grayson to the side a bit as she did.

'Old man hogging Margot' she thought.

"We're all here for you hmm??"

Margot nodded her head as she silently cried.

*Ding Dong*

"The trial for Royal Family v Margot McQuoid will now resume for hearing of the Judge's ruling." a voice announced through the speakers.

"Well, that's our cue" Kristian said as he picked his briefcase up from a table on the side.

"No matter the results we're by your side baby sis" Landon chirped.

Everyone let out a light laugh.

Margot was stood in the middle of the courtroom with her head bowed.

*bang bang bang*

"I will now read the decision of the jury with regards to the witness statements and evidence submitted so far. Considering our evidence, this court rules Lady Margot McQuoid as not guilty of all allegations made against her." The Judge announced.

There was a second of silence at the end of his ruling. Not even a camera shutter. Soon applauds and cheers erupted from afar. There were chatters in the court room and everyone wondered where the noise came from. Margot looked around her before a screen fixed to her right side caught her attention. It was turned to the National News Channel and showed that a crowd of people had gathered in front of the Court House. It was this crowd of people that were cheering for her. There were cheering to the fact that she had been ruled not guilty. Margot bowed her head and silently cried.

Since she had woken from her fever and seen the comments that had been posted online, she harboured thoughts that the country people had hated her. She thought she had let down the country people and that they had been disappointed and had let her go as their Crown Princess. Seeing people cheer for her made Margot feel like she had accomplished goals she had set when she first set foot into, he Palace. Although she was now stepping down and letting go of a role she had come to love so much, Margot still felt some sort of connection to the country people. Margot had put much effort into the role and planned to do her best for the country people, but she could not get what she wanted. Margot thought that this was the best and only prayed that the next Crown Princess would love the people like she does.
