Chapter Text
Since being appointed at Wilhelm's bodyguard after the devastating loss of Prince Erik, it has defiantly taken a toll on the Wilhelm, I mean I have known Wilhelm since he was little, and to be working so closely with him, so much happen to this boy in such a short time I feel for him. All my job is to, make sure he isn't in any danger, but after the last few weeks spending time with Linda and getting to know her, with travelling to Bjarshtaf a few times, along with accompanying from a distance Wilhelm and Simon on an afternoon walk every now and then.
I have noticed that Simon and his family was the thing that kept Wilhelm afloat ever since the passing of his brother.
This makes it ever more depressing that their privacy was violated and all the circumstances that have now meant they are separated. the dreadful day when Wilhelm denied being with Simon and I then accompanied Wilhelm to Simon's house. I didn't hear the conversation to not be rude and eavesdrop, but leaving the residence with Wilhelm's barely holding it together I can only sense that it was their final conversation for a while.
The winter holidays started yesterday as we drove Wihelm bake to Drottingham, I cant help but worry about him.
I have one more week of work before have my Christmas break, then a week off for Christmas then I'm back here. I really hoped this winter break doesn't destroy Wilhelm too much. he lost his brother, and now he lost Is on and his family too.
I've been outside his room since 6am when my shift started and it's be soo quiet; I swear I could hear a pin drop.
a few more hours of later, I don't known where time went not that I did much but time flew by. Wilhelm comes out of bis room, looking worse for wear, as if he just woke up, he looks so tired and pale. I ensure to not make my presence known let him walk a fair way ahead before I start to follow. He almost reaches the kitchen and I stand a few meters away from the open door. I don't know what he has done all day, but I worry for him, first day of winter break and this is the first meal he has had today. If he keeps up this pattern, things can only get worse.
After about 10 minutes he leaves the kitchen with what looks like a piece of toast. Starting to head towards his room, I keep further back to not startle him.
On the way back to his room, he must have crossed path with the queen as I hear her yelling at him about being missing for day and needing to attend meetings. Starting to feel guilty I didn't check on him earlier today regarding those meetings; I am brought back to the present with the queen and prince consort walking briskly passed me.
"good evening Malin"
I nod at them, then continue towards Wilhelm's room, I make it just in time to see him close the door so gently and quietly.
Back to my post outside his room, waiting and worrying about him.
it has been about 2 more hours of sit;ence from his room, I known it is not my job title, but I start to fear the worst.
I knock on his door 3 times loud enough but not too loud to startle other staff. no response...
I knock again, still to no response my heartbeat is rapid, beating out of my chest. I cant think of anything but the worst.
opening his door slowly, I notice his room is mostly in darkness, expect for a phone light on the other side off the room, right near the door to the bathroom.
walking over to the phone, I suddenly am overwhelmed with grief, looking down at Wilhelm and his arm which is now red with his blood, I can see bone.
"Prince Wilhelm??"
no response.
