The Real Heir

Chapter 2

"What!"

"'Tis true you know."

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"Okay fine, you're right, Lucas. But, still so what."

"Come on then, let's go."

As the two walk through the gates and there it is. It was a normal castle like the Buckingham Palace. The only difference is that this castle is much much much bigger and more surrounded by plants and trees and animals than cobblestones. Destiny twirls around and around, "Wow!"

Off to the side were some stables, looked like there weren't a lot of horses in them. This whole entire place was surrounded by a gigantic wall that looked to be shimmering in the sunlight.

There had to be about a hundred of those steps just to climb to the front door, thought Destiny. She looks to the front door, which by the way is really big, and notices a woman dressed in a sea/sky blue ball gown that seemed too dated really back when there were dragons were still alive on the earth.

"Have you brought her, Lucas?" calls the young woman, "Is she really the girl?"

"Why, yes, Your Highness," Lucas replies with a bow.

The young woman looks Destiny up and down before saying, "I suppose 'tis her, for her dress has become different when she stepped through the gates and seeing how she didn't disappear into thin air along with those two imposters."

Destiny frowns, looks down, notices that her dress has become a beautiful emerald green gown with silver beads around her shoulders, and gasps. She looks back up at the woman that looks almost like her twin. Who in turn, looks expectantly at Lucas, who then turns to Destiny and says, "Milady, please allow me to introduce Her Royal Highness, Princess Lillian Vagnar," he turns to Lillian, "Your Highness, please allow me to introduce Princess Destiny Esmeralda Anastasia Rosalina Alexandra Elizabeth Vagner, the long-lost princess," he looked breathless and nearly collapsed to the ground after saying the big name that was supposedly Destiny's.

Meanwhile, when Lucas was introducing Lillian she looked at Destiny with disgusted and curtsied when Destiny was introduced. Destiny just stared at her. When Lillian clapped her hands two maids appeared out of the front door, "Lead the princess to her chambers, Mother and Father will be there in a few minutes." The maids' curtsy and lead inside.

As the doors closed Destiny turned to say thank you to Lucas when she saw that Lillian had her arms around Lucas's neck. Lucas, no matter what anyone thought, looked like he was having a really bad time with Lillian so close. Destiny shrugged and turned back around just as the door closed.

The big hall was huge. With high walls that made it look like a cathedral and a very big chandelier in the middle of the dome-shaped roof. To top it off, there are two grand stairways that lead to a semi-circle shaped balcony. As they climb up the stairs the oldest of the maids says, "The East Wing is for the guests, The North Wing for the servant's quarters, the South Wing for the kitchen and other rooms like the library and such, and finally the West Wing is for the Royal Family, and other Royal Families that may visit."

The group starts to walk to Destiny's "chambers" when they stumble upon a couple. A young man that looks like Destiny and a young woman in black clothing. They look to be teasing each other when they stop to stare at Destiny.

"Can it be?" asks the young man full of disbelief and surprise.

"Probably," replies the woman calmly.
