A/N: I still don't own the Royals or Jaspenor. Unfortunately. This is going to be at least a 4 part story. I'm super excited for it. This first part kind of got ruined by Jasper and Eleanor going public in episode 4x04 but since it goes along with the rest of the story I have planned and I was already 4000 words in by the time 4x04 aired I don't want to just toss it. Hope you all in enjoy what I have planned.

A Royal Fairytale

It's been three months since I came back home. Three months since Jasper was shot. Three months since my mother told Jasper to lie to the press about being a CIA agent. Three months since my Mum told us that they couldn't have a princess dating a CIA agent, at least not publicly. Three months since I told Jasper that I would rather have half a life with him than a full one with anyone else. Three months since Jasper stood up at that press conference and told the truth instead. Told everyone that he was an American. That he had originally come to the palace as a bad guy. Told them that he had changed. Told them that he was proud to have taken a bullet for the King. Told them that he would take a bullet for anyone in the Royal Family because we were his family. I'm proud of the man that Jasper has become, but I've never been prouder of him than I was in that moment. He told them that a beautiful woman had stolen his heart and that we were going to have a long and full life together.

Don't get me wrong, these past twelve weeks have been the best weeks of my life. Jasper and I are closer than we have ever been. Right now we are in the garden and he is chasing Sara Alice around while I sit on a picnic blanket watching them. It's a heartbreakingly beautiful thing to watch. I meant what I said, I would rather live a half a life with him than a full one with anyone else. But that's not how it should be and I know it's not what either of us wants. We want the happily ever after. I watch him with Sara Alice and I can't help envisioning him with our own little girl, chasing her around, making her giggle. I know he would be an amazing father. He deserves that. We deserve that. After all that we have been through I know that he is my forever and I know that married or not, I will spend the rest of my life loving him. But I want to wear his ring and I want him to wear mine. I want to be able to walk down the street holding hands. I want to be able to go out to dinner with him or to a concert and be able to hold each other close. I want him to get down on one knee and ask me to be his wife. I want to walk down the aisle and promise everything to him in front of all of our friends and family. I want to have a family with him. A little boy with his hair and grin and a little girl with his eyes. I want it all with him. But how can we have it if we can't be together outside of the walls of this palace. It makes me want to scream. It makes me want to take his hand and grab our bags and head for somewhere that the royal family doesn't matter and never come back. And believe me, that thought is very tempting. But I'd miss Liam and my mum. And Sara Alice and James too. I'm sure I would miss Robbie too if I wasn't so angry at him. I've discovered the bad side to my brother in the last few weeks. Liam tried to tell me before I left for the Hoteleanor project but I just thought he was jealous. But I've seen too much, heard too much, know too much now. He has diplomatic immunity so he will likely never pay for his crimes but that doesn't mean that I will ever forget or even forgive what he's done either. Because I won't. I won't ever be able to forget what he's done to Jasper, to me, to us. The time that he cost us.

I've been spending a lot of time with Willow lately and we have gotten really close. It's been nice having a female friend again. It's times like this that I miss Ophelia. I've been talking with Willow a lot lately about the situation with Jasper. She knows that I'm frustrated about having to hide our relationship. That we want a real future together. We have an idea but we don't know if it will work. I want to have faith that the people of Great Britain are more enlightened and forgiving than my dear brother the King. I want to believe that most people in fact will be more open than my smug, arrogant, self-righteous brother is.

I pick up my phone and type out a text.

"Can you meet me this afternoon?

"Sure. Is 4:00 okay?"

"That's perfect!"

Just as I looked back up I saw Jasper approaching me. He looked tired but he was still the happiest I had ever seen him. The world around us may keep spinning and the drama might still be all around us, but when it was just us, or even Sara Alice, it was like nothing could touch us. Together we were stronger than we could ever be apart.

"Hey gorgeous. Penny for your thoughts."

"Actually, I was just thinking that we should take a vacation."

"Seriously."

"Yeah. I mean, so much has happened this past year. We've been through so much. We could use a getaway don't you think."

"Well yeah, but there's no way that Robert will give me time off to go on vacation with you."

"You let me handle my brother."

"Okay Princess, okay. You win."

"Of course I do." I said with a wink

"What are you doing this afternoon?"

"I have a few meetings this afternoon. Actually, I should get changed. What about you?"

"I'm going to hang out with Sara Alice for a little while longer and then I have to accompany the King to a meeting with the Prime Minister."

"We'll have fun with that last one."

"I'm sure fun will be the last thing it will be."

"I know. I wish it wasn't like this. If our relationship was public then you wouldn't be allowed to keep working for him. I hate this."

"I know. Me too!"

I glanced down at my watch and realized I was going to be late for my first meeting if I didn't hurry. "I have to go or I'm going to be late. I love you."

"I love you to Princess. I'll see you tonight."

I've had the best day. I spent the morning with Jasper and then we spent time with Sara Alice in the gardens and then I had meetings with two of the charities that I am working with. The first meeting with the local orphanage had gone really well. We are planning a carnival for the children for Halloween and organizing a fundraiser to raise money to provide Christmas for the kids. And then I had a meeting with the domestic violence organization that I am I working with and we finally found a location for a new safe house for women seeking safety from their abusers. It makes me feel good that I am helping to make a positive impact on the world around me. It makes me feel like my dad would be proud of me. I miss him every day. I wish he was here now. Life would be so different.

Now I am off to my final meeting of the day and then I get to go home to Jasper, the love of my life. This meeting is the most important one of the day. This meeting will change my life. It will change Jasper's life.

We didn't need to discuss where to meet, we both already knew. We'd spoken several times over the past year and we both knew this was a safe place to meet. As I got closer I could see that they had already arrived.

"Hey. Thanks for meeting me."

"No problem. What's up?"

"I have a proposition for you?"

"I'm interested. What is it?"

"I want to go public with Jasper and I need you to help me figure out the best way."

"To be honest, Princess, I have given this more thought that I probably should have, but I think I know exactly how to do it."

"Really? I'm all ears. Do tell."

It took a good hour or so, but we were able to hash out most of the details of the plan. I'm so excited to put it into action. I'm also anxious because I don't know if it will work. I don't know what will happen next.

One week later I had booked a Villa in Turks and Caicos and Jasper and I were set to fly out this morning. I couldn't wait. One week of nothing but Jasper and I lying on the beach, swimming in the pool, and making love over and over. It was going to be bliss. The first week it would just be us and of course Rosie, but we had arranged for James, Sara Alice, Liam, Willow, and my mom to join us for the second week. After all we had been through we all deserved a break. The Villa is named Triton Luxury Villa and it looks amazing. It's ocean front and the views are breathtaking. If the pictures are this beautiful then the reality is going to be perfection.

Just an hour after arriving at the villa in Turks and Caicos, Jasper and I were laying out at the pool. It knew it was time. I texted the go ahead. God I hope this works. Less than five minutes later the alert popped up on my phone. I clicked on it immediately. I knew what it would say of course, but I was excited all the same. There was no going back now. Things were about to change for Jasper and me. But for better or worse we'd be doing it together. His phone beeped a moment later and he picked it up. I watched him as he started reading but saw the change in his expression almost immediately and then his eyes went wide as he turned to me. I smiled shyly and winked at him.

"What did you do Len"

"I followed your lead."

"What do you mean?"

"During the press conference at the hospital you said that the truth would set you free. Well I set us free."

"But why?"

"Read the article babe. It will tell you everything you need to know." I stood up from the lounge chair and walked over to him. I leaned down and kissed him and then turned and jumped in the pool. I jumped up on the crown shaped float and leaned back to watch Jasper as he read the article. I'd already read it of course. Harper had sent me an advance copy yesterday. It was perfect. She'd captured us perfectly. I

A Royal Fairytale

By: Harper Day

A normal fairytale romance this is not, but a love story it most definitely is. I feel incredibly blessed to be the one to get to share this love story and I sincerely hope that you will fall in love with this couple and their journey the same way that I did. While I have had the opportunity to spend time with Jasper Frost in the past, the source for this story is actually the amazing woman that stole his heart. Their love story has certainly had its highs and lows, but his girl tells me that no matter what comes next, she knows without a doubt that she and Jasper will be doing it side by side. Loving, inspiring, and supporting each other.

But let's not get a head of ourselves, let's start at the beginning shall we.

Most people became aware of Jasper Frost three months ago when he was shot while in the line of duty protecting His Majesty King Robert. The bullet narrowly missed his heart by only about an inch. He is very lucky to even be alive today. Since that day many have considered him a hero and have been eager to learn more about the mystery bodyguard.

Jasper Frost, self admittedly, has not always been a good man. He spoke of this during the press conference held just days after he was shot trying to protect His Majesty King Robert several months ago. He was born and raised in America. He grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. His parents were scammers and thieves. Jasper's father used to make him dress up as an elf at Christmas and help him steal money from the needy by pretending to be with collecting money for charity. That wasn't the first, nor the last con that Jasper's parents taught him. Jasper was raised by two people who had no moral compass and yet he still ended up finding his own. His own compass came in the form of a woman. The woman who stole his heart. Which is ironic since he came to the palace with the intent to steal something himself. He originally came to the palace to steal the Koh-I-Noor diamond. But shortly after arriving at the palace he found something that was even more valuable than the 105.6 carat diamond. He found the girl of his dreams. His girl tells me that she could never have imagined that Jasper would be the kind of man who would have stolen her heart but that now she can't imagine there being anyone else who could. Not only did Jasper not steal the diamond or even attempt to once he arrived at the palace he stopped his past partner in crime when they showed up to take over when Jasper didn't follow through. Over the course of his time at the palace he has proven himself trustworthy and loyal to the Royal family. Jasper once told me that although he came to the palace for something valuable he stayed for something priceless. True love.

Jasper Frost has become a man who seeks to right wrongs, instead of committing them. He is a man who protects those that he cares about. It might surprise you to learn that Prince Liam considers Jasper to be one of his best friends. They became extremely close during the time that Jasper served as his security detail. It might also surprise you to learn that after it was incorrectly revealed that Prince Liam and Princess Eleanor were illegitimate that Jasper continued to follow the Princess from country to country to protect her after then King Cyrus removed her security detail. I'm sure that most of you remember that Princess Eleanor was well known as the party princess. Wherever she went there was sure to be drama and scandal. Jasper did so without being asked and without compensation. Jasper Frost it seems is also the one who discovered that Ted Pryce was the person whose violent attack led to the death of our beloved King Simon. I've been told that Jasper refused to give up until he found the King's killer and brought them to justice.

Jasper Frost it seems also has an incredibly soft and gentle side. One of his favorite people is seven year old Sara Alice Hill, the daughter of the King's Head of Security James Hill. I'm told that Sara Alice and Jasper formed an instant connection and that he spends quite a lot of time with the young girl. Sara Alice told Jasper that his eyebrows look like caterpillars. She even nicknamed him "Jasper the Caterpillar" They even worked together to create a fairytale story book as a gift for Jasper's girl this past Christmas. At the end of the book was a simple sterling silver heart necklace that Sara Alice named the "happily ever after necklace". Jasper's girl tells me that it the necklace has become one of her most prized possessions.

Jasper's girl. You might be wondering why I keep referring to her that way. Well that's how she asked me to refer to her. She told me that he once told her she was his girl and that he is going to love her no matter what. She said he's called her that on a number of occasions since then and that it feels like the perfect way to refer to her. She told me that Jasper is incredibly sweet and romantic. He has written her numerous love letters that she describes as romantic, sweet, funny, heartbreaking, honest, and endearing. She told me that he is incredibly protective of her and that he told her that he thought she would be settling if she chose to be with him, but she wholeheartedly disagrees. She told me that he told her that he's done what he's done, and he's always been willing to pay the price for his past sins but that he would never allow her to pay the price. She and I both know that she paid a price though. The price she paid was a broken heart.

See, last Christmas I received a tip about Jasper's history and knowing that he worked at the palace I contacted him regarding a story I was planning to print. To protect his girl he broke up with her so she wouldn't be touched by his past. The story never went to print but the damage was done. While they were apart Jasper wrote letters to his girl at least once a week expressing his love, remorse, and desire. He didn't know it yet but she had forgiven him and had planned to reunite with him. This was to happen on the day that Jasper was shot. His girl tells me that had she not already been planning to reunite with Jasper, the shooting would have certainly sealed the deal. She told me that hearing he'd been shot left her breathless. That realizing that she could have lost him forever, with no chance or ever being able to try again, scared her to death and broke her heart. She said that she knew right then that what happened was in the past and that she was going to live each day to the fullest and make sure that Jasper did too. She said she prayed and prayed that he would make it through surgery and wake up. She said that she was afraid that she had waited too late to forgive him and try again and that she wouldn't waste another chance if he would just survive and be okay. She said that every moment since he woke up in the hospital has been a gift. She said that no matter what goes on around them, the world spins madly on but when it comes to her and Jasper, they are stronger than ever. She says that even their disagreements don't really matter, because they both know now what it's like to live without the other one and they both know how close they came to losing each other. They both know what they have to lose, and it makes the dramas of life seem insignificant in the scheme of things. What they have is special and they both know it and appreciate it. She says she thanks God every single day that she gets to love this amazing man. She says that she feels incredibly blessed to have him love her back.

She says that when they met she wasn't the best person either. She says that falling in love with him made her a better person too. She says that he makes her want to be a better person. She says that he makes her see the good in the world and that it makes her want to put good out there too. She says she used to drink and do drugs every single day. She says she didn't use to care about anything other than having fun. But Jasper changed all that for her. She says that she thinks he knew exactly who she was as soon as they met. She says it feels like he's always been able to see right into her soul. She says he loves and accepts her for who she is. Not just the girl that everyone else sees, but the girl that she is when it's just them. The girl that no one else gets to see. His girl.

She said he told her that happily ever after is real and that together they are going to find it. She said that he told her that he wants to be with her for the rest of time. She said that Sara Alice would call it a fairytale. She doesn't think Sara Alice would be wrong. She said that every fairytale has a villain and drama, but they also all have a happy ending. She's not ready to call it an ending though. She says they are just beginning. She says she knows that not everyone will approve of their relationship. She says she knows that there are people that will judge Jasper, judge her. She says that that's okay. There will always be haters. But that those people don't know the real Jasper and they don't know the real her. She says that if she lived her life the way other people wanted her to she'd never be happy. She says she's spent enough time being lonely and miserable. She says she's wasted enough time being lonely and sad when she can be with the man she loves, the man who loves her and be happy.

She said the same words to me that Jasper said in response to my question the day of the press conference. She said that they are looking forward to a very long and full life together. She also told me that his words meant everything to her because she had just said she would rather have a half a life with him that a full one with anyone else. And while she says that's true, she admits that she wants the full life. She wants all the moments that life has to offer. Engagement, Wedding, Marriage, Children, Family, Love, Laughter, Joy, and even Sorrow. And she wants all of those things with Jasper Frost.

She says Jasper calls her princess and treats her like one too. She jokes that she doesn't think it's just because she is one, but because they are going to live happily ever after just like in a fairytale. That's right, Jasper's girl is a Princess. The Princess. Princess Eleanor Henstridge.

Princess Eleanor and I have talked often in the past few months and when she asked me to be the one to tell this story, her story, their story I immediately said yes. I've spent time with each of them separately and together and the feeling is always the same when they talk about each other. It's always full of love. I've known about Princess Eleanor and Jasper Frost since Christmas. I could have written a story about them a long time ago, but I'm glad I didn't'. Because that story wouldn't have been as honest and real as this one is. They are a beautiful couple both in looks and in the way that they are together. One only has to be in a room with them to be able to see that. If you ever have the opportunity to see this couple in person or to be able to listen to them talk about each other you will never doubt that they are the real thing.

Not your ordinary fairytale indeed, this is a royal fairytale.

Harper's idea had been perfect. Everyone loves a love story. Ever since Jasper had been shot saving Robert, or at least that's how everyone thought it had happened, he had been a hero. Everyone had wanted to know more about him. As soon as she had mentioned the idea I had been on board. Now we just had to wait and see how the public reacted. Not that it really matters. What's important is that now everybody knows, and we won't have to hide anymore. I want us to be accepted but it's not a necessity. The only opinions that really matter are the ones of the people we love and they already accepted us, a long time ago.

Jasper finished reading the article and placed his phone down on the table as he rose from the lounge chair and stepped into the pool. He swam over to where I was on the float wearing the biggest smile I had ever seen on his beautiful face. He pulled the float closer to him and we leaned in at the same time and met in a passionate kiss that had my toes curling in anticipation. He gently pulled me off the float and into his arms. We stood there just kissing, touching, appreciating each other for what felt like an eternity but was probably only a few minutes before he took my hand and led me out of the pool and into the house to our bedroom. Yes, this week is going to be absolute bliss.

A/N: The Villa is real and I highly recommend looking it up. Absolute vacation goals!
