Prince Leonardo's' Virtues

Chapter 26

The guards came flooding in as they all appeared to be on the alert or something." Leonardo what is it".

He didn't reply as he turned to instruct the guards." take the Queen and her family into a safe room, have it heavily guarded". He said as he released my hand.

"What! No!, Leonardo tell me what is going on!". I said as I averted away from the guards.

"Julianna, would you just go with the guards please!" His voice exasperated.

"Do not command me I am not your servant!".

"Julianna there is no time for this!" His voice slightly raised. He nodded towards the guard as one of them held on to my hand and proceeded to pull me away.

"Leonardo!" I shouted at him but he was already walking away with the rest of the guards. Whatever it is he too could be of danger and the thought alone scares me.

"What is going on!" I shouted at the guards.

"The King has gave his order already your Highness".

"And mines is just as good and I demand to know!".

They all seemed unphased by me as if I was being a nag and my anger only grew.

"What good is wearing the title as Queen if I'm never given respect!".

"Julianna is there something going on?" My mother asked.

"I do not know, no one has said a word only whispers". I said and I could feel the anger surging through me.

They opened a door that looked nearly secured with numerous locks. They led us into the room and locked the doors behind us.

I paced the room over and over am I going mad? I must be, there is no other explanation for such feeling.

Leonardo's POV

"I want every inch of this building searched!, someone explain to me how the hell did she escape!".

"She appeared to be unconscious in her cell and the guards were checking on her because they thought she was dead".

"Fools! All of you!, find her now!".

I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. If Julianna was to learn of this she would be angry. Cecilia was suppose to be executed tomorrow for attacking the Queen.

Now this mess up happens, why does it seem like I can never control the things around me I'm King dammit!, or was my father right about me not being fit enough to be a King.

I shook my head of those repulsive thoughts, my father knows nothing.

"Your Majesty we must get you to a safe room, we believe she may have attained a gun" his words shock me, she knows this place well but she never struck as the type to know about guns. This is what happens when my father gets in your head.

I was rushed over to a safe room which was under heavy security and my mind drifts to my wife. Shit! "I want my wife's room heavily guarded!" I shouted at them.

I hate being in separate rooms, she still has her family there to take care of her. I can't keep putting her through this all, it's too much even for me.

I walked over to the bed in the corner, my head hung in my hands as I wrapped my brain around this mess.

Tonight's function was suppose to be about the opening of the markets in the town, it was a huge benefit for the farmers who seek sales of their crops but what an unexpected turn of events.
