Chapter 30 ( I trust you )

it was almost midnight. I stood in front of Amelia's door holding the box, I didn't know if I could face her, she saw me leave the part and Ella said Rowan was getting drunk and I am sure she witnessed it too. I gave the door a slight knock and not long the door opened and that familiar smallish girl was standing in front of me, her maid

" Lady Natalia" surprised to see me " what brings you here at this hour," she asked with her tiny voice

" hmm" I began " What about Amelia?" looking through the door with hopes to find her but I failed

" oh, the princess is asleep," she said and I was relieved at least I did not have to face her tonight

" ok " I handed the box over to the maid " give this to her will you, tell her it's from me " the maid took it and with that, I left

I was heading to my room when I thought of Luna, I needed to speak to her, I need her advice urgently. as I got to my room I locked the door to avoid interruption and just as I turned I almost died out of shock when I saw Luna sitting on my bed watching me " Oh shit " I said out loud " stop doing that "

" my apologies," she said politely with a heartwarming smile and I could not sit upset with her

" it's fine, what are you doing here," I asked wondering why she was here when I haven't even called her

" you wanted to talk to me," she said with an eyebrow raised

" But I didn't call you, Never mind," I said changing the topic " I need your help, I am making a mess like I always do and I fear that I may not be able to complete my mission "

" Why do you say it's a mess " I could not believe she asked that

" Rowan is in love with me " I raised my voice

" well that's not a mess, you also love him"

" it is not supposed to happen this way " I complained

" but it's your destiny" I was shocked at her words

" what do you mean it's my destiny," I asked with confusion in my tone

" you and Rowan were destined to build Bengland together " she explained

" no, no you said I was to save Bengland you didn't mention Rowan " I reminded her about our first meeting

" but doing that you have to make sure Rowan is king and you will be by his side " I frowned at her words

" you didn't tell me any of this " I took a step forward

" because you did not let me, you turned it down and the thing about destiny is that you do not run from it you face it, it is stuck with you and the decisions you make tell the end" she stood up " you may think you are messing things up but you are not, because of you for the first time Rowan wants to be king, you have given he the strength to believe he can be king "

" I want him to be king but not fall in love with me," I said my main point " I am going to leave him at the end don't you get it "

" that is up to you," she said

" what do you mean that is up to me, what about my mom... you said if..." she cut me off with the most shocking new

" if you succeed she will be alive but your real mother is dead "

" what?"

" your real mother is dead Natalia, there are a lot of things about yourself that you don't know and only if you face your destiny will you find out " for the first time Luna raised her and it was scary " it is not my place to tell you this Natalia, I have already broken the law by telling you this and this is as far as I can say " there was a long silence between us

" My real mother is dead " I managed to say

" yes. I have to go now, and this may be the last time I come to you "

" but Wh..." before I could finish my question she was gone, I didn't even get to ask her about my blood and I just found out my real mother was dead. will my life get any more messed up?

*********************************************

the next morning Ella came to prepare me for the day early and brought my breakfast. it was a full chicken for breakfast, she said it was to cheer me up and it worked. with no time I dissolved the entire chicken, Emma was taken aback by this, she look at me and I could see the shock in her eyes " what!?"

" you fished an entire chicken on your own?" she asked pointing to the plate

" well you said it was for me " I defended

" you never cease to amaze me, Natalie," she said going back to dressing my bed

we were both interrupted by a slight knock on the door " who is it " I asked and my heartbeat stopped for a second the moment I heard that voice

" It is I, Rowan " I looked at Ella who smiled at me before walking to the door, I stood up as last night's events played in my head and I began to panic

Rowan's POV

I stood in front of her door waiting for it to open. I can't want to stay away from her even if she rejected me, I wanted to but I can't, she was like a magnet that pulls me to her. the door opened and her maid was standing before me

" Your Highness," she greeted

" where is..." before I finished I sported her standing next to her table, my eyes fell on the table and I saw the empty plate with a full chicken bone on it. immediately stood in front blocking the view and I could not stop myself from smiling

" Good Morning" I heard her beautiful voice, she sounds a little nervous

" Morning" I replied

" wh..what brings you here " indeed she was nervous

" We cut the maid," I said

" oh really, ok that is good"

" do you want to come with me to question her?" I saw the shock in her eyes which was later replaced with excitement

" are you f*****g for real, Yes," she said running in my direction immediately I made way for her to come out when she was out she turned to Ea and said " I will see you later" Ella nodded in response

I lead the way with Natalia behind me, there was an awkward silence between us as we walked. I wanted to kill the silence but I didn't know how most of the time Natalia do the talking but this time she was quiet and it was killing me inside, why was she not saying anything? was she uncomfortable?. I know we had an issue last night but I didn't like this.

I took several turns and stairs, and so did she. we were about to take our last turn when she yelled out of frustration

" Ok that's it " I turned a saw she had stopped walking and I stopped as well

" what?"
