Chapter 4 - Father Henry

After several days, Henry is the one who go to work and his wife tend to do the household duties. He secretly do the ties to make them live in peace in this place while working in the palace for the safety of her daughter.

"Sir, my wife will start early in the morning this Monday. She is a skill worker." Henry utter to the man in charge.

"You don't have to make you wife's name in good terms. She will not going to serve me but the Queen itself. Just tell her not to make mistake and take precaution at all times. Also, our royal highness is not that friendly for those who are new here in the palace so warned her." Long but serious message the man utter.

"The queen? I thought she's a helper in the kitchen?" confused face mark on Henry's face. In his thought, this is dangerous.

"The queen itself saw her information and put her into jer side. You must be lucky to be pick so don't complaine for something good. So leave now, I have work to do." The man this time did not look at him ang continue to walk away when he said those things.

Henry has no choice but to sigh. He still know that this is the better for his family especially Alex. After his work done, he go to the square town which is the market to buy some goods. While he is looking around an antique shop caught his attention. He saw a unique and beautiful necklace that has a pure white crystal with a crown on it. He has no intension to buy but he like charm by the necklace and bought it.

"Mister, you have such good eyes. I think you wife will absolutely like it. Even though its not a pure expensive jewelry it has a meaning. The power of love will conquer the pride for it is destined to reign." The old woman who own the shop said.

"Oh, no, It's for my daughter. My wife don't like accessories but she loves cooking so I always buy her ingredients that makes her happy." Henry said and smile and started to leave.

"Such a beautiful family, be careful it may not last long." The woman said in such low voice. Henry did not hear it clear so he just ignore it.

On the way home, Henry saw Carol in the road waiting for him to arrived. "Henry, I know your hiding something from me and I can't take it so I waited for you here to know what it is. I ask you now, what it is?" Carol ask in a worried tone.

"My wife, I am working in the palace and not in the square town. Also, you are going to be one of the queen's helper. I know it is dangerous but we no choice at all. It's for Alex safety. If we work in the palace we can assure everything will be alright." he said.

"I trust your judgment but until now there's no one is after Alex. Maybe our assumption is wrong that someone is going to hurt Alex." Carol argue

Henry did not say anything but he knows that night when they found Alex, someone is watching them.
