A Royal Love: William

Chapter seven

"My prince, my lady, the citizens have arrived." A servant tells us. We both look at him. "Send them in." I say to him. The servant bows and leaves. "I'm scarred, what are they going to say? Will they be mad?" I look at her. "We'll just have to wait to know." The servant comes back inside. "Bow to your Prince and his future wife." We both look the door and see Sally and Kyle enter. They don't look up yet and just bow. I look at the servant. "Leave us." "Yes, my prince."

Sally and Kyle suddenly look up after hearing my voice. "Y-You're the prince?" Sally asks me puzzled. I look at her. "Yes, I am prince William. The future king." "So this means that we actually met you, the crown prince and we didn't know?" Sally asks still puzzled. "Yes, that is correct." "You lied to us!? You lied to Luna!?" Kyle yells. "Yes, I did. Can you stop yelling? If you keep doing that, the guards will think that I am in danger and will arrest you." "I don't care about that! Why did you pretend to be someone else? And why did try to get close to Luna? What did you do to her!?" Kyle keeps yelling. "Is that why she isn't home and doesn't answer her phone?" Sally asks. "He didn't do anything." Luna says. "We weren't talking to you." Kyle says angrily to her. "No, but you were talking about me." She answers. Kyle and Sally look at her. "Luna?" Sally asks while looking at her closely. "Yes, that's my name." She smiles. "I-I didn't recognise you." Sally says still looking at her closely. "Sally, can you stop staring, it's pretty scary." "It is you!" She suddenly yells. And like I warned them, five guards heavily armed entered the room and looked at us.

"My prince, my lady, are you alright?" One of them askes in panic. "We are fine, do not worry." I answer. "Do you wish to end this visit?" Another guard asks. "No, you can go now." "Yes, my prince." With that said they left. I looked at Sally. "What did I just say about yelling?" "Sorry." "Wait, wait, wait. So you're telling me that he lied to you right in your face and you just forgive like nothing happened?" Kyle askes Luna. "At first, I was really mad, but then I understood why he did it. He just wanted to live a normal life even if it was just for a couple of nights. And I really like him." She says smiling at me. I smile back at her. Sally looks at Luna. "I can't believe you'll be the future queen!" Luna smiles at her. "I can't believe it either. But I'll only be it if his father gives us his blessing." "And he will, who wouldn't want you as daughter in law?" Sally askes.

"Only blind people." We all look at the doors and see Matt. "But you never know with father." He says walking to us. "I thought you needed to study?" I ask him. "Yeah, I don't really like studying, so I stopped." "What about the guard father has sent to guard you?" He laughs. "Father thinks he knows how to control me, but he'll never succeed in that. He thought that I would try to escape through the window, so he put the smart guards in the rooms next to mine. But I know that he thought I would do that. So I just walked out of my room with a simple excuse to the poor new guard who was guarding there." "You're unbelievable." "I know." He took a seat in the other sofa chair next to me. "So, how's it going in here?"

Sally looks at Matt. "I've always heard that you were the naughty prince and now I see why they call you that." "I'm not naughty, I just like doing things my way. Which is never father's way." Matt looks to me again. "Do you know how long father and mother will be away?" "No, they didn't know. They told that when you were with us." "Yeah, but it wouldn't be the first time that they lie to me and tell the truth to you." I look down. "I'm going out tonight, so don't worry if you can't find me." I look back at him. "Are you going to a bar again with-" I can't finish my sentence because Matt put his hand on my mouth. "Don't say names in the castle, Will, you never know who listens." I take his hand of my mouth. "Aren't you overreacting a little?" "No, I'm not. Father hates me and he would love to ruin the only fun I have in this stupid life. So please don't say any names, it's not only for me but also for safety. You never know what father would do." "Okay, I won't say any names." He smiles again. "Good. I'll see when I'll see you. Bye!" With that said, he left.

"Poor Matt, he really hates being a prince." Luna says. I look at her. "He always has, our parents always saw me as the perfect child and him as a mistake." "That must be horrible." "Yeah, it is." "He really doesn't trust your father, does he?" Kyle asks me. "If we were in a war, he would trust the enemy more than our father." I answer.

We talked a while especially about Luna and me. "My prince?" I look at the servant who is standing in the doorway. "Yes?" "It is time for your guests to leave." "Already?" Sally asks disappointed. The servant looks irritated at her. "The prince has important duties to attend to." Luna stands up with me. "It was nice to meet you." She says to them. "It was an honour to meet the crown prince and his girlfriend." Kyle says politely. We both smile to them and watch them leave.

"Oh good, there're gone." I say relieved. "What?" "Now I can get out of these cloths." "Me too. I love the dress, but it's pretty uncomfortable." "You're really beautiful in that dress." She smiles at me. "Thank you. "Come on, I'll walk with you to your bedroom." "Uh sure, but don't you want to get changed?" "Yes I do, but I want to see where your bedroom is." "So you're just curious?" I smile at her in reply.

Once in her room I looked around while she changed in to something more comfortable in her bathroom. The room was smaller than mine and was white. I sat down on the bed and waited. After a while she came out of her bathroom wearing a black loose tank top with shorts. "And once again, you're beautiful." I say looking at her. She walks to me and sits down next to me. "You don't always have to say that." "I know, but you're beautiful." She smiles and kisses my cheek. "Is that all I get?" she laughs and kisses me on the lips. "Is that good enough?" She asks when we stop kissing. I look sad at her. "No." "Poor Will." She says and squeezes my cheek. I take her hand away from my cheek and hold it. I lean in and kiss her again. She kisses back. I put a hand on her cheek and the other which was holding her hand before on her hip.

"My prince? My lady?" We stop kissing and look to maid who is standing in the doorway. "What were you doing?" She asks us anxious. I look at Luna and then back at the maid. "We were just kissing." She looked at Luna. "Dressed like that?" She then looked at my hand on Luna's hip. "With your hand there?" Then back at the both of us. "In a bedroom, with the doors closed and on a bed?" "Okay. If you put it like that, then it does sound bad." I say to her. "I am afraid that I have to report this to your father." I look at her very anxious. "No! do not do that! It is not what you think!" "Yeah, we weren't doing anything bad. We were just kissing!" Luna says sounding anxious too. "I am sorry but I have to report it." The maid says before leaving the room. "No! wait!" We said, got up and ran after her.

After a while of running through the corridors we found her. For a maid she sure can run fast. "Wait!" I yelled to her, but she kept running. Suddenly two guards stopped the maid and looked at us. "What is going on?" One of them asks. "Nothing, it is just a misunderstanding." I say to them. "No it was not." The maid says. She looks at the guards. "I caught them making out in a closed bedroom on the bed." "What!?" The two guard said together and looked at Luna and me. "It isn't what you think, we were-" Luna began, but one of the guards interrupted her. "We need to report this to the king." "No, do not-" I began but was interrupted by the other guard who took his cell phone and called someone. "Your majesty, I am sorry to disturb you but there is something you need to hear." He says and walks away with the other guard and the maid following him.

"We're doomed." I say to Luna. "Do you think he's going to be mad?" She asks me. "I know he'll be very mad." "What did you do?" I don't bother to look who said it because I already know who said it, Matt. "That's the bad thing, we didn't do anything." I say to him. "Then why are you doomed and will he be mad? He's never mad at you so what happened?" He says walking closer. "We were in Luna's room kissing." I answer. He looks confused. "What's bad about that? Isn't that what father wants?" "A maid and two guards thought that we were going to do more than just kissing." Luna says to him. Matt smiles slyly. "They thought that you two were going to sleep together?" "Yes and now they're calling father." "But that means that he'll come back early!" "Probably." "No! couldn't you be more careful!? I was so happy to have a few days without him!" "We didn't do anything!" "I don't care, now I have to cancel all my plans!" "You can still go out tonight. Your father won't be back until tomorrow morning." Luna says. "Maybe, but I can't risk being caught. Now everyone here will be on high alert." He says and walks away afterwards.
