Close to the Crown (On hold until 2021)

Chapter Twenty-Four

A/N: Hey Guys. So this is a reasonably quick update, though, I am busy today so I don’t know how long this is going to be. I do know however, that the book will be finished by the end of May and that the new book will be started soon after that.

There will be three books in the Crown series and I am finalising the name for the second book, although I might change the name half way through. I also know what will happen in each book, but I am trying to think of a suitable summary for the second book. I have also changed the summary of this book slightly as well, but it doesn’t change anything in the book.

On a completely different note, I will be getting the result for my second maths exam in less than two weeks. On the first exam, I got an A, so I am hoping to either equal or better that in the second one. Please wish me luck!

And finally, we have now reached 1750 views on this story! I am very happy and I would like to thank you all for your support throughout this story!

Can we aim for 2000? I would be over the moon!

I will also follow anyone who votes!!

Just to let you know that this is more of a filler chapter and not that much will happen. I kind of changed the plans for this chapter at the last minute, so it might get a bit lengthy in places, but bear with me.

Take care, my dears.

--------------

The wedding was in nine days and the palace was getting busier by the day. One or two guests arrived every day, so now that we had around 15 guests staying in the guest wing, and the palace seemed a lot fuller. William was keeping an extra eye out, now that the Walter brothers had arrived for the wedding, and were staying with us for two weeks.

“They are bad news, I’m telling you!” William huffed, sitting at his desk with a coffee.

I rolled my eyes, “I’m sure that’s not true, perhaps, you are just jealous. After all, they are very handsome, and they are in their early twenties...”

“Don’t even think about it!” He warned, his eyes turning cold.

I saluted him in a mocking manner, and then leant back in my desk chair before frowning at the computer. I was meant to go and visit my father that afternoon, but I really didn’t want to, not with Aaron there. William wanted to come with me, but I knew he would only start something that he couldn’t finish, so I denied him the opportunity.

“What’s the frown for?” He asked, “Looked in the mirror, have you?”

“Oh very funny William, really mature...” I rolled my eyes, “No, I’m just thinking...”

“Would you like to tell me what it is about?” He asked politely.

I looked at him for a moment, then shook my head, “No, it’s alright... What have you planned for this afternoon?”

He sighed, “Well, Zachary has rearranged one of my digital meeting for this afternoon, so I’ll be stuck in here for a few hours.”

“Sounds like fun...” I teased.

He shrugged, “You are taking someone with you aren’t you? I understand you hesitation about taking me with you, it probably wasn’t a wise idea on my part, but I want someone with you...”

“I’ll ask Sebastian...” I said instantly.

His eyes narrowed, “And how is that a wise idea, I bet he just wants to bed you...”

“He wouldn’t do that!” I defended, “You don’t know anything!”

“And you do?” He scoffed.
