Rowan's POV
Walking Down the hallway think about what Conrad and my father said. There was one thing I feared the most, War. I wasn't scared that Bengland will lose, I feared the life that will be lost and I fear that is where we are heading
" it won't happen" I was suddenly interrupted by Eric who have been walking beside me all this while
" pardon" I turn my head to look at him with an eyebrow raised
" I know what you are thinking but it will not happen, I hope " he spoke honestly " maybe we are just going to France to investigate as he said, nothing more "
" There is always something more Eric," I said " Look Bengland is enemies with a lot of countries, we can maintain Friendship with France and I can't let us ruin it because of gold. Especially now that the crown prince just because king, he is young like me and can be angered every easily
"When you say it that way, it sounds less important. Remember they stole from Bengland, it is something the king won't take likely"
" I know" I could hear the frustration in my tone "I don't get why I feel there is something more, a hidden story and I need to find out what is " thinking deeply
" is that why we are heading to Natalia's room " I stopped walking the moment those words came out of his mouth so did he. He was right, I was going to Natalia's room for no reason
" I didn't realize "
" well obviously you didn't," he said in a low tone
Standing a few feet away from Natalia's room door. The door suddenly opens and her maid walked out with clothes in her hand, walking in the other direction she didn't notice our presence . not long after Natalia came out in a hurry wearing only her undergarments
" hey come back you still have to explain " standing in front of her room door facing the direction her maid went, she didn't notice our presence as well. Just by looking at her, I forgot all that was bothering me. She turned and was not expecting to see us " hey, I did not expect you two to be here" she smiled, she seemed very comfortable standing in front of us wearing her undergarment and I looked at Eric who stood comfortably and I knew he couldn't see what I was seeing. Her garment was not transparent but I could see through. Ever since I turned eight, my father began to train me, we trained me to listen and watch, see clearly before I act resulting in an extraordinary sight and right now I could see her, her perfect figure, the size of her ass and breast, she was beautiful. It took me a lot to remain in control " are you alright " she asked. I took a dip breath and replied
" Why are you in your undergarment "
" this?" Looking down at her dress and back at me " well I just took off the clothes I wore earlier, Ella just left to get me fresh ones " she explained
" then why are you out of your room, " I asked with an eyebrow raised
" well, Ella said that you and I...." She instantly stopped. I could see that she did not want me to know that piece of information and I wasn't going to force it " never mind, what is wrong with it, it covers me perfectly" she said and I smiled
" really?" I asked and she nodded. I walked up to her covering the space between us, she raised her head to look at me. Leaning closer so close that we could feel each other's breath she was about to take a step back but I stopped her, with my arms wrapped around her waist pulling her closer, her body met mine with her hands on my chest, her eyes were wide open and her breath was heavy. I felt her breasts against my chest and a sudden rising heat between us. I felt like never letting her go
" w..wh..what are you...doing " she managed to say
" I can see through your dress " she was in shock. I lean down to her ear and whispered " if I wasn't such a gentleman I would have you for dinner" her breath got heavier " I would rip this garment knowing exactly what's underneath "
" Ro..wan. Eric is watching" her voice was low
" well, he can't hear us, even if he could there is nothing he can do " I smile, knowing I made her nervous, it was the first time seeing her that way. I finally let her go even if I didn't want to, she took a step back immediately and she looked cute as she blushed
" I hate you " she whispered and I smiled
' I love you ' I thought to myself
" don't walk around with that again even your nightdress," I said remembering the other night " Eric let's go " Eric and I took off leaving her behind
Natalia's POV
I ran into my room, closing the door behind me. Breathing heavily with my hand on my chest " what the fuck just happened" remembering the whole event" no, no, no, stop thinking about it you can't fall for something like that " shaking my head and slapping my face " Don't tell me it's transparent" looking down at my dress " oh God, what did he see, but Ella never said it was transparent or was he just messing with me " closing my eyes and taking a deep breath " it is not transparent and he saw nothing " I whispered to myself " wait, does Rowan have feelings for me " my heartbeat increased at the thought of it " no, no he doesn't" taking a d deep breath again " he doesn't, what if Ella was telling the truth, he was falling in love with me, I can't let that happen thing will get complicated " thinking will deeply while walking to my bed. I suddenly bump into the bucket of water Emma left in my room and landed on the floor" shit " I yelled " ah " a gasp escape my lips as I felt my body socked, water was all over the place " fuck it " I sat up looking around me " great, there is never a day I don't mess things you "I scold myself
I suddenly felt pain in my elbow and I was such I injured myself. lifting my left hand to see the injury I was taken aback by what I saw " holy shit " my blood " what the hell is this " my blood wasn't red anymore, it was gold in colour, I watched in fear as something crazier happened, it began to heal itself " what the hell" I whispered in horror " what is happening to me?
" What happened here?" Ella suddenly interrupted, immediately I hide the injury because I had no explanation for what just happened
' Sorry, I fell " I said. Watching her walk up to my bed to keep my clothes she then came to help me up
" Are you alright?" She asked worriedly
"I'm fine " I replied but she still scanned me for injuries. She lifted my left hand to check and the injury was already gone " you see am fine "
" you need to be careful Natalia, you are a lady," she said and I rolled my eyes at her words
" I know " thinking to myself, I now have a bigger problem, why was my blood gold and how did I heal so fast
Rowan's POV
Walking into my room with Eric behind. The moment he closed the door I turned to him
" what is it," I asked he has been quiet for too long and it made me uncomfortable
" what?"
" you've been quiet for too long, if you want to say something say it "
He looked at me for a very long time " find " throwing his hands in the air " you are in love with Natalia" I rolled my eyes at his words
" yes I am, so "
" wow, a few days ago you liked her now you are in love with her, isn't it too fast "
" I know it is but I have never felt this way for anyone before, it is exciting and the thought of her makes me happy and when I held her earlier I didn't want to let go. I feel a need for her around, I feel comfortable with her and I... " I stopped realising that I wanted her, I wanted Natalia so bad, I wanted her to be mine
" you found her, you found your Queen" Eric completed the words for me
" yeah " I looked at him and saw the bright smile on his face and I smiled back " I found her "
" Does she feel the same " he suddenly asked the most important question, did she feel the same
" I don't know" I had no idea, I felt that she did but I wasn't sure, I had to find out, and I knew who exactly can help me. Amelia " but I can find out "
" how " he had curiosity in his tone
" Amelia"
