Will you be my princess

Chapter 4

Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed & Kept Secrets?!

The car reached the beautiful scene of Nobel Michel Castle. The door was opened for me and a hand was offered to me by Zain, my grandfather's faithful butler.

"Thank you Zain." I said kindly with a smile and Zain returned the smile as I got out of the car.

"This way milady. Lord Michel has been waiting for you." I followed Zain into the castle but as we walked I felt as though I was being watched. I shook off the feeling, thinking it was just my imagination.

We reached a room with two large doors. Zain opened the doors and stepped aside while bowing his head.

"This way milady." I walked through the doors and entered what looked to be a library. There were books all around me with a big table with a few chairs in the center of the room. I looked over by the windows and saw a large fireplace in between the large windows. There was a carpet on the floor by the fireplace with three sofas arranged in a circle around the fire with a small table in the center. I looked to my left and saw grandfather looking through some photo albums.

"Grandfather who are those photo albums of?" Grandfather looked at me with his usual kind smile and gentle eyes.

"Why these are of you of course, Alana!" I looked at grandfather with confusion.

"How did you get those?" Grandfather's smile didn't falter as he explained.

"Your mother sent them to me. You were such a beautiful little girl and your even more beautiful now as a young woman! Though I wish I could've been able to see you as a child...those years will never come back..." Grandfather looked sad as he stared at the pictures of the child version of me.

"Well I'm here now and we can make up for lost time any day grandfather!" I smiled brightly and grandfather returned the smile with his own.

"Oh was there something you needed?" Grandfather seems to have recalled that question in his head.

"Oh that's right! It's about Prince Joshua, Prince Keith, and Prince Glenn..." Grandfather looked at me seriously.

"What of them?" I looked at grandfather seriously as I began to explain.

"They've become too interested in our relations... They are trying to find out and since I came here I feel as though I'm being watched... You don't think...?" Me and grandfather looked at each other with wide eyes as I gasped.

"Yes..." I started to look around and noticed three people sitting in the bushes by the window.

"Oh grandfather there outside the window!" Grandfather and I looked outside the window to see the three people who were spying on us running away in separate directions."Oh their spies from the kingdoms of Liberty, Oriens, and Dres Van! I know because of their seals!" But it was too late! The spies were too far out of reach for any of the bodyguards to catch. "Grandfather what are we going to do?!" I looked at grandfather as he contemplated and came up with an idea.

"We'll just have to invite the princes of Oriens, Liberty, and Dres Van to the castle immediately!" I nodded my head in agreement as we silently watched the spies disappear from view.

"Now Alana Zain shall take you to your room where you will change into a beautiful gown." I nodded my head and followed Zain to the bedroom that grandfather had arranged. Once I got to the room Zain left me alone. The room was so beautiful! The walls were the colored with royal blue and gold, there was a king-sized bed on the left side of the room that had gold covers, blue sheets, and gold pillows, there was a seating area in the window that had gold and royal blue pillows, and a big royal blue and gold carpet in the center of the room. I admired the room for a few more seconds before walking over to my closet. I opened the grand closet doors and was amazed by the closet's size and the beautiful gowns that were inside. I took a step inside and ran my fingers over the beautiful gowns. There were so many dresses to choose from but one in particular caught my attention. It was a long beautiful sleeveless light blue gown lined with gold, sparkles on the top part of it. I pulled the gown out of the closet with a pair of gold shoes and a gold necklace and a pair of gold earrings sat on my dresser. I took off the clothes that I had been wearing and changed into the gown, shoes, earrings, and necklace. I decided to wear my long burgundy colored hair down. I quickly curled my hair a little and flattened my bangs so they fell to the side. All that was left to do was wait for Zain to come and get me.
