Eleanor was beyond happy when she woke up the next morning. She woke with a smile on her face and she remembered the night before. Jasper still loves her. Although she never doubted that he loved her, it was nice to get the reassurance. Her phone buzzed. She hoped it was Jasper.

It wasn't. It was Sebastian asking her to lunch. Eleanor replied but politely declined. She planned on spending the day with a certain bodyguard. She just had to make one quick detour first.

Eleanor knocked on the head of security's door and saw James sat at his desk with Sara Alice beside him.

"Hey Foxy, I need a favour." She said as she made her way into the office.

"Princess!" the young girl shouted when she saw Eleanor.

"Hey sweet girl, we still need to have our catch up but right now I need to talk to your dad, is that alright?" Eleanor asks the young girl.

Sara Alice nodded her head, gave Eleanor a hug and skipped along out of the office.

"What can I do for you Eleanor?" James asked while sitting on the sofa by the wall and gesturing to the Princess to do the same.

"I need you to give Jasper the day off. You need to tell Robbie that he's sick or its an emergency. Please can you do that for me? He can't know that Jasper will be with me." Eleanor pleaded with the man who was like a father to her.

"I presume this means that you and Mr Frost are on speaking terms again" James said

Eleanor smiled.

"Why can't His Majesty know you're spending time together again?"

"He has something over Jasper and has created all these rules for him. I love my brother but he's not the same since he came back from the island. He's different now" She replied

"I suppose spending nearly eleven months on an island will do that to you. I'll sort something out with your request. I'll get someone to cover for him but that does not mean I can't stop His Majesty from asking questions, you do know that?" James said/

"Thank you, thank you James. I owe you one" She said happily, giving James a hug.

"I think you owe me a few at this stage Princess"

Eleanor smiled at him and started to make her way out of the room.

She stopped at the door.

"James, you know the library where Jasper and I exchanged letters? Is there security cameras around there?" She asked

"Yes. I think there is one directly outside the door and one by the fireplace, why do you ask?" James said, wondering why she wanted to know this.

"A letter I put in there for Jasper on Christmas Eve went missing, Jasper claims he never got it and I want to know if someone took it on purpose or accident."

"I'll look into it"

"Thank you"

Eleanor's next stop was the staff quarters where Jasper's room was located and tried her best to not draw attention to herself. She did not want it getting back to her brother that she was down by the staff quarters. She lightly knocked on the door.

Jasper answered the door, already dressed in his work suit.

He pulled the Princess into his room to make sure no one saw she was there.

"What are you doing here? I have to get to work soon" He said, looking into her gorgeous eyes.

She pulled him into a kiss and a hug. It felt so good for her to be back in his arms. She was his and he was hers.

"Get changed, we're going out. You have the day off and I'm not going out with you looking like you're my security detail. You're not, you're my boyfriend"

Sebastian was summoned to the King's office shortly after 10am.

"Did you ask her to lunch?" the King asked him.

"She turned me down, she said she was meeting up with Imogen today" Sebastian replied.

"Oh very well, just keep trying. She needs to get over Frost quickly. It's what is best for her. I arranged for her trip away so she would get over him and its not working. It was bad enough when I took that letter form the library. He was bad for her, it was for her own good"
