Helia had descended the stairs of the palace wearing a soft blue shirt with blue jeans. He headed into the large living room to see his parents, talking to Riven, whom had changed into his Specialist uniform.
His parents had the presence of royalty. Helia's mother had long, waist length blue hair and tan skin. Her eyes were bright blue and had on a strapless purple gown. The king meanwhile was tall in height and black hair. His eyes brown in colour and skin fair. He had on a silk blue shirt with a silk matching colour pants.
"My King and Queen may you have a safe journey to Domino." Riven said.
"Yes. Now come my wife and son we need to leave if we are to make it in time before the ship leaves." The King said as he walked towards the white limo.
"Sky, Timmy and Brandon." Helia called out to the four guards that weren't in the room.
The three males entered the room wearing their Specialist uniform. They formed a line where Riven was.
"Yes, Helia." They said in unison.
Since they were best friends from the days of Red Fountain, they were allowed to call him Helia without the Prince title in front of it much to the dismay of his mother.
"You five will be escorting us to the airport." The queen hissed. "Then you are going to escort Helia back to the palace safe and sound."
"Yes, your highness." Sky answered.
Almost everyone in the kingdom disliked the queen and her bitchy attitude but had to bear it since the king loved her.
She held her head up high and walked towards the town car with the King behind her.
Helia whispered to the group. "Look on the bright side. At least when they are gone for the week, your girlfriends can come over and spend a lot of time."
"Nice." Brandon grinned. "I am going to have a good time with Stella for the week."
"More like we will be hearing her scream your name over and over again." Timmy pointed out.
Hearing the queen yelling from outside, they rushed to the town car.
"Nabu, where can I find tomatoes for my aunt and uncle?" Flora asked.
"Just go down this road and you will see a vendor selling it. Okay?" He replied
"Thank you, Nabu."
"Go faster, you dang driver." They heard a female's voice yell.
The two turned around to see a Lincoln town car driving towards then with four leva bikes surrounding it.
Flora quickly hid behind Nabu and said while sticking her head out "What the...?"
"Flora, have you never seen a car or leva bike before?" The male asked with a puzzle face
"No, I have not. In my village the only mode of transportation is your own two feet and the town ship just a couple miles from it."
"Well prepare to see a lot of them. Every day the King and his family along with several other of the city inhabitants pass here to go into town or the airport." Nabu said while laughing.
As the car passed the house, Helia looked outside to see Flora hiding behind Nabu before looking straight ahead.
Flora saw Helia glanced at her for only a moment and said softly, "He looks very handsome."
"What was that Flora?" Nabu asked as the car and bikes drove passed and vanished.
"Nothing Nabu, it's nothing at all." She replied. "I am guessing the young male at the back with older man and woman is the Prince. He gives off the vibe of that of a royal."
"Yes, he is. He is Prince Helia, the only heir to the throne of Linpeha." He answered. "Not much is known about him since he is not in the public eye all that much."
"Guess that's a good thing. Since he looks to be over eighteen, he is engaged or married already since it is customary for the heir of the land to wed before his or her turn twenty." Flora spoke, softly.
"He is twenty one and not married nor engaged. The prince has turned down every princess that the King and Queen selected for him. He has a high standard and I guess no princess has met that as yet." Nabu commented. "Now shouldn't you be going to buy something for the sir and lady of the house before they come back?"
"Oh thanks for reminding me. See yah." Flora said as she became to run towards the direction Nabu had pointed to earlier.
"Hold up!" He shouted to stop her.
"What is it?" She stopped running.
"You will be passing a restaurant that my fiancée works." He took out a paper bag from the guard post. "It's the only restaurant on route. Ask for Aisha and tell her I sent you."
Taking out a heart shaped locket that was hidden under his shirt, the male opened it to reveal a brunette with curly hair and dark brown eyes and tan skin.
"She looks beautiful." Flora took the bag from him. "I better get going before I get in trouble."
The young female hurried off.
Faragonda was supposed to go shopping with her yesterday for new clothes but had a change of plans. Flora ended up falling asleep was too tried to go out for the remainder of the day so the brunette had to continue wearing her old clothes till later.
