Emery
My eyebrows furrow at the sound of my phone ringing, making me let out a deep sigh before glancing back at Emma—who has fallen asleep for the past couple of hours while I've been busy going through next week's activities with the duke.

Emery''It has been ten days,Your Highness. You haven't touched your food. Shall I get you something else to eat? The queen worries about your wellbeing,'' I keep on looking at the glass window; not sparing a second glance at one of the servants. I'm don't feel like I need to consume anything and it has not
Emery''I'm going to Australia,'' Evelyn pushes the door open; instantly catching my attention before looking up at her—leaning back on my seat.
Emery''I don't need your lecture,'' I say without turning around to look at my mother—who'sprobablygoing to start asking me about Hannah and the baby. Then, she's going to ask me about Emma.
Emma''We're going to Australia,'' I say,deadlyserious.
EmmaThe three of us are standing at the front door as I try to look for anything in particular. My eyes won't stop glancing back and forth onto my phone; wanting to make sure that this is the right address and that we are not lost. That would be trouble for us.
EmmaWe stay still for the next few seconds,somehow, I feel like this is the truth that I've been looking for. The way he clenches his jaw in defeat; it shows it all.
EmeryI instantly run down the empty hallway, ignoring the guards that has been guarding this floor; just incase someone barges in to sabotage us. Things are slightly different now,us, royalties aren't able to be in public for too long because we worry about our safety.
EmmaThe happiness. The joy. The sensation.It's all pure and unexpected, something so rare.
EmeryI continue to run after her down the beach, laughing as we keep on running as fast as we can; which I have to admit, she is a fast runner. I'd run after her till the end of the world if I have to—I'd do it, for her and myself.''Slow down,'' I say, trying to catch my b

EmeryI barge into Evelyn's library, resulting in me to see her kissing Andrea; with both of her hands cupping onto his face before turning to look at me in surprise.
Emery''I'm sorry, Cole. I really am,'' I say, patting onto his shoulder; wanting to make sure that I show my sincere sympathy—I have never wanted any of us to turn out this way because I've always wanted the best.
EmeryTodayis the day. Thedaywhere she'll be judged.
Emery''I must say that she's healing quite well,'' The doctor says, referring to the papers in his hands. Those papers are the reports according to Emma's recovering after her miscarriage and trauma—it was bad, before.
Emery''I know what you did,'' I say, closing the door behind me before seeing her actions freeze.Yes, we're far enough from one another and that's great, distance is all that I need; there's no point of closing it.
