I do not own the Royals and apologize in advance for all language and grammar mistakes, since English isn't my first language. Enjoy :)

The car ride went over in complete silence. Neither of them knowing what to say. Both were lost in their own thoughts.

"You know? It won't be for long right?" He finally asked.

"Yes, doesn't mean I won't get bored to death with you not being around." He chuckled lightly and turned his head towards her.

"You could always come with me." He offered. Kay snorted.

"I left the army for a reason Robert, I don't intent to go back there."

"If I recall correctly I was the reason." She rolled her eyes.

"If I recall correctly you got me fired, because you were refusing to taken anyone but me as you security detail." She gave back.

"You really gonna blame me for only wanting the best of the best?" She just shook her head at the next King of England. Finally the car stopped. She got out first holding the door open for him. Robert got fully dress in his military uniform. They locked eyes for a moment. Then he leaned down to give her one last hug.

"I'll miss you too. Don't do anything stupid and enjoy your vacation." She could hear the sad smile in his voice.

"You too. Don't die on me, otherwise I might lose my job." She tried to joke, still embracing their hug.

"You know me." Robert remembered her now looking at her again. "That's the problem." He nodded. Gave her one last wave with his hand before entering the Air force base. She watched him until doors closed behind him. Kay took in one last deep breath, before re-entering the car.

5 weeks later

When Kay entered the palace she was almost overrun. The entire palace was a complete mess. Staff members were crying, trying to comfort each other, while others were speaking into their mics, to get information or deliver it. Confused she made her way to the locker rooms, trying to find someone that could explain her what the bloody hell was going on. She made her through the palace, until she spotted a familiar face.

"Marcus!" She shouted. He turned around immediately and saw his face fall. He slowly made her way towards her. "What the hell is going on here?" She asked while panic started to spread in her. He stayed silent.

"Marcus!" She scolded him with a lot more force then she had intended. Marcus grew even more uncomfortable if that was even possible. Kay on the other hand was starting to lose her patience.

"Marcus I swear to god if..."

"Robert is dead." He cut her off, looking at her worriedly. She took in a sharp breath. She had been ready for anything, anything but that. She felt her legs weakening and leaned down at the next available wall sliding it down. Marcus looked at her worried crouching down on her level.

"How?" was all she could get out, a single tear sliding down her face.

"I dunno. No-one really does. They will announce it to the public at 3pm." He informed her gently. She nodded, took one last deep breath and got back up.

"Let's get to work then!" She told him voice still sounding slightly shaky. He nodded and together they made their way to a day of work full of grief.

What happened in the next week was beyond anything Kay had ever imagined. While the country was grieving their beloved Prince's death his family was falling more apart than she thought possible. While the Queen refused to grieve at all, the King was blaming himself. Liam had no time to really grieve, since he was now the heir to the throne, while Eleanor didn't know how to grieve.

It wasn't the first time she saw the royal family dining together, but for the first she realised, how important Robert had been to keep them a family and not a mess of self-interests. Kay had learned early on to blend out of their conversations or rather their never ending arguments. Until the room had gotten quiet and the words "Abolishment of the monarchy" had been spoken.

Her head shot up. It was quiet, she was sure that one could have cut the tension that was now laying over the table with a knife. Then one after another left the table, until only the King and her was left. Kay stood silently in her corner. He slowly turned around to face her.

"What do you think?" he asked her simply and caught her off guard. Kay took a few steps into his direction.

"Why does it matter?" She gave back the question.

"You are one of the people. Not even that. You decided, that giving your life for ours was a sacrifice you are willing to make. Why?" Kay looked at him for a moment until she closed the distance between them and sat next to him on one of the chairs. He didn't complain.

"You are an inspiration for many, I guess. The proof that something can last, even though everything else is falling apart. To me? To me you are a family. One that if you get to really know them is worth protecting. Because they give hope even when everything seems lost." She shrugged, gave him a quick smile, to remain her position.

"Kay!" She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around.

"Yes your Majesty?" "How are you doing?" She looked at him for a moment, considering her answer.

"I miss him. Just like everyone else." She paused. The King got up and stood now right in front of her mustering her carefully.

"Part of me thinks that if I had been there I maybe could have stopped whatever happened. You are not the only one blaming yourself." She reassured the King, who now looked at her with a new curiosity.

"Agent Monroe, please come in my office." She heard Pryce order, over her ear piece. "You excuse me your Majesty! Agent Pryce asked me into his office." She excused herself.

"Of course." He gave her permission. And she made her way towards the office, lucky to escape the situation. She had never been good with words. Her honesty had brought her more problems than anything. Also the last thing she needed was the Queen on her heels at the moment. When she entered her bosses office, the last thing she had expected was that another agent was present. She had expected, that she would get a new assignment, but apparently she was wrong.

"Agent Monroe!" Pryce greeted her when he spotted her in the door. The other agent in the room turned around. She couldn't remember that she had ever seen him in the palace.

"Jasper Frost." He introduced himself and held out his hand. She took it, looking him right in the eyes.

"Kay Monroe. Hi!" She gave back. He gave back a quick nod, before releasing her hand, both now facing Pryce.

"Agent Frost will take over as Princess Eleanor's personal security detail." He paused quickly. It wasn't a surprise to her. Eleanor's security details were changing on a regular basis. "I would like you to give Mr. Frost here a little tour. Since..." he paused him self. Her knowing exactly what he had been about to say.

"You will for now take cover shifts." It took all will-power jay had not growl out loud. She just nodded and gave Ted a fake smile. Then she turned towards the new guy.

"Shall we?" He just nodded and signalled her to show the way.

They walked in silence for a while, before she spoke up.

"I am gonna be honest with you. You are basically already fired."

"Excuse me?" he asked slightly confused. "Longest some stayed with the princess was 32 days. Then she got bored with him."

"Thanks for the warning then." He gave back in a cold manner, that made her stop.

"I don't know who you think you are, but this no way to make friends and trust me new guy you need some friends around here. Otherwise you will be gone quicker than you can count to three." He chuckled and gave her a smirk, that showed his huge ego.

"Again thanks for the warning but I think I will be fine." She crooked her head a little at that.

"Well then I got other things to do then showing you around. Have fun!" She know had a similar smirk on her face. There was a reason as to way Pryce always called her to introduce the new security details to the palace. This Frost guy sure as hell wasn't the first guy who believed that he was better than everyone else. But before she even reached the corner, she felt a hand around her wrist turning her around.

"Fine, I might could use some help finding my way around here. Would you be so kind?" He asked in a suddenly kind and almost apologising voice. Kay couldn't stop her eyebrows shooting up. She had done this a hundred times before but not once had the guys actually stopped her from walking away. Too full of pride to admit that they were wrong. The smirk on her face grew into an almost genuine smile.

"Is that an apology Mr. Frost?" She asked, voice teasing. "It's Jasper and you don't Have to push it."

"I am not so sure about that." She gave back and continued the tour with Jasper. Maybe he actually did have a shot at staying.

Please review and let me know if I should continue :)
