Storytime With Stella
By: narutoprincess
Chapter 9
It was a week later. King Mac, Lady Peyton and all the palace workers were heading to London for their wedding on a boat. All of Lady Peyton's family was there and the palace workers WERE King Mac's family. But King Mac still felt bad that Stella the Advisor wasn't coming with them. Lady Peyton was going on and on about her family and how they'd love him, but all King Mac was thinking about was Stella the Advisor. From his limited responses, Lady Peyton could tell that King Mac wasn't paying attention.
"You know, it's a pity Stella couldn't come."
King Mac looked up at his fiancée at the mention of Stella the Advisor.
"Yeah. It is."
Lady Peyton was disgusted with his small response and the disheveled look on King Mac's face when he said it.
"I guess she doesn't care about you anymore. I mean, you don't care about her. You just invited her because you invited evryone else."
King Mac walked over to Lady Peyton angrily. She was almost frightened by how red his face was and his loud voice.
"I DO care about Stella. And I invited her because I WANTED her at my wedding. She was my friend for years. And I'm SURE she still cares about me!"
King Mac started to calm down and sat back on the bed. Lady Peyton regained her composure and sat down beside him.
"I'm sorry. Listen, let's just not mention her again, okay?"
She leaned in to kiss him, but King Mac brushed her off. She'd pulled a nerve.

Below the "happy" couple's room on the boat, was the hold. Little did they know, someone was in that hold. And they'd heard everything the couple had just said. When King Mac had yelled at Lady Peyton, this person had smiled. He had been defending her.

"Stella the Advisor's on the boat?"
Mindy had burst out unexpectedly. Stella smiled.
"Yep."
"So, that was their plan?"
"Well, part of it. Do you want to know the rest?"
Mindy nodded. She was absolutely captivated by this story. Stella continued on.
