Scene: Queen Clarisse and Joseph had a big fight. What happens when Joseph storms out of her office and leave the palace? Will he ever return? Will everything ever be the same again?
Chapter 1:
They had had many fights over the years. And yes, they had been huge and even dramatic perhaps. But this was probably the biggest and the most dramatic one.
He had stormed out of her office and she hadn't seen him since.
That was 2 hours ago.
Naturally, due to time, she had calmed down. She had continued to work, successful or not, but she had tried. Now she was having her afternoon tea in her office. Usually he would have it with her. Only he would have coffee and not tea. But of cause that wouldn't be the case this afternoon. She understood that and accepted that.
"Charlotte, could you give this document to Joseph for me? And have him sign it and bring it back to me?" asked Clarisse her assistant Charlotte, who had come in with the tea.
"I am sorry mam, but he isn't at the palace at the moment" Charlotte stammered a bit while trying to remain calm and cool.
"Alright, it can wait. Thank you" said Clarisse and continued to drink her tea while sitting on the couch and looking out the huge window in her office.
When tea time was over, Clarisse went back to her desk and continued to work.
A while later Charlotte came in with some documents she had typed in on her computer, for the Queens approval and subsequently her signature. "Has Joseph returned yet from his outing" asked Clarisse. And again Charlotte had to try and stay as calm and cool as before when answering "no mam, not yet".
"If you would like me to, I can call security to hear if they know anything" said Charlotte. "No, no that won't be necessary" said Clarisse.
But where was he? He had never left her for that long, and he had definitely not left palace grounds for that long – not without her at least.
