Chapter 22 - CHAPTER 21

A car was seen entering a beautiful designed and crafted gate, it was a blue Ferrari, the gate then opened enabling the car to enter, as the car drove into the estate, a magnificent castle was seen, the height of the castle was equivalent to five stories of a building, the Ferrari then parked in front of the castle and servants were seen rushing to the front of the castle and as soon as the front passenger seat door opened they all bowed in unison saying,

"Welcome back, the stars of our esteemed Kingdom", Jasmine came out and rushed into the castle ignoring their greetings, while a man stepped out of the car and ordered them,

"You may rise"

"Thank you, Lord Namir" They all said in unison and raised their heads.

The man had the same silver hair as Jasmine but Golden eyes, he had a handsome face, an athletic body, his hair was a bit rough but as styled, he also had chocolate colored skin,

"Yeah, help get our stuff from the car" he told one of the servants as he threw the keys to him,

"Yes, your Highness"

"Cleo are you gonna be alright?". Namir asked Cleo as well she came out of the car holding a book,

"Yeah, I'll meet you inside" Cleo told him and he nodded and entered into the castle while Cleo brought out a little piece of paper from her Jean pocket and looked at the contents and a dark and grim look appeared on her face but as quickly as it came it vanished, she then froze the paper and broke it into pieces as she mumbled something to herself, then she told one of the servants as she entered the castle,

"Could you please get the books I bought from the car"

"Yes my lady"

******************

In the castle, servants were seen running up and down with equipments and decorations for the celebration while a middle aged lady ordered them around, she was the headmaid of the palace, her name was BEATRICE, she has been the headmaid for 25 years, she had a lean but tall figure, she had a grey colored hair and eyes,

"Maria, put those ribbons to the right and Anton bring both the gold and silver plates"

"Yes ma'am"

"We must make Her Highness's the best no one has ever seen"

"Yes ma'am"

She then checked her pocket watch and it said 12:00, she put it back in the pocket of her skirt and headed towards the kitchen, on her way she met Cleo carrying two bags of chips and two bottles of soda,

"Oh Cleo, how are you?" Beatrice asked her as she came closer,

"Ah, Hello Mrs. Beatrice" Cleo greeted when she noticed her,

"How many times have I told you to drop the formalities"

"Ah, sorry about that" Cleo apologized bowing,

"Oh dear... How's your cousin" She asked her,

"Which one?" Cleo asked raising her head,

"You know Ezekiel"

"Oh, he's doing well thanks for asking" She answered smiling,

"You're welcome dear, enjoy your stay here" Beatrice said and excused her,

"Hmm" Cleo bowed and left for her room.
