Chereads / The Prince and His lover / Chapter 5 - Dinner

Chapter 5 - Dinner

Recap:

We walked on the red carpet that made my feet in my shoes felt as though  I was walking upon the clouds. After a few turns we arrived at a huge golden door that had two other guards at each side. Upon our arrival they bow and greeted us. Soon after they opened the door and behind was another world.

I let my eyes wonder like a lost soul until I saw my grand parents sitting in a  well mannerly way awaiting the royals arrival. My eyes quickly went wondering again. As I stood there  looking at the huge chandelier that hung from the ceiling with elegance I began to feel small due to the size of the room . The walls were painted in dark brown with paintings of people I have never seen before. I slowly walked towards to the paintings to get a closer look of them. I carefully looked at them and saw that they were all apart of the royal family from history upon till now. The current royal had the largest portrait at the end with their son still at a young age. I was a little confused as to why I haven't seen any with him at his current age. To think of it I haven't actually seen him since at his fourteen birthday party. Since he refuse to have anymore birthday parties. There must be a reason that warrant such prohibition from the young prince. According to the  daily news paper he has even enforced a law of anyone that takes his photo will be arrested.  Is he that ugly? I began to wonder which makes me ten times more curious to see him tonight since they will be having dinner with us.

After wondering around aimlessly I came to sit with my family and await the royal family arrival. I began to lose my patience and was about  to leave my seat to wonder around again when the guard announced the arrival of his royal majesty. I quickly regained my sitting position and waited for him to be in sight. A few moments later my grandfather rose from his sit and so did everyone else as to show the respect for the royal family. Anxiety became my sitting partner as I awaited to see the prince but he never came as I anticipated him too. I became confused and was about to ask why the royal prince is not here?

"Your majesty your advisor has being wating for you". Grandpa said with a very deep bow.

"As you may remember my wife Helena and my grandson Navin and his bestfriend Angel" we all bow as our names were introduced to his majesty and the Queen.

Her majesty looked absolutely stunning with her blonde hair and green eyes and her blue dress that fitted her with ease and her diamond earring and huge diamond necklace and her white gloves. She is the definition of a true queen indeed. While the king wore a dark suit with the emperial cloth around his shoulder to his hip. Showcasing his royal status and power. He look very handsome with his dark hair and green eyes and breaded face which was neatly shave along with his white gloves.

" Good evening lord Henry" Her royal highness  said.

"Good evening to you. Your highness" my grandfather quickly responded.

The king and my grandfather began taking about the affairs and other important things which I had no clue of. My grandmother and the queen chatting for a brief moment and then  turn to the two men talking away forgetting the rest of us.

"Forgive me my queen" his majesty said.

"Let's have dinner and discussion the purpose of it please" her highness quickly responded and his majesty agreed immediately after hearing her words.

I was quickly reminded that my grandfather said that they wanted to talk to us about something important indeed. This quickly took all my curiosity away from the prince and focus more on the next word from the queen.

" Isn't prince Jake going to join us tonight?" my grandfather asked which I quickly looked at the queen awaiting a response.

"Henry you know how he is when it comes to meeting people who  he doesn't really know . It is not a problem for you since you practically watch him grew from small but you see we have a bit of the visitors tonight." Her highness said as she gestured towards us.

We slight bowed as to show the respect and how honored we are to have dinner with the most powerful people in the Country and almost half of the world.

....

To my dissatisfaction he never actually came indeed. Nevertheless we spoke and have a wonderful dinner. Until the king once again announced purpose of the dinner.

"Are you people willingly playing with my mind cause I'm very curious to know,but you keep mentioning it and some what be indirect"  my conscience said to me.

" Lord Henry, you have worked for us for so long and we couldn't be more appreciative of you than we are. Therefore we wish to thanked you wholeheartedly for your diligentness and loyalty to us. Your wish was if we were to ever gifted you with anything you said it should be towards your family. Therefore we wish to have your grandson and his bestfriend to attain the highest quality of Education at the Royal School of Kensington. We decided that we allow his bestfriend to go as well since you always mentioned how inseparable they are and it would be rude of us not to offer her the opportunity as well." Her royal highness said with great sincerity in her voice.

"I'm sorry what?" I ask skeptically looking at my grandfather.

But to my surprise he was just as much surprised as I were.

" Your majesty this too much of a kind act of you towards us as just commoners. We don't deserve this from you." My grandmother responded calmly.

" What do you think lord Henry?" The king asked.

"I think it would be the best for my grandson and his bestfriend,but isn't it too much of you to do?"

"That's just the start, we would like for you and your family to come and live here as well and your sons bestfriend as well if she would be allow too." His majesty said.

Angel began to cough constantly. Everyone turned their heads to her with concern upon our face.

" I'm fine, just a little surprise" she said with a huge smile reassuring us.

" I do not wish to hear your answer now, of course we will let you think about it but I  would be very happy if you don't refuse please" her highness said cautiously.

" Is there is anything you wish to say, you have been very quiet from the start are you alright Navin?" The king asked.

" I'm fine I'm just processing your words and actions carefully so I would not think I'm hallucinating" I said calmly.

"Well if that's all it was lovely to have dinner with you wonderful people. But I'm tired, so please excuse us now" the queen said.

We all stood and thanked them for the meal and they left the room. We decided it is late and we should get going as well.

The ride back home was very quite. Everyone was lost in their own world while I was happy to have an opportunity to attend such school I was worried that I won't fit in and would just bring dishonor to my family's name. Nevertheless it would be very much impudent to refuse the royal family's request. I'm sure that is going to be my grandfather words. Therefore to make my grandfather proud I will accept it and do my best.

The car finally stopped in front our house and we all existed and headed inside.

"Can we all talk in the living room please?" Grandpa requested.

We all nodded and headed to the room.

...

We discussed about the offered made and all came to the conclusion that we will accept and do as the queen wishes. Angel is going to talk to her brother and see if he would approve her moving school and home and will tell us back. But for now she is more than excited to live in a palace. While I on the other was worried to disappoint my grand parents. We then decided to call it a night and went to bed.

Angel and I are fighting about who is gonna have to pick movie tonight and eventually she won the battle with her selection of "Like a boss" with Tiffany Haddish. I pouted and finally surrendered and we watch the movie.

To my surprise it was funny and it was something I needed at the moment. After it finished I made usage of the washroom and quickly got back in bed and let the sleepiness fully take my body over.
