Royally Arranged

Chapter-26

I looked at him bewildered.

"Me!!!......what do you mean?" I asked him my mind still in shock.

Adrian sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Since there is no turning back now, I will let mom and dad explain it to you. They must be discussing it right now with your husband and his parents." He said and stood up offering me his hand.

I took it and we made our way to the parlor. The guards bowed once again and when we walked through the door the grave expressions on our parents' faces turned to surprised ones.

"Anna what are you doing here?" My father was the one to break the silence.

"She knows.....well not everything, but that its about her." Adrian answered with a sheepish expression on his face.

My mom glared at him.

Dad sighed.

"Well we were just about to discuss that, so you might as well take a seat." He said and I sat down on the empty space next to Kayton and Addy sat down on my other side.

"I want to know everything, don't hold anything back." I said.

My parents took a deep breath and began to explain.

"As Adrian might have already told you, some nobles have been causing some trouble. They were upset because of your marriage." Dad said.

"Why would they be upset about my marriage?" I asked him and glanced at Tony beside me. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were dark.

"They didn't like that you were married off to another country." My mom said.

I looked at them bewildered.

"What do you mean they didn't like that I was married off to another country? There's nothing to be upset about, I mean it would be understandable if I was the heir to the throne, but I am not and royals marrying people in other countries is not uncommon, I mean mom was the princess of Denmark." I said.

This time it was Adrian who spoke.

" It's not just about you marrying a prince from another country, the real reason is because you were fancied by many, and I mean many. Nobles and princes from all around the world, not just Scotland. We even had the royal families Russia, France and Italy approach us before, asking for your hand in marriage for their crown princes." He told me.

I noticed Kayton curl his hands into fists from my peripheral vision. But I wasn't focusing on it as my eyes went wide.

"You're lying! Because from what you all have told me a LOT of people wanted me to marry them or their children and if that was the case, why didn't I know that until now and even if what you said was true, why would they want me? I am nothing special." I said trying to make sense of the situation.

"They are not lying Anna, all those royals and nobles really wanted to marry you, your parents didn't want to worry you so you were kept in the dark." Uncle David was the one who answered.

"And as for the question why they would fancy you there are plenty of reasons. You're among the top 10 most beautiful women in the world and is the most beautiful princess in the world  right now. You're smart, kind, is liked by many people from all over the world  and an alliance with Scotland is a bonus." Aunt Kathryn said looking at me with a serious expression.

I had a stunned look on my face.

I opened my mouth to protest but sighed when I  didn't have anything to say.

"So what do we do now?" I asked them.

"We need to take extra security measures until everything calms down." Uncle David said.

"We are here to discuss how to keep you safe." My dad said.

"Everyone can leave, we both need to discuss something." Uncle David said and we took that as our cue to leave.

My mom and Aunt Kathryn went to the garden to have a chat and Adrian excused himself saying that he needs to take rest and retired to his room.

I was walking beside a silent Kayton as we made our way to our room.

I noticed that he hadn't uttered a single word when we were in the parlor and he still had a stormy expression on his face.

I closed the door behind me and approached Kayton who was standing in the middle of the room with his back to me.

I placed my hand on his back.

"Are you okay?" I asked softly.

He sighed and turned to me, his eyes softened when they saw me looking up at him.

He pulled me into a hug, wrapping his arms around my waist and shoulders and resting his chin on my head.

I too wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back tightly.

"I am fine, or atleast I will be." He said.

"I just....I don't want anyone to take you away from me and the thought of you marrying someone else is....." He trailed off.

I understood what he meant and buried my face into his chest.

"It's fine, I understand how you must have felt. And just the thought of marrying someone else is maddening for me." I said.

"I am never going to do that, because you are the one I want to spend my life with." I said looking up at him.

He smiled at me.

"I love you." Tony whispered lowering his head to my level.

"I love you too." I whispered back with a smile just before he captured my lips in a kiss.
