Third Person PoV

As Athos walks through the corridor towards Treville's office in the Musketeer headquarters,he couldn't get what Corinne had said out of his head he didn't want her to think he doesn't want the baby,when it is all he can think about lately.He just hopes Treville will understand that Corinne means more to him than this mission.

Back at the palace Corinne is in one of other libraries putting back the books she has finished reading,as she places the last book back on the designated shelve she picks others out to read later by the time she is finished picking books out she has half a pile of them in her arm.Once she is quite content with the amount of books she has she leaves the library struggling to carry the books "fuck"she curses as the very top book falls off the top of the pile and hits the floor with a thud,a huff leaves her lips as she places the books on a small decorative table nearby and picks the fallen book back up "need any help there Corinne?"she hears from behind her she picks up the pile of books again looking over her should at the same time and sees D'artagnan finding it odd for him to be here "erm.. i suppose so,this one keeps falling"she shrugs she lets him take some of the books from her and carries them in his arms "what are you doing here anyways,i thought you'd be still celebrating now you're a Musketeer?"Corinne asks glancing at the young man beside her he keeps side glancing her as they walk in the direction of the west wing staircase which leads to the floor Corinne's bedroom is on "i came to see Constance,Porthos is still recovering from last nights ball so i guess i get a little break before he gets me to drink again"D'artagnan explains Corinne chuckles knowing how Porthos can be, a few minutes of silence passes when D'artagnan turns to Corinne "is Athos not with you today?"he asks the princess nods with a small smile on her face she adjusts the books in her arms before answering his question "he was,he left to go see Treville he should be on his way back soon"she answers casually glancing at a clock that stands by the stairs.

As musketeers pass by Treville's office they hear quite a heated argument coming from inside they just stare at the door for a few minutes before scurrying off not wanting to get in trouble for eavesdropping "you don't listen to her orders you listen to mine! She is not the captain of the Musketeers now is she?!"Treville exclaims Athos sits across from him exasperated the two of the have been going backwards and forwards arguing "No but she is the princess and the last time i checked she outranks you!"Athos fires back he could tell Treville is seething from what he had just said his knee bounces under the table with intense rage "she's already upset enough with nearly being kidnapped I can't leave Paris,I can't leave her not now,not ever"Athos hisses he sighs resting his head on his fist becoming tired of this useless argument.

When Athos comes back Corinne is laid on the couch reading with a blanket around her,she has her legs tucked under her comfortably a very focused look on her face as she reads.So into her book she hadn't realized that Athos is back not until he is literally behind her reading over her shoulder "haven't you read this one before?"he mutters his eyes on the book Corinne jumps slightly her heart racing, she closes the book and looks over her shoulder and huffs when she sees Athos "you scared the fuck out of me!"she hisses her eyes are narrowed as she turns back around to place the book on the spot beside her as Athos moves around to sit next to her she quickly stretches her legs out over his lap "and no i haven't read this book before"she says Athos chuckles placing a hand on her leg over the blanket,his thumb caresses her knee with slow circles "didn't mean to scare you"he states Corinne turns slightly so the side of her head is against the back of the couch the setting sun leaves half the room in golden light,it leaves streaks across Corinne's face making the skin feel slightly warm "what did Treville say?"she asks her voice just above a whisper she has the nervous look on her face again,the thumb on her knee stops moving and Athos leans his head back against the couch same as Corinne "i still have to go,i'm sorry darling"he sighs his thumb now moves in slower circles Corinne frowns her eyes close and she focuses on Athos' thumb "its only four weeks,i'll be gone a month"he says but it doesn't make Corinne feel any better she opens her eyes the look on her face says it all.
