A/N: Sorry for the late update i was sick this week. Hope you like this chapter!
First Clark, then Oliver, now a mysteries soldier. Did she go weak in the knees for all the hero types or what? all she did after her little recon with her mystery soldier was picture his deep baby blue eyes. Now here she is getting dressed to meet the Queen, but all she could think about was her took a deep breath and headed down the hallway, escorted my one of the maids. " Come on, focus, you have to make a good impression." she murmured to herself as she entered to royal thrown room.
Chloe could feel her heart race as she walked down the red carpet, admiring the marble floors, and the stone cloems. As she neared the thrown, she heard a voice of a man.
" We have most of the preparations done for the gala" the voice said. Face to face with the Queen Chloe could see the voice came from the man dressed in a black suite and can only assume he was a security guard. Then her eyes laid on the women who was being addressed, which was undoughtfully the queen. She look like the pictures in her research; she was around her late 40's, long dirty blond hair, and amazing blue eyes. She felt some what familiar to Chloe but couldn't really put her finger on it.
" Thank you, Peter" the Queen said, giving wide grateful smile. Peter then headed towards the door with the other men.
' Breath Chloe, breath. Just introduce yourself. She's just a regular person, you know except for the ruling a whole country thing,' Chloe thought to herself. she was now face to face with the Queen.
" Hi I'm Chloe Sullivan, I'm the reporter from the Daily Planet" Chloe said, hoping her voice didn't waver.
" Its a pleasure to have you "The Queen greeted.
" Thank you for having me, I'm looking forward to the next month," Chloe said, letting her reporter side jump into action.
" I've heard great things about you, and I've also had the pleasure to read one of your articles. I must say, You are very talented." The Queen said with a grin.
" Well I certainly hope that I don't disappoint you," Choie said, flashing a bright grin." I hope Mr. White has informed you of my job here, right?"
"That he has, and you have all our resources at your disposal. i take it, you have meet your chauffeur John am i correct?"
" Yes I have"
" He will escort you between the palace and the city, your the events and parties you will be attending."
" Wow, thank you. Ammm if you don't mind me asking but, where is the rest of the royal family?" Chloe asked with a sliver of nervousness in her voice. She remembered reading that the king had died 3 years ago. They had a son about her age, but he wasn't ready for the responsibility yet. she couldn't find pictures of the prince, but her research said that he was serving in the military, and was posted in Iraq. As for the rest of the relatives, there was rumores that after the kings death they had grown apart.
" as for my son. He has just returned today, for the gala in the -" the Queen took a deep breath, " for the gala , that is memory of the late king," she finished with a sad smile. " and as for the rest of our relatives, they live in the city. John would be more then happy to take you to them, for your interviews."
" I'm sorry" Chloe whispered, while look at the ground.
" Don't, he wouldn't want people to be sad for his death," the Queen said, trying to put her at ease. " It was a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Sullivan. but I must attend to my people," she excused herself as she headed towards the door.
" Thank you for your time" Chloe said as she followed her lead at exited the thrown room. It's was around noon and her stomach was rumbling, so she decided to head towards the kitchen to grab some lunch. Well that was easier said then done, instead of the kitchen she found herself in a hallway that as far as she could tell was no wear near the hallway to her room. Wasn't that ironic, she could guide a team of superheros around a top secret laboratory, but here she is lost trying to find the kitchen. " This is just great," she muttered to herself.
" Well at lest I'm not the only one to think so," said a familiar voice behind her.
Chloe nearly jumped out of her own skin from the shock she just had. she turned around, her eyes locking on those deep baby blue eyes. " Well soldier, if i didn't know better I'd say you were stalking me." she said with a playful grin.
" You can blame fate for doing that, not me with a telescope, if that's what your wondering," he added sarcastically.
" Oh, and here I though I caught your eye." she snarked back.
He took a long pause staring in her eyes before clearing his throat. " So I take it by your comment earlier that your lost" he asked raising a eyebrow.
" Wow a regular knight in shining armour. Sadly yes I am lost, would you happen to know where the kitchen is?" she asked hopefully.
" Well you happen to be in luck, I was heading there myself," He said as he started to walk. Chloe quickly followed him.
Chloe didn't notice until now that he was wearing regular cloths, jeans, and a plain white shirt. She was studying his body, his tanned skin, his muscular brood shoulders, his long legs, and his long arms. She wanted to run her hands through his now visible dirty blond hair, and see just how far his tan reached in his body. She was brought back from her thought by his low husky voice.
" Chloe, where here." He said, giving her a questioning look.
" Oh, sorry I must have dosed off," she said, as her cheeks when red. ' this is going to be a long month' she thought to herself.
