Royal Blood, Royals Bound

3. Issues

"My name is Harold whats yours?" he asks taking a seat next to me his dimples distract me. "My name is Evangeline but you can call me Evan." I answer. Arent we supposed to..... hate eachother our family's hatred runs deep we shouldn't even be in the same house but I mean where else would we have meetings. "I know what your thinking." he suprises me by saying. "What?" I scoot over making more space inbetween us. "Why are we talking if our families hate each other." He gets it right taking a seat too close to me. I scoot over more making a huge gap inbetween us. "Yes you got it right." I say quietly. "Why so shy I wont bite you but only if you talk to me." he smirks and I feel tense. I pull my sleeves down so they can cover my wrists. "Your nails are imprsessively long and neat." he compliments scooching over. I dont even bother to move it makes no sense he just gets closer and closer everytime. "Thanks." I say playing with them Natalia had painted them red last week for the wedding yesterday her tricks and tips are massivly helpful especially how she help me curl my hair without burning myself up. "Look I hate being enemies with your amily its quite idiotic if no one knows the reason." he leans back using his hands to support his back. I thought I was the only one who wondered. "I tried asking one time an my mother slapped me across my face. I was so angry with her but I let it go after a while." he looks over at me with his evil smile planted on his face.
"Your too beautiful to be nenimiss with." he compliments making my cheeks go hot. "Harry what are you doing with that stupid girl!" I hear Betrice (Almikar's oldest daughter who despises me) yell. He quickly sits up snapping his neck to look. I was wondering why she wasnt at the table. "Don't think I forgot the time you stepped on my foot at the Neverson's ball." She crosses her arms. "The day you guys left me here sick?" Harold asks a little taken back. "Hush I wasnt talking to you I was talking to the half witted bitch! Next to you." she gets closer. "Go and wash your dirty mouth Betrice!" he half defends. Im in total shock an cannot seem to function. "Whats with the stupid look on your face?" she asks about to step on my foot when Harold flies out of his seat to push her defending me. My eyes widen and my jaw drops.
"You stupid! Do you like her!" she yells hold him on his shoulders as he does the same battling her and almost stumbling over. "And if i do!?" he suprises me by saying. "I am going to tell father you will be in so much trouble!" she runs off into the house. Harold turns to me. "There's not much time before they find out what I've just said. But can you please meet me midnight tonight at The Well of the Forgotten?" he askes. I snap in to functioning mode and without think i nod rapidly. "Well Ill see you later Ill have to leave this scene before they come out here and see us together." he says but its too late. "They who?" his dad booms with anger. "Katrina you cant fight with Madeline everytime we come here!" John and Katrina approach the dreadful scene distracting Almikar from scolding his son.
"She what!?" Almikar looks at John. "Yes, verbally and your daughter started it!" Katrina defends herself. "She should have beat you up." he growls. "What!?" Katrina gets mad starting to march toward Almikar when John grabs her arm holding her back. "Sir there's an altercation in the kitchen." Norman stucks his head out the door calmly saying. We all know what that means. Mother and Sabrina are fisting it.
We all run inside to see Sabrina and mother lashing it out. Sabrina's on top but mother manages to change that. "Split it up!" Almikar yells. As soon as his wife is on the bottom he wants it to end what a coward. Nobody moves so he does it himself flings mother off John catches her. "That wretch!" Sabrina screams.
"Wretch! Do not talk about my mother you stupid whore!" Katrina gets angry. "Do not call my wife a whore you stupid bitch!" Almikar yells back. Without thinking I slap Almikar. Everyone went to silence. I froze shocked at my actions. Almikar looked at me his face was an expression I couldnt find words for.
"Leave Now!" he yells, startling me. I left without a word not even waiting for the others.
I head straight for the carriage my mind is in a blurr and my body is definetly moving on its own. "What happened Princess?" Carter asks putting a hand on my shoulder.
I release the tears I didnt even realize I was holding in. I pulled into him crying. At first I didnt feel his hands but after a while he rubbed my back making me feel a little better. "Im so stupid." I rant. "No your not your beautiful...I love you, I mean I love that your smart and always looking at the better side of things." his words are like medicine to my ears.
"Did you hear me?" Carter asks still holding me. "Mhmm." I answer in his chest. I feel his chest go up and down his hearbeat going fifty miles per hour.
"Carter is she okay?" I hear John asks aproaching. Then there was silence I guess he nodded for an answer. "Why is your face red?" John asks. "It is? I guess because...its cold." he lies. He's blushing.
I sniffle wiping my nose with my sleeve and I let out of Carter's embrace. "Wheres mother and father?" I ask John. He doesnt answer but looks back.
