A Royal Secret

Chapter eight

Chapter eight: the castle
Wow. All I could think about was how amazing my home looked. It was big but not too big. It was in perfect condition. I bet grandma and grandpa have been looking after it. It's beautiful! "Milly!!!" Ashley jumped up and down. I'm happy she's feeling safer. I don't know what I'd do if Ashley got hurt. I smile. "Well. Want to go inside?" I smirked. "Omg yes yes yes yes!!" She squealed as we both ran into the courtyard.

{Luka POV}
What on earth just happened?! Who were those
guys. All I wanted to do was help Milly. I have so many questions. Where did they go? Who were those guys? Who were the guys that saved them? What did they mean by 'princess?' "Luka . C'mon dude we gotta go." Noahsaid, pulling me away from the window. "Where are we going?" I asked him.

I didn't want to go with Noah. I didn't want to go with any of my classmates or teachers. I wanted to go after Milly and Ashley. "To the hotel. Miss belle said we gotta get to safety then tomorrow we'll do everything we were supposed to do today." He finished before we were both pulled onto the coach. I hope Milly and Ashley are both safe.

{MillyPOV}
I had already gotten lost in my own home. Luckily
For us, Liam was here. Jack had to leave to collect our things from Miss belle and find out what hotel our class is staying at, since Ashley ended up coming back to the castle with me. "Well. A lot has changed since you've been away Milly. But your grandparents haven't changed a thing in your room." Liam smiled as she opened the castle doors. He wasn't lying. There were more photos of me, my Mom and dad. But mostly me when I was a baby.

They were framed in a photo frame with diamonds along the edges. It was really pretty. The halls were covered in marble. It was no longer wood or carpet.The walls and floor was marble. "Milly! Aww look how cute you were." Ashley said as she pointed to a photo with my mothers crown around my neck because it was too big and my head slipped right through. I laughed. "Hey, wanna have a tour?" I asked her. Her eyes widened. "Do I? Do I?! Yes I do omg!" She jumped and started pulling me along.

The first room we came to was the living quarter. We stepped into the living room. Ashley looked very impressed. So was I. It was gorgeous. "This is our private living room. No staff except my ladies can enter. Just the royal family. It's changed since I've been here. It used to have a colour theme of red, white and purple. But I love this." I laugh as Ashley goes to sit down. "Milly, honestly it's amazing. I still can't believe you live here like omg!" She says. I laughed. "Shall we move on?" I asked. Ashley nodded and we headed to the dining room.

This is like the living room. Our private room except staff can come in and serve us." I say as I walk around the room, trailing my index finger along the walls. "Wait. Where is your, like, public living room and dining room?" Ashley asked. I didn't actually know. "Uh probably upstairs." I shrugged and stared at the paintings. There was one of Me, Mother, Father, Grandma, and Grandpa. My favourite photo. "Hey. Can we continue before your father comes?" Ashley asked as she ran to the next room.

The Kitchen. "It's bigger than it seems. Last time, we had a little after party for my 4th birthday and we were Able to fit over 70 people in here." I laugh as I raid the cupboards looking for food. "It's so nice. I would love a house like this. It's amazing. "Ashley said in awh. I smile. "We only had a few more rooms left. Are you coming?" I ran out. Ashley followed me up the stairs and into the half decorated ballroom.

"This is where my ball will be. We normally have celebrations in this room. It's also my second favorite room in this whole place." I say gazing around the room. "What's your favourite?" She asked me. I smirk at her. "I'm glad you asked." I pulled her to the end of the corridor "Welcome to my favourite room in the palace. My bedroom." I say as I flop into my bed. "Woah! It's so beautiful." She says as she joins me on the bed and puts her bags down. "I know. I've missed this place." I say looking around. I've missed playing around with my designs on my designing table, jumping up and down on my bed without making a fuss.

I've missed watching Netflix till an absurd time in the morning. "Okay. Leave your things here. You'll probably be staying here tonight. Anyways, what would you like to see next? The Cinema? The Pool or The Royal Gardens?" I asked her. "Uh, could we go see the pool? I like water!" She squeals excitedly. "Sure. The Pools upstairs with the Cinema so we could see that too." She nodded and headed off to the pool. There were more stairs than I remembered.

We were not out of breath by the time we got up, But by Ashley's expression, it was totally worth the hike. This room hasn't changed either. I designed this room. Father didn't agree with me but Grandma and Grandpa did and I always get my way when my grandparents agree with me. "It's. Soooo. Pretty!" She said. I smile. "Thank you. I designed this room. It's beautiful isn't it." I say.

It was quite cold here. I didn't really want to stay any longer. "When you're ready to leave this room, come join me in the Cinema next door okay?" I say as I leave. A few moments later Ashley appeared by my side. "It's not that big since hardly anyone comes here but I love it." I whisper. "It's so cool. I would love to have a cinema in my house." She laughed. "Okay c'mon I wanna go to the gardens then go find aunt Lexi." I drag Ashley down all the flights of stairs. Once we were there it felt calmer.

It's so peaceful out here. "The Royal Gardens are open to the public and I still feel calmer out here. It's so beautiful and magical. I love it don't you?" I say as I run around the bushes. "It's so nice. I love it too, '' Ashley said. "Where did Liam go?" She asked. "Um, I don't know. I didn't see him leave us. " I look around. "Let's go find him then!" I say as we both run around trying to find Liam .
