Prince Leonardo's' Virtues

Chapter 28

"Everyone out the room now!" His voice stern. I gazed at the nurse who was just attending to him.

"Guards!" He shouted again.

They came in at once." Escort them out of my room now, I need to wrap my head around what's going on here". He said and the guards glanced nervously at me unsure of what to do.

I shook my head as I made my way to the room. Its no use arguing with someone who doesn't remember anything.

I stood outside the door as my wondered to a happier time. When exactly was our happy time?. My wedding night maybe? But then again that moment was short lived when we woke the next day and his father gave him two women to sleep with.

Every good memory is followed by a bad.

I shake my head to rid my mind of these thoughts its to depressing.

***********************************

3 days later.

Leonardo was discharged today and his attitude towards me is angering." Do you not know how to speak to someone without being rude!" I snap at him.

"I'm being rude?, that ring on your finger give it back to me now!, you thief!" He shouted again.

I scoffed at him." You think I stole this? What kind of an assumption is that Your Majesty".

He was staring me deep in my eyes and for a second I thought he would pull me towards him and kiss me passionately.

"The ring!" He said sternly as he held his hand out to me.

I slid the ring off my finger slowly and dropped it his palm.

He held it up to his eyes as he examined it closely." Magnificent isn't it?" He says as he falls into a trance with the diamonds.

"It does match your eyes though". He added softly.

A small smile made its way across my lips for a brief second.

"So I've been told" I reply softly.

He cleared his throat and ran his hand through his hair." If you don't mind I must be off to bed now"

My eyes were wide..he's asking me to leave again.

"Fine". I say as I walked over to the door. I risked a glance over my shoulders and he was still standing there staring at me.

Why does this hurt so much....why does everything revolving around me and Leo hurt this much?." Before I go can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?" His voice low.

"What do you remember?".

He looked at me confused as if I asked him some intellectual question." That really is of no concern to you, now please exit my room whatever you're offering I'm not interested".

"Why are you being rude for no apparent reason!".

"Because you're making me confused, there's something you're not telling me and I'm trying to wrap my head around this all but it feels blurred out for some strange reason and it's frustrating".

I'm confusing him?.

"I will only tell what you ask".

"Then explain to me why I have a gunshot wound, explain to me why I haven't seen my god damn father since I got out the hospital!".

"Your...um..your father is in the prison cell at towns hall and as for your injury it was an unfortunate incident that should have been avoided had you not been so generous".

"Your being cryptic"

"I am?, I haven't noticed just like I haven't notice how snobbish and stuck up you were all this time".

He narrowed his eyes at me venomously." Guards!" He shouted and two of the guards came into the room." I want this woman tossed in the dungeon immediately!" He shouted again.

I scoffed." And to what do I owe such punishment?".

"For one you stole my mother's ring! And you disrespected royalty!".

"I did not steal that ring!".
But then I can't tell him I'm his wife he would accuse me of lying about that to.

"Guards get her out of here now!". He shouted and I watched as the guards approached me and took my hand.

How can I help him when he's being such an ass!.

Once we were outside the door they let me go and apologized.

Leonardo's POV

I paced my room angrily, this woman has lost her mind talking to me like that and my father is in prison? When the hell did that happened. I need to go see him maybe he could explain to me what the hell is happening in my life right now.

I summoned the guards and we took off in the direction of the town's hall.

When we got there I quickly walked through the narrow hallways in search of my father.

The place smelt old and dusty, why my father is in here I do not know.

I approached a cell that was secluded in a dark corner. On a bed sitting was my father, he looked pale and dirty.

"Father" my voice hoarse.

He looked up at me in shock." Leonardo, to what do I owe this visit? You've been injured" he said nodding to my chest that had bandages poking out by my neck.

"I don't know, I woke up in the hospital some days ago and I don't remember what happened. Why are you in here father?".

He looked at me strangely as though he too was trying to figure out what I was saying." You've lost your memory son" he said in shock." Have them release me and I will explain all"

"But why are you in here to begin with".

"I was framed son, waiting on you to come release from this death hole".

Framed? But who would do this to my father." Guards release him immediately!".

A smile curled on to his lips but it was a menacing one but I didn't have time to figure that out.

Once we were out and back to the palace my father sighed heavily as though all his stress has been lifted.

That woman with the captivating eyes were standing in the hallway and for some strange reason she froze completely as she made eye contact with my father.

"Julianna dear how nice it is to see you again" my father said to her but his voice was laced with what revenge?, hate?.

She didn't speak just stood there looking paralyzed..... strange......
