Chapter 18

He walked into the ballroom and rushed to Charles i was following behind him.

"Why'd you make her cry?"

Charles laughed "I suggest you to walk away."

"Or what?" James asked pushing Charles.

"You'll hit me?"

"Banish me?"

"Execute me?"

I grabbed James hand "James please don't do this. Walk away please." I begged.

Luckily no one was really paying attention. James looked at me.

"Come on. Let's walk away before you make a scene." I said lowly.

I took his arm and we walked out of the ballroom. I sat him on a chair outside on the balcony.

"Why did you do that?" I asked.

"I don't know. You make me feel this way where i have to-"

"Stop." I whispered as he got close to me.

"Why?"

"We can't. I won't." I said getting away from him.

"Katherine."

I shook my head and ran away.

————————————————————————————

I was once again awoken by a nightmare. I sat up in my bed and looked around. I curled up in bed crying.

My red hair fell in my face. I moved it out of my way.

I crawled out of bed.

I knocked on the room door and it was answered.

"Oh sweetheart." Brida said letting me in.

"I'm i- I couldn't sleep." She shook her head.

"No, it's okay." She hugged me and i cried in her arms.

She hummed a little tune.

Charles pov

I had just finished with Diane she was laying in my bed.

The door opened and Diane yelped.

My aunt looked at her and crossed her arms. She picked Diane's clothes up and handed it to her.

"Leave now!" Diane ran out. I laughed.

"How dare you! Making Katherine cry." I sighed.

"Why is everyone attacking me about that."

"Because She's a nice girl and you don't make nice girls cry. So apologize." She said.

I nodded.

"Who is everyone?"

"Huh?"

"You said everyone was attacking you."

"Oh yes. James." I said.

"James? Why didn't anyone tell me he was back?" I shrugged.

"No one told me neither. I had to find out."

She nodded. She looked a little uneasy.

"Is everything okay Aunt?"

"Yes it's fine. Apologize." And with that she walked out of my room.

I was kinda harsh to her, but I can't let her know that i care for her because I'll only hurt her more.

I walked out of my room and walked to her room. I knocked on it and there was no answer, the door soon swung open and it was a servant she bowed.

"Your majesty the queen is taking her bath." She said.

I nodded.

I walked into the room closing the door, I pushed the bathroom door open.

"Lola we might have to try a different remedy because I still have night terrors and I haven't slept in the past two days." She said thinking I was Lola.

She's having night terrors still? Why?

She turned around in the tub and jumped when she saw me.

"Charles?"

"Why are you having night terrors?" She shrugged.

"It's nothing really." I kneeled down in front of the tub.

"Don't lie to me what is it."

She didn't say anything.

"Is it Noah?" I asked.

"Is it your father?"

This next thing will pain me to say but i have to know.

"Is it me?" I asked trying to hold back the tear that i was afraid of falling.

She looked up and grabbed my hand.

"No......"

I was glad that it wasn't me but if it isn't then who is it?

"It's memories." She said.

"What kind?" I asked.

"I'd rather not say." I nodded and saw that she was holding my hand. As great as this felt I can't let her love me.

I grabbed my hand back and stood up.

"I'll see to it that we get that checked out." She nodded. I sighed.

"You need to stay away from James." I said.

"Why?"

"Because- Because i am your king and I'm telling you to." I ordered.

She sat her head on her knees and shook her head. She looked so unhappy.

"Of course because god forbid me having any friends right? First Kinely and now him. I feel-" she stopped and closed her eyes like she was trying to push something back.

"He's dangerous Katherine. Me and him have been fighting this battle for a while. He wants everything that i have! I don't trust him around you that's all." She didn't say anything.

I stood up.

"Who is he to you?" She asked.

"He's........ my mother's brother." She gasped.

"He wants my spot and I won't let him have it."

She nodded and I walked out and came face to face with James.
