Princess of England (Harry Styles)

Chapter 48

*** A Few Days Later ***

Harry and I were in the kitchen making lunch for the both of us. I laughed as he said something funny.

Before I could do anything else a pair of arms wrapped around me from behind. Pictures and horrible memories from the night I was kidnapped flashed into my mind. I began to cry and kick the person. They got away from me and I went to Harry. He wrapped his arms around me protectively.

"Louis!!" Eleanor yelled.

"Damn it, Lou!" Harry scolded. "I told you not to do that the last time you did that."

"I'm sorry!" He yelled. "I was just hugging her! I thought she was fine by now."

"Are you okay, baby?" Harry asked me. I nodded and he pulled me to him again. When I recovered from that I let go of Harry and hugged Louis.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. He kissed the top of my head.

"I shouldn't have done that. Again."


El, Lou, Harry, and I hung out for the day. Just doing whatever in the palace and out in the city. Eleanor and I bought some more new clothes while Harry stood, at a distance of five feet or closer, watching us. He even said he had to come into the dressing room with me. Which I didn't mind.

It was sweet how he was so protective of me now. He was before but this time it's like ten times more.


~~~ Harry's POV ~~~

I made sure that Xavier kept a close eye on Belle as she sat on the back patio reading her novel. I went back into the palace and looked for the King.

"King William!!" I called when he was going up the main staircase. He stopped at turned around to me. I ran up the steps and got up to him.

"Harry, how many times have I told you that you can just call me William?" He asked with a small laugh. He began walking again and I followed behind.

"It just feels weird. You being the ruler of the country I live in and me calling you by your first name." I said truthfully.

"Work on it, son." He smiled and grabbed some papers from the lady by his office door. "What's on your mind, Harry?" He asked sitting down.

"Sir, I was called a couple days ago by my manager." He looked up to me. "The boys and I have an American tour coming up."

"Where is this going?"

"I can't leave Belle behind. I'd be worrying too much and it would just distract me-"

"So you're asking me if she can come?" He asked. I nodded. The King sighed and put his hands on his face. "Okay. I know you can't leave her side, but I don't know if I can allow her to leave the country."

"Sir, please. I can't leave her, knowing that she could possibly have something else happen to her when I'm nine plus hours away. You can have as many guards come with us as you'd like, I don't care. I just need her with me." He looked up at me.

"How long would you be gone?"

"Three months. Give or take." He didn't say anything for a few minutes. He finally sighed and looked at me.

"If I let her go with you I need you to promise me something's."

"Anything, King William."

"First call me by my first name."

"Sorry, again." I apologized.

"I need you to make sure she's alright. I need you to call me every morning and night to keep me updated. Make sure she never leaves your sight." He rambled off some more things and I nodded and listened carefully.

"I've told you so many times that I will never let anything happen to her ever again. I promise to keep that promise." He nodded.

"I know Harry. You're a good kid and you love my daughter every much. I can tell." He paused. "I'll let her go." I smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you, sir." He nodded and I left his office I went down the steps and back outside. Belle was still reading her novel, on the patio couch. I carefully sat behind her and put my legs on top of hers. She scooted back and leaned her head against my shoulder when I put my arms around her.

"Where'd you go?" She asked.

"To talk to your dad." She looked up from her book and to me.

"For?" She asked. I smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Because I had to ask him something." She raised an eyebrow. She's so cute. "I have to go on tour."

"What?" She asked. Her eyes began to get watery.

"Belle, you didn't let me finish." I said with a smile. "I talked to your dad to see if you can come with me and he agreed."

"H-he did?" I nodded and pushed back a strand of her hair. She looked back down to her book and put her bookmark in her spot. "When do we leave?" She asked bringing a smile to my face.
