Theo rushes to my side and kneels down and grabs my arms, trying to tell me to look at him

My breathing has fastened and I feel like I'm going to pass out at any second

He takes my hand and puts in on his chest

"Shh my darling, breathe with me, breathe with me." He tried to soothe me

Tears fall from my eyes and then everything goes black

************************

"When she will awake?" I hear Theo's voice, it sounded impatient and worried

"Soon, your majesty. Give her time." I hear an older woman's voice come from beside me

I feel shifting and then someone grabs my hand 

I hear Theo's voice come from the side of me

"I love you sweetheart." His voice cracks at the end

I remember the guard coming in and telling Theo and I about Algeria being invaded by France. Is my father alright? What are they doing to my people? 

Wake up Yasmine.

Wake up!

I open my eyes and sit up within three seconds

Tears roll down my cheeks and look over at Theo

"Darling, darling lay back down. You need to rest." Theo says to me trying to push me back down gently

I shake my head and push his hands away

"How long have I been asleep?" I ask the older woman who was looking at me with a surprised face

"Three days your majesty." She answers

"King Theo hasn't left your side for a moment, I tried to tell him to go rest and that I would take care of you. But, he wouldn't eat or drink." She tells me, smiling down at me

I look over at Theo, who was looking at me

I try to smile and place my hand on cheek and stroke it

He closes his eyes for a second then opens them and smiles at me sadly

"What has happened with my country?" I ask, standing

Theo stands with me and grabs my hand

"France has indeed invaded and a few of your people have been killed, but Sofian, your father is unharmed."

I should be relived that my father is alright but all I feel is anger, the people of my country have been harmed and that is not/never okay.

Theo reads the look on my face and says "Francis, King Of France should be arriving any minute, we can persuade him to take his men back." 

I nod "I'll try to not to take his head off of his body."

******************************

Theo and I are waiting in the ballroom when a guard comes in and says 

"Your majesties, I present Francis King Of France to you."

He walks in and to be completly honest I was surprised at his apparence

He was tall and fair with blonde hair and blue eyes (toby regbo)

He smirks at me and bows his head

"Your majesties, it's a pleasure to be in your company." He looks at Theo and I

Anger boils in my veins and I can't keep my mouth shut

"How dare you kill my people and invade my country and even have the nerves to look me in the eyes." 

He smiles at me and his smile makes chills run up my spine

"Yasmine, if all you want me to show any mercy at all I suggest you watch your tongue."

"That's enough." Theo looks at us both "Lets get down to buisness."

Francis nods and takes a seat at the large table

I sit down next to Theo and keep my hands in my lap

"Now, Francis what is it that you'd like? Name anything and it shall be yours if you call off the invasion in Algeria." Theo speaks in a strong tone

"Theo it is not a something I want, it's a someone.

Theo looks at me, confusion in both our eyes

"And that someone is?"  Theo asks narrowing his eyes a little but too show that he wasn't afraid of Francis

"Yasmine."
