The Story of the Royal Castle

Chapter 6 (The Invitation)

(William's Perspective)

"Well, last night there were a lot of stars." William thought to himself for a moment.

"Sir William, please get ready for our castle's 21st-anniversary speech," informed Adrian while coming into William's room.

"Well Adrian, I already told Joseph that I'm having an important date at midnight!" shouted William.

"Then who will go to the speech?"

"My friend Count Damon will be replacing me!" exclaimed William.

(The castle bell ringing at 12 o'clock)

"Um..., Sir William, If I'm correct, you have your important date now." informed Joseph while coming into William's room.

"Would you think I would forget it?" asked William.

(In the streets)

"Ding-dong digging digging dong. Digging dig those dinosaurs. 
Ding-dong digging digging dong. Digging digging digging digging dong." A strange woman started singing...

"Everyone, come, I found something amazing!"shouted the strange woman.

"You can look at what I found," said the strange woman.

Everyone asked "What did you find?"

"I found feathers, teeth and poop, they're all dinosaur fossils!"

The crowd attracted William to walk by them, and then, he suddenly saw Diana sitting next to the strange woman.

"Diana!" shouted William.

"Oh hi William, long time no see!" squealed Diana.

"True!" replied William.

"William, let me introduce you to my mother!" said Diana while convincing her mother this was William.

"Oh, so this woman is your mother?" asked William.

"Yeah, what happened?" asked Diana curiously.

"Oh nothing." replied William.

"Hi William, my name is Agatha, Agatha Nunes, nice to meet you!"

"You can call me Mrs Nunes!"

"I'm a paleontologist. Always digging and researching as you know,"

"I found dinosaur feathers, dinosaur teeth and dinosaur poop just now, those are all dinosaur fossils!"

"Oh how charming, nice to meet you, I'm Prince William, you can call me William!"

"Oh, Diana, you married a prince, what a good girl!" exclaimed Mrs Nunes

"Well, mother, that's the part I want to tell you. I did not exactly marry him, we had, well...drama." Diana spoke sadly while looking down.

"I am truly sorry Mrs Agatha, things just didn't work out between the two of us..." William said sadly.

"Well then, please excuse us both, we have supper to prepare" Mrs Agatha said while getting up with Diana and walked without looking at the Prince.

There was nothing for William to do so he just went back to the castle to get ready.

When William went back to the castle there were letters for him.

The first one read:

Dear Prince William, our oldest cousin,

Why haven't you answered our pigeons?

We know you don't like old fashion. But at least read this letter.

Mother said you wouldn't host a party.

So, We will host it.

I will send you the invitation in the next 2 weeks.

It's on Saturday. The theme is about:

Vampires

HAVE FUN!

-Yudella and Hailey

(Your favorite cousins)

"ADRIAN!" shouted William.

" Yes William," Adrian answered " What's the matter?"

"We won't be hosting the ball in the next two weeks. The cousins will, " William said while handing over the letter.

" And I am quite dizzy, so I will sleep for a moment , I won't be having supper." said William dizzily.

"Thanks for informing me," Adrian replied and went out of the room.

William slumped onto his bed and fell asleep.

Next morning, William woke up early and wrote a reply for his cousins.

Dear Yudella & Hailey,

I'm going to the party. Thanks for inviting me!

By the way, I don't have any vampire costumes so I think I need to borrow one from you guys.

Any suggestions?

I am sending this back with the same pigeon.

See ya!

-Your dearest cousin William

P.S. The pigeon pooped on the ceiling. I will have to tell someone to clean it out later, so I'll be a bit late. (no offense)

After he finished sending the pigeon out, a knock was heard on the door.

"Come in!" William replied.

"Thank you sir," a voice said.

It was Adrian .

He came in.

"William, your friend Count Damon wants to talk with you," Adrian told him.

"Oh, tell him that he can come in." replied William.

"Please come in," said Adrian.

The count came in.

Then, someone uninvited followed in.

"Mother?" William asked.

The Count sniffed.

"I guess I will say what I have to say, then you can do some family conversations," said Count Damon.

"What do you have to say?" asked William.

"I just want to ask for the opening speech draft for the ceremony," informed Count Damon.

"Sure!" replied William.

"So you'll have to say:

          Hello everyone, thank you for coming to the castle's 21st-anniversary party.

      I don't want to interrupt you, but I just want to inform youthat the party will end at 1 a.m.

         Please feel free to leave the party before 1 a.m.

    Thank you everyone for putting your attention on me.

           Everyone can continue doing their business.

         Thank you !   

From:     Prince William and his friend Count Damon

"I'll write it down on a piece of paper for your reference," said William.

"Thanks!" replied Count Damon.
