Laura's day ended nicely. After a very interesting tour around the mansion with Kilan, she now found herself back at where she was earlier that day, standing beside the carriage Kilan sent.”Thank you Kilan, I had an amazing time. The most I've had for a long time.” There was a radiant smile on her face and her eyes shone with glea.”You're welcome Laura. I should be the one thanking you. I haven't had this much fun at the club. And it's all thanks to you."”You're welcome Kilan." She replied. They shared a quick but heart-felt laugh.”I'm looking forward to spending another spectacular day with you Laura. Seriously, I am going to start hatching activities we can have together.””Now that would be too much. But I'm also looking forward to spending more time with you.” She then climbed into her carriage."Goodbye Laura.”"Goodbye Kilan." He then shut the door of the carriage. The horses neighs and they started to move out of the club's premises.Kilan headed back into the mansion to lo
Isabelle definitely didn't want to stay any longer in Devon. In fact, she doesn't even know what plan she was going to execute here. It's been over a month, and there has been nothing for her to do to help her brother. She was starting to think that her brother was right. It was foolish for her to come here. But there was no going back now.All she could hope for right now is their plan with Gwen. Although it has to be executed slowly, it was still better than nothing.She was in the store room, arranging some of the items in it. The bags of flour, and other food items that were stored in bags, utensils, glassware, etc. The glassware was placed on a shelf, far away from harm's way. When she was done, she brought out a piece of paper to write on.She had received Laura's letter today, and she wanted to send a reply now that she was less busy and out of sight.Dear Laura;”First of all, I am doing alright, no need to be bothered about me. Secondly, I can't believe you've gone through s
”What else is on the list?” Scott asked. He was right beside Isabelle, of course maintaining the three feet rule. He was carrying at least four bags, and it seemed that they weren't even halfway done.”Let me see." She scanned the paper before looking up at Scott."Just a couple more.''She held two bags, one in each hand. Scott let out a sigh. He did foresee this, but he still did it anyway. Anything is worth it in the game of love.”And by a couple more you mean?" He asked,”About ten more things to grab.” He groaned loudly that some of the passersby gave him a strange look.”I know family members are coming over, but all this is too much.” He complained.”I didn't beg you to come with me, did I?””You should be glad I followed you Belle, you wouldn't have been able to do all of these.” He said, signalling to the bags he carried.”So I should be thanking you?””It would be the nicest thing to do.” She rolled her eyes. He was such a dork. She didn't beg him to come with her, but she w
When they got back to the palace, Isabelle was completely exhausted. But she could head to bed yet, she still had tons of work to do. ”You came back early?” Martha said in surprise when she saw Isabelle strolling the kitchen hallway with tons of bags. Martha collected a few from her."Thanks Martha. I had a little help along the way.” ”Good thing, we have to get everything ready quickly.””What is so special about today?””Nothing, but very close relatives are visiting and there must be no mistakes.””Yes Martha, but you have to be calm. You can't be worrying yourself every time at this age.””Don't worry about me, I have been through worse.””Alright, but everyone has a limit." They got to the kitchen, where the chef and a few maids were already there.”Finally you're back with what I need. For once you did something right.” The man uttered.Isabelle's face turned into a frown. 'So she has never done anything right before? With everything the man has made her go through?'"Chop! ch
After giving Princess Ella her precious shoes, Gwen left the royal chambers with a satisfied grin on her face. The first phase of the plan was complete. It was very easy to carry out. In order to get close to the royal family and hopefully the king, Gwen had to start with the easiest member, The princess. The plan was Lisette's idea. Every three months, unused items of the royal members and its workers were collected and dumped into the incinerator room. Now, the maids who have been assigned to princess Ella a couple of times know what to do, and what not to do, and that included that those particular shoes could not be trashed, even though they barely fit her.So Lissette cooked up this plan. She collected all the unused items from the princess's room, plus the shoes and gave the shoes to Gwen. So when the princess started to look for them, she would come out and become her saviour. The second phase is much longer and is going to be tedious. Trying to get into the princess. If this
Two carriages pulled into the palace grounds. The guards who were aware of their very much anticipated guests, opened the carriage doors for the guests to alight.A middle aged woman comes into sight. Lifting her silk gown up, she goes down the steps of the carriage with an air of elegance surrounding her. The sun gives her olive gold gown a brighter shade. Her hair is tied and is covered by a colour slightly similar to olive gold. Her daughter comes out next with a big grin on her pretty face. The young teenager steps out wobbly, but lands gracefully on her feet. Her pink feathery gown had gotten in her way and she tripped on it. ”Can you stop acting immature? Act like a lady for once.””I'm sorry mother." She apologised. The smile on her face faltered after her mother's scolding.From the other carriage, a man and a young man have already stepped out. The elder man goes over to the hospital and the young man with a grimace trails along. He is quite good-looking. A nice chiselled fa
Isabelle was in the barns with Matilda and Lisette. They were discussing their next plan.”The first part is complete, now it's all up to Gwen and her acting skills.””Princess, do you agree with this? Should we be doing this? I mean, we're separating two siblings, all because of our selfish reasons and the elder sister is dumb and filled with jealousy."”Do I have any other alternative? I don't want to hurt Aurora. I mean, she's a good person and she helped me to get the job I needed. But I need to think about myself and my kingdom.””I've already told her this, but she doesn't get it. You're too kind hearted. In wars, you don't think about others, you only think about yourself.””And what happens if Gwen succeeds? She'll turn them against Aurora and then what happens to Aurora? What will become of her?”"Nothing, there will be no big damage caused. Just little whispers of allegations rto reduce their connection with her. And they will trust Gwen more. And it will be better if Gwen
A little girl of around eight years is in her room, going through her closet. Today was a very special day and she was looking for the right outfit."Princess..”"Shh, I'm trying to concentrate.” She said with a finger against her lips. The maid bowed her head, deciding to leave the girl alone."I like this one, but it's to plain.” She picked up one cloth and tossed them aside. She continued for two minutes before the maid decided to speak up again."Princess, if you don't choose quickly, you'll be late. You do not want that, right?"”Yes, but I just can't choose from these thousands of dresses.” She exclaimed.”What if I help you? It will be much faster.” The maid said with a smile. She then walked over to the princess and started to look through her huge closet.”What about this one, it looks very nice.” The maid was holding a pink ball gown in her hands.”I don't want pink.””Alright,” After several more minutes, the girl found one that suits her taste.”Yes, this is the one.” Ther
