Peyton's P.O.V +
I saw Lauren come into my castle with Leevi and she looked scared, worried, anxious, sad, and... another emotion I can't explain.
Leevi, however, was biting his lip
"Your highness, Princess Lauren is here" One of my servants said
"Bring her in. Make sure her friend stays outside" I ordered, the servant bowed and went out, to fetch Lauen
She came in, holding her stomache, and looking at the floor
"Yes, Lauren?" I asked
"I- Im pregnant" She whispered "But the baby isn't yours, nor Leevi's. The father is a human boy name Blake"
I nodded, getting her to carry on
"And.. And im scared, because last year, I got pregnant... and I had a miscarriage. I fell down the stairs. But I haven't told my parents about this, and I was hoping you won't tell them either"
"I won't, trust me" I told her, gently taking her hand and sitting her on the silver throne, special for her
"I hope you really mean it" She whispered "I don't want anybody getting hurt"
"Nobody's getting hurt, Lauren. You're my fiance. I don't want you to hate me, it'd ruin our wedding" I said
"When is it?" She whispered the words she never wanted to ask
"On saturday. Your dress had already been made, and the venue is here, in my palace garden" I told her "Everything is perfect, your mother is sure you'll love it"
"She better be right" Lauren muttered
I noticed her other friends, Bailey and William, stood talking to Leevi
"Jeoffery" I shouted "Let the other two in"
My servant nodded and went to get Bailey and William, who, as soon as they saw Lauren and and hugged her, she gladly accepted their hug
"That's another thing, once we're married you cannot communicate to or see other males apart from me. You shall have only female servants, and will not look at, or communicate with any other males in this castle" I told Lauren
She sighed and pulled away from the hug, sitting in her silver throne
"Peyton, why are you stripping Lauren from her freedom? She is a princess and has her own rights. She should be able to see and talk to anyone she likes, and what if her child is a boy? She wouldn't get to see him, because he'd be with us" Bailey stated
"Im not stripping Lauren from her freedom. I would much rather know where she is than to be sleeping around all of the time" I said
"You are, though" William said "Look at her. She's bored to the bone when she comes to visit you. If she has no freedom now, she'll never have a life"
"And then she won't make the same mistakes we made in the past" I told them
"You dropped me on my head when I was 5 months old. How could my life get any worse than that?" Lauren said through gritted teeth
"Sorry" I told her, making eye contact for a second, before she looked away, her beutiful eyes staring at nothing in peticular, her dyed red hair falling over her shoulders
"We're getting married the day before Leevi's birthday" She whispered
"his birthday's on friday, not sunday" Bailey said
"No. It's on sunday, Bailey." William said
"Oh" Bailey said, forming a 'O' shape with his mouth
