Rittenhouse Royalty

Chapter Ten

Chapter 10: Egytopia

After a a few more minuets of resting they all decided to get back on the road anxious to be as far away from Masonia as possible. It was a very quiet ride as everyone was still processing everything that had been said. eventually Rufus and Jiya had fallen a bit behind Lucy and Wyatt and were out of ear shot.

"Wyatt, I am truly sorry about Jessica. Garcia is a monster. I am sure she knew you loved her very much and I'm sure if there was a way to change things you would."

"I would give anything to bring Jess back. But not for the reasons you are thinking." Lucy turned as best she could to look at him not quite sure what he was trying to tell her. "I want to bring her back because she was innocent in all of this. She never asked for me to fall in love with her and she never asked for my brother to take control of things like he did. I wish I could give her back the life she deserved to live, and that was never meant to be with me. Besides Theres someone else I feel more for."

"There is? Then why did you leave? When you could have lived out your life happily with her?" As hurt as she was that Wyatt could be in love with someone else she still wanted him to be happy even if that wasn't with her.

"Luce, don't you see? You are that someone. I have loved you since we were 10. I was devastated that next summer when I didn't get to see you. Then I found out that you were set to marry Garcia. I didn't think I had a chance, I figured by then everyone would have brainwashed you into loving my brother just like everyone else. Thats when I met Jess, she helped ease the pain of losing you. Then when, well it was that day that I promised myself I wouldn't let anything like that happen to you at the hands of my brother."

"Wyatt," Suddenly the sound of racing hoses was heard in the distance and Rufus and Jiya quickly caught up with them.

"Wyatt we gotta get going now! they are catching up to us." Then the took off as quickly as their horses could carry them. within a few minutes they had made it to the gates of Egytopia. There were guards at the gate keeping any and all trespassers out. When they saw the group quickly approaching they stood strong in front of the gates blocking their path.

"Halt! Who are you?"

"I am Prince Wyatt of Masonia and this" signaling to Lucy "is Princess Luceilia of Rittenhouse. Queen Christopher is expecting us. Let us in quickly we are being pursued. They want to hurt the Princess." The guards quickly moved aside and opened the gate allowing the two horses to pass through. They can then be heard arguing with their pursuers and not allowing them entry. Wyatt proceeded to lead them up to the palace where they were then shown to the throne room to await Queen Christopher. After about twenty minuets they the doors were opened and two women entered the room. The first to enter the room was a woman who looked to be of Indian descent, short dark hair, dark brown eyes, and a no-nonsense attitude. The second to enter looked more African then Indian and looked to be much kinder in temperament. The First woman walked over to where they all stood followed by the second. When they reached them Wyatt took charge once again.

 "Queen Denise, Queen Michelle, may I introduce Princess Luceilia of Rittenhouse."
