The travel begins on the ninth of March. We travel along the beach and I sit thinking about how different life could have been if I was just born to a normal family. It would have been great to have a family that didn't have such high expectations.
I stare out at the beach scenery and notice Radley waking up slowly.
"Hey," I say kindly as he opens his eyes slowly. "Hey," he mumbles and starts to wake up by rubbing his eyes, "enjoying the trip so far?" "I can't sleep after all that sleeping in such a different environment," I say seriously. He nods, "You really loved that place didn't you?" I nod, "It was nice to just be normal I guess," I say honestly as I look at him, "think about it, Radley. We could be having a baby in a place where they would be safe and protected. Now, there are out in the open and people want to harm them. Also, they are just going to be spoilt." He shakes his head, "No, they don't have to be spoilt because we can make sure they aren't, but keeping them safe is just harder even for those who are normal." "True," I agree.
"Will we take our kids to work with us?" I ask him curiously, "I think that's the one rule I hate during the season." "I agree," he says kindly, "it keeps them safe and lets them get to know more people as well as practice earlier." I nod, "Good for everyone."
Soon, I fall asleep and the days go by until we get to the edge of a beach where we can see the coast as well as a boat awaiting us.
We head onto the boat with all our luggage and once we reach the edge of a little island we can see a house situated on the water.
My mouth drops as I notice that the house is not touching the beach rather it is actually on the water itself and it is stunning as it glistens in the sunlight.
Radley laughs at me, "Your country is truly unique. I can never guess what is coming next."
As soon as we get off, there are a few faces standing at the port that was right by the home.
"Your Highness," an older woman comes forward with a few behind her, "this is my daughter and my son as well as my grandchildren." "Your Highness, I am Duchess Daisy, but my brother will be taking over after me," she says kindly. "Your Highness," a man says kindly, "I am Duke Eirmen and these are my five children. We all stay with my mother because of training them for the future role."
His children come forward to introduce themselves.
"I am Duke Gael, Your Highness," he says politely, his darker skin shining as his green-hazel eyes and black shining hair glow. His sister has a slightly lighter complexion but her eyes share his green and her brown silky straight hair falls down her back.
"I am Ivory, Your Highness," she says kindly as she looks like the odd one out amongst the crowd, "this is Finn, Dwane and Diamond." They leave us alone until the next portion of the family comes forward.
Everyone on this island seems to have a darker complexion.
"Your Highness, I am the Marquess," the Marquess bows and smiles as he moves on.
"Your Highness, I am the Countess, this is my husband and this is my oldest daughter of other daughters, Valerie," the Countess says kindly. "Nice to meet you," I say kindly.
A man comes forward and smiles, "I am the Viscount, this is my wife and this is my son, Rory. My other sons are at home and are way too young to come." I greet them kindly.
"I am the Baron and this is my wife," a man says kindly, "this is my oldest son, Malik, but my other son and daughter are at home."
After all the introductions are made, we head into their home and instead of going upstairs, we go downstairs. The whole home is made out of glass, so as we go down the glass stairs there is a beautiful view of the ocean below and the beautiful coral reef comes into view teeming with marine life.
