Magus Academy 2

Chapter 17

"I'M GONNA MISS YOU SOOO MUCH!" Sophie wailed loudly causing all of us to wince.

Me and the other royals were getting ready to leave: we had two carriages waiting for us outside and our suitcases were already taken to them however Sophie didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to the royal's wing.

You read that right, she was hugging the furniture in the royal's wing. She was... bleeping elements, my friends were even weirder than me!

"Sophie... we don't exactly have all the time in the world," Jamie said loudly, folding his arms.

"Well, technically..." Blaze began, however, he wasn't able to finish as Jamie glared at him threateningly.

"Sophie, you know the palace is gonna be way bigger than this," I looked over at Sophie and smiled when she ran over to me.

I then heard Lily, who was about thirteen at the time, mutter something along the lines of, "kids... so immature..."

I almost laughed out loud but stopped myself.

When we reached the carriages, I got into one with Jamie, Sophie and Lizzie (Elizabeth).

"To the Celestian palace!" I yelled in a funny voice.

The carriage started moving, causing my heart to beat faster: I always wondered what my future home would look like and I couldn't wait to finally see it.

For the whole ride, my right leg was bouncing up and down repeatedly.

At one point, Jamie yelled at me to stop it, causing me to yell back at him and then he... well, I'm pretty sure you know what happened next.

After a ridiculously long debate about how floors should come in different flavours so you can lick it whenever you want to (don't ask), we somehow switched to playing a classic game of I spy.

"I spy with my little eye..." I then looked out of the window of the carriage, trying to think of something, "HOLLY BLEEP!"

My eyes widened as I stared at the magnificent building in the distance.

"Lemme guess... the Celestian palace," Jamie said looked past my shoulder and at the palace.

I simply nodded my head repeatedly _ the building was so beautiful.

From where the carriage was, it looked like the palace was made out of crystals. It had many towers and looked like a Disney castle!

"That's our new home, huh?" I asked, smiling in awe at the palace.

"Welcome to the life of a royal, your majesty," Lizzie said, smiling at my excitement.

"WOOHOO!" I yelled loudly, punching the air.

I could see the other three giving me weird looks but I didn't care _ I was so excited.

For some reason, I only just realized the perks of being a royal _ the crazy amount of money, the incredible home.

However, at the same time, there was an overwhelming amount of responsibility that comes with being a royal.

I didn't know whether to be happy or just terrified _ I guess I could figure that out when I become queen.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the carriage came to a stop, right in front of the palace.

"Let's go," I opened the door before anyone else could stop me and jumped out of the carriage.

Then, I rushed towards the two massive double doors. I could hear footsteps behind me, trying to keep up.

Just before I could run into the palace, Jamie wrapped his arms around my waist, stopping me from barging into the place.

"Hey!" I whined, attempting to slip out of his grasp.

"We need to get past security first and then we're going inside, ok?" Jamie said slowly as if he were talking to a child.

I simply grumbled angrily while Jamie led me back next to the carriage to be inspected.

The guards did things like looking through the suitcases, asking us questions and checking our powers.

Finally, after an agonizingly long time, we were finally able to go.

I took my suitcase from a servant who was about to carry my heavy stuff all the way to my room and ran towards the doors excitedly.

This time, I wouldn't be stopped.

When I reached the doors, the guards forced them open and what was inside shocked me completely.

The room was almost three times the size of the living room in the royals wing: it had half a dozen chandeliers dotted around the ceiling, the walls were covered with incredible painting and the floor had many intricate designs.

That was only one room.

There were two grand staircases at the back of the room, probably where the bedrooms would be.

"So this is what the palace looked like from the inside," Lizzie said, marvelling at the room.

I then rushed towards a door in the far left corner and opened it. Inside the room was a large kitchen with floating cutlery.

The kitchen might as well have been an exact replica of the kitchen in the royal's wing except for the fact that it was larger.

I then walked out of the room and rushed towards another door opposite the one to the kitchen.

Inside that room was a gigantic dining table with pretty much hundreds of chairs and a couple of smaller tables dotted around the room.

Everything looked so grand _ even the chairs!

I was so busy staring at the dining room that I completely forgot about the other royals who were probably thinking I was some sort of weirdo.

"Let's go upstairs!" I then declared, causing the other to moan tiredly.

I felt so excited. So... so happy.

I couldn't believe that I used to be poor until the day I found Celestiam and for the first time in my life, I was glad that Ash kidnapped me.

Once I found the bedrooms, me and Sophie claimed one of the first ones we could find, making sure that she was as close to her twin as possible.

The room was (as you can expect) very large with two grand beds, a massive bookshelf, two vanities, a walk-in closet and even an en-suite bathroom.

I felt like I was in heaven!

After we unpacked most of our stuff, the two of us flopped onto our beds.

"I love being a royal," Sophie said before snoring softly.

"So do I," I said quietly before closing my eyes.

A few seconds later, I decided to lie on my side mainly because I didn't feel comfortable.

A while later, I changed my mind and lay on my other side. Suddenly, however, I changed my mind and lay on my stomach.

Why the bleep couldn't I sleep?

After a couple of minutes of twisting and turning, I finally went to sleep.
