DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THE CHARACTERS
CHAPTER 2
Howl
"Your majesty," I curtsied. He nodded at me. I looked up at my father a lot. He has been one of my role model. I respect him and love him. He taught me a lot of things.
"Howl," his voice echoed in the entire hall. "I have heard you are seen leaving the palace once in awhile." I gulped, this is tough for me. I usuay disguise myself as a commoner or an old man or even a noble man just to observe our people.
"Sometimes," I began "I do leave the palace for a breath of fresh air, Calcifer is always with me of course"
"You know the rules Howl, the neighboring kingdom is spying at us. You'll never know what they would do to you"
"Yes your majesty, I apologize for my childish acts"
I heard him sighed. "You may now leave but also remember the ball next week" he motioned his hand. I bowed respectfully and left the main hall. I was so nervous. As soon as the doors behind me closed I ran hurriedly and changed my clothes.
"Calcifer we should use the portal" I suggested. Calcifer was obviously not happy about it.
"Your father will get angry!" he replied "I would be-"
"Shush, as long as he doesn't know I've been using it" I smiled. I pushed one of my walls and it turned thus revealing my portal door. The door has a knob and each turn represents one place. I turned it twice and then opened it. "Alright Calcifer, let's go!"
"Ugh not again!" Calcifer complained.
SOPHIE
I arrived at the secret hideout. They were all messing things up. The papers are all over the place.
"Sophie! You are my savior!" Markl came running towards me. He was the man on the telephone awhile back. He usually changes his voice when he wants to talk anonymously. But he is actually a 10 year old genius who investigates hard cases. He disguises himself as an old man at certain times.
"Markl" I hushed him down "You better explain to me in a manner that I could understand"
"A Turnip! A turnip man wants our assistance!" he said crying.
"A what again?" I asked. I'm sure I misheard Markl.
"Yes, A turnip man is in need of your service" a deep voice came from behind. He doesn't look like a turnip at all. He is a dazzling man that looks clean and neat. He wore a hat maybe for noble people. He was blonde and tall and strikingly handsome too. He was holding a large turnip in his hand. "My name is Prince Justin from the neighboring kingdom. I am here to ask for your help Miss Sophie. I heard you are quite skilled in your field."
I blushed. No one compliments me this much. "Oh, well, I thank you for that. But what business brings you here that you need my skills?" What the heck am I saying.
He smiled. "I want you to investigate the Royal Family of Ingary," he smiled.
"Wait-what!?" I exclaimed. "That is treason against the King, MY KING. I'm so sorry but I cannot offer you my assistance" I should never go against the king.
"Actually Miss Sophie, it is not treason it is actually HELPING THE ROYAL FAMILY. What I want you to do is simple. Follow and track the Prince of Ingary,"
"Prince Howl!? I cannot do that. I don't even know what he looks like. No one has ever entered the Royal Palace,"
Prince Justin smiled. "I have prepared everything you need." he handed me an invitation eyes grew large. I was stammering
"T-t-the BALL!?" Lettie's dress! Lettie and mother are in the ball. " I can't I'm sorry,"
"It is actually a masquerade ball". He gave me a beautiful feathered mask. "I'll be your escort so no one notices it. Your dress, it is prepared also one for your sister."
This sneaky prince calculated everything. Wise and smart for a fine young man. "So how much will you pay me?"
"Just enough to rennovate your family house" I was shocked. He knew everything so that I wouldn't be able to resist.
"You are quite smart" I said. "Alright. Deal."
