I entangled from the hug and talked to the boys about the whole story.

"So, Louis knows?" they asked. I nodded.

"That's why he's so close to me, to think that this boy over here, that we're secretly dating." I looked at Zayn, he simply blushed and smiled at me.

"That was before, babe. Before." He said.

"Yeah, yeah." I nodded and smiled at him.

"Whoa. We've been knowing you for ages and we didn't even know that you're a princess." Liam laughed.

"Yep, good hiding isn't it?" We all laughed.

"Princess Nicole!" I stood up and saw Joseph panting.

"Joseph, what happened?!" I asked worriedly, seeing Joseph panting like a dog. He seemed to be finding me for a long time.

"You need to go to the palace. Now!" I quickly panicked when I heard him. I looked at the boys.

"I promised you right?" I said.

"You're leaving again?" Zayn stood up next to me.

"No. You guys are coming with me." I held his hand and the boys followed.

Zayn opened the door for me and we went inside the limo. I was fiddling with his fingers that are intertwined with mine. I'm so nervous for this...

"Babe, don't panic. Shhhhh..." He kissed my forehead and rested my head on his shoulder. I can feel my tears falling to his tuxedo. He noticed it and wiped it away with his thumb.

"Everything will be alright." That's the last word I heard until I fell into a deep sleep.

"Nikki, wake up we're at the airport." Zayn's voice woke me up. I went out of the car and the papz has gone wild. Oh come on!

"Joseph, don't let One Direction leave the limo." I whispered to him, he nodded and told it to the other bodyguard who's inside the limo also. The limo stayed silent, and I was the only one who went out. I walked very quickly, with Joseph and the bodyguards surrounding me.

"Let them now." I said to Joseph. I turned around very quick and saw the boys peacefully walking with their hood on now. The paps where now gone.

"Good! You're here." I said at the boys. Zayn intertwined his hand on mine and we swiftly went inside the gate where the royal plane is.

When we got in I told the pilot, "Back to Eutopia."

I sat beside Zayn. We're the only ones who are awake. All of the boys were tired.

"Babe, are you alright?" He asked. I looked at him in the eyes.

"I'm alright." I smiled. He caressed my cheek and kissed me.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright." He smiled at me. In Zayn, I feel in peace. I feel safe and sound.

"I love you." He smiled.

"I love you too." I pecked his lips and cuddled with him.

When we got there, the limo quickly drove us to the palace. Zayn never lets go of my hand, he just intertwined it with mine, tightly.

I grabbed my phone and called Mark, "Mark, we're near. What happened?" I tried to stay calm.

"Father... He's..." He cried.

"What?!" I began crying. The phone went dead. What the?

"What? What happened?!" Zayn asked.

"I-I don't know! The phone became dead but he said something about father!" I wiped my tears.

"shhhh. Calm down, Nikki." He hugged me tight, not letting me go.

This is it. We're already at the palace. I let go of Zayn's hand and ran to my Father's room.

"Father?! Father?!" I yelled all across the hallway.

"Father!" I opened the door, just to see a curtain, my Mum, and Mark. I can hear their soft cries and words about Father. They turned around and saw me.

"What happened?!" I asked.

"Nikki... Your father..." Mum hugged me tight. Mark just kept crying.

"What?! What happened to father?! Tell me!" I cried.

"Father's.... dead."

No, this is all a dream.

No, no, no... This can't be happening!!!

"No! THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!!" I cried on my Mother's shoulder.

"Mother! Tell me that's not true! Tell me!" I cried and Mum just hugged me tighter.

"Nobody wants this to happen, Nikki. Nobody..." She said. I opened the curtains to see my father's lifeless body lying on the bed. I got on my knees and cried at his side.

"Wake up, father...." I cried.

Zayn's POV:

I saw her, crying on her knees and at the side of her father. Mark and the Queen saw us.

"You're One Direction?" The Queen asked.

"Yes, you're majesty." Turn the politeness on. She nodded slowly and went to me.

"Zayn, you take care of my daughter for awhile, I've got some news to announce." She wiped her tears and went out of the room. I guess she'll get ready for the death announcement.

"Nikki..." I went to her. She looked at me. Her eyes were puffed and she looks very far from okay.

"Zayn, he's gone..." She cried to me. I hugged her tightly.

"Shhhhhh." I soothe her hair. I hate seeing her like this...
