Chapter 14
Helena's Point of View
"Liam?" I whispered.
"Liam are you ok?" I questioned.
I had just told him the news regarding the blood tests; he seemed to be in shock. He was standing with his mouth slightly opened as he tried to process what I had just said.
"I-I-I-I…" He trailed off.
"I know it is a shock, for all of us but think about how your sister feels. She never thought this was a possibility, it was just sprung upon her." I sighed.
"And whose fault is that?" Liam snapped, seemingly finding his words.
"Excuse me?" I gasped.
"Don't act stupid mum it doesn't suit you. This is entirely your fault! How could you cheat on dad? How could you get pregnant with another mans child while you were still sleeping with him?" Liam yelled.
I didn't know what to say, I was shocked. Even though I knew what he was saying was true it still hurt me to hear it.
"I know Liam and I'm sorry for what I did. However I can not fix the past all I can do is help Eleanor become Queen and I need your help." I explained.
This seemed to anger him further as he glared at me.
"So you're telling the press? That's it? Sorry Liam your no longer the future king of England, turns out your sister is next in line. You really think Eleanor can handle being Queen?" He replied.
"Liam I have to tell the people, they have a right to know the truth. What would you have me do lie? Say your really Simon's son?" I asked.
The look on Liam's answered my question before he did.
"That's exactly what I would do." He stated.
"Eleanor isn't Queen material, she can barely look after herself let alone a country. You of all people know I'm right, up until recently you pointed it out on every possible occasion." He continued.
"Well thank-you for the support Liam." Eleanor voice came from behind us.
As I turned around to look at her I could see tears in her eyes.
"Len I didn't….." Liam began but Eleanor cut him off.
"Save the shit Liam I heard everything you said!" She yelled before storming off.
"You need to apologise to her, and soon." I said to Liam before heading after Eleanor.
Eleanor moved faster than I thought and I was at her room before I knew it.
I slowly approached her door and knocked, but I didn't get a response. I was about to enter when Jasper came around the corner.
"Have you seen Len?" He asked as he approached.
"No I was just coming to find her, Liam said some things that upset her." I told him.
Jasper nodded in understanding.
"Ahh so you told him the news?" He replied.
"Yes and to say he took it badly is an understatement." I said.
"So he doesn't think his sister can be Queen?" Jasper asked.
"He has his doubts…..like us all I guess." I sighed.
Jasper looked at me shocked.
"I don't have any doubts, Eleanor is great with people. She has more in common with society than any other Royal. She relates to them, in ways you and Liam can't!" Jasper stated.
I couldn't help but smile as he defended my daughter, it was evident he loved her deeply.
"I'm glad she has you Jasper, she needs someone to confide in. Now do you know where she is?" I asked.
"Um no….."He mumbled.
"Well find her, I have the feeling she might do something stupid if we don't." I cried.
Eleanor's Point of View
Fearing the worst after hearing Liam's suggestion to mum I left the palace alone. I had the sinking feeling in my stomach that she might agree with Liam and I couldn't handle it.
I spent most of my life thinking Robert would be King and then when he died I naturally assumed it would be Liam. So when I heard the news that I was in fact next in line I felt excited, something I didn't expect. Of course I was nervous about it but I wanted it. I wanted to continue my father's legacy. I wanted my birth right!
So I found myself alone, outside the BBC office. However I wasn't alone for long, within seconds reports swarmed me.
"Princess Eleanor? What brings you hear? Are you here to tell us what is happening in the Palace? Who is our next Monarch?" The reports all yelled at once.
Moments later the cameras arrived and I decided in that moment to stick two fingers up to Liam. I was claiming what was mine. He had no right to say I couldn't be Queen, how dare he after I supported him when he thought he was going to be King? So I cleared my throat and looked directly into the camera.
Helena's Point of View
An hour after Eleanor left the Palace and we still hadn't found her. She was ignoring calls from all of us including Jasper so we were getting nowhere. However things changed when Liam turned on the TV.
"Um mum…." He trailed off.
We all turned out attention to the screen where a live broadcast was taking place. Standing in the line of questioning was none other than my daughter.
"I'm going to kill her." I hissed as we waited to hear what was going to happen.
"We need security at the BBC studios, Princess Eleanor has been found and she needs her detail." I heard Ted call down his radio before leaving the room.
"You drove her to this." Jasper stated as he adjusted the volume.
Liam shot him a glare just as Eleanor began.
"I'm here to make and announcement. I decided against holding this at the palace because it might come as a shock to you all. Scratch that it will come as a shock…..As you all know recent rumours have been circulating about my brother and I. About the legitimacy of our rights to the crown, a few days ago we got result that's clarified these rumours. Unfortunately I am forced to tell you that my brother Liam is not the son of the late King Simon….As for myself, the blood tests revealed I am his daughter. I am the next Queen of England." Eleanor finished.
"I'm going to kill her!" I whispered to myself …..
Until next time ;-)
