The Pirate Prince L.T

For The Time Being

Chapter Fifty Five

When all those who had the rank high enough to comment on the matter finally gathered in the tent, all the eyes rested on the prince.

After seeing Louie's disgusting look, Lilian decided to stop feeling ashamed, and although she was still shocked by all the things he had happened, she knew as a dutiful princess, that she could not allow herself to be sentimental.

It was clear that everyone was shocked, and some of them even showed their disapproval of her state on their faces, but Lilian needed to endure it all for now. When she was to be alone, there was plenty of time to throw himself in his sorrow and wallow in self-pity.

So she looked at Harry with her superior look, "the French..."

Harry frowned with frustration - after hearing the words of how Lilian's presence could threatened his power from Gemma- he cut Lilian off, "...reached up to the gates of London? I have messengers to hear these news I hope you haven't come all the way here for that princess because we have faster messengers than you ... "and slipped his eyes down to her belly making other men snigger and smirk.

He knew he was being a little bitch teasing a lonely helpless girl like that, but Harry always paid attention to Gemma's words, and he had never been harmed. After seeing Lilian, Gemma had told Harry that she could easily get Louie on her own side and had asked Harry to terminate such chance so that Gemma could speed up getting closer to Louis.

At the bottom of his mind though, Harry could not push back the fact that the child Lilian carried did in fact belong to Louis, but part of his mind that had been taking control of the affairs lately, had repeatedly told him not to pay attention to these minor things.

"You were not alongside Lilly all the time to see what her former spouse did with or to her!" it said to him

Seeing that he had humiliated a girl with those words in front of his men, he felt bad and guilty, but before he could manage to say anything, she began once again, "The French are close, yes. It's not just that. A one day the trip between several villages could give you that information... But what I was trying to say before I was so rudely interrupted was, that have they even penetrated the palace...So don't go around thinking that it's no problem to waste a or two. Don't hope for the Italian army is in the front and does the hard work for you while you walk right onto the palace to rule. Unfortunately it is not going to happen. "

With those words said, everyone began to chatter, and Harry who felt that this was a kind of conspiracy voiced his thoughts louder than intended," How do we know you aren't lying? Everyone here know about the past between you and Louis, How do we know that you are not here to distract us from or goal? "

The eyes turned to the princess once more, and Lilian who was not pleased with the gaze of all the man to her stomach at all, bent slightly forward to shelter it behind the table, and nearly shouted, "Prevent your goal? How exactly do I do that? By telling you not to hesitate to go? "

"Maybe you want to kill our people by sending us ahead?!" One of the men who wanted to highlight his presence and gain Harry's favor tried. And that made the rest of the people nod to confirm.

Harry's silence made Lilian turn to Harry, "I understand that anyone with such mind may think everyone is as foul as them. Perhaps if you were in my place, you'd prefer to compete with your rivals first and have them out of the way, but you can see that I have come here risking my life, with no intention of accompanying you back to London. I came to you because you were rebelling against the government with the claim of being with the people. .. "
