The General's Daughter

Chapter 11

Prince Zander had wanted to follow them that day when they left the palace, but something told him that it wasn't the day for meeting them. That day as he watched them leave that day, he decided that for a while he would stick to Victor, that way he would be able to use him as the excuse to meet the Warfield twins.

One day, about a week later his chance finally came. Victor had been really busy helping his father. Victor and Prince Zander found their way to the new Warfield estate that the emperor had gifted them. By the time they got there, Sunda and Kaiden had just got there as well.

The Warfields had been working on their new home for a week now, but it still needed a lot of work. The work had started from the front to the back. They wanted to fix up what outsiders could see first. From outside the estate a huge wall separating the estate from the street. The Warfield name had been printed on their front gate.

The four guests were greeted by a butler. He was going to show them to the parlor and summon the twins to visit with them, but Victor told him to take them to where the twins were instead. As they approached where the twins were they also saw Nakita, but she was dressed as Kit.

The twins who noticed them first. It was Jedrek who said something. "Your Highness." He said respectfully. "Victor, Kaiden, Sunda, what brings you all here today?"

"The three of us finally all have a day free of anything, so we made plans to come and visit. The prince here... decided to tag along. Hope that's ok," Sunda said.

"Of course you can come visit. You can always come visit. We have been busy though. Hope you don't mind keeping us company as we work." Jagger moved over to the window nearby. They were in the parlor. Jagger and Jedrek had been situating furniture that had just arrived.

The prince found in curious that Jagger started to move the furniture himself, so he asked, "Why are you doing this all yourselves? Don't you have servants to help?"

Jedrek explained, "We don't mind the hard work, but the reason is that we haven't had the time to supply this place with all of the proper servants yet. So, we are doing it for now? Nakita has been going around looking for servants that she thinks is best. It will take her a bit of time, but she has high standards. She will be sure to pick those that will be loyal."

Sunda knowing the general really well asked, "Do you already have the training yard set up? If I'm right, your father would have had that be one of the first things done."

Nakita had been quiet the whole time, but she couldn't help but laugh. "You are right. After fixing up the wall and gate to his standards the next thing done was the training yard."

Kaiden nudged Sunda and whispered, "Hey why did you have to mention that. Knowing Kit, we'll have to go train. I don't want to."

Prince Zander looked around and noticed that Nakita was missing. "Is Nakita not here right now? That's a surprise after you two being away for so long."

Jedrek resisted looking at Nakita standing right there with them and said, "She has been rather busy as well."

Prince Zander realized that it was likely that she went out alone, and maybe quite often. "Does she go out alone a lot?"

Jagger looked at the prince suspiciously. "Don't worry. When she goes out, she never goes without protection." Of course, Jagger wasn't going to mention that Nakita was her own protection. "Nothing bad will happen to her."

Prince Zander was curious, but he could tell that the two brothers wouldn't tell him anything more. Of course, the other three knew exactly what Jagger meant. Knowing what he meant, they had to work really hard to know laugh out loud.
