Royal Secret

New! Chapter 12- Guards

Unedited

Penny's P.O.V

I spent two days in bed catching up on all my missed shows. The joys had skyped me wondering where I was and all the news I had missed.

Surprisingly I am now walking down the hall to assembly with Zeke. He had taken it upon himself to go everywhere even though I have repeated myself I was fine. I had told him and my friends my hip was hurting so I thought it would be good to stay at home however that was the worst decision ever as now he's stressed and worried about me as well as his football match soon.

There was also 2 royal trucks outside the gates and men patrolling around and two at the doors of the school, one of them being Shawn who when I saw he smirked but it was that I'm finally getting to protect you at school smirk. I knew that as when he first heard I was going to school with no bodyguards he hated the idea so he has finally gotten his way.

There had been a lot of talking about the security and why it was here many thought that one of the Royal family was visiting and to my knowledge no one, so imagine the shock I had when my dad wake into the assembly hall.

"Settle, settle. Now you can see we have a special guest with us so please give the king a warm welcome" with that we all got up and bowed.

"Please sit. I am here today to discuss the matter of the increasing attacks on our kingdom. I believe that schools need to protected more in order to stop any attacks reaching the school. You will now have guards patrolling the school and men situated on the gates. Everyone will also be given security cards which will need to be hung round the neck and visible for safety procedures. We do not want to invade your privacy however I believe that if we do not tighter our security it is likely by that there will be an attack at school I do not want you to worry about that or live in fear as it is unlikely. Thank you for your cooperation. Is there any questions?" With that many hands went up and my dad started picking people and answering them.

"Is the risking attacks because of Prince Nickolas being crowned and if so will this stop after the coronation?"

"I believe it is. Many of the people doing the attacks are rebels however there have been a selected few where it is actually just regular people from what we found out the cause is because they want me to say in power and Nickolas to not take charge of the kingdom. However there will be a announcement sooner the date to if he is going to changes anything but if he does it will be the benefit of the country so yes I do believe it is because of him taking charge and it will decrease significantly when he is in charge."

"What are the risks to your life and the princes and princess?" Tommy surprisingly asked this making me wonder how much he actually knows about the royal family.

"I am not worried about my safety at the minute I have no been subjected to any threats however I am worried about the princes and princess as well as princess ginny as I believe they will be subjected to more hate and attacks however I have upped their security and if anything was to happen they know exact what to do" with that the questions where done and my dad was escorted out of school and we was sent to first lesson which happened to be p.e. surprisingly I didn't mind p.e I wasn't amazing at it however and we was doing football. I know surprising ....

But for some reason I can not run and kick a ball the way i want it to go and I have ended up on my back a few times. So no I wasn't looking forward to it.

Lunch time ********

By lunch everyone had gotten used to the guards patrolling the school it was weird and many couldn't help but look at them.

I had just had biology on my own and got let out early so I was heading to the lunch hall when I saw Shawn walking towards me.

"Finally got your way hey" I smiled as he laughed.

" 'bout bloody time, I knew I'd get my way one day just had to wait but now I can watch you and protect you. There's no escaping me mmmmwahhah" with that the bell went and we said our goodbyes. I set on my journey to the lunch hall where duke and Zeke where already talking about football as usual.

I had a tuna pasta salad to eat so they saw I was eating and I wasn't forced to eat a chocolate bar as I have had one today.  Tommy happened to sit by me a while later making me think of matt.

"Tommy can I set you up on a blind date?" I ask even though it was already set up for Fridays football match. Matt likes football and plays it when he ts the chance and tommy went to see the lads so it was a win win situation.

"Erm with who but I suppose you can for a laugh." And I did laugh as I knew they would get on.

"Great I'll introduce you Friday at the football match oh and he's name is matt"
