My father stayed in my room for hours and after a while I found out that he locked everybody else out of the room.
I was out for 3 days and my father was doing nothing but sitting at my bedside, he didn't eat or drink anything, he didn't move once from my side. Every once in a while I could hear Gastons voice outside the door getting more and more agitated each visit. My father looked so tired and pale, he looked sick.
"Father... Open the door." I told him, my voice laced with worry.
"No. What if you get near a staircase, or a knife? Find some kind of poison... I'm not losing you. Not after I lost your mother. Your engagement with Gaston is cancelled." he said, I was flabbergasted.
I began to panic "Father! That could mean war!" I shrieked, he looked at me with tired eyes and gave me a weak smile and said "I know that Rosemary. It'll be worth it though, I won't let anyone or anything take you away from me. Not until the day I die."
Eventually Clarita knocked on the door and I got father to open it after some encouragement. When he opened the door everyone was on the other side, Clarita, the triplets, my youngest brother, the servants, and... Gaston. He looked MAD.
He pushed pass my father and waltzed right up to me and got in my face "What. The. Hell Rosemary?! Are you just THAT dumb? Things will be diffrent when we get-" his speech was cut short when Father put his hand on Gastons shoulder and said "There will be no wedding."
Gaston just chuckled and said "EXCUSE YOU?" he looked like he wad going to burst a blood vessel. The triplets quickly got in front of me while Father and Gaston argued.
Gaston was near his breaking point and Theodore just HAD to say something "You know. You're pretty pathetic." Gaston was about to hit Theodore but my youngest brother put a knife right under his arm.
He might still be a kid but he has some GUTS... or issues. Either way, Gaston stormed out of the castle and we followed at a safe distance, he mounted his stallion and was about to ride off but he turned around and yelled "This means war! I'll be back VERY shortly!" he rode off, back to his terrible country.
