They got to the house and Ella knocked on the door. A minute went by and a man opened up the door. "Ella. My Darling Daughter."

"Hello, Father."

"Who's at the door!" Came a woman's voice from upstairs.

"Dame Olga is here?!" Ella asked getting angry.

"Now, Hunny. She's just staying here until she finds a new home. We're getting a divorce." Her father said.

"Char. Lets go home. I don't want to be here."

"Ella!" Her father said appalled.

"I'm not speaking to that BITCH! I'm sorry, Father, but I will not come here unless she's gone. Goodbye." Ella said and turned walking off towards the castle.

"Ella! Hunny!" Char yelled after her and following to catch up.

He caught up within a minute and grabbed her wrist making her turn to face him. "Char, let go of me."

"My Ella, lets just talk about this."

"When we get home. I will not speak one word of this until then."

Char sighed. "Fine. But we will talk."

"Yes of course." She sighed. "I'm sorry." She started tearing up and crying.

Char pulled her into a comforting hug. "It's ok, Hunny."

Ella hugged him tight and just cried into his chest. He picked her up bridal style and carried her back to the castle.


Once at the castle, the guards let them in. "Welcome home, Your Highnesses." The guard at the main entrance said.

"Thank you." Char said. Ella was still in tears and clinging to her husband.

"Is something wrong with the queen, Your Highness?"

"Nothing serious. It's just hormones. She's pregnant." The new king informed him.

"Oh. Well, congratulations to you both, Sir."

"Thank you, Charles. I'm gonna take her to our quarters. Will you inform the cook to prepare lunch and bring it there?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Char nodded and proceeded to carry his wife to their room. Ella was slowly stopping her tears as they entered the room and Char layed her on the bed. She wiped her tears and Char spoke again. "I'm sorry I was wrong about her not being there, Hunny. I had no idea. I was just assuming with the kind of man your father is, he'd kick her out on the street just for the way she and those girls treated you. If it were me in his place, I'd have them out on the street the next day of informing the woman I wanted a divorce."

That got a slight laugh out of her as she wiped the rest of her tears away. "It's not your fault she's still there, Char. My father is just nice that way. It's just how he's always been."

"Why'd he marry her in the first place?"

"He said we were almost broke and he either had to marry someone with money or sell the house, so he married."

"So he married her for the money?"

"Yes, but he had said she was fond of his kind. I believed him until I met her. So it wasn't just the money."

"I see, but then..."

"But then she showed her true self by treating me the way she did."

"So that's why he wants the divorce. But what about the money? He won't be able to do the job he does and still keep the house."

"I don't know. He loves his job and won't leave it. He likes it too much to do so."

"Then he shall move into the castle with us. He's my family too now."

"No. He wouldn't allow that."

"Well then, we'll give him the extra money he needs to keep the house and whatever he needs for food to put on the table for himself."

"That's very sweet, Char, but he wouldn't take that."

"That's nonsense. We'll give him the money for it and that way he can stay close to you and his grandchild. You're all he has left besides that household fairy. What was her name again?"

"Mandy."

"Yeah. Her. She's living there still and that boyfriend Benny of hers. They'll need it. And I am more than willing to sacrifice a little of our money to help them. It's not like we'll run out by helping them."

"That's true. But Mandy will be out of work there without me there."

"Then I'll hire her to work here in the castle. And I'll pay her four times what she is now. And if Benny needs a job, then he can work here too. And they can stay in one of the extra rooms."

"Really? You'd do that?"

"Anything for you, My Love. Just name it."

Ella smiled gratefully. "Then lets do it. Lets go visit my father again in four days and we'll tell them everything."

"That's My Ella." He said and kissed her softly.
