House of Knights

Chapter twenty-one - one day in your court

2025's

Prince Jack's pov:

I wonder why people from the past were the way they were with me, they can't get mad since they're the ones that handed me the scissors. I was so set on my ways finally I knew what had to be done. 

Rosies Taylors Knights pov:

I was back at the lake taking in the warm water and touching my feet as I sit down on the deck. I enjoyed the quiet until they throw me into the deep end. I had my eyes closed enjoying the silence, the water was so still, just imagining waters crashing down on my family. I saw maids looking for me as they normally do, I sighed and knew I had to go to the palace. I got up and started walking towards the large doors.

The rooms looked so bright, sunlight had come in. I saw my brother in the library finally reading a book, I left and went exploring rooms I found Calvin in the kitchen on a chair talking to my mother. I come in looking t them "Am I interrupting?" I say  looking into my mother's eyes she smiles at me and mutters "Of course, not my dear just going things, Calvin has been accepted to be in the royal meetings, now please go you two and have fun, go out to town."  I looked confused but then she swiftly departed leaving me a kiss on my cheek. Calvin's face was beaming "Where to miss?" I roll my eyes "Calvin I have a name use it, It's Rose." He nodded "will do."

Queen Charlotte's pov:

I was the head of the table alongside my great-uncle and distant cousin,  I had made up my mind with declaring a new order my daughter the heir to the throne will have her days from now on in court, with myself and the other members of the royal circle.  As if I had wished for my child to come at once she appears in the doorway and is alongside Calvin giving her a shoulder to lean on as they walk through towards us I explain to her what I am going to be asking of her from now on.

Prince Eddie Taylor Knight's pov:

I was completely drunk by this point I was so used to having my older sister as the center of everything, the center of all things, I had gotten used to it, there was no way they would make me king, I knew this since people would call me the spare. Since I'm younger I am grateful actually because I wouldn't want all that it's too much work, On the bright side I get to do what I want when I want, go where I want, fair price to pay.

I was in the hidden room in the palace, with others. Some men walked who looked like I had known them once but their faces told me another story, Two men came walking towards me bringing their hands forward for me to shake them "Edward, boy how you have grown." I looked and felt confused "Do I know you?" The older man spoke first "Yes of course boy, were family. I'm your great-great uncle, and this is my son Jack, your second cousin, his name is Prince Jack   Taylor"  I continue drinking I roll my eyes "So what do you want ?" He had questions "have you ever felt out of place? or even left behind?" "So what?" He continues "That my boy isn't good, that happened to my nephew back in the day when he was the firstborn but yet his parents decided to give it to his sister, sounds familiar?"

"What could you want from me?" "easy." he says "to give you a chance that you will thank me for."
