Finding Love In Royalty

Chapter 13

Louis and I decided not to go riding so I went back to my room and buzzed Shyanne. She came up a few moments later and saw me sat on the couch. "So how are the princes?" She asks.

"Technically only two of them are actually eligable." I say and put my head into my hands.

"What are you talking about?" She asks.

"Remember the other night, when Liam said he loves someone?" I ask her.

"Of course." She says.

"Well Zayn and Louis have someone back in their countries." I say looking up.

"Oh goodness Katy." She says and places our food in front of us and sits next to me. "Atleast your decision has become easier." Shy points out.

"Yes, but what is Niall and Harry have someone back in their countries too. Then father is going to have to pick for me, because I refuse to break two people up and I ruin a real relationship." I say looking down at my hands.

"Katy you are just going to have to ask them. That is the only way that you will find out." She says.

"But Shy, to a royal that is not dating a commoner being accused of it is a huge insult. I mean I understand it so well because you are my best friend. Not to mention I am just a very calm, kind and caring person." I say.

"I know sweetie. This is going to be very hard, and we all knew that from the beginning." Shy says putting her arms around my shoulders.

"You have a point." I say looking down.

"I know that you are under a lot of stress, but you need to take a deep breath because stress is very bad for you." She says.

"You are right. I just need to calm down. It is the only way that I will get through this." I say smiling at her.

"Good, now are you ready for lunch. One of the chefs thought you might like some tomato soup and a grilled cheese." She says.

"Chef thought right." I say smiling even wider.

"Good, here you are." Shy says passing me my food.

"What are you having?" I ask her.

"The exact same thing." She says smiling at me.

"How did you manage that?" I ask her.

"I told the chef that you were having a lunch date with a royal friend in your room." She says.

"Sneaky. I like it." I say smiling at her.

"I am glad that you approve." She says laughing with me.

"I am so glad that I have you with me." I say smiling at hugging her.

"It sucks that I will not be with you once your parents leave." She says looking away.

"What are you talking about?" I ask her.

"You know the tradition, when the new king and queen come in everyone gets fired." Shy says.

"Yes but that is only a tradition when it is a new family. When the next in line for the crown did not grow up in the palace." I say smiling at her.

"Wait so that means I get to stay?" She asks.

"Of course! Everyone is staying." I say smiling at her. "Why were you so worried about this?" I ask her.

"I am not the only one that was worried. Everyone is worried." She says.

"Well this afternoon you have to spread the good news. Also remember you can always come and talk to me." I say and pull her into a giant hug.

"I know. I really need to start remembering that." She says and we both laugh and eat our lunch. This is why I love having her around.
