The Lost Queen -Book 1- Alden

29. Stuff and Things

I sit up on the couch and check my phone. 9am. 

"Good morning my princess." I walk over and kiss her on the head. "You're looking less grey today. And your skin seems a bit softer. Maybe we should get you some lotion. I bet you would like that."

"What's lotion?"

"SHIT!" I nearly jump out of skin.

"Sorry sir." The queens servant stares at the ground.

"It's ok. I didn't know you were here."

"Yes. I am quite sneaky sir. But what is lotion?"

"It's a cream you put on the skin. It adds moisture. I'll send a guard out for a couple bottles later so you can try it on her. I'm going to go get some breakfast now."

"Ok thank you sir."

I grab some scrambled eggs and other stuff and sit down with Jenny. "Looks like the guards got most of the dressers and beds put together last night."

"Yea I think they did too and this place is so clean. The servants are so happy. It's nice being here."

"What time are your parents coming in?"

She gets a big smile on her face. "11am. Less than 2 hours. I am so excited."

"I bet. Did you pick out a room for them to stay in? Or do they get to fend for themselves like everyone else?"

"Actually they are bringing a rv. I told them they could keep it close to the castle."

"That's actually a smart idea. We should have all brought rv's. Would have been more comfortable than being in here the first few days."

"Yea, those first days were rough. But it doesn't seem so bad now. Lots of extension cords to step over still. I guess they are waiting to update the medical floor until we all get out of it. I guess you and the queen will be moving over to the royal wing. I don't know if the rest of us will go to dorms or somewhere over by the royal wing. Dorms are quite far away from the royal wing, so I'm not sure how that's going to work."

"We'll get it figured out."

She nods. "Yea, we always do."

I shove a piece of bacon in my mouth. "Going to go take a shower. I'll see you about 11."

She smiles at me. "Ok."

At 10:45 me, Clark, and Victor, are standing at the top of entrance hall steps.

Jenny is bouncing up and down with excitement by the front door. "You're all here to meet my parents?"

Victor laughs, "Yep."

Clark leans towards me and whispers. "Yea, it has nothing to do with the fact he was one of King Kennian Sarris's advisors."

The 3 of us laugh quietly.

"Ah they're here. You 3 be nice. Clark fix your shirt, the side is untucked."

Victor shakes his head at Clark. "Wow you embarrassment. Still learning how to get dressed?"

"At least I put on a nice shirt. You're in a t-shirt."

"Well I didn't realize this was a formal event."

"Guys be nice. And Victor fix your sock. The one fell down and it looks ridiculous."

"Now who's the embarrassment?"

I roll the sleeves up on my button down shirt. "Apparently I'm the only one of us who knows how to get dressed."

I get 2 dirty looks.
