Royal Love (F1 x LH44)

Four

I laid that same night in bed, scrolling through everything. I sometimes came across some articles about today. They absolutely adored it, which is why Nick put me there in the first place, just as a distraction for the press to focus on me. I'd hate him for it. But this time I actually really liked the event. Normally I would get irritated by the kids or whatsoever. But today was different...

I jumped up from my thoughts as a message popped on my screen. It was from Instagram. I pressed it and it immediately opened up to a profile. I checked the name and gasped. 'Lewis Hamilton started following you'. I looked at his profile quickly before adding him back. I opened up the messages and typed a simple hi. It didn't take long before he typed back. It took a few seconds, but then he said hey back. I looked at his message. Not sure how to continue our conversation...

I didn't have to, because he already started typing again. 'I really enjoyed spending time with you today', the message said. I smiled at the comment and thought of something to say back.

'It was so fun. I'd like to attend Silverstone too. I'm asking my dad tomorrow!' I waited as he read it, and then started to type again.

'I hope I'll see you there. Good night, Princess'. I read the comment a few times and didn't even say goodnight back as I drifted off to a peaceful sleep, with my phone still on my chest.

I woke up early the next morning. I was in a great mood for once and actually looked forward to today. I was now in a meeting with the counsellors. Listening as they put forward ideas about making the economy stronger. I wasn't really an economic type of person, so I just nodded and wrote things down. Normally the crown-prince would attend too. But today he didn't. Which led to me having to pay attention and write down the important stuff. It was almost the end of the meeting and I watched as the clock almost reached the number 11. I counted down the last 3 seconds and then stood up.

"Thank you, gentlemen, for this moment. I'll give this through to the crown-prince when he is available again." I nodded my head at them and than walked out of the room. A sigh escaped my mouth as I was finally alone. I walked towards the gardens and thought about the next thing on my planner.

I arrived at the gardens and started walking the gravel road that led to a little building. It was a monument of my grandmother, the former ruler of England. I didn't know her the best, since she died when I was 10. But I had always the feeling that she would always listen if I had to speak my heart out. Just like now, a burden had to be lifted off my shoulders.

I sat down on the little bench and started speaking. "Hey grandma. I haven't talked to you for a while..." and so I continued. I talked about the crazy idea of getting married, which I totally forgot about yesterday. And the event I went to yesterday. I spoke to her for a few minutes before I thought of something I forgot to do this morning. "Shit I forgot to ask him! Sorry, but I have to go. Bye!" I left the monument and went straight back into the palace. I had a quick pace and didn't look at the people passing me in the corridor. I didn't stop walking until I got to my dad's office. I knocked at the door and waited for a 'come in'. But it didn't came. I knocked again and asked the security in front of the door if they knew why he didn't answer. They just shrugged their shoulders.

"Come in!" The moment the words reached my ears I pushed the door open and walked into the office. "Dad! I have such an amazing idea. What if I go to Silverstone? To the Grand Prix!" I couldn't keep my excitement in as I started rambling about the Grand Prix.

"Jude, calm down. I need to think about this. I mean- what do you want to do there?" He didn't sound very enthusiastic about it and he crooked his eyebrow, waiting for my answer.
