A Royal Love: Matthew

Chapter eleven

-May's POV-

I walked to the headquarters. Normally nobody is going to be there yet, it's too early for the others to come. I usually don't come this early either, but I need to prepare what I'm going to say to them. When Matt and I married seven months ago, we told the others together. But I've got to tell this myself and he understood that.

I open the doors and smile when I see that nobody is here. Once I'm inside, I close the doors again and walk to my office. I open the door and walk in. "Good evening." I look surprised when I see the king sitting on the sofa. I take out my gun that I keep on my belt when I go out like the leader of the rebels. "Do not even try, I never come alone." He says with an evil smile. Right after he says that, a lot of guards come out of their hiding spots. All pointing their guns at me. I look at him. "How did you know about this place?" "I am the king it was only a matter of time before I discovered it." I look around me. They're everywhere. "You are clearly outnumbered, give up." He says still with that stupid smile.

I look at him. "Fine, you've got me." "Put your gun and other weapons that you have on the ground." I drop my gun and take my knife out of my boot. I look at it and drop it. "Is that all?" He asks surprised. "Yes, that's all. I don't like having too much with me and I never go on a mission alone." He looks at a guard. "Take the gun and knife away from her. He nods and walks toward me. He takes the gun and knife and walks away. He then looks at two guards behind me. "You two take her with you." "Where are we going?" I ask him. "To an press conference." He says as he walks away with a few guards. "A press conference?" I ask but he doesn't response.

After a short ride in one of the cars of the king –with a lot of guards that are still on high alert- we arrive at the press conference. The king walks on the stage while two guards guide me towards it. When I walk on the stage, everyone is staring at me. I see Matt's brother and his wife looking anxious at me. That means that they know who I really am.

"Like you all can see, I caught the leader of the rebels. After we finally discover her identity, she will be punished for what she and her rebels did." He looks at the guard next to me. "Take off her hood." The guard turns to me. "Wait!" I say to him. He stops and looks at the king. "What is it?" the king asks me irritated. "Let me take off my hood." "You?" "Yes, if everyone has to know who I am, then I want to be the one who shows them." "Alright, you can do it." I look at the guard next to me and he takes off the handcuffs that I had on.

I grab my hood and look at the crowd. Everyone is staring at me, they're really curious to see the one who outsmarted the king. I see in the crowd faces that I know. They received the signal I send. I knew it was a good idea to have emergency button on my knife. I push my other emergency button, that one is in my hood. I just hope that Matt comes soon, I'm going to need him to get out of this mess.

"Take it off!" The king suddenly yells. I look at him. I slowly take off my hood, showing everyone my orange hair. I keep looking at the king and take off my sunglasses. He looks at me. "Who are you?" "And why did you become a rebel?" The queen asks me. I walk towards them. "My name is May Ferrato. Sister of Drake Ferrato. Do you remember him?" I ask the king. He looks surprised at me. I look at the queen. "I became a rebel because your husband killed my brother!" She looks shocked. "Is Drake dead!?" William suddenly asks. "He is, Father had sent royal guards to kill my only friend." Matt says walking on the stage. "How could you do that!?" Luna asks the king.

The king looks at two guards. "Arrest her." The guards grab each one of my arms. "Let her go." Matt says walking towards me. The king walks to me too and looks at him. "Why would I do that?" "Because I love her." I hear the crowd talking to each other. The king doesn't show any emotion. "You can easily get over it." "No, I can't. I'm married to her." "You're married?" William asks Matt, but he ignores him and still looks at his father. "You can get a divorce." He says irritated. Matt crosses his arms. "No." "Why not?" His father askes angry. Matt smiles at him. "She's pregnant." "What!?" The press is taking a lot of photos of us now. "You're going to be a father?" William asks Matt, but he still ignores him. The king looks at me. "How long have you been pregnant?" I look at him. "Four months."

He looks at the two guards who are holding my arms. "Take her to the hospital, tell the doctors to remove the baby." "No!" I yell trying to get loose. "You can't do this!" Matt yells to him and walks to him but guards stop him. "Father, do not do this!" William says to his father. "This is just cruel!" Luna yells. The king ignores them. "Darling, it is an innocent child. The child of our son. Let it live." The queen says to the king, but he ignores her too. He looks at the guards that are holding me. "What are you waiting for? Go!" "No!" I yell starting to cry. Everyone is yelling to the king to change his mind. Until we hear a gunshot.
