"Good Evening Everyone" said Lawrence as he and Ireti entered the dining room, they had returned from their little outing.
"Good Evening Brother" said Tessa.
"Good Evening Ireti" said Tessa as she smiled.
"Good Evening" said Richard as he ate his food.
"Where is Wura??" asked Ireti as Lawrence pulled out a chair for her to sit.
"Oh my dear I forgot to tell you" said Lawrence as he sat down at on his seat.
"The Prince invited her to the Castle tonight" said Lawrence.
"Yes Reti, the Prince threw a ball in Wura's honour, and there was no way I would let her say no, so she is currently at the Castle as we speak" said Tessa as she smiled.
"Oh I see" said Ireti as she ate her food.
"Yes Reti, and you should have seen her, she looked very pretty, even prettier than she was before, I am sure that everyone will be mesmerized by her" said Tessa as she laughed.
"Tessa you really have a habit of dressing people up" said Ireti as she laughed.
"Well I also did it for you" said Tessa as she smiled.
"Oh please do not remind me of that Tessa, you did that a long time ago" said Tessa,
"Oh but you loved it my dear Reti" said Tessa.
"No I did not, I just could not refuse you, or say anything contrary to what you wanted back then" said Ireti as she laughed.
"Awww" said Tessa as she laughed.
"But you have to admit that my dressing up of you, caused my dear brother over there to open his blind eyes" said Tessa as she laughed.
"Tessa" said Lawrence as he called out to Tessa.
"For the record my eyes were already opened" said Lawrence as he drank his water.
"You should ask Ireti why she rejected me for so long?" asked Lawrence as he looked at Ireti.
"Oh you know why Lawrence" said Ireti.
"You are more than aware of my reasons for saying No back then" said Ireti.
"Well that does not matter anymore" said Lawrence.
"You finally accepted me, and now we are a happy family, and we have a beautiful daughter" said Lawrence as he smiled and he kissed the back of Ireti's hand and she smiled.
"Aww you two are so happy together" said Tessa as she smiled.
"Just like me and my Richie" said Tessa as she turned to look at Richard.
"Right Richie??" she asked as she played with his beard.
"Mhmmm" said Richard.
"Even though we did have to wait a long time before we could finally be together" said Tessa.
"But it was worth it to wait for you my love" said Tessa as she smiled and Richard smiled too.
"Ahh Wura is not here, she would have scolded us all for acting all lovey dovey" said Lawrence as he laughed.
"Well she has no right to, she should go find herself someone to love her too" said Tessa as she laughed and she ate her food.
...
"So you are telling me that Wura is out?? and she went to a ball held in her honour??" asked Beatrice as Alessia was helping her clean up the kitchen after she had prepared dinner.
"Yes, that was what Lady Tessa told me" said Alessia as she helped Beatrice scrub the old iron pots.
"Did you not know that Wura is seeing the Prince???" asked Alessia.
"No this is news to me" said Beatrice as she washed her hands.
"Oh well she is" said Alessia.
"And it would seem that the Prince really likes her" said Alessia.
"And Wura??" asked Beatrice.
"Well she does not seem to be very fond of him" said Alessia as she had noticed that Wura was very cold towards anything that concerned the Prince, even when she was doing her hair, Wura did not look excited as other maidens would have been.
"And why is that??" asked Beatrice.
"Well I am not aware of the reason" said Alessia.
"But what I can tell you is that the Prince is very handsome" said Alessia as he smiled.
"I can just imagine" said Beatrice as she seemed to be thinking as she smiled.
"I have never had the privilege to see him" said Beatrice.
"That is because you are either always cooking, or you have went out with Lady Ireti" said Alessia as she laughed.
"Oh what bad luck I have" said Beatrice as she sighed.
"Haha" said Alessia as she laughed and she washed her hands.
...
"The Princess has been gone for a while now, I think that we should go and look for her" said Mero as he looked at the others.
"Yes, you are right Mero, we should go look for her, she has been gone for far too long" said Zechariah as he looked at Mero.
"I agree with Zechariah" said Luc.
"Maybe she got lost??The Castle is truly very big, and one can easily get lost if they do not know their way around" said Zuph.
"Oh thank the heavens if she did" said Elihu as the four men all turned to look at him with an expression that read "Are you really serious??"
"What is it??" asked Elihu as he did not seem to care at all.
"I am only speaking what is on my mind" said Elihu leisurely.
"Then I would rather prefer that you do not speak what is on your mind, because that is the Princess you are talking about" said Luc.
"Well, she is not officially the Princess yet, Liam has not married her" said Elihu.
"And there is still time for him to change his mind and see the light" said Elihu as he was being petty, he was seriously fighting with a maiden right now.
"You are not serious Elihu" said Zechariah as he looked at Elihu with disappointment.
"I am sure you do not deserve to be a knight with that sort of attitude" said Zuph.
"I beg to differ" said Elihu without caring at all.
"Anyway as I was saying" said Mero as he ignored Elihu.
"We should go and look for the Princess" said Mero.
"Umm Mero I do not think that is no longer necessary" said Zechariah
"Why?" asked Mero.
"Well because the Princess has just returned" said Zechariah as he turned to look at Wura who had now entered the ballroom again, and she was walking towards where they were all standing.
"How convenient" said Mero to himself.
"Please forgive me, I got a little lost" said Wura as she smiled sheepishly as she looked at the men.
"There is no need to apologize Princess" said Mero.
"Yes, we are just relieved that you have returned, seeing as we were about to start looking for you" said Luc.
"Luckily I bumped into his highness on my way" said Wura, it was not a bump, rather she fell on top of him.
"You did??" asked Zuph in surprise.
"Yes I..." said Wura as she was cut off.
"Ladies and Sirs, please welcome his royal highness, Prince Liam Wyverdale" said the announcer as Liam entered the ballroom and everyone turned to look at him.
