Your POV
I couldn't keep my eyes from staring out the tiny window at the people who were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The maids behind me were tying my corset, and getting me ready for high tea. I hadn't particularly wanted to go to the tea party, but I wanted to go for Anne and my mother. I held onto the post as they tightly laced my corset.
"How are we this morning", Anne sang as she entered my room.
"Doing good Anne, I'm almost ready I swear", I said gadfly not wanting to think I was purposely taking my time.
"Don't worry sweetheart, I was just coming to see how you are doing from the whole Jasmine thing", Anne asked.
"I don't quite know what happened between Harry and Jasmine, but I just want this to work out between Harry and I, I just don't want any problems", I said honestly facing Anne.
"I understand sweetie, I promise I'll talk to her. I know she was acting inappropriate last night, I just hope she doesn't act that way today. This is supposed to be a nice tea day, a day for our family to get to know you", Anne cupped my face.
"I hope they like me", I sighed.
"They do sweetheart, they wouldn't stop raving about you last night. Trust me, they already do", she smiled.
"I'll let you finish getting ready, I'll see you down there soon", Anne kissed my cheeks before leaving my room.
I turned around once again while the maids helped me out on my dress. I kept closing my eyes and tried to calm my busy mind.
"You look stunning", I gasped hearing a voice causing me to turn around quickly.
"Harry, you scared me", I breathed.
"I'm sorry but I meant to talk to you last night about Jasmine and I, but I figured we were both so tired from last night", he rambled on.
"You want to talk now Harry? I'm kind of getting ready for tea time", I giggled at him.
"Tonight then? I just don't want you to think I don't care about you or this situation. I just want you to be able to trust me", he came over to me and grabbed my hands.
"I can wait till tonight, I promise Harry. After tea, we can talk about everything. You can tell me whatever you need", I leant over and kissed his cheek.

"Damn, this place is something else", Claire whispered as she touched the center piece and the beautiful name card.
"I know, it's beautiful isn't it", I said energetically.
"Shh, too loud", she shushed me and rubbed her forehead.
"Hungover ehh", I giggled at her.
"I couldn't help it, they have damn good alcohol here and Harry's friend Evan wasn't too bad either", she winked at me.
I giggled but then stayed silent when I saw her make her way into the small dinning area. Her eyes met mine and I held her gaze as she made her way towards the back. I couldn't help to laugh in my head to the fact that she was sat in the back as if she was an unwanted quest and here I was with Claire sitting in the head table.
"Thank you coming ladies, for coming to our annual high tea. This year we have a special quest this year and hopefully more years to come. Please do me the honor in helping me introduce Y/n, my son Prince Harry's betrothed and future queen", Anne had me stand up and clapped along with the other ladies.
"Alright ladies, let the tea begin", she clapped.
"Excuse me ladies, I'm going to the ladies room", I excused myself to head to the restroom.
I gently placed my napkin next to my plate and gently got up from my spot to head to be restroom. Once I was done handling my business I headed to the sink to wash, I looked in the mirror and saw her. I could feel her eyes scan me as I looked back at her. We finished and went to go dry my hands.
"So, you're the replacement", she scoffed at me as I stood there dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry", I looked at her confused.
"You think you can walk in here and steal my crown and my time to be queen. You have another thing coming sweets", She looked at me evilly.
"Jasmine, let's move on from this. I'm sorry things didn't work our between you and Harry, but let's just go back to tea and have a nice time", I tried to reason with her calmly.
"Nah. I'm not ready to go back to have tea, I'm thinking we're in this big bathroom we should just handle this now", the next thing I knew I was on the floor.
That's when I realize she had pushed me down.
I had never been in a fight in my life. When I went to my boarding and charm school I was told it was improper. Barbaric even. So I wondered why this girl whom I'm sure had went to the same kind of school felt it was appropriate to fight me for no good reason. I looked up at her wondering if I should defend myself or not.
"What. Not so big and tough now huh", she spat at me.
"Please let's just go back out there and enjoy the party. Please don't do this", I picked myself off the floor with my hands out in defense as I tried to reason with this unpredictable girl.
"I said no!!!!!", she yelled as she swung at me.
"Jasmine stop!!", I yelled as I ducked and tried to run away.
"No!! I think it's better if I kill you and take the crown for myself", she yelled as she pushed me with all her might.
I flew face first into the sink. I managed to bring my arms out in front of me to somewhat block my blow. I fell to the ground, I groaned as I rolled over to my front and tried to pick myself up. I could feel liquid trickle down from somewhere and I had hoped that the damage to my face wasn't that bad.
"Oh look, my future queen bleeds", she mocked me.
"Please just leave me alone", I whimpered and made my way to the door.
"No!!! Not until I'm queen!!", she screamed and pulled me by my hair away from the door and knocked me back onto the ground.
I felt her kick me in the ribs causing me to loose my breath. I let out another scream as she kicked me in the ribs again. I tried to crawl towards the bathroom door once again to escape, but Jasmine pulled me back by my leg. She flipped me over and her fist met my face twice. I guess I had been screaming out pretty loud because the next thing I knew Jasmine was being pulled off me.
"What's going on here? Jasmine what's going on here? What's the matter with you?! Oh my god, Y/n are you ok?!", I heard someone run over to me and kneel next to me.
"Mum!! What's going on?! Where's Y/n?!", I could hear Harry's voice as he pushed his way through the crowd.
"Jesus christ, Y/n!! Mum what happened?!!", I felt Harry lift me into his lap..
"Harry, help me", I whimpered in pain.
"Shhh baby girl. I'm here now. I'll take care of you," Harry scooped my body into his arms and lifted me up.
"Where's my daughter?!! Oh my god?!! Y/n!!," I heard my mom gasp out.
"Mrs. Y/l/n, I'll take care of her. Go to my mum and call a doctor", I heard him tell my mom.
"Don't worry love, you're going to be ok."
