Chapter 6
Today we were leaving for Russia. Everything that I needed is packed. My lady Sydney packed it all for me. Eddie and Viktoria got married yesterday, and Viktoria looked stunning. I was happy for them because at least they could have each other.
Dimitri is being himself again but is ignoring me, not because I have broken his heart, but because he is up to something and he knows I would find out. He can read me like an open book and I can read him as well.
King Ivashkov is being a douche, like he is, and always tries to flirt with me, but doesn't get the chance because somehow or from somewhere Dimitri comes in and interrupts him by talking about the Russian army with him. It brings a smile on my face knowing he is here and protecting me from the evil king.
I am currently sitting in my chamber and taking everything in. I would miss everything in here. There are so many memories in this room for me. I don't want to let go of these memories anytime soon. I am waiting for the guards to call me that we are ready to leave. I am excited and nervous. Excited because I am going on a trip and would see Russia for the first time in my life. They say it is a beautiful country. Nervous because I don't want to be with the evil king and because the love of my life is up to something.
"Your majesty, it is time for departure, his highness King Ivashkov is waiting for you down the hall," Guard Sasha said. I got up and walked out. Viktoria would be meeting me outside near the carriages.
Adrian the Douche was standing there with the biggest grin on his face. When I arrived he picked up my hands and kissed them. I was so disgusted that he was touching me.
"Your majesty, you can't imagine how happy I am that you are coming to Russia and will be my wife soon," he said to me. All I did was force a smile for him. I looked up at Dimitri who was giving Adrian a death glare. Adrian still had my hands in his hands. I quickly took them away from him, not being comfortable at all.
I walked out with Adrian walking beside me, and the guards behind us, Dimitri being at my right side. Viktoria and Eddie were waiting outside. They both looked happy but I know they were sad that they didn't get to spend more time together although I would make sure they do.
I got in my carriage, which is black and gold, and is really big. Viktoria got in, including Dimitri seeing as he is the captain of the army. I didn't want him in my carriage. I would have preferred Eddie so he could have time with his newlywed bride. The rest of my guards got into the other carriage and Adrian and his lords were in his carriage with his guards on horses.
I was so thankful to Viktoria because she sat next to me instead of Dimitri who was in the front facing us. I looked him in the eyes and my pulse picked up. I wanted him to hold me, but I knew this could never happen. He was smirking.
The door opened revealing Sydney. What is she doing here? She got in and sat next to Dimitri and his smirk just widened.
"Sorry, your majesty. I am late," Sydney, said.
"What are you doing here Sydney?" I asked her.
"Oh my pardon, I have forgot to ask you, your majesty. Both Sydney and I are in love and wish to get married with your blessings and since we are going to Russia and that's my home country, I thought it would be nice to get married there. So I asked Sydney to come along and she can still be your lady," Dimitri explained. What was he saying? This is not true. How can he just say that? Tears wanted to come out but I held them back. He was in love with Sydney. He no longer loved me and wanted to marry Sydney.
I was getting so angry. I know I have no right to get mad, but still, what he said just made me so angry. I looked between both of them and they were smiling at each other lovingly. I have no right to get mad. I have said that I would want him to move on, find a good girl for him, and I guess Sydney is the one.
"Of course I will give you my blessing. I am so glad you are coming along, Sydney, and will be marrying Captain Belikov." As I said this, their smiles dropped and they were both staring at me, but soon recovered and put the smiles back, which looked like they were forced. What was that about?
Soon the carriages started to move and the ride began. Everyone was so quite and I was looking out of the window. I am so not liking Dimitri in here with us because I wanted to ask Viktoria all about last night, and it looked like she wanted to tell Sydney and me.
I was getting so jealous of Sydney because she was sitting with Dimitri very close. Tears wanted to come out so bad and I wanted to yell at Dimitri for having this kind of effect on me. I wanted to slap him, kiss him, have him hold me in his big arms, make love to me, call me Roza. Ugh! Rose you have to stop. He belongs to someone else now and it was your decision to be with the evil king. I yell at myself in my head.
He is just pure torture. Why did he have to bring Sydney along and tell me he wanted to marry her? He just had to ruin my trip. Both of them were talking right now and laughing.
"I can't for us to get married," Dimitri said to her.
"Me to," she replied.
"And then I want lots and a lots of kids," He said. Ugh! He was making this so hard. Why were we talking all about this?
"Of course Captain, you would be the only one who would want lots and lots of kids," Viktoria said to him.
"Well yes, Lady Castile, you are well aware I just love kids so much," He said to her and received a slap from Sydney on his arm.
"Stop embarrassing me," she said.
"Oh come on, sweetheart, you don't have to be ashamed for Lady Castile and her majesty. They are friends first," he said. He is just trying to kill me here and I can see this trip would be pure torture.
"Captain Belikov is right, Sydney, there is nothing to be ashamed of. I mean after you get married you, would have at least twenty kids running around. So I think there is nothing to be ashamed of," I said to them and again their smiles were dropped. What was this all about? Dimitri's face pulled up in a smirk again.
"Your majesty, you wouldn't need to work hard after your marriage, seeing King Ivashkov already has three children from each of his other wives. You are getting lucky, everything is prepared for you already," Dimitri said. Oh, he was just getting on my nerves and all I did was smile at him.
I turned around again to look out the window. I was listening to their conversation. Dimitri knew I was listening and kept flirting with Sydney, which just boiled my blood. I hate him so much right now. He just had to come up with something that would hurt me.
I don't know how long passed until Viktoria and Sydney fell asleep. I looked up at Dimitri who was looking at me. Our eyes met and it felt like every emotion was being passed. I saw hurt, longing, lust, love, and passion in his eyes. And he saw the same thing in my eyes.
A tear slid down my face that I hadn't known fallen. He brought his hand up and wiped the tear away, resting his hand on my cheek as I leaned in.
"Why so hurt? This is what you wanted," he asked. I didn't know what to say.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked him.
"Why am I doing what?" he asked. He knew what I was asking but wanted to hear it from my mouth. I slapped his hand away from my face and asked,
"What is this?" I pointed towards Sydney.
"What is this? You are asking me what is this? You wanted this. You told me to move on, and I did. Found someone who would love me and would not hurt me and give me what I want. She is not a Royal and I can be with her because she is from my class. She is not selfish like you," he said. Each word he said was a slap on my face.
What could I say to him? I told him to move on and now I can't stand it. I can't see him with someone else. Have dreams of having kids with someone else. I want him to tell me that he still loves me. I still want him to hold me in his arms.
"You expect me to see you with someone else, but can't see me with someone else? You can go, ruin your life, but can't see me happy? You expect me to agree with your decision and you can't agree with mine? You are a pure, selfish, heartless woman," he said. I don't know what I felt. Each and every word was true. I am selfish and heartless.
"You are jealous, why do you care?" he asked. He had no emotions on his face except hurt. All I did was, sit on his lap and kissed him fully on the lips. He was shocked at first, but soon kissed me back. Our mouths were on fire and shivers went through my spine and my stomach was doing flip-flops. I wanted to die right here, right now in this man's arms. I have missed him so much.
I missed his touch and his warmth. My hands went to his neck and one of his hands went in my hair and the second at my waist, pulling me closer to him. Our tongues met, a war starting between them. I was in heaven right now in this man's arms. I did not care if Viktoria or Sydney would wake up and see me in his arms. All I cared right now was him.
We broke apart to breathe, but his lips never left my skin. He kissed my jaw, and moved down to my neck.
"Why are you doing this to me?" he asked, his lips still on my neck.
"You know I have no other choice, I have to do this," I said.
"Then why are you jealous and on my lap right now and kissing me like there would be no tomorrow?" he looked up with one eyebrow raised.
"Because I can't see you with someone else and love you more then my own life," I replied to his question.
"But isn't that what you want?"
"But who said I have to like it?" I asked him.
"You are really stubborn."
"And what about you? Don't you think I know all about your little tricks?"
"What are you talking about?" he asked, really looking innocent.
"What are you planning on doing with the King? I know you have evil plans."
He laughed and asked, "And now why would I tell you that?" I tried to get up to go back to my seat but he held me tight.
"Why did you kiss me?" he asked.
"Because I wanted to."
"You can't just go around kissing people when you want to, especially when they have their fiancé right next to them, sleeping," he said and I looked at Sydney and Viktoria they were both asleep. Thank god I closed the curtains earlier.
"Well why did you kiss me back?" I asked him.
"I am a men and if a girl this beautiful throws herself at me, I can't help it."
I just glared at him. He is so annoying. I kissed him again and he kissed me back. I wanted to be like this forever, him holding me tight, me kissing him. We broke apart and I rested my head in crook of his neck.
It relaxed me and I felt safe here. I don't know what will happen but I do know one thing: I can't live without him and I still wish there is a way that my kingdom can be saved and I can be with him. I don't know when, but I fell asleep in his arms.
DPOV
I just can't believe Roza. I know she loves me, a lot, more then her life and never wanted to hurt me, but she is making the wrong decision and I have to put some sense into her.
I can't tell how happy I am, her being in my arms right now. I have missed her a lot and I had to control myself to not go into her chamber every night. I feel so bad for my behavior towards her. But I had to do what I had to.
The night everything finished with us was the night I planned everything. I would get my Roza back. I know it hurt her so much when I said I wanted to marry Sydney and talked about having kids with her, but again I had to do that.
Sydney and I don't love each other. She is like a sister and the night we broke off everything, Sydney and Viktoria saw me coming out of Roza's room. They asked me what I was doing this late in her room and that was when I told them about our secret.
Not only them, but Roza's other ladies as well as Christian and Eddie, who are dear friends of mine, too. That night we made a plan that Roza would not be going to Russia alone and I would do everything to get her back.
It was Christian who suggested that I made Roza jealous and came up with the idea to bring Sydney with us to Russia and ask Roza's permission to get married. Sydney, of course, agreed on playing in this game. Roza's face was priceless when I said we both wanted to get married. She was shocked and hurt was written all over her face and it hurt me to be the one to hurt her.
But I loved it when she jumped on me and kissed me. I have missed her so much and I am going to make the King pay for all the pain he has caused both us. Roza is right, I have evil plans and I would succeed in them and the King would wish that he never had laid eyes on my Roza.
"So what is going on?" Viktoria asked. When did she wake up?
"Yeah Dimitri, I thought we were going to have a lots and a lots of kids?" Sydney teased me. When did they both wake up?
"When did you both wake up?" I asked them.
"Oh, when Rose started to talk to you," Sydney said.
"So both of you never slept?" I asked and both of them nodded and giggled. These girls!
"Yeah we wanted to give you both some time to talk, and it is nice to see our Queen in the arms of her knight in shining armor," Viktoria said and both of them laughed. I just shook my head.
"But I got to say it was fun teasing her," Sydney said.
"Yeah, but it was more fun hearing them fighting," Viktoria said.
"God we are so mean," I said.
"Oh come on, we are not. You got to kiss her for what we did," Viktoria said. I just shook my head at them and tightened my hold on Roza. I don't want to let go of her right now. I kissed her on top her head.
"So do you think we would be able to make the King change his mind?" Viktoria asked.
"I don't know. He has planned this out very cleverly. If he doesn't change his mind I would just have to kill him then," I said.
"Would you really kill him?" Sydney asked.
"Yes, I would if I have to. Kings die. And then Prince Paul Ivashkov would take over the throne and he likes peace, just like his father," I said. I would kill him if I have to because I can't stand seeing Roza give herself to the King.
Both of the girls started talking to themselves. I was lost in my thoughts about Roza and was prying my heart that I don't have to kill the King and he would just get in his stupid head that he is doing everything wrong and settle on giving Turkey peace without marrying Roza.
I put Roza back in her seat and kiss her on the forehead. A smile pulled up on her face and seeing this smile after such a long time warmed my heart and brought a smile on my face. I sat back in my seat and watched Roza until sleep came to me.
