She walked him to his car and the guard opened the door for him. Then he sighted a young man, when he was ruling Naples. He was his personal guard. “Call that young man.” Henderson said.
Amelia turned to see the person, who asked to be called. “Seems like I have to take back to the house. I wanna have a few word with someone.”
“And it’s getting cold. I can see you shivering, but you will pretend to be fine.” Henderson said.
“You know i would always say that am fine.” Amelia said, smiling. “Let’s go in.” Henderson said. “Ladies first.” He added and Amelia lead the way and they arrived at the bedroom.
She raised the duvet and laid on it. He made sure she has slept off before leaving the room. He kissed her forehead and whispered some sweet words to her ears.
He walked out and met the young man. “Let’s go for a walk.” Henderson ordered. He nods.
“I want to assign you on a very important job. And I believe that you can do it properly.”
“Yes. Your Majesty” He replied with a bow. “You see the Queen. I want to believe that you know a little about her.”
“Yes, your majesty.” He said. “From today onwards. You will be her personal guard. You have been one to me and I believe you are good to do this job. Ensure that she is safe. Make sure the securities are always with her.”
“She’s very stubborn. And pure hearted person.” He added.
“I will do everything you say your majesty.” He said. “Jerry!” Henderson called. “Yes, your majesty.”
“I’m counting on you.” Henderson said and walked to his car. The guard opened the door and he hopped in, they drove out of the palace.
Amelia opened her eyes. Oh yeah, she wasn’t sleeping. She did it because she wanted him to go home on time.
Henderson arrived very late at the palace, it’s not like it’s the first time. Miranda has awake waiting for him.
“Queen mother. You are still awake?” He asked and hugged her. “You should have spend the night there. I’m sure Amelia must have asked you to spend the night there.”
“How did you know, Queen mother?” He asked. “I know. True love never lies. Just that you’re too stubborn. It’s only your word or nothing.”
“Oh com’on Queen mother. Amelia and I who’s more stubborn?” He asked, with a folded arm waiting patiently for answers.
“You are more stubborn.” Miranda respond. “Oh com’on granny.”
“Oh yeah! What if something had happened to you on your way to the palace?”
“Queen mother. Nothing will happen to me again.” He said, but she looked away. He understood and apologise to her.
“It’s okay. You should call Amelia and tell her that are you at the palace. Don’t make her stress herself.” Miranda said and headed upstairs.
“Alright, Queen mother.” He yelled and brought out his phone. “What if she is sleeping, of course she was sleeping before I left.”
He didn’t think much again on this, he called her and she quickly picked up smiling.
“Hi Babe.” He muttered. “What’s up? Have you arrived at the palace?”
“Yeah babe. I thought you were sleeping the moment I left.” Henderson said, like a whisper.
“I wanted you to leave and get to Rome on time, that’s why I pretended to be asleep.”
“Nice one. Granny was asking me about you, in fact she was the one who asked me to call you and tell you that am home.”
“Oh. How is she?” Amelia asked. “She’s fine. She is missing you as well.”
“I miss her too. Have you seen Richard?” She mumbled. “Nah. He should be asleep by now.”
“Alright, when he wakes up in the morning, tell him that. I love him. Please don’t let him watch movies lately.” She mumbled and sniffed.
He nods and smiled at her words.” He loves you too. I will do my best to make sure he’s good.” He replied.
“Alright, good night. Have good night rest. I love you.” She said. “You too. I love you too.” He mumbled and hang up.
THE NEXT MORNING
Amelia took a walk around the palace alone and the past incident kept coming to her head as she tried her best to release them out of her head. It was just impossible.
She remember her parents special spot, her brother and her brother’s wife. It sadden her the more, she saw a bench and decided to take a good rest. She turned and a saw a young man, standing.
She looked away from him and wonder what he’s doing here, this morning. “It’s too early to guide me” She muttered as she noticed that someone was following her.
“I’m sorry, your majesty. Am only doing my job.” He replied with a bow. She sighed softly and stood up, she continued walking. The young man didn’t leave her to walk alone.
She stopped walking and turned to him. He bow his head, of course he wouldn’t dare stare into the Queen’s face.
“What’s your name?” She asked. “Jerry..” He replied. “Looks at me, when am talking to you.”
“I dare not to stare at the Queen’s face.” He replied, still in that position. Amelia nods, looking around the corners.
“Is this how you will guide me? I don’t even know you face.” She muttered. “I can’t look at the Queen’s face.”
“Look at me.” She ordered and immediately he looked at her, but not her face. She stared at the young man in his early 30’s.
“Who asked you to guide me?” She asked and glanced at him.
“Your Majesty, it’s my duty to make sure that you’re safe.” Jerry said. “Oh! Wh@ťěver.”
“Do i need this whole thing. It’s too much.” Amelia said, referring to the securities on ground.
“It’s not. Your Majesty. If anything bad happens to you. I promise you my head.” Jerry said and bowed to her. She wasn’t looking at him all these time. She turned and look at him at the same time wonder what he mean by. His head is hers.
“Do you have any idea of the rubbish you just vomited?” She asked, with a whole seriousness in her.
“Please Your Majesty. Forgive me if I have said anything wrong, but I will serve you with my whole life.”
“Get out.” She commanded and he bowed, before leaving. “Ashh… Goodness this is not happening.” She yelled and walked into the palace.
“Your Majesty. I have been looking for you.”
“Any problem?” She asked, looking at her. “No, your majesty. Breakfast is ready.” She said with a bow. “Alright, thank you.” Queen Amelia muttered and the maid left.
