Can I trust you?
I was at loss for words!!
we stayed there staring at each other when we suddenly heard horses coming from behind...we turned and looked ....it was about 30 men riding their horses I didn't know what was going on.
I was astonished by the number that I couldn't even think of running...but I could see that Louis wasn't surprised...I was afraid...wait I know them too... those are important political figures from important places around the world!
they stopped in front of us and greeted us both...
"Queen Victoria...you've grown out to be a lot like your father! he joined us around your age." a gentleman said.
"we're sorry we couldn't get to contact you at the funeral we couldn't bare to stay by the previous King's side!" another man said.
"did you join us here today to officially join our justice organisation in place of the late royals?"
"your father was one of the main founders. he was about your age then. I knew you would seek justice through your life just as he did!"
you could see the pride in their looks and others looked at me in resentment while some looked like they didn't trust me.
those people cannot be in this together, right?
I had no other choice than heading back to the house with their company, I already knew a lot, I'm dead if I stayed I guess and I'm dead if I headed back to grandpa too.
we headed back and we all sat in the lounge room where we started discussing the illegal papers my grandfather signed and had the royal seal on them and all his illegal acts.
they also brought some other papers with them that proves that he is guilty, we were discussing the matter and how would it take to represent this matter to the elders. I felt they were taking deeper and hiding something in between, it was like they were discussing cutting his bloodline from the throne, something messy was going on!
I didn't say a word all this time and they were busy discussing the matter to even notice me.
time passed quickly and we decided to have a lunch break...some of them took naps, others went to the toilet and some enjoyed taking on other topics.
I headed to Amalie who was preparing lunch in the kitchen...she had a bandage on her head.
I walked toward her and she sensed my feeling of guilt.
"I'm sorry Amalie"
"my queen you've returned thank god!"
"show me how is it?" I walked forward.
"It's ok my queen,.... you're so much like your mother she hit your father once and we had to stitch his chest!" she laughed and continued preparing the food as if nothing has happened.
"I just feel a little bit dizzy"
"you knew my parents??"
"Of course, this is their house! my family served them here!"
King Louis entered the kitchen while Amalie said those words, I was really angry upon hearing this!
"you brought them here to my parent's house??" I sharply asked Louis.
"it's your father's plane from long ago I'm just fulfiling his will, it's the safest place! u didn't even know it exists!"
I headed out angry after hearing this!
how dare he say he knew my father better, everything about him makes me angry!
"wait I was going to tell u about this all!" he followed me.
"where is the room??"
"what room??"
"you know what I mean, I had the right to go there than anybody in here!"
"Okay, I didn't say anything..and pls keep it low, don't make a scene..no one knows about it!...it's down there. just follow me"
it was clear he was trying to clear the air before the gentlemen notice.
I followed him to an empty room with only paintings hanging on the walls, he closed the door behind us carefully making sure no one saw us, he took one of the paintings off the wall and opened the wall! and there were the stairs to the secret room!
...
"pls Queen Victoria open the door"
they kept knocking and calling!
"I am starting to get worried Victoria pls open the door!" aunt Portia shouted.
"guards break in!"
she ordered the guards.
"but the door is unbreakable!"
"find a solution! break the walls if you have to, do something the queen is in there!"
"don't let anyone enter this pavilion!"
she ordered the other guards and the maids.
"But prince Philip and the maids.. "
"no one enters!."
the guards brought some tools and they started to break the door and aunt Portia stood to watch, she was so nervous!
After a while, they managed to break the door and it was finally open!
"It's an open princess!"
she ran inside but she was astonished!
the stairs I didn't do anything about it!
but...she was just astonished that she didn't find me there everything else in the room was normal and the windows were open..but she just went to this spot! she looked at the totally fine ground that had just opened a while ago but looks so fine now, she looked at it as she knew what was going down there!
