The Queen and Her King

Emotions and Immaturity

Brielle POV

We all made our way down the empty and eerie halls of Auradon Prep on our way to Audrey's room, Harry's protective and comforting arm wrapped around my waist the whole time. The way our footsteps echoed ever so slightly in the normally loud halls was intensely disturbing to me.

Everyone stayed pretty quiet during the walk, for comfort I leaned my head on Harry some as we walked to Audrey's room. I kept glancing up at him, I know he said he was starstruck by me which made my heart flutter, but I feel more starstruck by him at the moment. It might just be me, but watching him fight like that back there was breathtaking. He's just... he's stunning. I got quite entranced for a second, looking up at him with a loving gaze. He caught me in the act when he peered down at me before I could look away,

"What is it love?"

He asked once he realized I was staring at him. I could only giggle a little and smile like a complete idiot up at him,

"Nothing, just looking at your face"

I said with a giggle, Harry smiled and tilted his head some at me before leaning down and planting a soft kiss on the top of my head,

"Yer so cute~"

He quietly sang. I noticed Harriet and Uma eyeing me from the corner of my eye, but I didn't let it bother me. I got onto my tiptoes and planted a quick kiss on his jaw right as we got to Audrey's room. Mal went to open the door but of course, it was locked. Harry perked up and tossed his hook in his hand,

"Well don't mind if I do"

Harry said with a confident smirk, temporarily leaving my side and waltzing on up to the door and popping his hook into the lock and pressed his tear against the door to listen for the click. I watched him intently as I do, especially when he's all concentrated and such. After a few moments of concentration, Harry's lips upturned some and he took his hook back and turned the knob and opened the door to us all,

"Tada"

He proudly said, letting us all waltz into the room. I walked in last, allowing him to slide his arm all the way around my waist as I walked in and lightly tugged me into him, accompanying me as we walked on in,

"So, where's her diary?"

Mal asked once we all got in there, I went ahead and walked over to her bed, Harry now following me so close behind that he was brushing against me. I stood at the head of her bed and reached underneath her pillow and pulled out her diary and opened it in my hands,

"Tada"

I said myself once I pulled the diary out, making Harry chuckle a little bit. I flipped it to the most recent pages and began reading out loud to see her thoughts, but quickly I learned how Audrey really felt and stopped reading out loud. Specifically when she started talking about me and Harry. I turned the book away from his view and read in my head,

"And Brielle, ugh don't even get me started about Brielle! What does she see in Harry? Yeah, he's hot and good looking sure, but he's a PIRATE. A filthy pirate! He is the farthest away from a real prince that she could've possibly gotten and yet she fell for him? She refused to date when we were little, led Chad on for years and nothing. Within a few days of that pirate being here she's head over heels? I mean come on! A pirate over a prince? What sort of logic is that?

Besides, she's acting far too bold. Brielle is the Queen, she has to know to stay proper and to know her place, grandma always rambles on about how unprofessional she is. Grandma told me that Brielle normally talks more than Ben in council meetings and that the Queen should let the King speak first. How improper, if I were Ben's queen I would always let him have the spotlight, I at his side batting my lashes as grandma says.
