The moment the group reached Alvin's kingdom Ella said "before we head to your home I want visit someone first." "Okay." They first visited Arlene for a brief moment then left the bed and breakfast heading towards Cecil's place. "Miss. Ella!" "Hey there. Have you guys been?" "Good, we've miss you." "So you're back in town." "Yeah Cecil I'm back, only for a few days." "Aww." "Don't worry I'll see you again. Cecil when I return home I will send you an invitation so make sure to come and bring Lizzy, Rob, and Rachel." "Invitation?" "When I return home I plan to have a party, please come when I do." "Alright." "I'm sorry but I must see other friends." "Good bye Miss. Ella!" When they were out of earshot Ella said "she is still full of excitement like when I first met her." "Who is she? No better yet who are they?" Asked Galvin. "Cecil taught me archery but I had no way of paying him, so we made a deal. I would help his kids with homework and such; the little girl was one of his children, Rachel." "I see." Robert known as Arthur interrupted "well we're here." James and Galvin hopped down, looking at each other, astonishment went to confusion when Robert took off his wig... "Uh-" "Right we didn't tell you till now. You see I'm Prince Arthur." Still in shock Galvin and James stayed quiet and followed him to the throne room with the others. The king and queen ran and hugged Arthur, "nice to see you again Ella and Orson." "Indeed." "So who are these two?" "They're going to my hometown to get work and a home, meet James and Galvin." "Nice to meet ya both." "Eh Rob- I mean Prince Arthur." Said James. "Just call me Arthur, James and Galvin." "T-This is what you meant when you said you'd take care of our stay?" "Mhm." "Ella why don't you and your friends go to the library while I talk to my son. Do you remember where it is?" "Yes I remember. Sophie, Henry why don't you join us?" "Thank you for asking Ella but I'd like to talk to my son." "I too would like to stay and listen to my grandson." "Alright then, I'll see you all later then, come on guys." Before Galvin, Ella, Orson, and James reached the library someone stopped them. "Hey I remember you. I vouched for you, got fired, and you sent me here." "Ah I remember now... Never properly introduced ourselves, my name is Ella." "Wilbur." "Are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm perfectly fine., thanks. Hey what are you doing here by the way?" "Well Orson and I are friends with the prince and the family... We're going to the library." "James, Galvin?" "Some things came up so they're coming to my hometown for work and a home." "Hey why are you guys still here? I thought you'd be at the library." Wilbur bowed while Ella said "well I was talking to an acquaintance of mine." Gesturing toward Wilbur; "nice to meet ya." "Yes to finally meet you." "That's right your new here from Richard's kingdom and probably wondering why you haven't seen me." "How did you know I came from-" "Ella told Orson and me what happened." "Uh." "Since you've been here have you seen me?" "No; the majesties said their son was traveling. Why?" "I was with Ella and Orson... I was wearing a wig so no one knew who I was." "I-I don't know what to say. I'm sorry Prince Arthur I still need to prepare some rooms, I must go." "Alright then." Wilbur then scuttled off, leaving the group to continue walking to the library.
All through dinner Ella's mind was on Ralph and that letter, wondering how he took it. I do hope He'll understand in the future, especially if he accepts my invitation.
A few days indeed gone by, Ella was either talking with Arthur's family or Cecil's kids... "Sorry Arthur but it's about time we leave. I haven't seen my family for some time; I'll mail you as I previously said I'll have a party so you better prepare and come when I do... Well we best be going, good bye." "Bye."
