New Home

The woman led us toward a huge mansion. The guards at the post seemed surprised to see the princes.

One of them tried to hug them and he asked for their initials on his handkerchief.

I was still angry at Brandon and Xavier for keeping their identity from us.

The house was painted light blue. From afar, I could see a fleet of cars in the car park being washed.

The maids and butlers nearby all stopped to give us a bow but I knew for sure that the bow wasn't for Senah and I but was for the queen and his sons.

The lawn was mown diligently. I didn't know why but my attention was on the cars. I could see brands of cars being washed.

The outside view of the palace was beautiful and I knew for sure that the inside would be much more fascinating.

I hadn't been wrong when I said the inside would be more fascinating. The chandelier glimmered like it was made out of diamonds.

The walls were painted white and the couches stood out with their brown color.

I didn't even notice the center table in the middle and nearly tripped when Xavier used his shoulder to support her and prevent her from falling.

I started blushing profusely until I saw that he used his other hand to wipe his shoulder where his shoulder touched my arm. I felt a stab in my heart when I saw this.

The woman led us to a room and in there, I saw another man. The woman hurriedly went to his side and gave him a peck.

The way she held the man and pecked him, I couldn't help but think that was her husband, the king.

"Honey, the children are back..." The woman said bubbling with excitement. Her husband looked surprised. He had this look on his face that was like it had been a long time since he saw her smile.

The king hugged Brandon but just when he was about to hug Xavier, Xavier pulled away. The queen seemed to notice it so, she turned back to Senah and I and smiled at us.

"I can see we have visitors as well. I'm King James and I guess you've met my queen, Jamie. What are your names?" The king asked. My sister and I then introduced ourselves.

"Lovely to meet you, Ephreona and Senah. I hope to spend more time with you soon. I wouldn't want to waste more of your time since you just arrived. I'll call some maids to escort you to your room. The queen and I have something to discuss." The king responded with a smile.

"Ladies, make yourselves at home." The queen said.
