Chapter 4: Recalling the Royal Mess
Birk Balthazar was visiting his daughter Sofia at her stepfather's castle. "Sofia, what's your favorite part of the castle?" He asked.
"Mr. Cedric's lab, Papa." She answered after deciding between this and her secret garden.
"Really?" Birk was confused. "Do you really like sorcery that much?"
"Yes, Papa."
"Sofia, I know you're a Princess now but, don't you have normal interests like going to a circus?" Birk asked. There's still so much he didn't know about his daughter.
"You should have seen what happened the first time the Goldenwing Circus came after Sof became a Princess, Birk." James happily commented.
"James, do you really have to bring it up?" Amber asked in annoyance.
"What happened?" Birk asked and Sofia then took him to the room where the stained glass window featuring the Royal Family was located. She explained about the royal mess James made and how he, Sofia and Amber tried to fix it. "Hahahahahahahahahaha." Birk laughed. "Did you really think moving the armor would have worked?"
"Hey!" James protested. "How'd I know it'd further break the glass?"
"That's beside the point, Prince James." Birk explained. "Did you really think your father would forget the armor wasn't initially blocking your twin's face from sight?"
James hesitated before answering. "Uh, yes?"
"I should have known it was a bad idea since it was James who came up with it." Amber arrogantly commented.
"Anyway, did you like the show, Sofia?" Birk asked not only out of genuine curiosity but also out of desire to stop the twins' arguing.
"Yes, Papa." Sofia answered.
"In that case, Sofia, I'll keep an eye in case a circus shows up at the village." Birk offered.
"Good luck trying to find something that's a match for Goldenwing Circus." Amber scoffed at Birk's idea. "Not a chance another circus will impress people who already watched a Goldenwing show."
"I'll give it a try anyway, Papa." Sofia politely accepted Birk's invitation.
