In that moment how could I have been so stupid, why did I tell him he needed to leave? I saw in his eyes how much he loved me and he saw how much I loved him I couldn't hide it in that moment. I wanted to comfort him I wanted him to comfort me, but I said what I said I needed him to go.

I realize now that was a mistake. He in the end came through for me so I didn't have the weight on my shoulders for killing a man. In that moment Jasper redeemed himself, I took his hand because when the whole world fell away he always shined through. He got me back to the car where James was waiting for me. Jasper didn't get in I was hoping he would I wanted to talk to him again and tell him I was sorry I loved him. I was wrong. I didn't want to lose him, but we drove off and he never got in.

I turned to James and asked him, "Why Jasper didn't get into the car with us?" James responded, "Jasper's bags had been packed before we left for The Kings Cup and he had a car waiting to take him where he needed to go."

I demanded, "James, tell me who gave him a separate car and why?"

James then told me everything, "Well Princess, Jasper sat down the Queen your Mum and told her the truth. He told her everything and how sorry he was for everything. He even told her about trying to rob The Royal family, and how he never meant to hurt you and he wanted to fight for you. Show you how much he loved you, and spend his life making it up to you, but you asked him to leave and he wanted to respect your wishes. And then he and your Mum came to an agreement she would allow him to take a car and the jet where ever he wanted. She would make sure he had a great reference, but he would not and could not initiate contact with you, or tell The Royal family where he was going. Only the new head of Palace security and MI5 & MI6 are to know where he is being that its regulation for them to know where he is for 2 years prior to his service of the Crown."

"Well than Mr. Hill, er James thank you for your candor and honesty. If and when I want to speak to Mr. Frost who shall I speak to about that since Mr. Pryce is no longer head of our security?" I asked.

"Well Princess, funny you should ask! The Queen was planning on announcing this tomorrow, but she decided I did such a great job as your security detail that I should take over for Mr. Pryce. She agreed to give me a cottage on the grounds for me and my daughter. By the way my daughter as expressed she wants to meet you very much, if your schedule allows it? "

"James, I would be honored to meet her. In exchange for meeting her I need you to do me a favor." James nodded and agreed, "What do you need from me your Highness?"

"When its safe and the time is right, I need you to tell me where Jasper is. And remember how I could just ask for space? Well I would need to go on my own. No security detail. I would have a plan on how I wouldn't be followed."

James, "Princess if I agree to this you must agree to a few things safety wise."

I shook my head knowing fair well Mr. Hill thought of me like a 2nd daughter, he's been rooting for Jasper secretly, so he thinks. As we pulled up to the Palace I was ushered in and taken directly to where Liam was.

Thankfully Liam was fine physically, emotionally he was a mess and I knew he would be. I was happy to see him I yelled "Liam", as I ran into the room and hug him, but saw the look on his face the tears in his eyes, "talk to me, brother."

Liam fell to the floor, "Oh, Len I almost killed him, I almost shot him if you didn't call when you did I would have been covered in blood. I would have been no better than him. The vicious cycle of revenge would just continue. I realized I couldn't do that to Ophelia and that in the same moment, I've lost her forever." He just sobbed, I did my best to comfort him. In this moment he needed me to be strong for him.

"Liam, do we know if Ophelia was secured in New York City? Please tell me someone thought to grab her so she didn't see her father being attacked on the news!" I turned to see Mr. Hill run down the corridor on his cell phone. Dear Lord they completely forgot about her!
