By the time Elise and her company arrived at the palace, they were totally exhausted and the beautiful mansion was hardly noticeable by them. They were immediately ushered in by several palace maids as they were led into a room that the family had been waiting for them.
"Welcome home my granddaughter," Celeste was the first to speak up hugging her tightly.
"Thanks grandmother but I'm too exhausted, let me have a seat" Elise said as she sat on the couch at the entrance of the room.
"I'm sorry my dear, you had to walk along way here and considering your condition. And everyone please make yourselves at home," Celeste said and the three sisters welcomed everyone warmly. The maids then started pouring in with various delicacies that they arranged well on the table. Elise couldn't not wait when the sweet aroma assaulted her nose, she asked one of the maids to get her chicken wings for a taste. Everyone broke into laughter as the room became suddenly cool and friendly.
