Chapter 30

King George pov

Everything was alright. I have successfully conquered everything. My plan worked well. But after the boy named Alex entered the Palace, everything has turned into a mess. There is something about that boy. My only daughter Florence had been kidnapped by someone. It must be his plan. And I still didn't find that stupid princess Aniya. My soldiers had said that they killed her. But I don't think so. She is still alive. I believe that. And I think that this Alex is her spy.

I also told Alan to keep an eye on Alex. He ordered our men to follow him. But we didn't found anything about that boy. So I stopped thinking about him. He also saved my wife's life once. The boy is intelligent and obedient. Maybe I was thinking wrong about him. I couldn't find any clue about him.

But the previous day when Nastasia's jewelry was stolen, Alan searched everyone's room. He searched Alex's room also. Alex wasn't in his room. Alan didn't find the jewellery in his room. But he found something else. He found a gorgeous dress. And it was a girl's dress. When he returned to the Palace, I called him in my room. A soldier took him to my chamber.

"You go now." I said and the soldier went out of the chamber.

"King, you called me?" Ale asked me. I was sitting in his desk and Alan was standing beside me.

"Yes, have you heard about the stealing of the Queen's jewellery?" I asked him.

"Yes, I have heard about it. You still couldn't find it?" He asked me.

"Yes, a maid had stolen the jewellery." I replied.

"Oh, then why did you call me?" He asked nervously. I stood up from my chair and walked to him.

"But when Alan was searching your room for the jewellery, he found this dress." I said and Alan showed him the dress. I could see fear in his eyes.

"I can see that it is a female dress. What was it doing in your room?" I asked him. He was trembling in fear.

"It is not mine. It was my mother's." He said.

"This looks very gorgeous. How could your mother own it?" I asked. He got nervous.

"My mother was a servant of the previous Queen. My mother was very obedient to her. So she gave her the dress as a gift." He replied.

"OK you can go now." I said.

"Can I get back my mother's dress?" He asked before leaving.

"OK." He went out of chamber with the dress. He thought that I believed his story. Does he thinks that I'm stupid? I was the commander of this Palace. And I never heard that Queen Julie has given any dress to her servant. I thought that he was an innocent boy. But no! He is not. I have to be careful about him.

"Knock knock." Suddenly, someone knocked at the door.

"Come in." It was Alan's soldier.

"King, a girl wants to meet you. She said that she wants to tell you something very secret about Princess Florence. So I came to you first." He said.

"Took her here." I said. Who could be the girl. Is it Princess Aniya? Maybe she has kidnapped my daughter and now she came here to blackmail me. If my idea is true, she will die today. Let her come. The soldier went out and took the girl and left my chamber. The girl was covered in a black cloth. I couldn't see her face.

"Who are you?" I asked. She removed the cover from her face. I was surprised to see her face.

"Florence! My princess." I ran to her and hugged her.

"Where were you? We were very worried." I said.

"Father, I have a lot things to tell you." She said.

"OK dear, come sit here." I said and took her to a chair. I gave her a glass of water.

"Who kidnapped you?" She finished water and I asked her about the kidnapper.

"Alex." She replied.

"I knew it. I knew it. There was something wrong with this boy." I said angrily.

"Not boy father, She is a girl. The girl you were looking for. She is Aniya, Princess Aniya." She said. I jumped at her words. It means Princess Aniya was in front of my eyes for all this times. And I was searching for her here and there. I couldn't believe my ears.

" Are you sure? " I asked surprisingly.

"Of course, your adopted son Frank also knows about her. And he is helping her. They two always visit to a master. I can't remember his name now." She said.

"Can you tell me the master's location?" I asked her.

"His hut was in the eastern forest. But for some reason, he transferred his hut from there. I can't remember the current location. When I ran away from the Palace, it was too dark." She said. So it is the matter.

"King, should I tell about Princess Florence to Queen?" Alan asked.

"No, not now. If you tell her, everyone will know. And then Frank and Aniya will ran away. First, take them to me." I said.

"OK." Alan said and went out of the room. After a few minutes he came back. He took Frank and Aniya with him. Then closed the door. They saw Florence in my chamber. I could understand their fear.

"So, do you have something to tell?" I asked them. They looked nervously at me. They became speechless to see Florence.

"How can it be possible?" Frank whispered to himself.

"I know everything now. You two can't survive now." I said.
