The throne of lies

Chapter 9 The Aristocrats

Hannah

Gary locked the door and lay on the bed. Hannah put her head on his stomach. His perfect six pack that was always there no matter how much ice cream he ate. Gary stroked Hannah's brown hair not much darker than his own. She had took her hat off so Gary patted down the roots. Hannah got up slightly. She moved her head so it was next to Gary's. Five seconds later Gary turned on his side and used his fist and triceps to support his head. Hannah done the same. Gary curved his hand round the back on Hannah's head. Hannah shuffled closer so she could feel Gary's breath. Their noses slid past each other. Hannah wrapped her spare arm around his neck. They osculated. Gary loved the taste of Hannah's lips. In the big palace there's lots places to kiss in private. But with bodyguards watching you twenty-four seven moments like this were worth savouring.

Ross knocked violently on the door. "Your highness open this door this minute!"

Hannah pulled away from Gary. "What do you want Ross?"

"To make sure your not doing what I think you are!"

"Ugh does it have to be this second?"

"Your only furthering my suspensions my leige"

Hannah went to the door. While Gary picked up a controller and hurriedly put on his shirt. Ross, Johans, Irwin and Hemley were stood at the door like a prairie of meerkats. They were relieved to see the two royals fully clothed. "Problem Ross?" Hannah asked.

"None"

"Then shoo" Hannah gestured.

Irwin sighed "Can we come in?"

"All four of you?" Hannah didn't want one of them in never mind all four.

"Yeah" Hemley chimed in.

"Erm no" Hannah tried to shut the door.

Johans put his foot by between the door and the frame. "Sorry your highness we weren't asking"

"Says who?"

"Your dad" They all say in unison.

Hannah sighed. "Damn my father"

Hemley slapped the back of Hannah's head. "Hey!" Hannah snapped.

"Don't disrespect your father he does a lot for you" Hemley pushed Hannah out the way so she could get in the room

"Doesn't mean you have to hit me"

"Yeah but you a kid I want to take my rage out on"

Hannah didn't know how to respond. The rest if the guards poured in. Gary wasn't to pleased either. "Why must you be in the room with us?" Gary asked he was about to boil over. As he had been deprived of his privacy with Hannah.

"A lot of monarchs have been conceived in this palace but that doesn't mean it's a breeding ground"

Gary was couldn't believe his ears. " Do,Do you think me and Hannah are doing it?"

No one wanted to say yes even though that was the answer. Gary was always very touchy on the issue of women. Disrespecting Hannah or treating women like sex slaves was one of the many things that would make Gary explode in a fiery blaze. "…yes" Some guard muttered under their breath.

Gary combusted. The rage was beyond measurement. "You make us give it some nice private time then you accuse us of having sex get out! Just get out!" Gary yelled.

The four stood outside the door. "Dam aristocrats" Irwin leaned against the wall. "Why does our bosses have to be kids and why do we have to treat them with the utmost respect and we get barely any respect back" Irwin continued rambling he didn't care who heard.

"Irwin shut up they can hear you through the door" Hemley polished her pistol.

"I don't care they can listen in all they want-"

"Who are you talking about Irwin?" Edward had leaned in close so his head was just above Irwin's shoulder.

Irwin jumped out of his skin. "Erm…no one Edward. All good things all good things" He stuttered frantically.

"Really sounded to me like you were talking about my young Lord and her boyfriend were you not?"

"What no" His talking speed increased.

"Hmm for some reason I don't believe you"

"What why not Edward is, is it something I've, I've done wrong. Do you want to get rid of me or,or-"

"I doesn't matter if I believe you or not it's just I lack the power to punish you that severely"

Irwin breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew that's great. So out of curiosity who does have the power convict me"

"Me" Hannah stood in the doorway. The guards froze. Edward smirked. His young Lord had excellent timing. Irwin jumped. "You always have such impeccable timing your highness"

Edward bowed.

Hannah heard but didn't acknowledge Edward. The rest of the guards bowed as Edward did but Irwin got on his knees. He started kissing Hannah's boots. "You look beautiful as always your highness" He said through kisses. Hannah immediately pulled her boot away. "I heard everything you said Irwin. Trying to fill my ego with petty comments is futile"

Irwin stood up and bowed. Edward continued to smirk the guards always caused him grief and Hannah could get them kill with the flick of the wrist. He would never go to such lengths but the thought was terrifying and thrilling at the same time. "Aren't you going to defend yourself Irwin? Deny it? Beg for forgiveness?" Hannah kept the same emotionless look.

Irwin shook his head "I don't deny the truth"

Edward stared at him he was going to be canned, he could kiss this palace job goodbye.

"And somehow you completely deny everything around Edward"

Edward smiled. Hannah was very smart when it came to logical deductions. "Beautifully deducted my young Lord"

"Please its barely a deduction worth of praise. Aren't you going to explain yourself Irwin?"

"Edward is an adult you are a child"

The whole scene fell quiet. Irwin had denied royalties divine rights. A crime punishable by death.
