Yipes! Ok, first thing, that smut scene: *wipes sweat from forehead* Wow. :eyebrows: Second thing: Clark can't be dead! See, this is how good you are--I actually want Lana to be happy. Who'd have thought? Great job; you have me waiting on the edge of my seat to find out what happens next. More soon, please!
Stupid Sean. He needs to die. But not before he rats out Victoria and Helen and they get the death penalty for what they've done.
And Clark - eh - mixed feelings. I don't mind him in this fic, so I kind of feel bad; but at the same time - he's kind of turned into a jerk instead of a friend to Chloe on the show and I can't help my emotions about that seeping into it. But, I'm sure you wouldn't kill him off after all the matchmaking you've been doing with him and Lana.
Please write more soon.
Oh no! clark can't die...
but it seems most likely he is, esp wif ur ominous description...
Ok my dears Chapter 49 of the fic that just won't end...... :tongue: ..Fiona

Chapter Forty Nine – Sean Talks
“Dead,” whispered Lex. “He can’t be, not Clark.” The room fell silent and Chloe couldn’t help the tears that now flooded her eyes. She glanced at Lana and Lillian and noticed they were crying themselves.
“What exactly happened?” asked Lex.
“Please highness, it wasn’t me I just….” Stammered Sean.
“Tell me what happened?” shouted Lex, “or I swear I will execute you myself right here and now.”
Sean flinched and struggled to get up from his knees. The look in Lex’s eye scared Sean more than anything hew had ever seen before, and didn’t doubt that the prince would indeed execute him here in the throne room.
“I…I escorted Lady Bryce to visit Lady Hardwick,” he began. The mention of Victoria’s name caused everyone in the room to gasp. “While we were there, Lady Hardwick’s servant Justin and myself came upon Duke Kent listening in on the conversation. We escorted him to where the ladies were and after a brief conversation Justin knocked the duke out. On Lady Hardwick’s instructions he was thrown into the ravine at the back of the Hardwick estate. I can’t confirm if he is dead, but…but the way his body landed and the fact there was no movement would seem to indicate that he was dead.”
Chloe released Lana’s hand and hurried over to Lex. She wrapped her arm around his waist. “Take a few men with you and go search the ravine he is talking about,” she said to one of the guards. He bowed and quickly left the room. “You, take a contingent of guards with you and go arrest Lady Victoria and her servant,” she said to the other guard. He followed his companion quickly out of the room.
Despite what they had just heard and the fact that Clark might be dead Chloe couldn’t help the happy feeling that coursed through her body when she told the guard to arrest Victoria.
More guards entered the throne room. Two of them hauled Sean off the floor. “Ride out and see if you can meet Duke’s Ross’ coach I don’t know if he is in danger as well, but I’d rather not take any chances,” said Lex to one of them. “And the rest of you head out to Lady Bryce’s cottage and make sure she doesn’t leave.”
The throne room was a flurry of commotion as guards rushed around.
“What else aren’t you telling us?” asked Chloe as she faced Sean again.
The young man closed his eyes for a moment. ‘Might as well tell them,’ and inner voice spoke up, ‘it’s not going to make any difference now keeping it to yourself.’ He opened his eyes again and focussed his gaze on the princess.
“I helped kill Dominic,” he said. “He wasn’t trying to escape, Lady Hardwick had everything organised. He thought I was helping him to escape but when we got to the main door, Justin was waiting and he killed him. Also it was never Count Fordman who gave the over for you to be hurt princess, it was Lady Hardwick who told Dominic he could…he could do whatever he wanted to you.”
“So it’s always been Victoria,” said Lionel, shaking his head. “She has been the cause of all this.”
“I will kill her myself,” said Lex, “there will be no mercy.” Chloe tightened her grip on Lex’s waist and he leaned into her.
“Is that everything,” said Lillian to Sean, “or do you have more tales of treachery and treason to tell us?”
Sean took a deep breath and turned to face the queen. “Lady…Lady Bryce was *hired* by Lady Hardwick to…to kill the prince and princess. I am so, so sorry majesty I never thought things would get this bad…but…but Lady Hardwick she is…she is mad.”
“Take him away,” said Lionel. “We will talk to him again later.”
When Sean and all the guards left the room a silence descended on everyone. Each lost in their own thoughts over what had transpired. Lex wrapped his arms around Chloe and hugged her tight. “I love you,” he murmured in her ear. “I love you too,” she replied softly.
Chloe glanced over at Lana and saw that the poor girl was as white as a ghost and looked ready to faint. Lillian noticed this as well and made her way over to the brunette. “Take a seat my dear,” she said to her.
Suddenly two guards burst into the room.
“Apologies majesties,” said one very out of breath guard, “but Lady Bryce is gone. And the guard watching her is dead. We’ve searched the surrounding areas but there is no sign of her.”
“Have you got word to the gates to make sure she hasn’t got through?” asked Lionel.
“Yes majesty, and they have been closed. We currently have guards all over the grounds looking for her.”
“I’ll help look for her,” said Lex.
“No,” exclaimed Chloe. “Lex, she’s here to kill us you have to stay here.”
“Chloe is right,” said Lionel. “The two of you need to stay within the palace until she has been apprehended. That’s an order Lex.”
“Yes sir,” mumbled Lex, and Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and buried herself in Lex’s arms again.
“Chloe you look like you should go and lie down my dear,” said Lionel.
“I will soon,” she replied. “I want to hear how Clark is first.”
Before anyone could answer the door opened again and another guard came in. “Majesties we found duke Kent, he’s...he’s not dead.”
A collective sigh of relief sounded around the room. “But,” continued the guard, “he is badly injured. He had a nasty head wound and his leg is broken. We have him in a coach and it’s on the way back. The physician has been notified.”
“Thank you,” said Lionel, the guard bowed and left the room.
“I’m going to wait for him,” said Lana, “and make sure the room is ready.”
“Yes my dear you go,” said Lillian with a smile. Lana smiled weakly at them all and left the room.
“I want to be present when the bring Victoria in and you talk to her,” said Chloe, drawing gaps from Lex and Lionel.
“I don’t think so sweetheart,” said Lex.
“I DO think so,” she replied. “Lex, please I *need* to be there I have to be there. Please.”
Lex looked into her hazel eyes that were currently pleading with him. He cupped her cheek, “ok,” he relented. “Thank you,” she whispered.
“Your father and I will be there as well Lex,” said Lillian, her tone indicating that there would be no further discussion on her statement.
“So Lady Hardwick will be hit with the full force of the Luthor royal family,” said Lionel with a smile, “and the Sullivan-Luthor,” he added, smiling at Chloe.
The others smiled back Lionel, grateful for the lightening of the mood. The four of them left the throne room, closely followed by guards. They were stopped as they headed towards the room Clark was being put into. “Majesties, highnesses," said a guard. “We have Lady Hardwick and her servant is custody. They are both currently in the dungeons. Also there has still been no sigh of Lady Bryce.”
“Thank you,” said Lex. “Let them stew in there for a while.” He smirked at the thought of Victoria languishing in a dungeon. ‘Good enough for her,’ he thought.
The guard left and they continued to see Clark. When they got there Clark was lying unconscious on the bed, Lana was seated beside him, holding his hand and Toby was hovering over him.
“Poor Clark,” whispered Chloe.
“Chloe now that you’ve seen Clark, please go and lie down,” said Lillian. “You look quite exhausted. You too Lex.”
With a sigh Chloe nodded. She took Lex’s hand and they made their way upstairs to their bedroom. They lay on the bed and wrapped themselves around each other.
“We’ll get her,” said Lex softly and he felt Chloe nod against his chest. He closed his eyes and tightened his arms around her, and both fell into a light sleep.
