Royal Truths

He walked back and fourth in his room, expecting her. He didn't know what he would say to her or where to began ? She probably hated him but he loved her, loves her ; present tense.

"Sire-" someone interrupted.

"Yes ?" He said expectedly.

"Your guest is here." The guard said.

"Bring her up." He ordered and they nodded.

Lucia was angry, she was mad as a hatter, she was raging with anger, beyond ill-tempered. Who did he think he was ? ordering her around. What did he want from her ? she thought. These hormones were definitely adding fuel to her raging fire. She was adamant on getting him off her back for good. He was promised to Princess Amelia and him requesting her presence at the palace. People in her neighborhood would always start a conversation. This would create gossip and banters all around.

Lucia feared coming into the Kings Presence but to her surprise he wasn't there. Princess Amelia was not around either. Maybe it was the time at which the Prince had requested her presence.

Lucia was taken up the stairs and many more stairs, it was so confusing she wasn't sure if she would be able to make it back herself. She had always seen the official royal residence from a distance but she had never once entered inside. It was beyond beautiful, she was amazed by the aesthetic art painting on every wall in every corridor. Paintings of the Queen, she was beautiful, she wore her smile with pride. Alexius had definitely inherited his sapphire blue eyes from his mother, she had an elegant essence about her.

She purposely walked slow to prolong this meeting, the guards didn't mind as they pitied her pregnant self. Also because the Prince had told them to treat her like an egg, fragile and delicate. They didn't question his orders. Elias and Kyra were locked up on the South Wing doing whatever lovers did. The royal residence was so huge, you could stay for days without seeing the other person on the other wing of the palace.

She entered the room with a golden handle and silver lining. The guards let her go in alone as per order by the Prince. She looked around, he was pacing back and fourth... he had not seen her. In Lucia's judgement the whole east wing was enough distance and breadth to build three of their neighborhood houses. It finally dawned and wet on her that their lives were definitely a far cry from reality.

"Alexius !!" She said harshly immediately catching his attention. A smile made its way to his lips, she had called him Alexius that was a good start but that was only because she was too angry to give him his royal respect.

"Lucia ?" He replied out of breath, he wanted to hug her and squeeze her in his arms, he wanted to kiss her plump pink lips, he wanted to lift her petite body off the mahogany floors and shower her with kisses. Her skin was glowing, her bust was much bigger, it made him hungry so hungry for a climax. Her stomach was bigger than the last time he had seen her, there was no hiding anymore. She looked pregnant and beautiful but her face she scawled at him with distaste. They stood a few meters aways from each other until he slowly approached her and there wasn't any feet left between them. He could practically breath the air she was breathing-

"What do you want ?" She broke the silence. "My aunt will be very suspicious, everyone will be very suspicious as to why I'm here." She sighed. He just looked at her with adoration, he had not seen her sweet face in two months. Her face visited his mind more often than his sleep.

"I needed to see you, i can't stand this silence between us.." He said breathlessly as if he was relieved.

"You need to stop acting as if we are in this together-" she said avoiding his eyes that were begging for her to look at him. "I don't need anything from you, i mean we don't need anything from you." She said firmly.

"You are fifteen weeks now..." He said ignoring her assumptions. "Our son will be born in summer." He said excitedly. Something in her softened.

"You can't talk like that, you won't even see this child." She said looking away.

"I will be there every step of the way." He gave her a full blown out smile. It warmed her heart.

"From a distance." She said disappointed.

"This is my heir, I'm not going anywhere...Lucia." He said pulling her close to him. Her belly bumb made hard for him to pull her into his arms but it somehow made it known that it would always be the three of them.

"Don't get married." He said without a second thought. "I will marry Princess Amelia as soon as I am King, i will sort of everything out." He said with determination looking straight into her eyes unblinkingly.

"No !" She said pulling away from him.

"Lucia, don't tell me you are really taking this marriage with Khristian kid to heart ?" He said giving her a frustrated sigh.

"He cares about me." She responded without a doubt.

"I care about you." He said adamantly.

"Only behind closed doors, You denied me and this child infront of everyone now here you are following me at the river, ordering me at this time of the night-" She almost yelled. "I don't want this, i really don't want this hide and seek game."

"Of course you want to be Queen." He said nonchalantly.

"No ! I don't care about your titles. I just want to live an honest life far away from you and all this." She paused. "My life was never this complicated until I met you." She added accusingly.

"Fine Lucia, fine." He said. "Go ahead and marry Khristian, go ahead and bend down to living in poverty with someone who works at a factory. Go right ahead and give my child a life like yours."

"Atleast Khristian doesn't receive everything on a silver platter and there is nothing wrong with my life, i just hope my daughter doesn't meet a douchebag like you." She yelled back.

"Your life... Lucia. Let me spell it out for you, Your life is hell. As much as you try to make the best of it, your life is not worth living for." This really hurt Lucia. Her eyes were blurry by now, it hurt coming from him.

"Don't ever ever ever talk to me again or bring me here." She said firmly.

"Gladly." He replied. "Atleast i get to marry a Princess not a factory worker who earns peanuts, i wonder just how long it will take him to save up for so called Paris ? a decade most probably let's be realistic." He spat wanting to hurt her feelings.

He succeeded.

He always put a wall up whenever he felt threatened and this was him protecting his feeling first. "I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY, ALEXIUS." She said immediately turning her back to leave. He was bad with words, Jealousy got the best of him thinking about Khristian made him furious. Was he touching what was his ? Would she allow him to touch her while carrying a piece of him. This had gone wrong, he intended to tell her he loves her not hurt her.

He was bad with words.

He was horrible with words.

Now he had lost two most important people in his life.
