Chapter 3: "I am your promised!"
Suddenly enters the Countess of Kensington with 3 more royal guards.
- Oh, my dear Charlotte. Who are these? - asks the Countess.
- I´m Mr. Nate That Should Be Already Married With Your Niece Ford. -Nate answered.
- That kind ... - says the Countess -. And you three are?
- Maids house, my lady. - Answered one of the guards.
What the Countess did not know was that two of the guards were and Eliot and Hardison. Nate nods to Eliot and Eliot hits the other guard.
- But what is going on here? - Asks the Countess.
- Ma'am, do not yell, just sit. - Says Hardison.
The Countess does what Hardison tells, with scared of him and Eliot.
- Now, what you want from me, aunty? - Sophie asks to the Countess very serious.
- You were going to marry a civilian under a false name? Never learned anything, Child? - Asks the Countess to Sophie.
- Is not your business, If I marry or not, and is Sophie! - Sophie says very angry.
- Sophie? Like the stupid of your friend? - Asks the Countess.
- I do not admit that you speak like that about Sophie! - Sophie screams.
- Okay, I'm a bit confused... - Parker whispers to Sarah.
- How is she? - Sophie asks calmer.
- She died three years ago. Cancer. - Countess says icily.
This time Sophie cannot hide the tears and she start to cry. Nate soon hugs her.
- Who are you? - asks the Countess to Nate.
- I'm the fiancé of Sophie, Nate Ford, and you ruined the wedding that we took 10 months to organize! - Nate screams.
- Groom? You? Sorry, but Charlotte is already compromised! - Declares the Countess.
- What? – They all scream.
- How is she compromised? - Nate asks to her screaming.
- I knew that Charlotte would not have a future, so I got an arranged marriage.
- Well I have a future, and I love Nathan. I'm happy! Who thinks I am to get me an arranged marriage? Let me tell you, I got myself very well alone...
- That's my girl! And she's right! - Nate says with proud of Sophie.
- And after all who is that promised? - Sophie asks.
- I am your promised - The man in black coat that interrupted the marriage enters, leaving them all stunned.
- Charlotte, let me introduce you to George the Count, the fifth. He is your promised, since you did 14 years.
- I search you for a long time, Duchess Charlotte. 16 years to be exact! I could not leave my bride away ... - continues the count.
- She does not your bride! And do not you dare touch her with a finger! - Nate says and put himself between Sophie and the Count.
- Uh! A threatened American. Love it! - provokes the Count.
- You know this part of the conversation where I punch you in the neck nine or ten times? We're comin 'up on that pretty quick. - Nate answers.
The Count gets scared while Eliot makes a move with his hand and fist to threaten him.
- I'm not afraid! - Says the Count, despite being very scared.
- Oh, you better be! Because I have the best men you cannot imagine. - says Sophie.
- Charlotte, will you marry me-whether you like it or not. Guards! - Says the Count.
The guards arrive and take Sophie abruptly, but in less than a minute Eliot manages to take them down.
- And now, George? - Asks Nate.
- For you is Count, disgusting person! - Fix the Count.
Nate cannot help it he punched the Count, laying him down and gave him three kicks.
- You will never marry Sophie. Do you know why? Because you are not a gentleman. - Nate says.
- Come on, Nate. He does not deserve. - Says Sophie. - Goodbye, aunt.
The seven friends leave the room and run to the airport.
