A FEW HOURS EARLIER
Cherry turned and looked at the girl, who had just run off.
She gritted her teeth.
She might be old, but she knew who she was.
She could smell her blood.
She belonged to their bloodline.
"Where is the royal family bedroom?" She demanded a buxom woman.
The woman was Madame Belinda, the main castlekeeper.
She bowed down at her.
"Some guards will take you to your designated room." Belinda said, bowing down to her.
Cherry made a sound of disgust.
"Do that quickly!" She spat.
Belinda bowed again and ushered Cherry to where her room was to be.
A door opened as she entered the hallway, and she saw Coral, her niece.
"Aunt Cherry!" Coral was excited.
She ran to her aunt and hugged her.
Cherry finally released her and smiled down at her.
"My darling niece." Cherry said. "It's been such a while."
