Chapter 12
Helena's Point of View
A few day's after our encounter with Lucius and Cyrus I got a call from the police. They informed me that thanks to Ted's evidence on Cyrus they were able to formerly charge him with murdering the King. They were waiting for a trial date. As I ended the call I felt relief wash over me because I knew Lucius and Cyrus could no longer hurt my family. However my happiness didn't last long as Cyrus's idiot daughters raced into the room.
"I'm Queen now." Penelope declared.
I rolled my eyes at her stupidity.
"No Darling, I am still the Queen. Did dear old daddy not tell you?" I questioned.
Both her and Maribel looked at me confused.
"He didn't get Liam and Eleanor's blood tested. Which means that they are still next in line to the throne." I informed them.
Looks of horror crossed their usually dopey faces as they stared at me.
"You are lying!" Penelope hissed.
"Am I?" I smirked.
"I tell you what why don't you call the doctors, ask them if Liam and Eleanor donated blood." I added.
She glared at me.
"Just because the blood wasn't tested before doesn't mean the results will change!" She cried.
"Either way I can assure you, you will never sit in the throne. Your stupidity would ruin this country." I replied.
Unable to respond both girls sighed dramatically and stormed out of the room. Almost killing Eleanor as they did. She turned to watch them leave, clearly amused at the fact they were upset.
"Only awake and already doing what you do best." She laughed as she came to join me.
"Only to those who deserve it." I commented as we sat down.
Eleanor smirked in response but became quiet very fast. I could sense there was something she wanted to say, but she seemed nervous about it.
"Spit it out." I stated, as she looked at the floor.
"Huh?" She replied.
"Whatever is bothering you? Tell me." I said.
She eventually looked up at me as I waited for her to reply.
"Mum would you be mad if I said I wanted to leave for a while…." She trailed off.
I looked at her confused and could see she was genuinely asking.
"What? You mean like move somewhere else?" I questioned.
She nodded in response, breaking eye contact as she did.
"Honey of course I wouldn't mind. If anything I think it would be good for you. You need to get away from this circus. I assume Jasper will be with you?" I pressed.
A small smile crossed my daughters face as she reached over and pulled me in for a hug.
"Thank god I thought you would say no. Yes me and Jasper will be together." She assured me.
"Good, I'm happy you finally found a good guy. Someone who treats you like a princess." I smiled.
"But for the record I will miss your sarcastic comments, moodiness, occasional outburst oh and lets not forget the headlines. What will I do without seeing you on the front cover of ever paper in town!" I joked.
Eleanor pretended to glare at me as she pouted.
"There is always FaceTime, and I can get myself in the American headlines if you want." She smirked.
"I think I can handle not seeing you in the papers!" I laughed.
"So where in the world are you going?" I asked.
"Vegas!" Eleanor grinned.
"Ahh the Jasper from Vegas story. Liam mentioned that." I replied.
"I mentioned what exactly?" Liam's voice came from the door.
Turning around to see him I wasn't surprised to see Ophelia attached to his arm.
"Liam, Ophelia." I greeted as they walked over and sat opposite us.
"Eleanor was just telling me how she and Jasper are taking a trip. Looks like it will be just us for a while." I told them.
However I didn't miss the way they looked at each other and I knew he was here to tell me the same.
"You two going away to?" I sighed.
Suddenly realising I was going to be alone in the Palace for a while.
"We are going after the blood test results. Depending on the results depends on the length of the trip." Liam informed me.
I nodded in response.
"So you will be leaving soon, the results are due today." I replied.
"That's the plan. Mum I hope you don't mind, I didn't know Len was planning a trip to." Liam cried.
I couldn't help but smile at his concern. This was the first time since the twins were born that I didn't want them to be elsewhere. We had never really had a good relationship until now and I didn't want them away from me. On the other hand I didn't want them staying because of me. I wanted them to be happy with or without the crown.
"Liam I don't mind honestly. You and Ophelia deserve a break, the same as Eleanor and Jasper. I think I can handle being on my own for a while." I assured them.
Just at that my phone rang. I pulled it out and read the caller ID. It was the results. I took a deep breath before answering.
"Your Majesty we have the blood test results." The doctor said.
"Ok?" I replied.
"There not what you were expecting…" He trailed off.
"Ok?" I asked, confused at his lack of information.
"Your majesty have you ever heard of twins with different fathers?" He questioned.
I was in shock, was he telling me Eleanor and Liam had different dads?
"I don't think so?" I whispered, still trying to process what he had said.
"Well it is very rare, in fact there is more chance in winning the lottery I would say. However in the case of your children this is the case. Princess Eleanor and Prince Liam have two different fathers." He explained.
I didn't know what to say or do. My mouth fell open as I held the phone to my ear. Eleanor who had been chatting to Liam and Ophelia gave me a concerned look.
"Mum you ok?" She asked.
I ignored her as I finally found my voice again.
"So…..Who is…..I mean…" I trailed off.
"Whose father is who?" The doctor finished for me.
"Yes." I replied.
"Princess Eleanor is the biological daughter of King Simon." The doctor told me.
I dropped the phone only faintly hearing it smash on the floor…..
Until next time ;-)
