Chapter 13648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtPGK2Ef53
Camila knew even though she agreed to marry Reynold, she couldn't. Lord Reynold needed to persuade either Elizabeth or King Apollo to let them marry. Then, Camila needed to go to her parents and have them except him. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQrGrkmq4k
These steps aren't as easy as you would expect. Camila used to have feelings for King Apollo and Elizabeth doesn't like Reynold. Don't forget that Camila's parents want her to marry someone to help their economic situation. The last thing Camila wanted was to make her parents make her feel like a back stabber. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSsQGQi0Nh
Camila went to Lord Reynold and told him of what needed to be down. "How am I going to persuade Elizabeth to let me marry you?" asked Lord Reynold. "If I even show my face to her, I would be beheaded and so would you." 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGzyZZbAuO
"Maybe we should ask the king then." said Camila. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9fp7x12Ya
"I don't thing the king would want to help us. He is a selfish brute that only thinks of himself." said Lord Reynold.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG4SZadxkW
"Don't worry, I can handle the king. Lets just say he owes me." said Camila. She didn't want to tell Reynold how the king owed her, maybe it would affect their relationship. Where Camila was raised, a male wouldn't want a woman that was already with someone else. Camila really didn't do anything with the king, but Reynold would expect it.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgia9pcm4Sx
In the opposite side of the castle, the king called upon Elizabeth. She walked into the throne room like she could own the place, which filled the king with hate. "Elizabeth, if you want to marry my son, you need to agree to these laws."648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi9rtSjX5i
"What kind of laws are you talking about?" asked Elizabeth. Her mother never mentioned to her that the king would have any laws. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjpY7eZuIq
"Here is the list of laws." said the king pulling out a scroll. "Number one states that you would have to let me rule over England.-" 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwf6Rh3k44
"Before I agree to these rules, can I speak to my mother?" asked Elizabeth. If Elizabeth agreed to these rules, her country would be destroyed. Apollo would change all of the stability of England, making the country crumble and Elizabeth would be held responsible. If Elizabeth didn't agree to the rules, she would lose the alliance with Rome. Elizabeth didn't know how this was wrong, but she knew her mother would be angry. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAtYZM1iuQ
"You may." said the king rolling back up the scroll. Elizabeth click-clacked out of the throne room. Elizabeth went to her scholar and demanded him to write her mother a note. The note asked for the presence of Queen Charlotte, Elizabeth's mother. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTuxEdgwve
Later that day, Camila marched into the throne room. She went up to the king and curtseyed. "Your highness, I came to ask you if I could marry Lord Reynold." 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Bx6eSpKs
"Why would you want to marry him?" asked the king jealously. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlm39y2g36
"Because I love him. Please allow us to marry." begged Camila. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXerJFNqTy
"Why should I? You knew I liked you, but you thought it was ok to ask permission to marry another." 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUpZ56zN9G
"You knew the feelings we had for one another couldn't grow. It wasn't like I could be your mistress, you already have one. I definitely couldn't marry you, you are married to the queen." 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD5FHncESM
"For you my dearest Camila, I would let you marry him." said the king. This seemed strange to hear for Camila. The king never stopped till he got what he wanted, why did he give up so easily? Camila kissed his hand and thanked him a thousand times. 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofKy6zXQoo
The next step in getting to marry Lord Reynold was getting her parents to accept.
Camila sent a letter to her parents regarding her engagement. How would you tell your parents you were getting married? Camila poundered on this for a long time before getting what she wanted to say. She wrote in a letter telling her parents that she was asked to marry, and wanted to bring him by to see if they liked him.
The next day, Camila got the reply. Her parents would happily have him over. Camila was thinking about what they would say when hey find out what he was like.
That afternoon, Camila and Lord Reynolds took a carriage to London. This was the first time Camila had come back to London after Elizabeth going to Rome. As the carriage rolled into the town, she could smell the salty and unpleasant smell of London.
To you this would make you turn around and leave, but the smell was welcoming to Camila. She could now remember when she was a child running around the streets of London. Camila didn't know until now that she missed her family and home.
Lord Reynold and Camila had totally different feeling towards London. While Camila was happy, Lord Reynold felt worried. London was a place that he had once been to to sell his wears. Also, that city holds his bad past, a time before he knew Camila.
The carriage stopped at Camila's parents' cottage where they were standing right outside. Camila's parents wore dirty peasant clothes that was worn out from labor, and cheery faces. Camila had believes they were excited to see her, but the hard truth was that they wanted to see the money she had bought.
Camila got out of the carriage and embraced both her parents excitedly. Compared to her parents, Camila looked like royalty. "My Camila, such beautiful clothes you wear and carriage you ride in." Said her mother pulling Camila away from her.
"Now honey, where is your fiancé?" Asked her father who was really happy to see her. Out of the carriage came Lord Reynold. He walked upon the reunited family and shook hand with the father.
"I sir am the fiancé." Said Lord Reynold with a bow. From the looks of him, Reynold looked like he was upperclase. The group entered the cottage and took seat in the litle living room.
"So, Reynold tell us about yourself." Said Camila's dad. Reynold told the father that he was born in an upperclass family and was the smallest of four children. He told of how he left France to go to Spain and sell his artwork. His artwork wasn't making a lot of money, so he started selling wears on the side.
Camila's parents were bewildered when they heard of Lord Reynold's situation. They loved their daughter, but they wanted her to be able to care for herself. Camila's mother motioned for he to come outside with her. When they were alone, Camila's mother said that she couldn't be with Reynold anymore.
"Why mother?" Asked Camila. She should have seen this coming, but stl had that shocked voice.
"When I sent you to Rome, I told you that you needed to marry to help the family." Said her mother.
"Mom, I know. Its just, I love him. All of the other suitors were boring and I didn't feel a spark with them." Said Camila.
"Camila I do love you, but the money is more important than the love. If you marry for love, your life will be filled with suffering. If you marry for money, you will be happy and so will your family. Don't make the same mistake I made and marry for love."
Camila could now remember the heartbreaking moments of her childhood. She remembered when she was in bed at night, and could hear her parents talking about how to get their next meal. She could remember when her father had to become a bar tender to get more money.
Camila nodded to her mother. Then, Camila's parents said farewell to Camila and Reynold. Reynold and Camila didn't say anything on the way back home. Camila looked out the window the whole ride home, and thought of how to tell Lord Reynold what they had was over.
Later that day, Elizabeth walked down the corridor that led to her bedchamber. What she found was surprising. "Hello, darling." Said Elizabeth's mother who was sitting on her bed waiting for her.
