Liam and the guards were on their own boat searching for their king and queen. The sun was rising now. Everyone was tired but they were determined.
"What's that?" A guard asked pointing an unfamiliar object in front of them.
"Go there" Liam ordered the sea captain.
"It's a boat" Another guard said.

They reached to it. The boat was wrecked and flipped over.
"Does this boat belong to you?" Liam asked the captain.
He observed the number and the logo on it. He looked down and nodded.
Liam sighed.
"Does this mean that they have dr-drowned?" A guard asked fearfully.
Liam closed his eyes and remained silent.

Niall and Hannah reached Henry's house.
"Welcome and once again I apologize"
"It's okay. Really" Niall said for the millionth time.
"Amy we have guests" Henry told his wife.
"Hello welcome" she said politely.
"They're the king and the queen of Ireland"
"Oh my apologies" Amy said bowing. She struggled a bit since she was pregnant.
"No need for that" Hannah said.
"We're not in Ireland now, are we?" she said kindly.
Amy shook her head smiling shyly.

"We won't stay long, we just need to drink some water, and I need a telephone" Niall said.
"Of course. Of course. Here you can washup over there" Henry pointed at the Guest room.
"Thank you" Hannah said and walked over there with Niall.

"Their boat got wrecked and flipped over. Faith brought them here. Otherwise Ireland would've been without a king and queen." Henry said.
"That's so scary" Amy whispered.
"It is"
"Grab some new clothes for them, I'll make them something to eat. They must be starving" Amy said.
"Yeah. Yeah. Okay" Henry nodded and went to grab some fresh clothes.

Henry walked toward the guest room. He knocked.
"Sir I brought some clean clothes for you and the lady" he said behind the closed door.
Niall stepped out.
"Thank you. I appreciate your kindness" Niall said smiling while taking the clothes from Henry's hands.

After a few minutes Niall and Hannah walked out of the room looking fresh and cleaned up.
"Hopefully their comfortable" Amy told them.
"It's perfectly fine" Hannah said.

"I made you something to eat. Obviously it's not going to be like the great foods in the castle but it's something"
"I'm sure it's going to be way better than the castle foods" Hannah said.
Amy smiled at her kindness.
They sat on the floor since Amy and Henry didn't own a dining table.
Just when they sat on the floor a little girl ran to Henry.

"Oh look who woke up" Henry said happily.
"Did you say hello to our guests?" Amy asked.
"hi" the little girl whispered shyly.
"Hello. What's your name?" Niall asked.
"Wendy"
"Nice meeting you Wendy. I'm Niall and this is my wife Hannah"
"Hello" Hannah said smiling at her.
"Hi"
"She's our first child. She's six. We have a five year son, Alex, who's still sleeping and another one in the way" Henry said happily.

"So Wendy do you go to school yet?" Hannah asked combing her hair. They ate their food and rested for couple of hours. Niall and Henry were talking while Hannah and Amy were sitting at the other side.

"no" Wendy replied.
"Oh. Will you go next year?"
"No. Daddy said I can't go because we need the money for his depth"
Hannah looked at Amy.
"She means installment. We bought this house from one our acquaintances" Amy explained looking at the ground.

Hannah looked at Wendy who was busy playing with her doll.
"Do you want me to braid your hair?" she asked Wendy.
Wendy nodded.
Hannah began braiding her hair.
From the afar Niall was looking at Hannah with a warm smile on his face and adoration in his eyes.
