Chapter 13

Helena's Point of View

I woke up to find someone fanning me. I didn't even remember fainting, despite the obvious fact that I had. Eleanor, Liam and Ophelia were all looking at me concerned.

"Mum what happened? Are you ok?" Eleanor asked.

I pushed myself into the sitting position and recalled the last thing the doctor had said. I felt light headed even at the thought of it. Never in a million years did I expect those results. Alistair being their father would have been a better outcome, but sadly that was not the case. My daughter was the next Queen of England.

"Mum?" Liam pressed, concern evident in his voice.

"I'm fine." I whispered.

None of them looked convinced as I got to my feet and headed for the door. Eleanor tried to follow me but I gestured for her not too.

"I'm fine, I just need a little air." I assured her before leaving.

I quickly found Ted, the only person I could now trust with my secrets. He jumped slightly when I grabbed him from behind.

"Your Majesty what is it?" He asked.

"The results, I got them back." I whispered.

"And?" He gasped.

I pulled him into the room beside us and shut the door. I had to check it was empty before I confided in him.

"Eleanor, Eleanor is Simon's daughter." I blurted out.

He looked at me confused.

"But there twins…..aren't they?" He finally asked.

I nodded.

"Apparently in rare cases twins can have different fathers." I sighed.

A look of bewilderment came across Ted's face as he let the news sink in.

"Huh….." He mumbled.

"I know what your thinking." I stated.

"How the hell is Eleanor going to rule this country? To be honest I don't know myself. I never thought it would happen." I admitted.

"Eleanor is smart, brave and incredibly caring and loving. She has all the qualities of her father with the added benefit of her mothers cut throat attitude. I think given time and advice Eleanor will make a great Queen." Ted replied.

I was shocked by his response. Eleanor had given him a lot of heart ache over the years. It was nice to see he still had faith in her, something I needed to have. Now more than ever.

"Have you told her yet?" Ted asked.

"Not yet, I'm trying to get over the shock myself. How in the world am I supposed to explain this to them?" I cried.

Ted gave me a sympathetic look.

"I wish I had the answer to that your Majesty." He replied.

Eleanor's Point of View

After mums strange behaviour I headed back to my room to pack for my much anticipated trip. We were leaving as soon as mum told us the blood test results. I was mid way through packing my second bag when Jasper burst into the room.

"What is wrong with everyone today!" I complained as he slammed the door.

"Do you know?" Jasper yelled in a panic.

I looked at him confused.

"Did you take my old stash?" I questioned checking my hiding spot as I did.

Seeing my old stash of pills in the same place I had left them told me he wasn't on drugs. So I looked at him confused. He was sweating which suggested he had run to my room.

"Jasper do I know what?" I pressed.

"What the blood tests revealed?" He cried.

"No? There not back yet?" I said.

He looked at me wide eyed and disbelieving.

"What?" I yelled, annoyed by his behaviour.

"Len the results are back…" He trailed off.

"How do you know?" I questioned.

He looked at the floor, seemingly working out what to say.

"Um I overheard your mum and Ted talking." He mumbled.

"Ok? What did they say?" I asked as I approached him.

I placed my hands gently on his chin and forced him to look at me.

"Jasper what did they say?" I whispered.

"They said you and Liam have two different fathers. You're the King's daughter and it sounded like Liam is Alistair's son." Jasper explained.

"Jasper stop being stupid, you must have heard wrong. Where were you anyway?" I asked.

"I'm not wrong I heard your mum say it! I was outside the bloody room, almost got caught when she opened the door!" He explained.

I didn't know what to say or do. So I stared at him open-mouthed until I found words.

"You're telling me I'm the Queen of England? The fucking Queen? As in the heir to the throne?" I yelled, finally considering what he said.

Jasper nodded, still in shock.

In that moment it all made sense. The phone call, the weird behaviour the fainting. Mum had got the results while we were in the room and she hadn't told us!

I was furious, all I could think was why did she keep this from us? Did she not think I was capable of handing the news? Did she think I would be a bad Queen? Ruin her reputation? I had to know the answers. So I stormed passed Jasper and went in search of my mother.

I had just arrived at her bedroom door when it opened. She looked startled when she saw me.

"Eleanor what a surprise." She mumbled.

"Do you not have something to tell me?" I hissed.

Her eyes became wide and she knew I knew. She shifted uncomfortably as I stared at her.

"Len I was going to tell you as soon as I worked things out…." She began to say but I cut her off.

"Worked things out? Like what? How to get me out of the job? How to ensure you remained Queen and not me? Do you really think so little of me?" I yelled.

"Eleanor calm down that isn't what I meant. All I was referring to was how to break it to the press not to mention your brother. He always thought it was his responsibility; he practiced for this when Robert died. Now it is all taken away from him, I want to make sure he is ok." Mum explained.

"So you think I can do it? You trust me?" I questioned, still not convinced.

Mum walked over and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Of course I think you can do it. You're my daughter aren't you?" She smiled.

I couldn't help but grin in response, it was the first time in forever she didn't put me down. She had faith in me!

"Thanks mum." I replied.

"Your welcome, and Eleanor…...Next time tell Jasper to confront me first before carrying the gossip." She stated.

"You knew he was there?" I smirked.

"I'm the Queen Eleanor, it's my job to know. You will learn because I will show you everything I know. You will be the best Queen there ever was in this family!" Mum assured me.

"If this is what you want...that is?" Mum added before leaving me to my thoughts.

How will Liam react? :-O Until next time ;-)
