"Wait. What? My... sister? That's impossible." I said shaking my head slowly. There is no way. Just NO WAY!
Caroline scuffed and crossed her arms.
How in the world could I be related to this... snobby Princess?
"No... there is no way." I was backing up now. This was a bit much.
"Haha. Yes, there is Princess. But I can see you two... have already met." He said with a disappointed expression and looked at Caroline, and then back to me.
"I can tell she is used to getting her way." I said rudely.
She snorted, she went to say something but John stuck is hand up and she stopped right away.
"We are not here for any bickering." John said sternly.
"Enough with the go around, where is she? Where is Isabelle's mother?" Jason said as he stood closer to me so his back was touching me.
Sometimes, he does the cutest things when he's angry.
"Now now, there is much to talk about. Don't be hasty. " John said waving his hand in the air like this was nothing.
"Where... is... my mother John Charles?" I couldn't believe how he was acting. Does he want me angry? Because he is certainly getting me there.
"I told you, there is much to speak about. Right now, we should all get some rest and discuss this in the morning. Yeah?" He said facing all of us with his eyebrows up.
"That way we all have fresh minds and rested bodies. Wouldn't want to make any... irrational decisions on such emotions, now would we?"
Damn. He does have a point. But honestly, I don't see myself being any less angry in 12 hours.
"Fine. If that is the best thing, you and Caroline can stay in the guest bedroom. We can back to your Kingdom in the morning." I said smiling and staring at him.
"Ah. I see you are learning the ways of this world. Now that is not part of what I said, dear."
"You are right, that is why I Added that detail. Or if you want, we can all just go to your Kingdom right now? Up to you, Sir. John Charles."
He was grinding his teeth as he looked at me. Seeing he was being put in a corner.
"I mean, I don't see what the big deal is if you have nothing to hide, right?" I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms.
I stepped forward so I was closer to him and didn't break eye contact.
"There is nothing I am particularly hiding, dear." He said coldly.
"Well then it's settled! You will be shown to your rooms." I said jumping up and smiling.
I could see Jason and Richard shaking their heads with smirks on their faces.
"Oh and, John Charles?" I said as I turned around before going upstairs.
He slowly turned and faced me.
"The room will be guarded. The windows and doors will be closely watched. So, don't try any funny business. We won't be far from you." I said smiling and turning on my heels.
I could feel everyone's eyes on me and jaws open. I couldn't help but feel... powerful. To say what was going to happen and not asking, it was... thrilling. I have come too far now, to be in check-mate. I will find my mother, and I will get her back. Even if I have to dirty my hands a little in the process.
