" It's an honour to have you in our presence your majesty!" Samuel imdiately bowed down seeing the person. On the other hand, Kate's mind went blank for a second before she followed his lead and waited for a ti to say sothing.
" You rascal. It's been years since you last ca to see . Stop being so dramatic about it." The Queen stood up angrily glaring at him.
Him having the freaking Queen as his maternal grandmother was a blessing but he never ca to see her or even ask for any help. She hosted his coming of age celebration after which they only t a couple of tis over the years mostly in passing in other extravagant parties.
It also didn't help seeing his face all across the city, he was after all a famous actor coupled with the fact that Margaret never failed to praise his accomplishnt like a snob, she was quite frustrated with her own children and grandchildren for never asuring up to his level!
" I am sorry your majesty. I didn't know you will be-"
" I said cut it out! We are all family here, you can call like you always do." She smacked his broad shoulder which didn't even make him flinch.
" I didn't know you will be attending the party, grandmother." He stood up and gave her a gentle smile. She was just like he rembered. Unlike other Royal mber, he felt at ease when talking to her.
" Why? Can't I go when you send an invitation to the Palace?"
" I didn't an it like-"
" I know what you an brat! I don't need to repeat myself." She kept cutting him off. He was among the few that didn't falter when facing her since he was little. She always felt there was sothing about him that made him special.
" By the way, don't you want to introduce her to ? Can't you see she has been feeling uncomfortable just standing around like this?" She pointed at Kate who was almost shaking. She was not afraid just overly excited to et the Queen. How many people had the privilege to talk to her privately like this?
" Ah, this is Kate, my girlfriend." He took a step back putting her in the lilight.
" I am honoured to make your acquaintance, your majesty." She didn't know what to say so she just followed what he did. Unlike him, she couldn't be familiar with her. It could be seen as a sign of disrespect.
" No need to be so tense around . I have always been curious, do you know that he has been loitering about with other girls? I always hear him hanging around with a different one every month." She asked while laughing but Samuel's face twitched. She never failed to disappoint going right for the his throat!
" I-i..." Kate didn't know what to say when she was speaking to her in a frank tone. Wouldn't they be labeled as criminals flaunting their weird life in front of a royalty? The Queen kept looking at Kate from top to bottom with curious eyes.
" Grandmother, it's seems like your teasing habits went up a level. People would wonder if you are going senile with age." he spoke up seeing Kate in a pinch. What's with everyone's obsession with his private life? What's more she sounded like she has been keeping tabs on him?
" Ho ho, I not going to die so soon. Not until I see so cute great-grandchildren. When are you going to present on to ?" She said with a smug on her face.
" Now, now, you don't have to antagonize my grandchild like this. If you want to see great-grandchildren, you have plenty in your family right?" Fortunately, Margaret ca to their rescue. How could she just sit letting her big sister frighten younglings like this?
" Humph, they are cute but I know Sami's child would be the cutest. Just look at his handso face. Is it wrong for to demand a little gift from him? He is at that age right? Does it make sense to keep dating different girls without thinking about the future?" She went into a short ramble. He was already successful, what's harm with starting the family at young age?
" I think you misunderstand sothing. He is not dating different girl...he is dating all of them?" Laura thought it was right mont to pile on her son. She even laughed a little like she was proud of his shenanigans!
Robert and other male mbers were a little embarrassed seeing her majesty's brain malfunction. She thought she misheard but seeing the calm smile on other's faces made her realize they were not joking about it.
" Darling.." Robert grabbed Laura's hand signalling not to embarrass their son.
" What? She is right. I am sure it must be hard for you." Mary popped up like she always and exclaid loudly.
Queen was here? She didn't give a damn. She hated such formal parties but seeing Samuel bring soone new and her being cowering in fear and nervousness activated her motherly instinct. Kate who saw her walking toward them thought she was talking to Samuel.
He didn't gave her a general idea about how big his family was. There was also a short session about important figures nas and their general personalities. Among them, she found his granduncle, Donald and his grandaunt Patricia most exciting.
They were almost never ntioned whenever soone talked about Rothschild family but when Samuel ntioned them she could see a light in his eyes like he was talking about his idols.
He found out that Donald was a huge inspiration when he first picked up writing. After which he ntioned them having two children. Peter, his uncle, he didn't have any nice things to say about him. It was sa for his aunt Mary, he especially told her not to talk about her age and instead of calling her aunt always refer to her as his big sister. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-
Seeing the sa person to co to his defense, she felt like they were close. But Mary completely avoided him and went straight to her lifting her up.
" How dare you put such a cutie in a difficult situation?" She grabbed Kate's hand and said it out loud.
" Eh?"
