P Is Silent.

chapter 23

Unedited.

Adeline broke down after that, she wouldn't stop crying, everytime i thought she was done, she would continue to blame herself, then the crying would start again.

She cried for about 20 minutes,  and in those 20 minutes, I spent trying to calm my hysterical crying sister, who's head laid on my lap until she eventually fell asleep.

I couldn't imagine the pain she was going through now. After that, I laid her head gently onto a pillow, kissed her forehead and pulled up her covers before leaving.

When I walked into my mother's room, she was sitting on top of the king sized bed in the room, looking at nothing in particular.

"Mother." I called out to her, she seemed to snap out of her thinking face, still in black, she approached me and gave me a hug like I was going to disappear on her.

Not to blame her, after all I had a history of running away from home. "Sweetie, you are here!" She exclaimed and like my sister she let out the water works.

In that moment I felt like my family was falling apart, one would think that because we were royal family we didn't have issues.
The truth was, we probably had more issues than any family, between handling your own family,  the paparazzi and running a country all whilst keeping a strong facade and a smile face, it was only fair that you let out a heavy breath.  In this moment that was what my mother did.

I promised myself then, holding my mother that who ever did this injustice to my sister, to my mother, to my father, to my people was going to pay...I would make him or her pay.

"I'm here mom, it's alright." I told her while holding her tight.
"I'm so sorry you have to see me like this." She apologized, moving away from me and putting on her queen pose.

I laughed before answering her. "Before a queen you are a mother, and before mother you are human, if not your children then who will you share your sorrows with." I asked her with a sad smile on my face.

"Your father." She sarcastically said and i laughed." Mom!" I exclaimed, she chuckled a bit and that lit up my mood.

"Alright alright. ..he's probably busting his head with other things anyway....I'm glad you are here." She told me and I smiled at her.

"Ofcause I am, you need not to worry, we will find a solution to all of this, please get some sleep, I have to see dad before I retire for the night as well. " I told her sofly, she nodded her head before she answered.

"Tell him to come and rest , he needs it." She said while sitting at the edge of the bed.

"I will." Smiling lightly I walked out of the room and pulled the door close behind me, then began my wall down the hall way.

I walked in my father's study room to find Alex pacing, after my chat with Adeline and a long chat with mom I went to see my Father.

He was sitting with his hands under his chin balancing his head.

The grey hairs scattered on his head, he looked like he was thinking hard.
"Father." I called out to him and kneeled in front of him, I may not have agreed to most of their decisions towards me but I loved my parents dearly.

"Oh! My princess, you are here." He stated, he looked at me with tired eyes, I know he would never admit it, but he was getting old, too old to be handling such stress if you asked me.

" you  need rest, your daughter is here and she will handle all of your troubles." I announced, he rested his cheek on the Palm I offered. And before he could protest I persuaded him more.

"I know you are worried but please, it won't do you any good to worry so much, your health will deteriorate."

He sighed defeatedly. "Alright, I shall rest for a while, I'm trusting you with all of this." He kissed my forehead before standing from his chair and walking away, but not before patting a still pacing Alex at the back and looked at me with a small smile.

After he was gone I stood to my feet, Alex still had the worried expression on, as if his one true fear was coming true.

I walked to him and hugged his torso from behind. "What's wrong, what are you so worried about my Grey?" I asked him, still holding him close.

He was silent for a while before he slowly mumbled "it's all my fault." Trying to understand what he mean't I asked again what he meant.

"I know who it is that is causing all of this,  you nor your kingdom are the targets,  this was all to get back at me."

I listen attentively as he told what he thought was, although we had no evidence, his hypothesis seemed to be of logic .

The question that remained was how where we going to catch this thief.

So this is very short, but after going M.I.A for a while I thought why not write some... anywho I'm finishing with myy exams *partly what kept me occupied * I'm probably going to update more frequently after the end of this new week
