Chapter 7


Nick's POV


"Wow. That was...Wow." He tells me.

"I did nothing unlawful right?" Miley asks.

"Ummm no. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Miley, I love you and I want to be with you always." I say knowing that I really shouldn't have admitted to that.


Miley's POV


"You know Nick, I love you too. You are different then any other Prince I have ever met before. You treat me with respect and all and you help me even if people call me worthless because I was just a cook. A good for nothing cook that can't even read or write." I say.

"You are not good for nothing. You are very special, kind and generous." Nick says as he comforts me.

Suddenly there is a violent knock at the door. I grab a rag and I pretend to be cleaning. Nick goes towards the door.

"Who is it?" He asks.

"It's Paul Kevin's servant." Natasha says.

"Oh, come on in." Nick says as he opens the door for her.

"Miley, come quickly with me. They need us to help the queen with the baby." Natasha says.

I rush off with Natasha looking back and giving Nick a look before I continue down the stairs.


Nick's POV


Oh my! How could I be so stupid and let my instincts get the better of me. I'm officially what one calls a cheater. I have cheated on my chosen to be wife. I think Princess Selena is beautiful as all, but I like Miley better. She treats me like a person and not just a title. It's comforting. I sit on my bed and I think of my future. Well I'm going to be with Princess Selena in her parent's palace in Italy, having kids that will be heirs to the throne. Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupts my fear filled thoughts.

"Enter." I state.

"It's Joseph and Kevin." They both announce as they enter the room.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"Well father died this afternoon." Joe says.

"Wait! What! Are you serious?" I ask.

"Yes. I'm serious. He became I'll of the heart. It started at breakfast. He fell over in his chair and complained about pains in his chest. A couple hours later, we saw him really ill. We carried him back to his room. He gets into the bed and within the hour, Dad died. His heart was going too fasts." Joe says as he pulls me into a hug.

"So, with Dad gone? Who is taking over the throne?" I ask.

"Well Mom right now. She has the power until she dies." Kevin explains.

"Wow. Do you think that you will get into the throne?" I ask.

"Kevin will if Mom's gets killed soon." Joe asks.

"Ah. It makes sense." Kevin says.

"So why didn't I get told about this sooner?" I ask.

"Well we had no idea where you were. The only way we knew you were home was because we saw Miley and Natasha going downstairs to help with Mom's delivery." Joe explains.

"Oh. Well Dad sent me to go to breakfast with some nobles. They were the rudest people I have ever met in my life." I state.

"Yeah, they are very self centered." Kevin says.

"We didn't even get to see Dad. They wouldn't let us go near his room. We only knew he died because one of the nurses came and told us." Joe says.

"So who is King now?" I ask.

"Well Mom is queen now. Once she dies, I become King. I guess I'm getting married really soon then. Kings need to have Queens." Kevin says.

"We have to tell the peasants." I state.

"Well I guess you are right. Let's go to the Throne Room. We need to get Brass the trumpeter to summon them." Joe says as we all go to the Throne Room.

Everyone bows to us and then stands back up straight.

"Brass! We need you to summon the peasants immediately!" I state with authority.

"But why Prince Nicholas? King Kevin the First told me to summon the peasants at 2 rings of the clock." Brass argues.

"Well I'm a Prince and we have important news for the peasants. So summon them with your trumpet immediately." I tell him.

"You wish is my command your highness." He says before he blasts his trumpet out the window.

Within about 20 minutes, the whole town was gathered in front of the palace. They all bow as we become visible.

"Silence! Hear! The princes have a very important message for thee!" Brass yells.

Everyone becomes absolutely silent.

"Now we gather you all here today to announce the sad news of King Kevin the First's death! He died a clock ring ago of his heart beating too fast. May he be remembered and cherished. The burial will be tomorrow at 3 rings and the parade through town will be after the burial."Kevin shouts out into the crowd.

"Long live King Kevin! Let him never be forgotten!" They all chant.

We all wave and we exit the balcony.

"Thank you Brass." Joe says.

He looks at us shocked.

"I have never been thanked for my services before." He says with a slight smile.

We all leave and go back up to our rooms to work on plans for the funeral.


After a few hours


Miley's POV


Oh Prince Nicholas will be excited to know he now has a baby sister. Mind you he may not like the other part of the news. I knock on his door.

"Who is it?" He asks sounding stressed out.

"It's Miley, your sevent girl." I tell him.

I hear a chair move and he opens the door.

"I'm sorry, did I interrupt a period of important thought?" I ask.

"No, you didn't. Miley, you look tired, you should get to bed for a nap." Nick tells me.

"No, I'm alright. The queen has a baby girl." I state.

"Oh wow! How is the queen now?" Nick asks.

"Well she died in child labour. Your sister is still nameless. The King has to name her." I tell him.

"The king died an hour before we got home." Nick says.

"Oh my! I'm sorry." I say as I give him a hug.

I see tears fall down his face. I get him a handkerchief.

"Can you go get my brothers?" He asks.

"Certainly." I tell him.

"Just don't tell them until they arrive here." Nick says.

I give him one last hug before I go to find Joseph and Kevin. I find Kevin pacing in his room with the door open. I knock on the open door.

"Come on in Miley." He says.

"Kevin, Nick wants to see you in his room immediately. It's extremely urgent." I tell him.

"Alright, I'll be there in a moment." Kevin says as he goes down the hall.

I get to Joe's room and see him writing vigorously with his door open. I knock on the door. He looks up from his writing.

"Yes Miley. Please come in." Joe says.

"Nick wants to see you in his room right away." I tell him.

"Aright. I'll be there in a moment." He says as I leave.

I go back down to Nick's room and see Kevin there looking puzzled and confused.

"Joe said he will be here in a moment." I tell them.

"Alright, thank you Miley." Nick says.

Joe comes in.

"Mom died in child labour. She gave us a sister." Nick says.

"Oh wow! I have no idea if I should be happy or sad." Joe says.

"Oh god! I'm King. I'm the king." Kevin says in a panic.

"Relax Kevin, we will all help you." Nick says.

"I'll get Natasha to give a message to the messenger to give to Princess Danielle." Kevin says in extreme panic.
