Chapter 19

Queen Genevieve

Genevieve woke up to find herself sleeping in Derek's arms; since they got married, she has always enjoyed sleeping in her husband's warm arms. She looked up at him and started drawing her hand up to his face and, with her fingers, started brushing his hair back and forth, then going down to touch his face.

Then when she stopped for a bit when she saw a pair of blue eyes staring at her, her hand stopped on his cheek, he then took it and kissed her arm, then her lips.

"Hey," he said to her before asking, "What time is it?" he asked her.

"I think it's barely eight," said Genevieve.

"So, around breakfast time then?" He said.

"Don't talk about food, Derek; you'll get me even hungrier." Said Genevieve smiling. Derek smiled back at her and kissed her softly on the lips,

"Then let's get ready to have breakfast," said Derek, kissing her again.

"Genevieve, I think it's time that we tell your dad about Kathleen, honey; he will have to find out eventually." Genevieve sighs.

"I've been thinking about that, and you're right Derek; it's time. I should tell him now than later or have him find out." Said Genevieve.

"It's for the best, honey; come on, let's get ready." Said Derek.

As Genevieve was getting up, she stumbled and almost fell; fortunately, Derek was close to her and could catch her before falling. "

Hey, you, ok?" he said with a worry on his face.

"I'm fine, Derek," she said.

"You sure?" he asked her with concern.

"Yes, come on, let's get ready for breakfast." She told him.

"Alright then." Said Derek.

Genevieve put on a blue and yellow dress with elbow sleeves and red flowers on the middle edge of the dress. While Derek put on a brown top and black pants with matching black boots.

The two made their way to the king's dormitory but were stopped when the advisor came in search of Derek.

"Good morning, your majesties, king Derek; you are needed in the throne room for a moment." Said one of the guards.

"Go, I'll tell my father." Said Genevieve.

"You are sure we can go together after I'm done?" said Derek.

"No, it's fine to go, Derek," said Genevieve as he gave her a small kiss on the lips.

"I'll see you at breakfast" she nodded and quickly went to go find her father.

She reached her father's room, knocked on the door, and slowly opened it. "Papa?" she said.

"My dear sweet Genevieve comes in, dear," she slowly walked in, ready to talk to her father.

"Papa, I need to tell you something…... Kathleen…. uh…Kathleen has been kidnapped the day of Courtney's wedding." She said, almost hesitant.

"I know, dear," said the king, a bit sad

"You what?! How?! When?! Who told you, papa?!" she exclaimed.

"Calm down, Genevieve; I noticed that when she didn't come to visit me whenever the doctor came to see me. I didn't tell you anything because I knew you and Derek would do the right thing." He said.

"Effectively, your right, papa; we have everyone in the Kingdome looking for her; as for Courtney, we haven't heard anything about her." She said as she saw that her father was sad that one of his little girls was missing and could see a tear forming and coming down from his eye and onto his right cheek.

"Oh papa, don't worry, well find her, I promise you that." Said Genevieve.

"I know you will, Genevieve; you treat your little sisters as your daughters, and you will do anything to protect them. There's no doubt that someday you'll be a great mother." Genevieve smiled and stared at her father.

"Thanks, papa; we should be heading to breakfast." She said.

"Of course, my dear," Genevieve helped her father get up from his bed, and both headed to the diner to have breakfast with the rest of the family.

Princess Fallon

Fallon felt hopeless; she couldn't do anything to help her sisters Kathleen and Courtney, although she had her thoughts already. Why would prince Levi tell her that he also is or was having feelings for her? Why haven't soldiers from his kingdom come to help us?

Why hasn't Courtney contacted us by letter yet? Even worse, how did they know which one to kidnap? They easily could have kidnapped someone else, thinking it was one of them?

But on the first try, they got it right, unless…. "Oh no!" Fallon made her way to the diner and noticed that her father, Genevieve, and Derek were there, as was her sister. She decided to wait until after breakfast to tell them what she had discovered.
