Beautiful Bastard [H.S]

10•Threats are just Bad Promises

Harry's pov

I watched the Queen sleep she looked unhappy probably because she could only lay on her back so he foot wouldn't hurt

Her foot was still a vast majority purple and black specially her toes and the side of her foot near the bone she broke was still very very swollen

She suddenly sat up and rubbed her face she whimpered loudly "Majesty can I help?" She looked toward me

"Can you massage my foot please? it's aching terribly" I nodded I walked over and sat at her feet I tucked my gun into my blazer I set her foot on my thigh gently I started to move her toes they were very stiff she looked like she was in pain I tried to be tender with her

"Would you like some of the pain medication the doctor left for you? I can bring you a pill"

"No I haven't eaten so it eats my stomach and makes me sick" she groaned

I nodded struggling to remember where her cracked bone was I needed to avoid it by miles "I'm sorry this isn't in your job description" she added

"Well making personal attachments wasn't either but here we are" I mumbled

She twitched and fluttered her eyes "w-what? I-I thought you didn't wanna be my anything..."

"Well then your foot was broken and I witnessed you being pushed down the stairs by the man you 'married' I see why you need someone"

She looked like this hurt "am I hurting you? Is everything okay?" I stopped rubbing

"No no it hurts but it feels better than before"

I got up and set her foot down "I'm gunna get you food you have to take your medication"

"Harry you don't have to" she shook her head

"But I do" I patted her leg "I'll be right back majesty" I smiled and walked off as I stepped out I smiled to Dimitri who was posted outside her door

"She's alright?"

"Yes I'm getting her food so she can take her medication"

"Ah is her foot looking any better?" He frowned deeply

"No" I huffed

"Dammit she's never walking those stairs alone again she could have died I will hold her waist as we walk if my Queen died..." he covered his face "I don't know what the hell I'd do"

"I don't wanna think like that" I shook my head and walked off

I walked down through the dining room to the kitchen I froze at what I saw

Henry sat down in a chair at a table a large turkey wing in his hand and on his face with a naked women bouncing up and down in his lap his free hand on her chest

I felt sick I closed the door and ran I ran back up those stairs and Dimitri jumped "what? What is it?"

"The king h-he's... he's fucking another woman" Dimitri didn't look surprised

"I didn't know they came here this  late" I went wide eyed

"What?!"

"I thought it was only like in the evenings" he shrugged

"Y-you knew he fucked other women?"

"You didn't know that?"

My jaw dropped "that's not right! That's horrid! He's married he can't do that!"

"He's the king he can do whatever he likes" he didn't hesitate

"And the Queen?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows

"She can't do that she's with the King" he shook his head

I was shocked how was this okay how could he do this but have it so terrible if she did the same

I pushed passed him and into the room with her and walked to her bed side I dropped to my knees taking her hand "forgive me"

"What? Harry what's this about?" She sat up looking and sounding shocked but didn't take her hand back

I kissed her hand to show I meant it "you're right my Queen I apologize you told me of his wrongs I saw them first hand" I shook my head and closed my eyes tightly "I can't get you food the King was... layin' with another woman in the kitchen" I said it much more proper

I peeked my eyes open to at look her and she just looked emotionless "it's better her than me"

I couldn't agree with that more I squeezed her hand she looked down at me "Majesty here and now I pledge my loyalty to you and only you"

"Harry don't say that" she panicked

"My Queen I can't fathom having to lay down my life for a man who uses and abuses woman but for you... my Queen" I shook my head "anything"

"I'm glad someone finally understands me understands what I'm talking about at least but you can't let this be known Harry" she squeezed my hand back

"No no I'm no fool my Queen this is in secret for you and you only just know I will always protect you" I kissed her hand again I wanted to press my face against that soft caramel skin

"Thank you Harry that's very sweet of you now please stand just seeing you like that hurts my knees" she said kindly I stood up and she held my hand still

I swallowed looking at our connected hands

This is probably the most affectionate touch we've both had in a very very long time

"Harry t-tomorrow the King is having a council meeting he likes to... force himself on me after to relieve himself please... please stress to him I can't please" she actually started to tear up her pleas sounded so desperate

I do remember having to pull her from the shower because she was literally scolding herself just crying in there he touched her and she couldn't handle that

I nodded "yes of course my Queen I'll do my very best" she blinked tears free

"Thank you thank you" she pulled me closer and hugged me I stood stiff as a board before wrapping my arms around her I rubbed her back slowly as she cried

he was a source of so much of her trama it's sad she really hated his touch more than I could even start to grasp

can't say I blame her I stroked her hair her soft silken vanilla scented hair

I'd love to be buried in those luscious locks, to inhale her scent, and bake in her warmth

I quickly closed my eyes looking away

I can't think things like this I can't feel this way she is my queen

My ruler

My better
