When Christine woke up she didn't open her eyes immediately. Instead she thought of the night before. A blush spread over her cheeks. She loved Erik so much. Finally, she opened her eyes to find herself alone. She frowned and got out of bed. She slipped on her favorite dark green dress. Next to the dress she found a note.
Dear Christine,
I'm sorry I left without your knowledge. I didn't want to risk Morgan coming in again. I'll see you tonight, my love.
Forever Yours, Erik
Christine held the note against her heart and grinned. She heard a knock on the door. With one last glance at the note she threw the note into the fire.
"Come in!" Morgan walked into the room, focusing on Christine immediately.
"You overslept, Your Majesty." She said with a hint of a smile.
"Yes, I was, um, tired last night." Christine replied trying not to giggle.
"His Grace requests your presence."
"Tell His Majesty that I will be there soon."
Morgan bowed her head and left.
Christine ran into Erik right outside Raoul's chamber.
"Your Majesty," Erik bowed.
"Erik…what are you doing here?"
"The king wanted to see me." Christine could tell he was slightly nervous. She looked at the floor and started to take a great interest in her fingernails.
Just then the doors opened.
"Chrissy! Erik! Come in!" Raoul cried cheerfully. They entered the room and sat on opposite sides of the room. And Raoul knew why.
Sorry for another short chapter! I the next one is longer! Once again, thank you to my wonderful beta, Clown Accomplice! Review!
