"Stop" A voice said and everyone stopped.
Prince Andrew showed up,Naveah gasped.
"Hey brother" Andrew smiled and shook hands with Zayne.
"What are you doing here anyway? Mind dropping me in school?" He asked.
"Where's your car?" Prince Zayne asked.
"It's not bad if you drop me" Andrew winked and entered the car.
Zayne looked at Moana for a second before joining Andrew in the car,the guards also left.
Naveah sighed out loudly.
"Thank goodness,that was close" She said and then stared at Moana.
"What" Moana asked.
"You don't know what would have happened if prince Andrew never appeared..."
"This Is all your fault not mine,none of these would have happened if you didn't ask me
6PM★RED GOLD CASTLE^QUEEN KARINA'S SUITE**
The queen just finished eating,she took a long sip from her wine as the maids packed the dishes.
"Is my daughter back home?" She questioned all of a sudden.
"No your highness,the princess isn't back from school" One of the maids replied.
"Get me my phone" Queen Karina said at once.
"Here your highness..."
"Everyone,leave. I want to be alone" she said.
The maids bowed at once and walked out.
Queen Karina dialed Brielle's number and she answered at once.
Where are you this time?
Can you at least let me rest? I'm having fun with my friends
Brielle hung up before the queen could say more.
"Seriously?" Queen Karina scoffed.
As she got up from the dining Table,Hector came in with an angry look on his face.
Hector is the queen's brother,He's been staying in the castle ever since the queen herself got in,she claimed he only has him as his family so the king permitted him to become a part of his family. He was in the palace even before King Cyrus was born,He's thirty years old and the one handling the family companies for now,though he haven't been announced yet as the CEO officially.
"What is it this time?" Queen Karina asked,sitting in front of her dressing mirror.
"You said you will do something about this,you said it won't take long. When the f**k will he step down and make me the company successor? He's the king already,is he going to be only one,I'm the one managing the companies but I still have to follow his tone each time he calls,it's f**king annoying..."
"I told you to calm down Hector,you don't expect him to just hand over to you when his sister is there" Queen Karina said.
"Irene isn't even home,oh please" Hector snapped.
"She will be back" Queen Karina said.
"So are you telling me you won't do anything? I am just going to stay under that kid forever? You should find a way to make him sign the papers and make me the companies owner completely" Hector half yelled.
"Don't shout at me! I know what I'm doing okay?!" Queen Karina yelled.
"You better hurry up with whatever you're doing,I don't have too much chills and you know that" Hector said angrily and stormed out of the suite.
Queen Karina sighed out.
"He's such an headache" Queen Karina muttered.
"Anyone out there?" She called and immediately three maids entered.
"What is the king up to tonight?" She asked.
"The king have a private dinner with lady Rose,that's all we know"
"Inform Jerome and Jericho that I would like to see the king....maybe tomorrow" Queen Karina said.
"Yes your highness" The maids bowed and left.
**
The king's car drove into the castle and the guards immediately positioned themselves in a deep bow,the door was opened for him and he came out.
"Welcome back your majesty!!" They all chorused at once.
King Cyrus turned toward his chamber,only Jerome and Jericho followed behind him.
"What time am I supposed to meet Rose?" King Cyrus asked.
"7pm your majesty" Jericho replied.
"What's the time now?"
"6:40pm your majesty,she will definitely have to wait your majesty,your outfit has been prepared already,please freshen up and....."
"I'm going to take a nap,you two can come back when I'm awake" King Cyrus muttered.
Jericho and Jerome blinked their eyes in disbelief.
"Yes your majesty!" They bowed at once and watched as the king went into his chamber and closed the door.
"Did he.....did he just said he want to take a nap??" Jerome asked again.
"It's 6:45" Jericho sighed out loudly.
"I pity lady Rose in advance" Jerome muttered and they both laughed before turning back toward their rooms. Unlike the other palace guards,they both have their separate rooms in the main building,so they can attend to the king faster than anyone else.

8PM★THE KING'S PRIVATE DINING HALL**
Rose checked the time again and sighed out,she bite her lips.
"Is he still coming?" She muttered impatiently. She was about loosing hope when suddenly the door opened and King Cyrus entered. She immediately stood up excitedly.
"My king" She called and walked over to him,she tried hugging him but he snubbed the hug and went to sit down.
"I have just thirty minutes to spend here and it starts already" King Cyrus spoke up and Rose smiled,she also sat down.
"Thanks for coming even with your busy schedules,I feel so honored right now" Rose said,smiling widely.
The maids started dishing out the meals one after the other,the king's food was tasted before he was allowed to eat.
The maids stayed still after they were done.
"My king" Rose called and Cyrus looked up.
"Can you please tell them to leave? It's uncomfortable" She requested.
The king looked at the maids,they bowed at once and rushed out of the hall.
Rose let out a smile but it was short lived because almost immediately,the door opened again ,Jericho and Jerome entered.
Rose looked at them.
"We are sorry but we can't leave the king alone with just anyone" Jerome said respectfully with a short bow.
"Oh" Rose mumbled and bite her lips.
King Cyrus only kept on eating without saying a word,Rose was staring at him the whole time,even though she have been preparing to meet him for months,now that she's in front of him,she can't even find her voice or the right word,the king doesn't seem to care either,he was just eating slowly.
"Is she going to talk or not?" Jerome whispers as they watched them
