At the Castle.
"Good morning Princess Daphne."
"Morning Butler Enrick. How are you doing this fine morning?"
"It's a lovely day today and you chose to visit the palace today after not being here most of the time so I'm happy about that too."
"Thank you Butler Enrick. I appreciate the kind words."
"Of course you're practically a daughter to me well. Both you and your sister."
"And you're a second dad to me, as important as my first dad. I'd freshen up now.
Be careful while running errands, we don't want that ol back bone of yours breaking anytime soon now do we?"
"You're something else."
"Guess where I got that from?"
"I know you got it from me, even your father and mother say that everytime but we'd split it. You're dad is just as rebellious so why blame it all on me?"
"Right. That's not fair at all, let's blame you all then."
"Good call. I'd see you soon."
"Of course, stay safe."
Butler Enrick is practically a second dad to Daphne and Amidala, he has been with them since they were in diapers but Daphne is closer to Butler Enrick than her dad and no doubt Butler Enrick loves the girls but he has more of a soft spot for Daphne because he felt this connection with her as soon as he held her in his arms and Daphne held his finger with her little hand but he's always there for the girls.
The times the king and queen travelled for meetings, etc he'd stay with Daphne and protect her as the king and queen had a lot of enemies who wanted to kill Daphne or kidnap her and do all sorts or despicable things to her if they had the opportunity so they played it safe and hid her away from everyone except those who served her and helped take care of her.
The king and queen's enemies almost succeeded in taking her away a handful of times but luckily anytime they thought they had her Butler Enrick saved her, perks of serving in the military Butler Enrick was a very good fighter so it made it easier to take out enemies.
After taking a shower and dressing up in casual black clothes, they are not casual to the normal person since Daphne was dressed up a few millions worth of clothes as well as the accessories and shoes but it was casual enough for Daphne as this is the first time in a very long time she decided to wear 'casual clothes' other than the usual tux to work.
Making her way to the dining room Daphne came to a halt when she heard rushed steps approaching her.
