Chapter 16 - But why are your parents forcing you to marry someone who you don't want to marry.

Mrs Sprocket nodded her head, and she replied. "I better let you go, and I keep Fatima safe as well as keep an eye on her. I wonder what is going to happen to Belle Rose while she is at the castle, and I hope that she enjoys her time." Mr Godwin nodded his head, and he responded. "I hope that Belle Rose does enjoy her time at the castle, and I hope that this will teach her parents a lesson. Good-bye, and thank you for letting me know."

Mrs Sprocket spoke through the phone. "You'll welcome, and I hope that Belle Rose's parents will leave her alone. Good-bye and keep safe." Mr Godwin and Mrs Sprocket hang up at the same time. Mrs Sprocket saw Fatima lying on the sofa, and Rocket placed a blanket over her. Mrs Sprocket strolled over to them, and they stared down at Fatima as they knew that she was trying to get her head around what had happened.

Meanwhile, at Hohenzollern Castle, Belle Rose coloured the picture she drew before the school trip, and Prince Willem knew he wanted to ask her. Prince Willem took a deep breath in, and he questioned. "Belle Rose, what on earth is going at your family's home?" Belle Rose place the colouring pencils away, and she answers. "My parents are treating me like a 16-year-old teenager rather than a 22-year-old woman, and they are trying to get me to marry someone who they have picked as well as who I don't want to marry as I have never heard of him and never met him at all."

Prince Willem saw that Belle Rose was telling the truth as she wiped tears away from her face, but it opened many more questions, and he asked. "But why are your parents forcing you to marry someone who you don't want to marry at all as you never heard of him or met him before?" Belle Rose knows that she has to tell him, and she rejoins. "Because they want to spend more time with each other rather than spending time as a family with me, and they want me to follow the traditions that they grew up with. But they don't know that their parents, aka my grandparents, have told me that I am allowed to be with the person who I want to be with, do the things that I want to do and see anything that I want to see instead of doing the things that I have been told to do."

"My parents don't know my favourite colour, flower, food, what I like to do in my spare time, and my dislikes. My parents don't know a thing about me as they spend so little time with me and never take me on holiday with them. When they are at home, they completely ignore me and pretend that I am not there when I am. I tried my hardest to spend time with them, but they are not around all the time."

Prince Willem could tell that Belle Rose is hurt from what her parents have done to her, and he asked, "Is there a relationship between you and your parents or not?" Belle Rose shook her head, and she said. "There is no relationship between my parents and me. My uncle and aunt know what is going on. They said that my parents should help me with homework and be there for my first. Like the first step, first word, first day at school and first tooth."

"But instead, my parents are spending time with each other and going to high society parties. At the same time, they have been spending more time with each other, my uncles and aunts. They have been helping me learn how to ack like a young lady if I end up in high society; I did say 'if' and my aunt's husband is from the Netherlands."

"So he has been teaching me Dutch, the history of the Netherlands and the Netherlands Royal family. But as my uncle and aunt have families of their own. I try to leave them so they can spend family-time with their children as I don't want to be a burden to them, so I stay with my next-door neighbour whom you talked to if I can stay here." Prince Willem saw that Belle Rose had made a clear point, and he knew straight away that Belle Rose didn't want to return home to her parents as well as to get married to Ayers against her will.

Prince Willem looked at Belle Rose, and he spoke up. "So, I am guessing that you don't want to return home to your parents because of what is going on and that you don't feel comfortable with what they are doing to you." Belle Rose nodded her head, and she stated. "I don't want to return home to my parents because they only think of themselves, and it has been forever since the last time that my parents have done some family time with me."

Prince Willem knew that Belle Rose's parents were pushing their daughter to do something that she would not be thankful for, and he could tell that she was hurt by it. There was a knock on the door, and Prince Willem said. "Come in."A police officer followed a staff member stroll into the bedroom, and he bows low towards Prince Willem. Belle Rose knew that the police officer was coming to question her about what happened the day before, and she felt nervous and scared.

Prince Willem moved everything on the bed onto a table, and the police officer bowed his head towards Prince Willem as Prince Willem stood up. The police officer raised his head, and he glanced at Belle Rose. Belle Rose took a deep breath in even though it hurt like a hot red iron being thrust into Belle Rose's body, and she nervously and calmly returned the stare at the police officer.
