We were busy preparing for the coronation. I was in my dressing room after taking a bath, sitting in front of my vanity mirror.
I took a deep breath and continued to brush my hair. I stared at myself in the mirror, remembering what I did a few hours ago.
I was running through the palace halls looking for someone that could help me. Someone that I could trust and was willing to risk everything for the royal family.
I suddenly thought of that person. I ran with all my strength as fast as I could. We needed to make this done before the ceremony.
As I was running around, looking for that person, I suddenly bumped into someone and fell on the floor. My butt hurts from falling but I was more nervous from being discovered. I hugged the things I was holding, trying to hide them from the person who bumped me.
"Princess!" It was the voice of a man.
When I looked at who it was, it was actually the person I was looking for.
I didn't say a word, stood up and grabbed his wrist, pulling him inside in one of the rooms. I looked around to check if there's someone other than the two of us.
"Princess, what are you doing? You seem in a rush. What's happening?" He asked.
I walked towards him and held him by the shoulders.
"Are you a loyal subject of the crown prince?" I asked in a firm voice.
He frowned, confusion was all over his face.
"Princess, I can't understand why you are asking me that. But my answer is yes, I am. I am devoted to the crown prince. Our family served your mother when she was still alive. She was the reason our family was living a better life until now."
He explained. I looked into his eyes and saw that he was sincere from all the words he said.
"I have a favor to ask. No, more like an order. A royal command." I said.
He then kneeled in front of me.
"I am at your disposal, your highness." He answered.
I crouched down to tell him the plan.
"I need you to write down the statement of appointing a crown prince." I started.
He tilted his head to level mine, shocked by what I said.
"Y-Your Highness! T-This is -"
"We don't have time. I need you to do this in secrecy. There will be an attack in the palace tonight. It's either before or after my brother ascended the throne. You know that he doesn't have an heir yet. The Mafia will wage war against us and will try to take the throne. Before it happens, we need to have an heir in secret. Whatever happens to me and my brother, the next heir should be safe. They won't be able to hurt anyone inside the palace either if no one knows who holds the secret. After writing, give it to someone who you trust outside the palace. I need you to think carefully of your decision when choosing someone." I continued.
"B-But who would be the next heir?" He asked.
I didn't really know who it would be or if my plan would be a success. I was merely relying on the loyalty of the people who could possibly help us.
"You know all the members of the royal family, right? Choose one of them. I will let you decide. I know this is a difficult task but the future of Flousia depends on your decision. You should choose someone once I leave. The only person that should know about this is you. You should leave the palace once you have decided and look for the person who you will entrust this to."
He didn't say a word. He was still dumbfounded from everything he just heard.
"Answer me!" I yelled.
"Y-Yes! Your highness!" He answered
"Remember, this meeting has never happened. I will leave the future of Flousia in your hands." I said my final speech and left.
I was hoping that he would choose the right person. I didn't know what happened after our meeting. If he successfully got out of the palace and did everything I told him.
Only two hours left before the ceremony. The preparations in the throne room have been completed. The royal guards were positioned and ready from any attack. The men under A.E Security have been dispatched and scattered everywhere in the palace. Some are dressed in either formal or casual clothings. Some were disguised as guests and servants of the palace.
My father's men were also on standby. They were hiding in the secret chamber just next to the throne room. There was actually a hidden door behind the King's throne. It was made so that in case an attack happened, the King could hide in there. The door could be opened from whoever was inside but could only be opened by a special key from the outside.
The key was designed by my great grandfather. It can be formed by two pendants that belong to the King itself. We decided to separate the pendants and gave them to someone that no one could suspect.
Once father and his men came out, me, the girls and the kids would be hiding inside. At first, we asked Kyle to hide but he didn't agree, saying that he would never run away from his enemies
I sighed deeply, curling my lips.
"You're thinking something again. Are you okay?" It was Jayden who asked.
I didn't notice that he was already inside the room. I looked at him and he was standing behind me. I turned my eyes to the mirror, looking at the reflection of us.
"We really look good together, right?" I asked instead of answering him.
I don't want to talk about what will happen later. I just wanted to have a quiet and peaceful time with him.
"We are." He simply answered.
He was wearing a white long sleeves folded in half, showing off his muscled arms. Three of his buttons were opened, exposing his chest. His blonde hair was quite long already so it was ponytailed in half.
He suddenly kneeled on my side, making me turn to him. He held my hand, kissing the back of it. Then he looked at me and smiled.
"Will you dance with me, love?" He asked.
I giggled and nodded at him.
"Of course, my love. I would be delighted to dance with you." I answered, smiling back at me.
He stood up, pulling me gently. I also stood up and followed him in the center of the dressing room.
I felt his hands slowly brushing around my waist while I wrapped my hands around his neck. He pulled me closer to him, leaning on each other's forehead.
Even without music, we started dancing slowly gliding our feet on the sides. We were staring at each other's eyes and couldn't find the right words to say.
I have a lot of things that I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him how much I love him and how much happiness he was giving me until now. I wanted him to know that I have never once regretted meeting him, that meeting him was the thing I am most thankful of. Without him, I would never have Caden and our unborn child. If it's not for him, I would never have experienced the joy of being loved and being in love.
I said those words in silence. Telling him that, it seemed like I was saying goodbye to him.
He wasn't saying anything either. I wanted to ask him what's on his mind, but I didn't have the courage. We savored the moment and the time we had before the coronation.
I felt him tighten his arms around my waist then he pressed his lips into mine. His lips tasted cinnamon mixed with his warm breath.
I slightly parted my lips when I felt his tongue trying to slide inside my mouth. I felt his one hand brushing my thigh under my robe. I wasn't wearing any underwear since I just got out of the shower.
His kiss became rough and rushed. I know he was anxious. And I am the same. We couldn't change the fact that someone might get hurt today, or worse, die.
He then pushed me, slamming me against the door. I met his tongue with mine, and responded to his kisses. I moved my hands to his pants, unbuckled and unzipped them.
I grabbed his dick by putting my hand inside his underwear while he slightly opened my thighs with his knee. I felt him rubbing my clit before putting one finger inside me.
I moaned and gasped for some air when he moved his finger inside and out. When he pulled his finger away, I raised one of my legs, wrapping it around his waist.
I held on to his dick and brushed it against my wet entrance.. I moaned louder when he suddenly shoved his hardened flesh harder.
