What.

A.

Night.

I'm shattered.

I'm on my way back to Lucas house and i yawn.

"You were great talking to everyone" Izzy says

"I don't know how you do it" Lydia tells me

"I like talking to people, I find it less intimidating talking to adults and children than people my own age. It's quite weird actually" I say

"Do you think you'll ever have kids?" Izzy asks me

"I don't know, if it's the right time yes" I say

"Any clues who your mystery husband is?" Lydia asks

"No, not yet. Im sure something must come up in the next few months. It has to, or else it's just... I don't know. They have to give us time to get to know each other don't they? I... it's just so confusing" I say

"Tell me about it, when we go see our grandparents it's like a different culture. Everyone slaving over you. At least you and your family acknowledge people who work for you, they just get ignored by my grandparents" Izzy says

"I guess it's also to do with their generation as well, people were brought up differently back then. How often do you go and see them?" I ask

"Every couple of years, our parents aren't on the best speaking terms with all of them" Lydia says

"Have any of you thought of going over and ruling?" I ask

"I have" Izzy says

"You have?" Lydia asks shocked

"You haven't?" Izzy asks, "come on it just makes you think, you have the chance to change people's lives. I mean look how much Lily has done. It brings incredible opportunities"

"I never thought of it like that" Lydia says

"When exactly did your parents leave?" I ask

"A couple of months after he was taken" Izzy says and i nod

"They couldn't handle it, all of the nosey people and they just left and here we are" Lydia says

"That's so sad" I say

"I know, it's hard for them but we do our best to make them proud" Izzy says and i smile

"Speaking of proud, how about we disappoint them and go to this party?" Lydia asks

"I don't know Lydia it's getting late" Izzy says

"Plus it's Sunday so no we're not going" Izzy adds on and Lydia sighs

"You just want to see your boyfriend" Izzy says

"I do not!" She says

"Trouble in paradise?" I ask

"No it's just, after meeting some people it's made me think" she says

"Who?" I ask

"Your brother" Izzy says

"My brother as in Leo?" I ask and she blushes

"When did this happen?" I ask

"When you were talking to everyone" Izzy says

"Is it okay?" Lydia asks

"Yeah sure, I'm not bothered but it will be a problem if you break each other's hearts. But why had your head been turned?" I ask her

"There's been some rumours going around that he cheated on me, I asked him and he said no but I just don't trust him. Plus, it's not like a proper relationship, we're only like fifteen but it's just not the same. I think we're just dating cause of the sake of it not because we actually want to date each other" Lydia tells me

"How long have you been dating for?" I ask

"Just over a year" she tells me

"Wow" i say

"Yeah" she says looking out of the window

"If you want to call it off, call it off Lydia. And if your worried about Leo, don't be. There's no royals except for you who are his age, plus it's not like he's out talking to girls every night" i say

"Surely he must meet girls some how" she says

"Well yeah obviously how do you think I do it?" I ask and they both laugh, "usually at parties or occasions, the younger ones will hang out together and people get drunk and things happen"

"Talking from experience?" Izzy asks

"Just a little" I say and they both laugh.

"You make it sounds like so much fun" Lydia says

"I'll admit, it's not for everyone but I love it. People usually like it for the money and the benefits that come along like fashion shows and stuff. But I love it for the people, I do it so I can make a difference and I think I'm not like other royals around the country. I don't live by a rule book, they all lead from the head. I lead from the heart and doing what is right for my people" i say

"Your going to be a great queen Lily" Izzy tells me

"I sure hope so"
