*CHAPTER XXIX*

*ELISHA's NARRATION*

That call from Jascha worries me. I wish Sasa would just let him go. He is innocent. He has nothing to do between that misunderstanding Sasa and I have.

"We need to go, Madame." An airport crew smiled.

"No, I need to make sure Jascha is safe just before we leave!" I told her.

"We need to go now, Lizzy. WE NEED TO GO!" Mikkel grabbed my bag.

"How could you be so heartless?" I told him. "Jascha needs us. He is in danger!"

"He should be kidding you...."

"No, Mikkel, NO! I heard Sasa's voice!"

He looked at me with his confused look. I can't read his expression to whether he even cares for Jascha or what!

I continued, "What if something bad happens to Jascha? What would you do? Would you even dare to ever cancel that one freaking flight for the person who stood up as our second father? Do you even realize that?" I raised my voice and started to cry.

"Do I even look like I don't care? Do you know how much I worry inside? He is also a brother to me! Not showing how worried I am for him doesn't mean I no longer care for him! How could you be so stupid. What an idiot you are, Lizzy!!!"

"What did you tell me?"

Mikkel regained his consciousness and realized what he said. "Uh... Lizzy... I'm... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

Soren went near us. "Hey baby, Jascha texted me."

I grabbed his iPhone and read the text.

"Soren.

Tell Lizzy I'm ok now!! I escaped from Sasa's car and I'm safe and sound now, staying on my sister's house. Safe trip to London. Bon voyage."

"Thanks." I smiled at him.

"Why are you crying?" He asked and wiped my tears.

"Nothing. Let's go."

Mikkel said, "Look, Lizzy, I didn't mean to call you that -- "

"I know." I walked fast away from him.

We rode on a private jet. It really looks a royal jet. Seats were in colors maroon and gold. Kare, who was in front of us, entered first.

"Who in the world owns this jet? I want to buy this jet!"

We took our seats. Soren and I sat on the right side, while the other two on the left.

After 30 minutes, while we are in the middle of the sky, we heard a voice. "Hello! Hello! Hello!" Mr Leighman stood on front of us, as if he really was our tour guide. "Aren't you all excited to enter the land of London?"

"Who isn't, anyway?" Mikkel asked.

"Have you had a show in London lately?"

"We did, I think 3 months ago. It was an awesome sold-out show!"

"How's granny?" Soren asked.

"Wow, you changed a bit, Soren! How does it feel to know the Queen is actually your grandmother?" Kare laughed.

"I'm sad to say but she is already having complications and worse is doctors say she couldn't live longer. She only has weeks left."

Everyone went silent.

"Let's not talk about it. Anyone wanted to talk about the next royal baby?" Kare said.

"There is?" Mr Leighman asked.

"Yeah. I wish that two are coming on the way..." Soren smiled.

Yeah, they're talking about our expecting baby again... I feel awkward to tell them how much I crave for coconut juice.

"Baby?" I whispered to Soren. "I think I'm craving for something."

Asked Mr. Leighman, "Any problem, Madame Liz?"

"Oh." I looked at him. "Well... Pretty shy to ask but I think I'm craving for some... Fresh coconut water."

"Still couldn't get over your dream tropical life, Lizzy?" Mikkel asked.

"Didn't you taste the coconut water we had while we were on Bali? It's simply priceless!"

"We'll be ordering some once we land in London. Don't worry about the price." Mr Leighman smiled.

"Wait, this is my pay." I handed him a €100 bill.

"Where did you get this? Give me your wallet! Yeah, the two of you!" He exclaimed.

"What are you gonna... Wait those are our money!!! What are you doing?" Soren said.

"We are going to open a new bank account for the two of you. From this day forward, you should be having this." He handed us gold credit cards.

"What are these? We can pay in pure cash. We don't need these!"

"In the law of the royalties, money is dirty, so as possible as we could, we forbid you to touch any kind of money. Especially the two of you."

"Okay... Whatever." Soren got our wallets back and just got our credit cards. I don't feel like paying things on cash. Uh!

"Don't worry, Soren and Lizzy! The whole world is going to look up to you. Oh, I am pleased to be your knight, your highness." Kare got up from his seat and kissed my hand.

"Stop it, Kare!!! You don't have to do this to me!"

"Alright." He got back to his seat.

We spent the whole time cracking jokes about each and everyone of us, and Mr Leighman isn't an exception. Mikkel and Kare kept teasing him about his bald hair. We waited until our jet landed safely on the airport.

"This is the time of our lives." Soren held my hand, trying to comfort me since he knows I am afraid of getting chased by the media people.

"So, it doesn't rain in London yet?" I asked Mr. Leighman,

"I think it just finished raining." He looked at the four of us. "Listen, be informed that there are media waiting on the arrival area..."

I looked at Soren. This is something I worry about. But I would have to overcome this fear.

"... But don't worry. There are bodyguards there. First of all, don't panic, especially you, Madame Liz. Take care of yourself."

"Thanks a lot." I smiled.

So here is the real life. A whole new life, actually.

*Music Plays*

"Every breath you take

And every move you make

Every bond you break, every step you take

I'll be watching you

Every single day

And every word you say

Every game you play, every night you stay

I'll be watching you"

*Kare and Mikkel sings*

"Every move you make

And every vow you break

Every smile you fake, every claim you stake

I'll be watching you"
