T.E.M.D (Charles Valois Fanfic)(Stopped)

Chapter 19

Lexi's POV

Charles...

'What exactly did you hear me telling Mikayla?' I was dead that's what I know for certain.

'I was coming from a meeting and I hear 2 voices talking and I peak to see you talking about your father and royal lifestyle. I am confused. Your maid not exactly royalty.' He said.

'Look Charles. It's too complex to talk to you about this and I don't have the time.'

'I am your King and as my subject you will abide my orders.' He was serious the blank face said it all. I knew I was going to have to explain myself. 3 weeks until I left and this happens, my plan is falling apart and I feel like the escape might not be able to happen now. Why couldn't I shut my mouth in public places.

'I will tell you everything but Charles I need to do something first for Francesca. Tomorrow evening is the best I can do. I will tell you the whole story.' I begged at the point.

'Alright we will dine together but I want the truth and nothing but the truth. Do you here me?'

I nodded turned on my heel and rushed to find Francesca. When I went to her room a maid told me she was outside with her ladies watching, her husband and Prince Henri joust. I thanked her and departed and ran towards the field were the tournaments was being held. I saw Francesca sitting with Anna beside her and clapping at the man hitting his opponent of the horse. The only problem was that Valarie was there. Ugh how I meant to signal her now.

I rushed inside one of the tents without a thought avoiding detection and then someone voice behind me said 'Lele, have you come to wish me luck because I would be honoured to receive your favour.'

'Henri! What are you doing here and with no shirt.' But he did look good though might I say.

'Thanks.' Wait I said that out loud, stupid me.

'To answer you question am getting ready for the joust and this my tent, you know.'

'Oh right. I should leave so you can get ready.' I giggled with nervousness.#

'Wait. Why did you enter?'

'I was trying to hide from someone and didn't want to be detected whilst trying to get a hold of Fran.'

'Oh. I could past the message.'

'You have a joust.'

'I know but I don't really want to do this but it's for appearances.'

'Oh then why don't you just leave.'

'I can't I am a Prince. Sometimes I wish I could leave and go somewhere where people didn't treat me like royalty. Just Henri.

'It doesn't work out trust me.'

'Why? Cause they will find me. I could dress as a peasant and hide for the rest of my life.'

'Trust me they will find out.'

'How do you know this all?'

I had to tell him. I don't why but I just had the urge for some reason I could tell him like he was a friend I knew all my life.

'Listen to me Henri. I know this...' I took deep breathe and continued ' because I did this.'

'You mean run away from home.'

'Not only that but I abandoned my throne and my family because I didn't want the Royal lifestyle.'

He faced was shocked but it changed to smile 'So I ain't the only one feeling suffocated by the way the rich live.'
