Chapter Thirteen | British Beauty

And I feel life for the very first time.
Love in my arms and the sun in my eyes.
I feel safe in the 5 am light.
You carry my fears as the heavens set fire.
Technicolour Beat - Oh Wonder

Within a few seconds, Cèline arrived at her destination and she stepped out of the car and entered Buckingham Palace. She walked down the hall and up the stairsthen down another set of halls in silence and rounded the corner to find two men dressed in dark suits stand with their hands behind their backs.

The two men that flanked the door looked at Cèline and said, "Your Royal Highness..."

Cèline smiled at them and as she pushed her sunglasses onto the crown of her head and said, "Boys, Good to see you again." She gave the door two sharp knocks before pushing the door open and waltzing into the room.

She walked in to a brightly lit room and smiled at the person sitting on the bed. She sat down in the chair next to bed and silently waited for the person to turn his attention from the laptop to her.

"Grandpa, I thought retirement meant no work." Cèline said.

"I know, but does not mean I cannot check on things." He said.

"Granny, is going to have your head if she finds out." I said.

"Are you going to tell her?" He asked.

"No." I answered.

"Very well, what is the reason for your visit to see me?" He asked.

"Does there have to be a reason for a granddaughter to visit her favorite grandfather?" I replied.

"Cèline, what did you do?" He asked.

"I haven't done anything." I responded.

"Cèline." He said.

"Yes." I said.

"Is that an engagement ring?" He asked, grabbing my hand.

"Umm..."

"Cèline-"

"Yes, it is." I answered.

"Who?" He asked.

"King Demarco of Norland, he asked me to marry him a month ago." I replied.

"Oh Cèline, why haven't you told the family?" He asked.

"I kind of don't want to see their reactions." I answered.

"Oh Cèline, everyone will be happy for you." He said.

"Not my father." I said.

"He will just have to deal with it." He said.
