I'm not the one, your highness

2. A walk by my side

Harry was startled when he woke up to someone knocking on his door in the middle of the night, he didn't expect much of it. Probably someone who would like to apologize for their loss but it won't happen or someone who is saying the same words everyone is saying, But Harry is more than shocked that when he opens the door and sees Louis

"Lo-" he stops and looks around

"It's just me" he chuckles and Harry nods and notices how red Louis' eyes are and Louis is avoiding eye contact and taking multiple deep breaths

"Is everything alright? Would you like to come in?"

"No... my answer to both questions" he shakes his head "walk the shoreline with me" Louis says hesitantly and Harry nods softly smiling

Louis eyes Harry for a moment, he didn't know men could wear silk night gowns and look more angelic than women

Now he does

>>>>

They were walking and Louis kept his gaze on the floor, suddenly feeling insecure. He always talked to Harry about everything, but he can't tell Harry that he might be the reason behind him going to war and probably dying.

Harry's father served more years in the army than He spent time with Harry himself, Harry's father died when Harry was 13, and Harry's father has been in the Army when since he was 20 till he was 40 something

"I might be forced into an arranged marriage" Louis blurts out and Harry stops wide eyed and looks at him

"Oh.... what's the occasion"

"If I don't, I might start a war... and the last war we went into, we lost many. But an arrange marriage..."

"Isn't at all what you dreamt off, you always wanted to get married out of love" Harry says and Louis looks at him for a moment before he nods

"Yeah. Yeah I do"

>>>>

"Mr. Cowell" the king greets as Mr. Cowell and his daughter take a bow

"Mark, lovely to see you" Simon says with a smirk

"Wipe that look off your face" Mark says with a scowl

Simon rolls his eyes and puts his hands behind his back "where is he?"

"Not sure, out" the king shrugs

"What do you mean you're not sure, do you not make sure about all of his movements"

"He doesn't have to" they all turned to look at the door to see Zayn standing

"Ahhh Zack"

"It's Zayn" he said rolling his eyes "Louis is the future king, not a 5 year old. He's out, he'll be back once he feels like he has to"

"Thank you Zayn" the king says with a gentle smile and Zayn nods smiling

"Oh pish posh. We are here for him, so you either get him or-"

"You better respect my father" Louis' angry voice rang along the room and everyone turned to look at him

"Where were you boy? We've been been here for a while"

"I've been out. Future kings aren't I." Louis says taking off his coat and giving it to the servant and fixing his messy fringe "you will respect my father when you are on our grounds. You might have threatened us with war, but the price here for disrespecting the king is beheading... and so far, not the king nor the future king are feeling it with you"

"Control him" Simon said gritting his teeth and looking at Mark

"He's right" he said linking his fingers on the table
