"Alright. Let's go," Roman says, leading us out along with Remi. We follow him out to see a castle.
"Woah," I say. Roman goes up to the guard and hands him the paper that my mother told me to give him.
He looks at me awestruck and back at Roman. They talk for a little bit and then Roman motions for us to come over.
"Let's go. Stay by me," Remi says, walking next to us. As I walk to the gates, the guards bow down. Not really sure what to do, I look to Aj who is looking at Raven who's looking at me. I do an awkward curtsy and we keep walking. Aj unintentionally grabs my hand as we walk past many people rushing around. Roman and Reno push open doors to a room and we step in.
"Your Highnesses-"
"Who dares barges into the King and Queen's office?!" A booming male's voice asks making Raven flinch.
"Your granddaughters, sir," Remi says, bowing down.
"What?" The queen asks. I step forward with Raven in my arms.
"I am Jezamine Nguyen, daughter of Roxanne Nguyen. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highnesses," I say, curtsying. If you couldn't tell, I was making everything up as I went.
"My granddaughter?" The queen asks. I look to Remi who nods.
"Yes ma'am," I say.
"Hoc intellegi potest?" [Can you understand this] (I used Latin from google translate so don't judge me) asked the Queen.
"Sic possum," [Yes I can] I reply instantly.
"That doesn't mean anything! Anyone could have picked up Latin," The king says.
"Excuse me sir," Aj interjected. "But not a lot of people in America know Latin. And I've never seen Jezamine ever take lessons. So I'm assuming that is just natural to her."
"And who are you?" The king asks.
"A friend of the princess, your majesty." Aj bowed.
"BETRAM GET IN HERE!" The king all of a sudden shouted. A tall and slender man came running in.
"Yes sir! I'm here sir! What do you need sir!" Bertram rushed.
"Get the fingerprint of the missing princess," The king commanded.
Fingerprint?!
"Yes sir!" Bertram quickly says, running out of the room. A bit later, he comes in with a book, a paper, and an ink pad. Without permission, he takes my finger, puts it on the ink pad, and presses it onto the paper.
"That was rude," I mutter. He studies a page in the book and then my fingerprint.
"B-but it can't be...." he mutters.
"What is it Bertram?" The Queen commands.
"I-It's a match," he quietly says.
"What was that?" The king asks, leaning forward.
"It's a match! The princess is back!" He happily cheers.
"My granddaughters!" The Queen exclaims, heading over to give me and Raven a hug.
"Get in here, boy! Any friend of my granddaughter's is a ally of mine!" The queen says.
"After all this time, why do you choose now to visit?" The king asks.
"Because, Your majesty-"
"Call us Grandma and Grandpa!" The Queen-Grandma-cheers. I cleared my throat.
"Because, Grandpa. My father is looking for me and my mother told me I would only be safe here," I say.
"Ah, I see. Well, Bertram, show them to their rooms," Grandpa says.
"Is it possible that Raven shared a room with me?" I ask.
"Nonsense! Future Queens and," Grandpa looked Aj up and down. "Future Kings deserve their own rooms!"
I blushed at the 'future king' part. I turn to look at Aj who just looked flabbergasted. (Hah. That's a funny word)
We both started speaking at the same time.
"No, I-its not like that. W-Were just friends..."
"No, your majesty, it's not like that..."
Unfortunately, to Raven it was a good time to show off her new speaking skills.
"Aj and Jezza! Aj and Jezza!" She babbled. Grandma just raised an eyebrow at us.
"Please just take us to our rooms," I say to Bertram.
"Right away, Princess!" Bertram replied. He took us to the elevator (yes elevator!) and took us to the 6th floor. He led us down the hall and showed us to three rooms.
"These two were reserved for you, but since you didn't visit as a baby, the nursery is untouched so that's for Raven. The room in the right is for you now, and the room on the left is a guest room for your friend," Bertram says.
"Thank you very much," I say to Bertram who nods and walks away. I open the door and the room is big enough to be an apartment itself. I gasp and look around. The bed is king sized and the bedsheets are a light pink. There are so many pillows that I know I'm not gonna use. The closet is already stocked with clothes my size and my bags are in one small corner, unpacked. There's a body mirror and a makeup table. I walk out of the bathroom and see a large desk with books, paper, pens, pencils, erasers, and even ink and a feather. I walk into another door and open it. The door is to a mega huge bathroom. The bathroom has one bathtub, one spa, one shower, and a separate room for the toilet an sink. There are towels with the word 'princess' embroidered on it. I step out and head to the cabinet which is filled with crowns. There are 15 tiaras with 15 numbers under it. Next to the cabinet is a large bay window. I sit there and look out on the view. There's many houses with straw tops. It's basically what a child would imagine a 'village' to look like. It is nothing like America at all. There's a knock on the door.
"It's open!" I shout. Whoever is outside doesn't walk in.
"Come in!" I call. The door opens and in comes a woman wearing a dress with an apron over it.
"Hello, miss. I am Tulip. Your grandma assigned me to be your maid," She says.
"My M-Maid?" I ask.
"Yes," she politely says.
"Oh...um...I don't really need anything right now." I say.
"Of course not. Although, Remi has informed me that you have left your phone back in America," she says. I nod in response. She hands me a rose gold iPhone.
"This works in our country only, though. You can't talk out of the country," she says.
"No, this is too much I can't," I say, denying it.
"Your highness, the Queen ordered for me to give it to you. If you don't take it, it would be me who is defying orders," She says.
"Tulip?" I ask.
"Yes, miss?" She replies.
"If I ever become a spoiled brat, slap me," I tell her. She looks taken aback for a bit, but then she nods.
"Yes ma'am," she answers. And with that, I accepted the phone.
