Chương 3: Meeting the King
A shiny black limousine? Okay what is really going on? I turn to Sir Ranold to ask but he walks up to the limo door and opens it quickly. I am hesitant about getting in but I don't see I have much of a choice, I slide into the limo and am brought up short to see someone already inside.
The limousine door closes and Sir Ranold makes his way to the seat up front next to the driver. The security partition between the front and back slowly closes and I finally take a good look at the man who was sitting on the other side of me.
KING HARRID
I sit there gaping for a second before remembering myself and slam my mouth close. Of course I recognized him, he is the king. I know he ordered me detained but why am I in his limo? He can see my distress but says not a word just observes me and I in turn openly stare at him.
His hair black as night looked mused as if someone had run their hand through it a few too many times, he is wearing a dark blue business suit with crisp white shirt and dark blue tie, his hands looked sturdy but it was when my eyes started to travel lower he says "You finished?"
My gaze jumps right to his. The dark eyes have a hint of humor but I just nod my head.
Since I am in the presence of a King I know better than to speak without permission even I who bucks the rules a lot knows that much.
We travel along for what seems like forever but was probably only five minutes in complete silence. I alternate looking a my hands in my lap and peeking looks at him. Every time I look to him he is staring at me, I am left to wonder for the millionth time what what is going on?
Finally the silence is broken by the driver over the intercom letting the passengers know about a detour due to an accident up ahead. I looked out the window for the first time and saw we were headed towards the suburbs. He must have seen the question on my face for he suddenly says "We are heading to the home of a friend of mine, your questions will be answered when we arrive."
Not sure if I am allowed to speak I raise my hand a little. He just laughed while looking at my meek request to speak.
"You are curious as to why you were taken from the airport I assume."
"Well yes" I reply. "But mostly why am I in your limo?"
He laughs once again before speaking "Because I wished it so. As I just said your questions will be answered in full after we arrive at our destination."
Since I am not going to get any answers now I start checking out the limos interior. There was what looked like a mini bar, the intercom system and a vase of pink roses. Roses? Now you're wondering why a vase of roses would stump me, well it is the type of rose in the vase.
The roses in this limo are Timpika roses, you haven't heard of Timpika roses? These were a new variety of roses recently founded a few years ago when I attended university. There shouldn't have been any outside of the university's botany lab but here was a vase of a dozen perfect pink ones.
Chương 4: Princess?
The car finally stopped outside a old beautiful mansion. The front facade was a soft brown brick with large windows surrounded by dark brown shutters and there was a large porch coming out from the second floor. There was a paved stone walkway leading to a massive oak door that made me think of a medieval castle gate.
The limo door is opened and I wait for the King to vacate the vehicle but he motions for me to alight first. I cautiously exit the vehicle and am awed to see the line of servants waiting for our arrival. The king takes my arm and begins directing me into the building. I turn my head to the right and left as I watch the servants bow to the king upon our entrance.
Sir Ranold whom I just noticed was ahead of us was standing in the doorway of a fancy parlor. We were ushered into the parlor and I was asked to sit down. I had still not had a chance to take two steps into the room when a little old lady pushing a tea cart came into the room. I smell the aroma of foreign spices and could see little tea cakes which makes my stomach grumble at the deliciousness of it all.
I could feel my cheeks turning a bright red as everyone in the room looked my way. I ducked my head closed my eyes wanting to disappear from the embarrassment.
When I open my eyes I see the King had taken a seat and was waiting for me to sit also, I quickly sit down. A fragrant cup of tea is served and I gently choose a pretty cake but don't take even a bite as I am too nervous to eat in front of the King.
I am sitting in front of the King sipping tea and he is just watching me. I just can't take it all the quiet and not a word being spoken so I set down my cup with a loud clink. I start to open my mouth when the King stands up.
"It's about time." the King says too someone behind me. I turn to look and see a well dressed man had just entered the room. This new man was in well tailored pin striped dark gray suit with a dark red tie his shiny black shoes were gleaming bright but it was his face that truly caught my attention.
Dark blue eyes are open wide staring at me, his mouth hanging open in what looked like shock. I am about to look back at the King just as I hear the man in the doorway stutter.
"P p princess Katherine?"
I look at King Harrid and back at the new gentleman with a confusion. Princess?
