Chapter 24 - I was angry at Luke but sad that Belle Rose got hurt

"Prince Willem stared at Mrs Sprocket, and he asked her something. Mrs Sprocket replied, and I have no idea what they have said. Prince Willem stood up with Belle Rose in his arms, and he carried her away. Mr Alvin helped Mrs Vary get Fatima outside of the castle and away from the spot where Belle Rose was stabbed. The tour guide led us out of the castle, and we were allowed to sit down. I was angry at Luke but sad that Belle Rose got hurt. I had no clue that Luke had that knife on him at all, and it threw me when I saw the knife for the first time."

"I had no idea why Prince Willem was there as I watched Mr Edwin give Fatima a drink, and I couldn't blame him as she was still in shock at what just happened. I saw Mr Redmund walking away from Luke as he wanted to calm down, and Mrs Sprocket asked Luke why he stabbed Belle Rose when he was trying to stab Prince Willem. I have no clue what she asked him, and his response was. The police arrived, and Mr Alvin went with Luke to the police station."

"We got back on the coach, and we went back to the hotel that we were staying at. Fatima had room service, and I knew that she wanted some time on her own. But I was jealous that she had room service, and we weren't given one even though we did have one the day before the trip to the castle."

Rocket knew that he had to tell her the reason why Prince Willem was there at the castle, and he spoke up. "Prince Willem was at the castle as he is mourning the death of his brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece, wife, and unborn child. He was rather about three months away from becoming a father, but now he won't have that chance as his wife died in airplane & car crash along with his brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece. He was allowed to be away from the Netherlands at the moment and spend time on his own as he is now the heir to the throne."

"He heard that your class was going to the castle for a five-day trip, and he allowed your class to have a tour. As he wouldn't let any other school group have a tour, we are trying to work out why your class group was allowed to have a tour when none of the other school groups was allowed. But did you know that something was going on with Belle Rose and her parents?" Anne couldn't believe what she was hearing, and she knew that Prince Willem had the right of staying away. Emma and Kevin were speechless. Anne shocked her head, and she responded. "No, because I thought that Belle Rose would be happy to marry a millionaire."

Rocket sighed, and he replied. "Belle Rose's parents still think they are in the 18th century when they are in the 21st century. They are forcing her to marry someone she has never heard of nor met before, and they want her to follow the traditions they grew up in. They also treated her as a 16-year-old teenager when she is a 22-year-old young woman, and she has enough of being ignored and treated like a teenager rather than a young adult." Anne realizes that Belle Rose doesn't want to marry Ayers, and she wants to be with the person she wants to be with rather than the man her parents have chosen.

Anne, Emma and Kevin stood up from the table. Rocket walked out of the classroom with them as James stayed put in the classroom. Emma and Kevin stayed with the other parents as Rocket walked with Anne to the classroom so he could bring Brad to the classroom. Anne walked into the room with Rocket, and he announced. "I forgot to mention something earlier before Anne came with me that Prince Willem is at the castle because he is mourning the death of his brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece, wife and unborn child. He was three months becoming a father, but he hasn't got that chance as his wife, unborn child, brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece died in airplane & car crash."

"Luke and Anne already know. So does their parents, as my partner and I have informed them? So Brad, can you come with me, and your parents will walk in with us as my partner is already in the classroom?" Brad nodded his head as he stood up, and he strolled out of the classroom with Rocket as he left his bag behind. Brad and Rocket brisked walk to the classroom. Brad's parents are called Hunter and Riley. They stood up as they saw Brad and Rocket strolling towards them. They went into the classroom, and Brad sat at the table with his parents on either side of him as they locked their eyes on Rocket and James.

Rocket took a deep breath, and he asked. "Brad, first of thank you for your time, and I know that you are still shocked by what happened to Belle Rose. But can you recall what happened three days ago and from your point of view?" Brad closed his eyes, and he recalled. "We arrived at the castle by the coach, and we were given a tour around the grounds. We had lunch before we entered the building, and I stayed with the group when Anne, Luke, Nolan and Ruby tried to get into the private rooms."

"When the guards stopped them, they were forced to join the group. We were about to leave the building when Prince Willem appeared out of nowhere, and Mrs Sprocket moved forward. She introduced the girls as they got into a line with Belle Rose last, to him, and they curtsy towards him. Belle Rose had her head bow low towards him, and they stood up."
