Chapter 7 - Chapter Seven

Amira and Leo got into the limo followed by John who started to drive as soon as he entered the limo. Amira was looking out the window of the limo as she left her village. She was going to miss everyone but she made a promise to her self and her mother. To come back a visit leaving everything behind was a big deal for her as she grew up in this very village. And has never left ever in her life but now she was she watched as she saw kids playing and laughing together. Adults playing with there children talking with each other and making jokes. She smiled and watched as they left and made there way into a far off place that was surrounded by plants trees and bush. There were lots of wild animals rooming about minding there own business some staring at the limo as it drove past them. Soon they pulled up to a great big castle it was white and beautiful roses and lotus flowers were growing in the garden as well. The limo pulled up to the gate with guards standing there with swords at there side looking ahead with straight faces. Amira could swear that they weren't even blinking they were just standing there not even moving. The gate opened and John drove the limo into the palace and pulled up to where four people were standing. One which she knew the King the other one which is the former King and the other one the Empress Dowager and the princess. Amira took a deep breath and exhaled after holding it for three seconds. John quickly got out of the limo and ran to the other side to open the door for Amira and Leo. Amira and Leo stepped out of the limo and looked at each other before looking back at the people dresses all fancy and elegant. Amira shook her head and immediately curtsied to the royal family. "Greetings to the royal family" she said. The Empress had a happy smile on her fae as she stared at Amira. "Please do rise you don't have to do that you know" she said looking at Amira. Amira looked up and stood in a normal position and looked at the Empress who still had her smiling expression on her face. Leo looked at his mother then followed her gaze which led the Empress but his gaze fled onto his father. Malik stood nexted to his sister with his hands behind his spot. He was wearing a furry white coat and his long black hair that he had tied half of it into a pony tail. He looked down at his son and smiled gently assuring him he wouldn't hurt him as he could see poor Leo was a little scared. Leo slowly returned the smile as he held his mother's hand and squeezed it tightly. Amira hissed at the pain of Leo squeezing her hand but ignored it and tried her best to force a happy smile on her face. "Kora come here please" the Empress yelled. Soon a blonde hair girl came she was wearing a maids outfit her hazel eyes where the most beautiful thing Amira has ever seen in her life. "Yes Empress Dowager" Kora said while she curtsied. "For the last time Kora call me Empress Diana" the Empress said being frustrated at Kora. "My apologies Empress Diana" Kora said. "Nevermind please bring her bags up to the King's room. As for the little one take his stuff up to his room please" she said gesturing over to Amira and Leo. She nodded and headed over to the bags and took them in her hands. She smiled at Amira who was already smiling at her and took the bags inside. "Alright then please follow us Amira" the Empress said turning around ready to head inside. The Emperor followed behind her followed by the princess and Malik. Amira held Leo's hand and followed Malik inside. The inside was more beautiful than the outside though it was just the corridor. The red carpet screamed royalty in Amira's face as she walked with the others. After having the longest tour of the castle Amira was finally shown to her new room. Kora opened the door revealing a versailles gold metallic antique bed. The room was magnificent and beautiful a small ray of sunshine peeped it's way through the curtains and into the room. "Alright please be ready for dinner at seven sharp" Kora said before leaving. Amira nodded her head and went inside the room and closing the door behind her. "Wow so this is the King's bedroom not what I expected but it can do" Amira said to herself as she walked over to the curtains. She stood in front of the curtains when she felt a pair of hands around her waist. "Is it not likeable I can change it if you want" Malik asked resting his chin on her shoulder. "No it's fine" Amira quickly said. She thought she was the only one in the room. Malik turned her around and held her left hand he looked at her before placing a floral two toned gold ring on her ring finger. Amira looked down at the ring it was indeed pretty she smiled. "What do you like it" Malik asked seeing the way Amira smiled at the ring. Sh nodded in response while admiring the ring. "Then don't loose it it's really expensive so I would like to see how you buy it back" Malik said. Amira frowned and looked down what he said was indeed tru how would she pay it back especially when the ring belongs to the royal family. They placed a gold crystal crown on top of her head to finish it off. She walked downstairs along side the maid that she held on to incase she fell at a point. As soon as she stepped into the dinning room all eyes were on her she was the most beautiful thing they have ever seen. The empress her self was indeed impressed along side the Emperor who at first seemed not to like Amira that much.
