[Thank you to Missiek11 for her awesome review for the follow and fav xoxox babe]

"Hundreds of bagpipes filled the front of the palace. We hadn't even opened the door yet but you could hear them clear as day. One glance around the room and you could only just start to understand the depth and magnitude of how huge this day was how historic. I thought Prince Robert's death was insane this well there were no words to really describe what this day was. Looking around though I could spot all sorts of dignitaries from princes and princess of so many countries to diplomatic parties. The British prime minster and his wife their kids. French President Francois Murray, German Chancellor Angela Merralee, Spanish Prime Minster Sophia Rodriquez Palestine Authority President Mahmound Netanyah, Israeli Prime minster Natalia Saad. United States President Michelle Barbara.

Looking around I saw Princess Lacey from Denmark with her husband King Chrissake. Princess Sirivannavari Chang from Thailand who I know for a fact has always hated Eleanor and the feelings are likewise. Why she was here was beyond me. All I knew was she better not cause trouble for Lenny this day would be tough enough. Eleanor and Liam's cousins Penelope and Maribelle. The queens brother Andrew and his kids Angie and Joe. Prince Sonam of Bhutan. Celebrities were also gathered here Sir Elton, Madonna, Cher, Hugh Jackel, One Direction, Sir Paul, Helen Maren, Alma Clarey who is an activist and famous lawyer. I jumped as I felt my dad tap me on my shoulder so intent on watching everyone as they moved around the room mingling talking snacking on appetizers being served by the servants.

Phi: "Hey dad"

I saw my dad's eyes scanning the room as mine had just done minutes before. His ear piece was an ever present figure as he communicated with his guards. I saw them stationed throughout the room. Marcus ever present by Liam's side as Liam chatted it up with Princess Lacey. Flirt as always even on his dad's funeral day. Jordan and Sanford identical twins who were on the queens duty. Lorde Abbott Eleanor's guard who stood inches away eyes scanning all around. My dad was so devoted to his job and I know he is beating himself up that he let the king out unguarded the night he was attacked. Nothing convinced him it wasn't his fault even though it was an arrangement that had been going on for years between them for the king's nightly walks. The queen of course was being brutal on him. I know he's scared that the attacker could come back and attack again.

Ted: "Phi I know how much you care about Eleanor. I am also aware that what I am asking you to do is going to be hard.

Phi: "What are you asking dad?"

My heart started pounding what could he have to ask me that would be hard? We have always been close. Even these past few months when he's been upset that I have been with Eleanor even though we fought over it. Still he's my number one rock and my closet confidante.

Ted: "Today is going to be emotionally taxing on everyone there will be accusations running high there may even be some physical altercations" I need you to keep your distance from the princess she's a target and I don't want you caught in the cross fire."

Target.. crossfire. I didn't like where this was going but I really didn't like him thinking that I would ever keep my distance from Lenny. On any day never mind today of all days. She would need more support now than ever. More so after finding out she's pregnant. He placed his hand on my shoulder swallowing I slowly looked up at him. Seeing the worry in his eyes which made my fear pop even more. It took a lot to scare my dad at work and this domino whatever whoever it was they were scaring him. We still had no clue was this domino the reason the king was stabbed or was this a whole new threat?

My dad's eyes went straight to the big bay window mine followed to where she was standing rigid and cold eyes shifted down. Gazing upon the millions and millions of loyal British subjects gathered outside the palace gates. All waiting to pay their respects to the Royal family. Union jack flags waved proudly as bells rung out, guns shot out in ceremonial tribute signaling we were soon to start commencement. I saw her face etched with pain her throat tighten as she tried to control her waves of tears that threatened her composer.

Ted: "I get it Phi you want to be with her to hold her comfort her protect her even. It's natural when you love someone this deeply."

Phi: "So why are you stopping me?"

Ted: "Because I want you to be happy I want you two to have along life together that won't happen if I am distracted worrying about you being a target by being near her. My job is to protect them I failed the king I will be dammed if The queen loses one more family member on my watch. You may not believe it darling but despite how she treats her kids she cares deeply for them".

Phi: "She has a funny way of showing it"

Ted: "Phi not everything is as it seems there are pressures and sacrifices one must make when in a service capacity as the Royal family. We are guests here Phi we live on an unspoken code of distance and respect which you have broken and therefore made yourself as well as me targets. The queen is already on your watch lets not do anything today to piss her off she's already on a short fuse.

Phi: "Dad she doesn't scare me"

Ted: "I know Phi and that scares me she holds power you may not think she does but she holds more than you can imagine. Not to mention above all else even queen status she is Eleanor's mum and she will do anything to protect her."

Phi: "I respect that dad but it doesn't give her the right to act like a"

Ted: "Phi"

Phi: "Fine dad I'll behave but I don't like it"

He nodded getting what he wanted and moved away. Blowing out some air I looked around feeling nervous. The thought that someone could want to hurt Len or Liam hell even the queen scared me.

Looking around the room chilled me so many people in this way room could have a number of reasons to want the king gone. Lucius his damner was regal standing tall and proud at the queen's every beckon and call. He was dutiful.

He seemed to know everything there was to know about anything there was to know. He always seemed a step ahead. He was beyond devoted to the monarchy he had built his whole life around the upkeep and survival of it. The way he worshiped and followed the queen he would do anything for her and probably has. I honestly think he is in love with her. The queen herself has made it known she will not let the Monarchy die and we all know how pissed she was when King Simon went to Parliament and filed the referendum. She will sacrifice her own children's dignity self respect and self esteem. I don't care what any test say I know in my heart they are King Simon's children.

So many people were gathered here. I wondered how many really gave a damn that this amazing man and world leader was gone. For them it was probably just Royal duty how many gave a rats butt that this man left behind two broken hearted kids. Liam was talking to the prince of Turban, Gemma draped on his arm he was all business but I could still see the pain in his eyes.

James Halloway no too nervous. Cyrus's girls too dumb. That left Cyrus himself his shifty eyes his own admission to Liam that he dreamed of killing his brother everyday since they were kids. He never showed any ounce of love respect or admiration for his brother for his brothers kids. The queen was the only one he seemed to care about. Was he sleeping with her? I mean she was a whore. He told Liam outright he was too stupid to be king. The day Len was diagnosed with Syphilis he laughed and told her outright he would toast the day it went to her brain and fried her. He was heartless ruthless and desperate to be king but did he have the balls to try to kill his own brother? He could hire someone but would he trust someone? Len's sigh brought me to reality as I found myself almost at her side. How did I get here? I know my dad wanted me to stay at a distance but she sounded so depressed. Swallowing I looked around he was on the other side of the room. He wouldn't know. She had no one by her side. I was inches away when Cyrus shoved me out of the way muttering about us trash. I wasn't American when would he get that? I was British born here my dad is British my mum American. I could feel Len's muscles tighten as he approached her. Her breathing grew faster and harder.

Cyrus: "I would offer my condolences on your dad's passing but seeing as your just a bastard child and have no claim to his blood. I don't see a reason to oh and I don't give a damn about how you feel"

Len never turned around but I saw her fists clench tighter so tight they were white her nails digging into her palms. She'd draw blood if she pressed any tighter. Her voice was controlled but I felt her pain under the sarcasm.

Len: "Your ever so kind Uncle Cyrus wait your not really my uncle now are you? Your just a reprehensible gutter rat who couldn't wait to back stab his own brother. I know his blood is on your hands and I will find a way to prove it. Watch your back Rat"

Cyrus: "Your disillusion as usual Princess the syphilis has gone to your head already. Robert's gone Simon's gone and soon you will be to Win Win Win for me

I jumped as the queen came up behind him her voice low so not to be overhead but full of venom.

Helena: "Walk away from my daughter now Cyrus. You got what you wanted now walk away leave her alone"

Cyrus: "Not everything queen not everything but soon enough"

What else could he want? He got the throne and the way he looked at the queen sent shivers down my body. Gross he really did want her didn't he? It was pretty clear I wasn't getting any closer. I could tell Len needed some alone time with her mum maybe for once her mum would put her first and not the people.

Helena: "Eleanor I know your overwhelmed this is why we script you and Liam you don't need to think just read what we wrote. Walk where I tell you speak only when I tell you"

Eleanor: "Yes queen whatever you say queen or wait did I speak out of turn?"

Helena: "The whole world will be watching you and Liam today and your brother seems to be stepping up. This is on you now Eleanor. Don't screw it up"

Bitch.
