To England...

December 18th

"We are here, Your Majesty.", the driver says, he resigns from the car and then extends the door for me.

"Thank you.", I sound.

"Victoria, so good to see you again.", Diana says smiling at me.

"Likewise.", I say.

"How was your journey?"

"It was okay.", I respond.

"The maids shall take your bags, need not bother.", she says. I smile. Then I look at one bag.

"Actually if, you don't mind. I would appreciate it if I could take this bag, with me. Sentimental value and all.", I say grabbing the bag, as it scarcely jiggles. Diana smiles at me.

"Allow me to display the palace.", she persists, and seizes ahold of my hand, as the entrances open. We walk into the palace, which is a gold theme all around. "Your chamber is straight across from my son. But Once you marry, it would be agreeable for you two to share a chamber.", she says, with a slight wink.

"Ok.", I say, with a nod.

"I'll allow you to rest. I'm sure the travel here, was exhausting.", Diana, smiles and walks out of the room. I nod, then she shuts the door. I open my bag, as Daisy jumps out. Daisy jumps on my bed and then lays on it. "Sorry about that, Daisy.", I scratched her chin. I sit on my bed, as I pull my book, and commence reading it. I look at the time and glance at Daisy.

"Don't you think it's weird that I haven't met my fiancee yet? Isn't it peculiar, Daisy.", I say, in my pet voice, looking at Daisy. I sigh, then direct out of my room. And stroll around the castle. Maybe wandering could help me get more information on them, but then I unexpectedly see a room with a door, that creeks open a bit.

"Princess Victoria Bloom, that was her name right.", a man says. They are conversing about me.

"Why does the name sound so familiar?", another man says.

"Her sister Vannessa Bloom.", Gabriel Patridge, responds.

"Yes, Vannessa Bloom, didn't she sleep with your brother?", the same man says.

"You had to make it go away, because she was 17, during the period. But when she showed up at the palace, pregnant. It would cause a scandal.", another man says. Pregnant, what the hell??! When was my sister pregnant??

......

"Where is your brother, now?", a man asks

"In an undisclosed location.", Gabriel says.

"What the hell?", I say, in a whisper. My sister was with an older man. My fiancee's uncle. And the other man said that he made it go away. Did he kill my sister? Where is the baby, now? Why would he wait 3 years to kill her? He is a royal, he must think smarter than that, more carefully. Perhaps she threatened to tell the truth, so he hired someone to kill her.

"What are you doing?", Diana Partridge asks me. Oh shit, think of something really quick!!

I turn around in terror.

"Your Highness, you frightened me. I was looking for the kitchen. I phoned the maid, however no one came.", I say, quickly. The Queen sighs and then says.

"Victoria. It is remarkably easy for things to disappear around the palace, and you wouldn't want to be next, dear.", she says, with a smile, and walks away.

Bloody hell! Was that a threat? What did I just get myself into?
