Chapter 5

"Eleanor wake up it's a beautiful day! We have a lot to discuss."

"Go away, Mum!" Yelled Eleanor as she covered her eyes with her pillow. Right now she wish she had some sort of bottle to throw at that bitches head.

"Eleanor I said get up. Its ten o'clock we are behind schedule." As Helena ripped off her duvet cover. "For God sakes Eleanor, why do you insist on sleeping naked? You live in the Palace learn to wear a nightgown or undergarments, just bloody something." As she tosses a robe at Eleanor.

"Jealous Queen?! That I look better than you naked? Honestly Mum I am exhausted I didn't get home until four am and then I had a long talk with Liam which kept me up even longer."

"Well daughter of mine it's time to get up! We have a lot to discuss! This is the price you pay for being royal and for God sakes put the robe on. I am going to have Rachel bring in some breakfast and tea for us."

"What is there to discuss? Ted Pryce is dead! He died early this morning."

"There's plenty to discuss, my darling daughter and honestly Ted has essentially been taken care of so that wasn't why I wanted to see you. We need to discuss several things, but first we need to discuss Ophelia. Now get dressed."

It was ten thirty, Jasper woke up dressed in his clothes from the night before he must have drank too much last night. He has no idea how he even got home to his flat. But what he couldn't figure out was why he smelt coffee being freshly brewing. He tried to figure out what was going on was someone here, and if so who? Clearly he didn't bring a woman home because surely he wouldn't be wearing any cloths if he did. He really had no idea who could be in his flat. He tried to sit up, the room was spinning, ugh he needed water, asprin, at least a pot of coffee and the greasiest thing he can get his hands on. Finally he walked out to his kitchen.

"It's about time you woke up from your drunken stupor Mr. Frost. Please sit down."

Jasper pulled out a chair and sat down like he asked. He had no idea who this person was in his flat in his British accent Jasper finally spoke, "Who the bloody hell are you? I think you have the wrong idea mate, I am not into the dudes."

"Ha-ha, trust me Mr. Frost, may I call you Jasper," Jasper nodded ever so slightly, he had his hand under the table where he taped one of his guns, but soon realized it was missing, "Oh, Jasper I actually searched and found your guns while you were passed out, I know you are bloody American, you can have them back when we finish talking. You know I am quite surprised you don't recognize me being that you've worked in the Palace as long as you have."

Jasper interrupted now speaking in his normal voice, "Look I don't know what you want with me or who you are, but I no longer work for the Palace so you are barking up the wrong tree.. If you are trying to use me in some game."

"Oh Jasper, that is quite alright. It is probably better that you do not work there anymore. I am really quite embarrassed that you don't recognize me there are quite a lot of photographs of me in the Palace or at least there were the last time I was home."

Jasper let out a gasp, it couldn't be it can't be, "You can't be who I think you are trying to tell me who you are! You died! Boone admitted to crashing your plane. How do I know you really are him?"

"Just google me and you'll see."

Jasper did just that he googled Prince Robert, it certainly looked like him. "I'm going to have to finger print you to know for sure you are, who you say you are. Why would you come to me if you really are him?"

"Understandable Jasper. The reason I chose you is because I saw you leading my dear sister through that mob at the Kings Cup to honor my father after that video of Ted Pryce murdering my father. I also saw the way she looked at you. You mean something to her. The only other person I've ever see her look at like that was my best mate, Beck. She clearly feels something for you, so I can assume you two are close? I was hoping you could arrange a meeting between me and my sister under the radar. No one must know I am alive."

"Well, your Highness, I would love to help you, I really would do anything to see the Princess happy and finding out you are alive she'd be over the moon, but as I said before I don't work at the Palace anymore. There's one other thing your sister, hates me and the Queen gave me specific orders not to contact the Princess unless she initiates it herself and I am to be kept from any palace duties once I begin work at MI5."

"I can assure you Jasper, Lenny feels something for you. I know my sister quite well. When she does reach out and I can assure you she will. Here's the number you can get a hold of me on." He hands Jasper a card. "I really hope this stays between us. No one, I mean no one can know I am alive, just yet. Oh and if you plan on running my fingerprints I left you my thumb print on the back of the card. It's been a pleasure Jasper. And remember tell no one! Your job is to arrange a meeting with the Princess for me that is all. Oh and your guns are all on the counter over there."

It was almost noon and Eleanor finally emerged from her closet, "It's about time Eleanor, if I had known it was going to take you this long to get dressed, I would have set up brunch for us rather than eat in your mess of a room. Which reminds me we need to talk about this wall over here."

"Oh crap," Eleanor proclaimed, she just realized she never reached out to Phi like she had promised Liam she would.

"Something the matter?"

"Nothing for you to worry about Mother, just something Liam asked me to do and I forgot. So tell me why are you here? What is there to even discuss? And what about Ophelia?"

"There are three things, my darling daughter. But right now let's focus on what happened with Ophelia last night, so the other things can wait and trust me Eleanor we will be talking about everything including this wall and the damage you've done to these paintings. I know you were exhausted last night and just wanted to get home after everything, but you should not have left the Hospital from the back or had Ophelia leave in a separate car without you. I understand you were avoiding the Paps because your friend is grieving, but you missed out on a wonderful photo opportunity. That would show us in a different light it would have showed how caring and forgiving you were with Ophelia. Lucky for us no one saw either of you arrive or leave. Now I've had the hospital hold off on announcing that Ted Pryce is dead. I've already sent a car and had Ophelia picked up, your brother is waiting for us downstairs we as a family are going to be seen going in to visit Ted one last time. And show a united front in our support of Ophelia and then she is going to come back here with us."

"What are you up to Mother?"

"Why of course nothing, I just want this whole thing to die down, so everyone can just get on with their lives we've all been through enough."

Liam was waiting for his mother and sister to arrive. "Finally it's about time! I have been waiting for the two of you for over an hour. What's going on?"

"Dear brother we are headed to the hospital for a photo op to show we support Ophelia in this difficult time," Eleanor proclaimed.

Helena spoke,"Let's go we will talk in the car."

Everyone walked outside and got into the waiting car.

Once the doors were closed Liam finally spoke,"Taking advantage of Ophelia when she is grieving really Mother that's a new low even for you."

"Well, that's not entirely true! There's a second reason why I wanted the two of you both to appear by Ophelia's side. This was the only way to get you to the hospital without anyone knowing the real reason," Helena proclaimed

"You've got to be kidding me, Mum. You lied to my face not five minutes ago. What is your great reason now?" Eleanor was so angry. One could almost see the steam coming out of her ears.

"Well Mother? What is it this time?"

Helena finally responded, "Remember how you were declared illegitimate?" Both Eleanor and Liam's eye's widened with intrigue as she continued, "Well Cyrus," the Queen paused again, "He paid Dr. Cohen not to test your blood and made him go on a tour of duty in Gibraltar. Before you get upset please let me explain!"

"You've got to be joking me! I was right you were working with Uncle Cyrus, weren't you?" Eleanor was steaming mad.

"I flew there and he lied to my face. ARE YOU SERIOUS MOTHER!?" Liam was just as angry as Eleanor.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, but you have to know there is still a chance you aren't Simon's biological children, but he loved you so much! I love you both. I need, we need to put an end to this after all and put you back in your rightful place Liam!"

"So are you actually going to tell us if we aren't the King's children who are real father is? Because you already told me that the Henry thing was just a lie." The Queen never did tell Eleanor the name of her real true love. Liam just sat there in silence

"Eleanor, Liam, please know I never meant for anyone to get hurt."

Ophelia and Nick got to the hospital they were escorted in through the crowd at the front door, by Bloom she ended up being the agent assigned to Ophelia until things calmed down. The Paps, reporters everyone was screaming asking for a statement. Ophelia had no idea why she was being brought back to the hospital, but she held onto Nick tightly being sure to keep her face down. Even with sunglasses on you could visibly see she was upset. They were ushered into a room on the two floors up just below Intensive Care where her father had been only hours before.

Suddenly the doors are opened to the room. In walk the Queen, Princess Eleanor and Prince Liam. The look on Ophelia's face was utter confusion. "What's going on? Why would you bring me back here? You know my father is dead somewhere in this place!" Ophelia began to sob.

Eleanor walked over to her friend and gave her a hug, hoping and trying to calm her down. "Everything is going to be okay Phe. I'm sorry it's my fault we had to bring you back here. I know it's the last place you want to be."

Liam just stood in the corner watching it all play out. He wanted to hug her. He wanted to just be there for her in every way possible, but he remembered that's not his job now. That is Nick's job she was marrying him she chose him. He just stood there and watched his sister comfort her.

The Queen noticed when Ophelia was hugging Eleanor there was a ring on Ophelia's finger, "Well what is this?" Grabbing Ophelia's hand. "Are you and this young man engaged Ophelia?"

"Yes, your majesty." Nick quickly responded. So Ophelia could get herself together. Nick had been standing slightly behind Ophelia on the other side of the room from Liam. He was quite nervous to be in the room with that much Royalty. Oh he sure hoped Liam knew about the engagement.

"Well, well, this will do just nicely for us. I need to talk to Dr. Jax he will be the doctor addressing the public on behalf of your father and Rachel will be making a statement moments after on behalf of the Palace and you. But Ophelia could I have a moment alone with you?" The look on Ophelia's face was very concerning she was quite in shock, since the Queen and her weren't really on friendly terms.

Eleanor and Liam looked at each other just as confused as Ophelia. Why would their mother need to speak with her alone. What was she up to?

Ophelia finally spoke after a moment. "If we must your Majesty."

The Queen suck her head outside the door motioning for the guards to step in for a moment she turned to one of the guards, "Will you be a dear and fetch Dr. Jax. I had spoken to him earlier this morning. I need him to draw some blood from the Prince and Princess, while I go talk to Ms. Pryce. And have him wait for me once he's finished. I need to discuss our statement about the loss of Mr. Pryce." The Queen turned to Agent Bloom, "Would you please find and secure a room so I may have a moment with Miss Pryce?"

Bloom took off and came back moments later. "Ma'am, your Majesty we've secured a room for you. I am going to escort you there now. Please come with me your Majesty and Miss Pryce."

Right as Ophelia and Helena were being escorted out of the room and down the hallway Dr. Jax entered the room to take some blood from Liam and Eleanor, "Your Highnesses please roll up your sleeves for me." Nick didn't know what to do so he went and sat in a chair in the corner of the room.

"Your Majesty, I really don't understand what's going on? Why did you need to speak with me alone?" Ophelia was very confused.

"Ophelia, dear girl I owe you an apology. I was very rude to you over the last year and I was especially rude to your father." Ophelia was very confused. The Queen apologizing to her for her behavior. If that's not a first. The Queen continued, "A lot of things have happened over the course of my lifetime and I find myself relating to you in more ways than one. Now before I can continue this conversation stays between us."

"Okay your Majesty." Ophelia was still extremely confused. This wasn't the woman she spoke to last year.

"Ophelia from now on you may call me Helena. Dear girl, I was you and I am you in so many ways we are the same you would not be able to fathom. My mother killed a girl over thirty years ago because she wanted to be somebody and I lived with the secret of not knowing exactly, what she did for thirty years that made me Queen. It eats at you carrying the sins of our parents. It turns you into someone you are not. I know that I am partly to blame for your father's actions. I was extremely rude to him after your mother died and as I said before I am sorry. What he did was caused by me and how I treated him his grief. I never realized that he would go to the extreme to murder my son and husband."

Ophelia stopped the Queen, "You don't know do you? My father had cancer he had a brain tumor, he didn't have long to live. All though you said what you said to him and your behavior at times was rude and I am gracious that you chose to apologize to me, but what he did was hardly your fault." Ophelia began to weep. "The tumor changed him. He was not the father I have known. I am so sorry any of this happened if only I had known what was going on maybe I could have prevented it."

Helena walked over and hugged Ophelia. "Dear girl, I know you have, we have all been through a terrible tragedy with no real answers, which we will never know how or why it happens. We cannot play the blame game anymore we each have a part in the failures or successes of our families. I am so sorry you had to lose your father and mother in this. Maybe it's our fault because it's not safe to be near us at times. We do bring out the crazy in people." Both Helena and Ophelia let out a little giggle. "The real reason I wanted to speak to you in private is, the Palace and I know this will sound unorthodox would like to cover the funeral costs for your father. Although he killed two members of my family, we want to show a united front in supporting you in your time of need. Now there's something else that needs to be addressed you are welcome to come to the Palace any time you wish, but I need something from you. Would you mind terribly if we reveal your father's tumor and diagnosis? Also may we announce your engagement to that charming fiancé of yours? What's his name? I need you to agree to all of this."

"Yes, I will agree to anything you need me to. Why is my engagement to Nick important we are talking about my father's death?"

"Well, once your father has been buried we need the public to move on and allow you to mourn and it shows you are moving past what your father did. We won't official announce your engagement until a few days after your father's funeral though. So you'll need to come back to the Palace with us after statements are made and tell us all about this Nick you may bring him too if you like! There's one more thing, I also want to extend you a job offer we have an opening at the Palace we are looking for an assistant curator for our Palace Art Collection say yes darling and the job is yours."

"That's a dream job, I mean I would love to say yes, but why are you offering me a job? After all of this?" Ophelia was truly confused. What did the Queen want, did she have some hidden agenda that I don't know about.

"Because why not dear Ophelia. So say yes! We will discuss everything as I said back at the Palace."

"Yes."

"Ok now I must go speak with Dr. Jax, but we need to keep all this between us Ophelia, promise me you won't tell anyone not even that fiancé of yours can know just yet." Ophelia needed to say nothing just shook her head.

With that Helena was gone from the room.

"Dr. Jax it's a pleasure to see you again. There are two things we must discuss, I've decided you are going to only make an announcement about Ted Pryce dying this afternoon your full statement will be provided for you by my assistant Rachel when she gets here. Now the second thing on the agenda, you withdrew blood from the Prince and Princess yes?" Helena pulls out a hanker chief covered with blood and a hairbrush both in plastic bags and hands them to Dr. Jax. "I need you to test their blood against these two items and I need you to be discreet as discreet as possible, now off you go!"

"Yes your majesty." Dr. Jax ran off to the lab to take care of what the Queen asked for.

Helena begins to head back towards the room. Sending a text to Rachel that reads, "I need you at the hospital right away. We need to make a statement alongside of Dr. Jax declaring Ted Pryce dead. Be here in thirty minutes."
