The police officer knew that Belle Rose wanted to stay at Hohenzollern Castle after she had recovered, and he knew that she wanted to show her parents as well as the man who they had picked for her to marry. She is in charge of her life, and she wants to be with the man she wants to be with instead of the man her parents have picked for her to marry.
The police officer nodded his head, and he spoke. "I will not speak to your parents, Fatima's parents and the man who they have picked to have you as his wife. Is there a reason why you are against your parents, and why not speak to Fatima's parents?" Belle Rose nodded her head, and she replied.
"My grandparents have told me and informed me that they want me to be with the man who I have chosen to be with as they want me to end the traditions that my parents have grown up with. I want to surprise my parents as they have no idea that their parents have told me that I am the only one who can bring to the end of the traditions and tell them that their parents want me to end the traditions."
"My grandparents are alive, and they live 5 minutes from the school I go to. Fatima's mum is my mum's best friend, and if she hears that I am here instead of being at home. She will tell my mum that I am here, and she will demand that Fatima tell my parents where I am. Fatima promises me that she will not tell my parents, Ayers and her parents, where I am. I want to make sure that she has kept the promise I made her two nights before the school trip here. I am guessing that Fatima is at Mrs Sprocket's house, and I don't know how long she is going to be there."
The police officer understood, and he responded. "I will contact my colleagues in France, in the town that you are from, and I will ask them not to contact your parents, Fatima's parents, as well as the man that your parents have picked for you to marry."
"I will also ask them if they can speak to your grandparents, and my colleagues can start questioning your fellow students. But can I take a photo of the knife wound so everyone who is going to be questioned can see the wound?" Belle Rose nodded her head as she removed the duvet and lifted her pyjama top. Prince Willem slowly lifted the bandage up as the police officer gasped as he saw the knife wound and got a camera out. The police officer took the photo, and Prince Willem carefully placed the bandage back into place.
Belle Rose let go of the pyjama top, and Prince Willem placed the duvet back over her. The police officer turned the camera off, and he put it away. Belle Rose took some deep breaths as she looked at the police officer, and the police officer bowed before Prince Willem.
The police officer stood up as Prince Willem stood up, and Prince Willem spoke to Belle Rose. "I will be back as I think that the police officer wants to ask me some questions as well, and I better let you have a rest." Belle Rose nodded her head as Prince Willem walked out of the bedroom with the police officer, and she placed the pillows back on the bed. Belle Rose carefully lowered her head down to the pillow, and she was cautious as she didn't want to reopen the knife wound again.
The police officer closed the door after he and Prince Willem strode out of the bedroom. Prince Willem took the police officer far away from the bedroom as he didn't want Belle Rose to hear what they were saying, and the police officer spoke up.
"Your Highness, first off, thank you for allowing me to come here and question you as well as Belle Rose. I understand why you are here, and I want to know what happened from your point of view." Prince Willem knew that the police officer was speaking the truth, and he replied.
"You are most welcome, and I have to start on the day that the school that Belle Rose was with arrived at the hotel that they were staying at. They arrived at the hotel last Friday, and I was allowed to contact one of the teachers I am giving the school group to come here yesterday. I spoke to Mrs Sprocket, informing her that the school trip could come here. I have no idea what they did on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. They arrived here yesterday just before lunch, and they did the ground first before they came inside of the castle."
"The tour guide, Annabelle, showed them the castle, and she had four guards to make sure none of the students wandered off. Annabelle had finished the castle tour as she was about to lead them out until I showed up, and Mrs Sprocket had all the girls stand in front of me. I remember the girls' names: Anne, Ellie, Elizabeth, Harper, Leah, Lilly, Naomi, Nora, Ruby, Zoe, Fatima and Belle Rose. Belle Rose was the last girl to be introduced to me, and she bowed her head as I stared at her."
"Fatima could tell that I had my eyes on Belle Rose, and she pushed Belle Rose forward towards me. Belle Rose stared at Fatima, and she saw that I was walking towards her. That is when Luke pulled the knife out that he was hiding secretly, and he shouted. 'I am not going to let you be anywhere knew Belle Rose at all because she is going to marry someone else.' He charged at me, but Belle Rose quickly stood in front of me, and she got stabbed instead of me. Luke let go of the knife, and he realized the mistake that he had made. Belle Rose fell backwards, and I caught her in my arms."
