Chapter 4 - To his office

"I have no idea what I dreamed last night because it was confusing. It told me I would meet someone on the trip, and something happened while we were at the castle. But the question is what will happen, and who is this person who I will meet?" Mrs Sprocket knows Belle Rose is curious about the dream and helps her dress.

They went downstairs and had breakfast with Rocket. Mrs Sprocket waited for the perfect opportunity to inform Belle Rose what Mr Godwin told her last night, and Belle Rose was about to leave the table. When Mrs Sprocket placed her left hand on Belle Rose's right hand, and Belle Rose stared at her in shock. 

Mrs Sprocket took a deep breath and spoke. "After you went to bed, I spoke to Mr Godwin, who told me you can stay here until the trip." Belle Rose realises what Mrs Sprocket is telling her and adds. "That means that I can stay away from my parents and show them that I am in charge of my life as they are not."

Mrs Sprocket nodded, and Belle Rose tried not to cry. Mrs Sprocket knew Belle Rose had long waited to escape her parents and show them who was in charge of her life. Mrs Sprocket let Belle Rose get ready with her school bag, and they left for school. Belle Rose gave the slip to Mrs Vary, and so did her classmates. It was announced who would be paired up with, and Belle Rose was over the moon after being paired with Fatima.

Fatima was overjoyed she would be paired up with Belle Rose and knew they would enjoy the trip. Fatima and the other classmates are overjoyed to hear Belle Rose will be going on the trip with them. The headteacher sent more information to Fatima and other classmates. He gave one to Mrs Sprocket, and she knew she could tell Belle Rose that she had got the information after school.

Belle Rose was learning more German and writing questions she could ask the tour guides and the shopkeepers. Mr Godwin summoned Belle Rose, Mrs Sprocket, and Mrs Vary to his office. Belle Rose knew it was the first time she had been summoned to the headteacher's office and had no clue what he would say. 

Belle Rose bumped into Mrs Sprocket and Mrs Vary as she headed to the headteacher's office. They told her they had also been summoned to the headteacher's office, and Belle Rose was relieved to know that she was not alone in seeing the headteacher.

They walked into the headteacher's office, and Mr Godwin asked them to sit down as he explained why he had summoned them to his office. Belle Rose felt overwhelmed to know Ayers would not be back until the day of the school trip that she would be going on, and he had no idea about the wedding at all.

Mr Godwin told Belle Rose that her parents were heading to where Ayers was and discussing the wedding with him. He also told her they won't return until the day after the school trip. Mrs Sprocket gave Belle Rose more information about the trip, and they both knew that Belle Rose had packed the right clothes and shoes to wear while on the trip.

Belle Rose was told that the school trip was on Friday, and she knew she would have the time of her life. Belle Rose was allowed to go to the school library to research the castle she was going to and realised that it was the same castle from her dreams. 

Belle Rose wrote the history of the castle and traced the castle on a piece of paper. Mrs Sprocket walked into the library and saw Belle Rose was researching the castle they would visit. Mrs Sprocket knew Belle Rose wanted to learn more about the castle than she already did, and she let her focus on the research.

Mrs Sprocket somehow works out that something will happen to Belle Rose when they are at the castle and gets a strange feeling that the dream that Belle Rose had last night will come true. Belle Rose is allowed to take the book about the castle with her as she goes back to Mrs Sprocket's home after school and continues researching in her own time.

The school finished, and Belle Rose left with Mrs Sprocket as they headed towards Mrs Sprocket's home. Mrs Sprocket allowed Belle Rose to use the dining table to continue researching the castle they were going to for the school trip, and she got some drinks for her and Belle Rose. 

Belle Rose wrote six pages of the history of the castle and drew the castle thrice. Belle Rose knew her dream last night would come actual no matter what and drew the image of the Prince in her dream last night. Belle Rose knew she had seen his face before but could not put a finger on it. Belle Rose knew she could ask Mrs Sprocket and called out.

"Mrs Sprocket, can you please help me with something? I can't work it out and wonder if you knew who I draw." Mrs Sprocket came and saw the drawing Belle Rose had done. Mrs Sprocket knew who the drawing was of as she sat beside Belle Rose and replied. "I know who you just drew, and it is Prince Willem. He is the Prince of the Netherlands and is mourning his late brother, sister-in-law, nephew, wife, and unborn child. I do not know where he is, and do you know where he could be?"

Belle Rose nodded and replied. "I do know where he is because he is at the castle we are going to on the school trip. I know that much because he was in my dream last night. Mrs Sprocket could not believe what she heard but knew Belle Rose was telling the truth. Belle Rose knew she could not tell anyone else the information and knew she would meet Prince Willem at the castle.
