Seventeen

It was only when Harleen told Andrew that she wanted to be alone for a little while did Andrew finally leave Harleen to herself. However, he made certain that there were two guards in front of her bedroom door to ensure her safety. He highly doubted anyone else in his Court would attempt a similar act of such violence against his Queen, but if such a thing were to happen, he would feel upset with himself if he simply sat back and allowed something like that to happen again. He wouldn’t – couldn’t.

Andrew didn’t understand Nigel’s frame of mind whatsoever. Why would a respected member of Andrew’s Court do something like this? It was one thing to disagree with his choice of a Queen, but Nigel should have spoken to him about it, not punish her for something she couldn’t change, couldn’t help. In fact, if it wasn’t for Harleen’s uncle Edgar, she would still be at Newport Harbor High School, dating that tool Rosco, and eagerly anticipating the arrival of her college acceptance or rejection letters. But somehow – some would call it fate – everything fell into place. Now Andrew couldn’t imagine his Queen being anyone else but the woman he had.

His feet led him down the south staircase and into the dungeons, where Nigel was kept. Andrew couldn’t help himself. He needed to attempt to interrogate Nigel. Maybe Nigel was so mad he would talk about it. At least, that’s what Andrew hoped. He squared his shoulders, standing tall, as Nigel’s cell came into view. Another two guards were in front of it, preventing any rescue attempts – whether they were from Nigel on the inside or any accomplice on the outside – from taking place. When they say Andrew, both guards tilted their head forward, giving him a proper brow without stepping out of line in any way. Andrew returned the bow, but his eyes were only focused on the pitiful prisoner currently in a sitting position, his back leaning against the cobblestoned wall.

“Leave us be for a few minutes gentlemen,” Andrew order in a crisp, cool voice. His eyes narrowed when he saw Nigel look up at him, and Andrew locked his jaw, wanting Nigel to speak first if the prisoner chose to speak at all.

The guards nodded, knowing better than to question their king, and disappeared down the small hallway – enough distance between them to ensure they did not overhear a conversation they were not permitted to listen to, but close enough to aid their King should he give a shout, or anything that revealed he was in distress. Andrew didn’t even watch them go. His eyes were fixated on the man before him, the man behind the bars. Nigel, too, remained silent, and it was only after minutes passed, did he finally say something.

“And what do I owe this grand honor to, Your Highness?” Nigel asked, obvious sarcasm dripping from his rich, silky tone. His blue eyes flashed but Andrew wasn’t intimidated. He wasn’t afraid of anything.
