The Mother of all Aftermath and Revelations
It is a bright Tuesday morning in Enchancia as Roland, Baileywick, Miranda, Constable Myles, Cedric, Kimberly, Lady Agatha, Enrique, Sofia, and Madeline are at Spencer's cottage as they are assessing the damage that happened in the brawl. They see all sorts of things torn up, trashed, broken, and or damaged all over the floor, furniture is damaged, a couple of bookshelves are on the floor damaged as well. Plus there are glasses from dishes that are broken on the floor as well. "They really made a huge mess of things in the cottage didn't they"? Sofia said to them as she was wondering about it.
Constable Myles looks at Sofia as he is more confused about what the neighbors said. "Yes they did Princess Sofia. What frustrates me is that the neighbors told me that none of them heard a thing. They even told me that Spencer is that silent neighbor that no one checks on". Constable Myles said to them as he is deeply pondering how they can do that to their own neighbor.
Madeline looks around as she spots a pin on the floor as she is about to grab it. "That is Dr. Elizabeth's pen, she used to check the eyes with". Madeline said to them as she was about to pick it up.
Enrique turns to look at Madeline as he sees what she is about to do. "Don't pick it up with your bare hands, Madeline. Each item on the floor is key evidence in the crime. Every object tells a story on how it happened". Enrique said to Madeline as he had an idea.
Madeline looks at Enrique as she is kind of confused as Sofia agrees. "How can an object tell a story about Grandfather"? Sofia asks Enrique as she needs to see a good example of it.
Enrique looks at the two girls as he leads them outside as the other adults follow him. "This window has a story to tell on how it got broken and that pan landed on the ground. The glass patterns around it and how it never got moved elsewhere reveals how things happened". Enrique said to them in a better sense.
Constable Myles looks at Enrique as he is getting the feeling who he is. "You know a lot about investigations don't you". Constable Myles said to Enrique as he was wondering what he does for a living.
Enrique looks at Constable Myles as he nods as they go back inside. "Yes, you can say that Constable Myles. He grabs out his wand as he has an idea. 'I am going to cast a special scene spell on the entire cottage to get an exact idea of what happened here. The spell will show the people who were here last before us and the things that were said and done. Once I start the spell, no one can talk. I want everyone to stand back please and stay quiet and watch". Enrique said to them.
Roland and Miranda look at each other as this is something that Madeline and Sofia should not see. "Madeline, Sofia, I want you two to wait in the carriage please". Miranda said to them as this could be bad for them.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she pouts as she wants to see it. "We want to see things from the spell mom. I have never seen a spell like that from Mr. Cedric before". Madeline said to Miranda as she explained that she has not seen Cedric do it.
Miranda looks at the girls as she sighs as this is a very adult thing to watch. "My answer is no Madeline. Go with Sofia and wait in the carriage for us". Miranda said to them as she is trying to be firm with her. Sofia gets Madeline to head towards the carriage.
Enrique sees them leaving the cottage as he gets started with the spell. The adults are stunned as they see the time scene spell in effect. The cottage goes to the way it was before on that Saturday night. The adults are seeing Spencer, Elizabeth, Samuel, and Hannah being teleported there as the three unwelcome individual start attacking Spencer. Spencer is fighting back against them as she trying to hold them off on her own. She even got creative on things as she threw the pots and pans out and broke the windows in hoping that it would have gotten some attention. However, it was not enough though as Elizabeth, Samuel, and Hannah threw physical blows on Spencer during the brawl. As Elizabeth, Samuel, and Hannah are about to leave, Elizabeth says something very eerie and cryptic towards Spencer who is on the floor and in pain. The time scene spell ends as it went back to normal.
Miranda frowns as she is furious about it. "Elizabeth must have planned all of this all along. She also dropped that pen during the brawl last night". Miranda said to them as she was furious that the doctor did this and had helped with it.
Roland agrees as he had Sofia and Madeline wait in the carriage this whole time. "I agree. Plus there is no doubt in my mind that Spencer fought back. Plus she probably knew if we try to get involved with things, Elizabeth will not have a problem with punishing us". Roland said to them as he is getting the feeling that is what happened. As the adults leave the cottage, Enrique uses a teleport spell to get Sofia and Madeline to school and the rest of them go back to the castle.
It has been a couple of days since Kimberly has moved into the castle and Madeline's grounding. Plus things are in full swing for the upcoming wedding. However, Madeline's attitude about Spencer's is slowly beginning to change. Everyone is at the table for breakfast as Roland and Miranda look at the kids and grandparents. "Kids, tonight, Baileywick, Nigel, Dottie, and Nancy will be joining us for dinner". Roland said to them as he made the announcement to them.
Amber looks at them as this is an exciting change as normally the royal steward does not join them for dinner. "Wow, why is he joining us for dinner"? Amber asks them as they are wondering what is going on.
Miranda looks at Amber as it is something that needs to be told to them. "Well, Baileywick will have something to tell all of us and learning more about Nancy and Dottie. Sofia, please, if either Nancy or Dottie don't feel comfortable with answering difficult questions, please don't push them on the matter". Miranda said to Sofia as she does not a repeat from last time that they had a guest at dinner.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she is aware what Sofia did when she was prying Spencer about things in her life. "But mom, Nancy and Dottie seems nice". Madeline said to Miranda as her curiosity to ask the uncomfortable questions as a justifiable thing and Sofia agrees.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she nods to them. "They are nice Madeline. However everyone has experience some sort of hardships that they may or may not be comfortable with talking about it just like with Spencer". Miranda said to Madeline as she wants them to be mindful on asking harsh questions.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she sighs as she wanted to ask them. "I know mom. I already met them before". Madeline said to Miranda as she knows that they are good people.
Miranda nods as she looks at them. "Good", Miranda said to Madeline as breakfast is over. The kids gets up from the table. Baileywick is holding their school bags as he hands them off to them. The kids are sent off to school for the day as the adults are sitting together to talk.
Miranda sighs as she has been thinking about things especially the exact moments that the brawl happened to Spencer that Saturday night. "The dinner with them, it will be a huge wake up call for the kids". Miranda said to them as she realizes that they will have an eye opener on things.
Roland looks at Miranda as the other adults are kind of confused about it. "How so Miranda? You look like something is on your mind". Roland asks Miranda as he is getting the feeling that she has new idea that needs to be brought to the kingdom.
Miranda looks at Roland as she is deeply thinking about Spencer. "Well, ever since we have learned the truth that Elizabeth is not Spencer's mother by any means, the kids do not realize that some mothers out there are deeply cruel in various degrees. It is a sad reality for them. Plus, there is no doubt in my mind that Renee also fits to that category as well ". Miranda said to Roland as she knows that Renee is a horrible mother.
Kimberly looks at Roland as she agrees as she is wondering about what to do. "I agree with Miranda. It might be that some mothers are more neglectful than deeply cruel like Elizabeth. Plus it is possible that someone grew up their whole lives without a mother as well". Kimberly said to Roland as she was thinking about it.
Miranda looks at Kimberly as she is getting the feeling on who she is talking about now. "You mean Amber and James don't you". Miranda said to Kimberly as she is making a guess about it.
Kimberly looks at Miranda as she has a faint smile as it is exactly who she meant. "Yes dear, Amber and James didn't have a mother until you came along. Their birth mother died not long after they were born". Kimberly said to Miranda as she explained it further.
Roland looks at them as it gives him a lot to think about. "I guess I need to realize that not all parents, especially mothers, are not truly loving. Plus how could I have hired a wanted criminal for a crime in a different kingdom with a job here in the castle. I did not cross check with other kingdoms if she is wanted there. Plus how could Renee get a job at Royal Prep without going through a background check either, and double check with various constable offices in the entire Ever Realm. As a father, I have a duty to protect the kids. As a king, I should protect the people of Enchancia. When it came to Spencer, I did not protect her twice because of that stupid castle policy when she was a kid and again on that Saturday night". Roland said to them as he is wondering about what needs to be done about it.
Roland first looks at Roland as he agrees as he has heard about that policy that got in the castle. "Dr. Elizabeth was able to blind you with words to get you to see the things that she wanted you to see. Her real agenda was to deceive everyone including your son. It is not your fault". Roland the first said to Roland as he does not blame him for it.
Miranda looks at Roland as she agrees as she is wondering about it. "I agree. It is not your fault Roland. Plus, after we learn more about Nancy's, Dottie's, and Spencer's childhood past, I think we all need to have a special conversation on how we can make some serious changes on how to protect kids and adults from neglect, abusive, or deeply controlling situations. Also, this is not just a problem in just this kingdom. It is something that needs to be addressed to all of the kingdoms in the Ever Realm". Miranda said to them as she believes that it is an issue to be brought up to other royals.
Kimberly looks at Roland as she also agrees with Roland the first. "Miranda is right dear. It is a huge wake up call to us". Kimberly said to Roland that something needs to be done about it.
Roland the First nods as he is wondering about Renee and when she will be brought to justice as well. "Also, I think it is high time that you put in an inquiry to the royal school board about Renee. We may have found out that Elizabeth is a wanted criminal the hard way, but I do not want that to happen again on Renee". Roland the first said to Roland as they need to get that done first. As the other adults agree, they are going to have no idea just how rough Spencer had it growing up.
At Royal Prep, it is time for recess as everyone is out on the playground. Sofia has a lot on her mind as the other kids are playing and chatting. Madeline, Amber, and James are with her. "I am wondering why Baileywick, Dottie, Nancy, and his brother Nigel are joining us for dinner tonight as well. I mean it is not Baileywick's birthday. That was back in April, and it is already in the middle of May". Sofia said to them as she was wondering about it.
Amber looks at Sofia as she remembers about Nigel. "Yeah, if memory serves me correctly, the only time we saw Nigel was several years ago. This is very sudden and unexpected". Amber said to them that something about it is very mysterious and circumstantial.
Madeline looks at Amber as she remembers what happened Saturday night. "Very sudden and unexpected, that is the two prefect words to describe it. The thing I still find unexpected and very sudden is that Baileywick protected Cedric from Dr. Elizabeth". Madeline said to them as Sofia agrees as she saw it happen as well.
James looks at Madeline and Sofia as he is dumbfounded to learn about it. "Baileywick, are you talking about our Baileywick. He actually protect Cedric from Dr. Elizabeth". James said to them as he is processing the news.
Amber is stunned by this as she didn't know about it. 'Baileywick of all people protected Cedric of all people. Why is that thought'? Amber asks herself as she looks at Sofia and Madeline. "When did this happen"? Amber asks them as they didn't know about it.
Sofia looks at them as she witnessed it. "It was that Saturday night in the castle infirmary. We were about to leave to head back to Spencer's neighborhood when Elizabeth confronted us and eyed at Cedric the most. It is like she wanted to punish him the most for some reason". Sofia said to them as she is wondering why she was going to hurt Cedric.
James looks at them as he is wondering about it as it is completely mind blowing. "It just feels weird that Baileywick of all people would protect Cedric. I mean if it is most likely person it would be you or Madeline". James said to them as he is trying to picture it.
Sofia agrees as she is wondering how and why it happened that way. "Yeah I know James. It just does not make a lot of sense though". Sofia said to James as she thinks deeper about it. 'Could it be that is Baileywick's role in things'? Sofia asks herself as she is getting the feeling that could be the case.
Amber looks at Sofia as she sees it another way. "At the same time, it might be someone who is an unlikely person. Plus who knew that Baileywick had it in him to protect Cedric like that". Amber said to them as she brought up another point.
Madeline looks at them as she thinks about something else. "Yeah plus there was a shield that appeared to Baileywick. He used it while protecting Cedric as well. It even vanished away after Elizabeth was arrested". Madeline said to them.
James looks at them as he is stunned by this. "A shield, that is so cool though. However, I just can't imagine myself seeing Baileywick holding a shield like that though". James said to them as he can't picture it at all.
Sofia looks at James as she thinks about it further. "It was great in a huge way. It seems like when something bad happens, one of us gets a special item to fight back and then it vanishes away after the battle is over. It first happened with Maddie, then dad, Cedric, Hugo, and now Baileywick. It is like there was that critical moment in time that it all happened like that". Sofia said to them as she thought about it deeper.
Amber looks at Sofia as it does make sense.. Plus how is it going with you Maddie with the cleaning at Spencer's cottage". Amber said to them as she was wondering about that one.
Madeline frowns as she gives Amber a look as she does not want to talk about it. "It has been going very boring. Mom and dad even expect me to talk to Spencer about her life. It's just that we don't even see eye to eye right now". Madeline said to them as she does not like things right now.
Sofia looks at Madeline as she is thinking about things as she needs to talk to her in private. "James, Amber, can you two give me some alone time with Madeline for a few minutes". Sofia said to Amber and James as she knows a person that they did not see eye to eye with when they first met.
James and Amber look at each other as they are wondering what that is about. "Sure Sof", James said to Sofia as the two of them walked away to give the younger sisters some private talk.
Madeline looks at Sofia as she is wondering what she has in mind. "Sofia, what could you possibly tell me about Spencer? We are too different. She is a maid and I am a princess". Madeline said to Sofia as she did not realize that she was being like someone that they already met.
Sofia looks at Madeline as she is missing the point of things. She shakes her head as she needs to give her a reality check. "Madeline, who is one other person that did not see eye to eye with us at first that deeply misjudged and had some prejudice towards us at first especially when she first met the both of us"? Sofia asks Madeline as she knows who she is talking about.
Madeline looks at Sofia as she needs more to go on here. "What are you saying Sofia"? Madeline asks Sofia as she thinks that has not been done before.
Sofia gives an obvious look on her face to Madeline as she shakes her head to her. "Chrysta did not see eye to eye with us when we first met and first got started with the training to become protectors. She didn't really like how we do things. However, she learned the true meaning of having friends from us. Plus Spencer reminds me of Chrysta in a lot of ways as well. You picked up the misjudgment from Chrysta and used that on Spencer. That is not fair to her and you know it". Sofia said to Madeline as she has that in mind.
Madeline is stunned as she hears that one correctly as she likes she got hit with another dose of truth. "I never thought about it like that before. Plus I can see Chrysta and Spencer become friends though". Madeline said to Sofia as she is starting to realize that she has picked up someone's bad trait and used it on someone else. As Amber and James rejoin them in the conversations, Madeline has no idea what she is in for next as the end of the school day is getting closer and closer.
After school, Madeline is with her parents once again as they are in Spencer's neighborhood. Kimberly and Lady Agatha are with them as she is not pleased with the neighbors spreading rumors about Kimberly. Madeline is walking with them as they go door to door about things. Some of the neighbors are deeply shocked to learn that Kimberly is not a terrible boss at all. "I honestly did not know that the grand queen is Spencer's boss". A neighbor commented about it as they are truly guilty about assuming the worst about things.
Another neighbor is completely shocked to learn about Lady Agatha being her actual mother. "Oh dear, I had no idea that you are actually Spencer's mother. It made me wonder why Spencer never got any visitors to her cottage". Another neighbor said to them as she is disappointed with how things turned out for Spencer.
Madeline is stunned as she learns that Lady Agatha is actually Spencer's mom as she sees the resemblances between Spencer and the older woman that was not there in Elizabeth at all. 'I can see Spencer in her as well. If that is her mom, then who is Spencer's dad'. Madeline thought to herself as she was wondering about it. However, she is not going to push it on them.
At one of the other neighbors, the arrogant woman looks at them as she frowns as she is being questioned about gossiping about the terrible boss. "Yeah I spread rumors about the terrible boss. I mean what kind of a terrible boss that demands Spencer to stay until so late at night. Plus what kind of person makes Spencer get up just before sun up to get to work. I tried to get Spencer to work elsewhere in the last six months, but she would not hear of it. Spencer told me that she has a sense of duty to her boss and would never abandon her for anything". The arrogant neighbor said to them as she admits about spreading the gossip and rumors about her.
Kimberly frowns as she is this neighbor that has been spreading rumors about her. "I am that boss, thank you very much, and let me tell you something about Spencer. She has never and will never tell anyone who she works for because she refused to let them use her connections to get to the royal family to take advantage of them". Kimberly said to the arrogant neighbor as she is letting her in a little secret.
The arrogant neighbor gives them a look as Madeline can see that she is a mean person. "Yeah right, who do you think you are coming to my house like this telling me all of that". The arrogant neighbor said to them as she thinks that she can say things about it.
Madeline frowns as she glares at the woman as she does not like her at all. "She happens to be the grand queen of Enchancia thank you very much". Madeline said to the arrogant woman as she realizes that she is the main person spreading around the gossip.
The arrogant woman frowns as she glares at Madeline as she is aware about her as well as the brawl that took place at Spencer's cottage. "You have some nerve to tell me that lie you little brat. Plus I am glad that the silent neighbor got taught a lesson by a friend of mine and this is from me to give to her". The arrogant woman said to Madeline as she was about to punch her.
Lady Agatha frowns as she grabs the arrogant neighbor's wrist as she steps in as she glares at the arrogant woman. "First of all, that friend is in jail. Second of all, that silent neighbor is truly my daughter, and third of all, you are not even worth slapping back". Lady Agatha said to the arrogant neighbor as the constable arrived as he was arresting the arrogant woman.
The arrogant woman is stunned as she is being carried away in cuffs as Roland and Miranda sigh in relief as the person responsible for the rumor mill has been caught. "Well, it looks like another friend of Elizabeth's has been found". Roland said to them as they realized that there was a friend of Elizabeth's hidden among the neighbors.
Madeline nods as she looks at them as she learns that some of the neighbors truly didn't know the deeper truth. "Yeah, they just took the word of the arrogant neighbor about grandma and didn't even bother to check to see if it was true or not ''. Madeline said to them as she has learned something today. 'No wonder Spencer never told anyone that she works for grandma. She wanted to protect her and us from getting taken advantage of. Madeline thought to herself as she is getting the feeling that she got things wrong.
Miranda looks at them as they will get started with the cottage soon enough. "We better head back to the castle and get ready for dinner. We will be having guests for dinner, and Baileywick is going to be a guest'. Miranda said to Madeline as she explained to her about it. Madeline nods as the four of them are heading back to the castle to get ready for dinner.
That evening, Baileywick is in his room as he is getting ready for dinner as he is deeply nervous about telling things to the kids. Nigel is already here and checking up on him. "Hey Wicky, I take it that you are nervous about telling the young royals about being a dad". Nigel said to Baileywick as he has a lot of nervousness about meeting his daughter for the first time tonight.
Baileywick looks at Nigel as he nods as he has some nervousness about it. "Yeah, I am a bit nervous about how they would react, especially to Madeline. My biggest concern is what if the kids think that I am leaving you here to replace me. I mean the kids only met you one time. Are you nervous about meeting Dottie for the first time"? Baileywick asks Nigel as he is wondering about him.
Nigel looks at Baileywick as he nods as he has his own feelings and nervousness about it. "Yes I am. I am actually angry at Laura. She was not allowed to tell me by her father to tell me about Dottie. She is not the woman that I once fell in love with". Nigel said to Baileywick as he was angry about it.
Baileywick looks at Nigel as he can understand where he is angry about things. "Despite the circumstances, we are both fathers kind of late in the games. I am not as angry at Jasiri, but I am angrier at myself for not knowing about her much sooner". Baileywick said to Nigel as he had his own anger about it.
Nigel looks at Baileywick as he can understand his anger. "We will find out more about their lives and their childhood stories at dinner. Come on", Nigel said to Baileywick as he wanted him to get up and head towards dinner. Baileywick looks at Nigel as he agrees as they go down to the living room.
In the living room, Dottie and Nancy are sitting on the couch as they see Baileywick and Nigel coming towards them. Dottie looks at the man as she has heard about him. She stands up as she has tears in her eyes. "You must be Nigel. My name is Dorothy, but most people call me Dottie". Dottie said to Nigel as she is not ready to call him dad just yet.
Nigel looks at Dottie as she shares some resemblances to himself and Laura. "Yes Dottie, I am your father dear. The face is all me but your eyes, you have your mother's eyes". Nigel said to Dottie as he knows that she is his daughter.
Dottie looks at Nigel as she has a feeling it is him as she is deeply happy to see and meet him for the first time. "I always knew this day would come. Mom told me that she will tell me about you when I turn 18. However the joke is on her because I found out on my own when I was 16 years old". Dottie said to Nigel as she smiled at him for the first time.
Nigel is stunned as he does not realize that he did not find her or see her much sooner. "Dottie, where have you been though? Why didn't you find me sooner Dottie"? Nigel asks Dottie as he is wondering about it.
Dottie looks at Nigel. "Well, I grew up in the kingdom of Amora. When I was 16, I had a lot more than a hard home life to deal with. Plus school life was harder as well. I left home at 16. I got a ferry ticket from my best friend and cousin. I basically got taken in by Gladys and Kathy and worked for the past few years. I didn't realize that Nancy is my cousin until fairly recently. Plus I didn't know that you were here in Enchancia and didn't even know it". Dottie said to Nigel as she revealed that part of the truth.
Nigel looks at Dottie as he is stunned that he didn't know that she was in the kingdom of Amora until she was 16 years old. Plus he didn't realize that she was in Enchancia for 5 years and didn't even know it. "Dottie, I want to meet Gladys and Kathy in the summer time. There is no, if, or buts about it . I know you are grown but you are still my little girl". Nigel said to Dottie as he wants to meet them. Dottie agrees with it as she knows that he will want to meet them
The four of them went to the dining room as they were sitting down to eat. The kids are stunned as they see them sitting together. Roland looks at them as he can see the family resemblance between them. The food gets delivered first as they start to eat. Baileywick looks at them. "As some of you may be aware, I have something to tell you. Nancy is actually my daughter from a relationship that I had many years ago". Baileywick said to them as he went first to tell them.
Nigel nodded in agreement as he went next as well. "Dottie is actually my only daughter from a relationship that I had many years ago as well". Nigel said to them as they reveal that their little family has grown about it.
The kids are stunned as they realize that Baileywick and Nigel have a long lost daughter and are already being reunited with them. 'Baileywick and Nigel are the two fathers that reunite with their daughters'. Madeline thought to herself as she was thinking about the prophecy message that she read in her special book. James looks at them as he is stunned by this news. "That is so cool that you found each other again". James said to them as the kids agreed with him.
Sofia looks at them as she thinks about it as this will be great. "This means that you can come with us on our dads and daughters day trip. It is so much fun". Sofia said to them as she was thinking ahead about it.
Madeline agrees as she is already picturing it. "Yes, we take the trip a week before Father's Day while James stays and gets things ready with mom as she is dictating on how it will go.
James frowns as he looks at Madeline as he does not agree with this at all. "No, there should be a trip with just dad and me". James said to them as he always feels left out of it.
Madeline looks at James as she sighs as she wants him to see things her way. "I know it seems old. There should be a son and dad day. However, some fathers don't have sons to share the day with James". Madeline said to James as she explained to him.
James looks at Madeline as he shakes his head to her. "Well, how about moms who do not have a son or daughter to share the day with. It is the same way as well. Yet when parents do have kids, it is the one kid that gets left out because that day is specifically built for the other kid". James said to Madeline back to her as he is wondering about moms who do not have kids.
Roland looks at the kids as this is no time for a sibling spat at the dinner table. "Now, now, kids, there is no right or wrong way to look at things". Roland said to them as he wants things to settle down between Madeline and James.
Madeline looks at Roland as she is dismayed about his point. "But Dad, think about it please, Father's Day is meant for sons, and Mother's Day is meant for daughters. The last trip we did was daughter and dad day not sons". Madeline said to Roland as she wants those days to continue.
Roland looks at Madeline as he shakes his head to her as it is not what those two holidays are truly about. "That is not fully correct Madeline. Mother's day is honoring motherhood and Father's Day is about fatherhood. As far as the dad's and daughter's day trips, I think there needs to be some changes to it so each child can spend the day with the parents. Plus it is possible that Mother's Day or Father's Day can be difficult on those who do not have children either or those who have lost a parent as well". Roland said to them as he wants to get the kids, especially Madeline, to fully understand it.
Sofia looks at Roland as she never thought about it like that. "Dad, I think what Madeline was trying to say on Dad and Daughter's Day is fun but what about the sons in a man's life. Shouldn't a son be doing fatherly stuff with their dad"? Sofia asks Roland as she is wondering what kind of changes that Roland is proposing to do.
Madeline said thank Sofia for the Help"
Roland looks at Sofia as he nods to him. "Well yes they should do things with their dad, Sofia. However, I do believe it is time to hear from Nancy and Dottie about their lives though. Nancy, I can not imagine what the various holidays were like for you growing up, am I right"? Roland asks Nancy as he turns the conversation to Nancy and Dottie.
Nancy looks at Roland as she nods to him as she goes first. "Yes, it was King Roland. The truth is that I spent the first 18 years of my life in an orphanage in the kingdom of Branzelle. Mother's Day, Father's Day, Wassilia, it was hard on me and the other kids in the orphanage especially if they are not adopted yet". Nancy said to them as she does recall those holidays when she was a kid.
Amber is stunned as she looks at Nancy as she is wondering about it. "You mean you never got adopted by a loving family with a set of parents' '? Amber asks Nancy as she is wondering how they can be so cruel to overlook her for a very long time.
Nancy looks at Amber as she shakes her head to her. "No, when I was little, my earliest memories were potential adopters visiting the orphanage. They always pick some other child there. Even when I was on my best behavior on that day, they just picked a different kid to take home. I remember getting passed over time and time again through no faults of my own. The staff always felt bad for me because I was a great kid even when I was a teenager. A harsh and cruel reality is that most people rather pick a younger child than an older child especially a teenager". Nancy said to them as she gave them a huge eye opener about it.
Kimberly looks at Nancy as she feels deeply bad for her as she is thinking deeply about Spencer and the cruel life she had growing up. "That is deeply harsh Nancy". Kimberly said to Nancy as she was wondering why no one adopted her at all.
Nancy looks at them as she wipes her tears with a napkin as Baileywick comforts her. "Yes it was. At 18, I left the orphanage because I became an adult with not a lot of things to my name and good education. I went to Enchancia to start my adult life. I eventually got a job at Royal Prep in the filing office. It has been history ever since". Nancy said to them as she revealed her life after she left the orphanage.
Dottie looks at Nancy as she can relate and understand about having a harsh childhood. "I can understand and relate to having a harsh life". Dottie said to Nancy as she went next about her childhood life.
Madeline is stunned as she looks at Dottie as she does not realize that the other woman can relate to that. "You can Ms. Dottie"? Madeline asks Dottie as she is wondering how she can understand or relate to things.
Dottie nods as she looks at Madeline and the kids. "Yes I can Princess Madeline. "Unlike Nancy, I grew up in a home in the kingdom of Amora. However the main harsh things that I went through were at the hands of my stepfather, my younger half-sister and my extended family especially on my mother's side of the family". Dottie said to them as she revealed who was dishing out the harshness to her.
Madeline looks at Dottie as she has never heard of the concept of a half sister before. "A half- sister, what does that have to do with things"? Madeline said to Dottie as she was wondering about it. .
Other times a person may have the same father with another person, but this other person has a different mother from that person. They are just as real as full blooded siblings and step siblings``. Dottie said to Madeline as she explained it more to her and the other kids.
Madeline and the kids look at each other as they do understand that now. "I understand now Ms. Dottie. What was it like for you growing up then if you were not in an orphanage all your life"? Madeline asks Dottie as they want to know.
Dottie nods as she looks at them as this is going to be tough to explain. "As I said before, I was born and raised in the kingdom of Amora up until I was 16 years old. When I was growing up, my stepfather didn't care about me at all like he didn't like that I even existed or having a different father from his own children, my younger half siblings. He often ignored me. When he spoke to me, his words were harsh towards me. When my younger half siblings were born, he gave his love and attention towards them. He told me that I didn't deserve any kind of attention because I am not his biological child. When I was around 5 years old, I was declared the family's disappointment because I didn't have any sorcery talent or ability for that matter. Some magical families often like it when they marry someone from a magical family as well. They pretty much did not like the fact that I had no magical or sorcery ability in me. I never knew why I didn't have any magical or sorcery talent at all until very recently. My stepfather and grandfather, my mom's dad made it perfectly clear that I am the family disappointment in front of everyone including extended relatives. Most of my extended relatives kept me at a distance but they rarely gave me some support. My mother, she did care about me, but she only paid attention or spent time with me unless my stepfather and my younger half siblings were not around. The only people who were on my side the most were my grandmother, my aunt Penny, and cousin Brock. I pretty much lived at school at Magma Institute and avoided going home. My mother said it was better for me to stay there over the summer and only came home for Wassila''. Dottie said to them as she revealed the extent of things.
Miranda looks at Dottie as she is wondering about it. "So you were neglected by your mother most of your life". Miranda said to Dottie as she is planning to have some words with her soon. Dottie nods as she looks at Miranda.
Amber looks at Dottie as she is getting angry and shocked by it. "That is just overly harsh of your stepfather and half sibling". Amber said to Dottie as she is wondering how a stepfather would be that harsh to her.
Dottie looks at Amber as she nods as she has a lot more to tell them. "Yes but my younger half-sister Ursula made my life at the Magma Institute even harder. She made fun of me at school too. She pulled cruel pranks on me. The headmaster did punish and discipline her at school. However my mom did punish her, but my step father let it slide and dismiss the punishment mom had for her. When I was 16, my grandmother passed away. However, a week before she died, she told me about my real dad and gave me a picture of him. I even found a letter that had his name on it. At school, my grades were so high that I got all of the courses needed to graduate early. My best friend Princess Athena of Amora and cousin Brock were with me when I got my diploma. I was planning to come home early from school to surprise my mom. Ursula ruined the day with another prank. Brock got on to her big time for things. My best friend Princess Athena pretty much helped me get out of school and my home kingdom. Brock and Athena got me to the dock in the Kingdom of Amora and gave me a ferry ticket to Enchancia. Princess Athena picked the kingdom because I needed to have an enchanted life. I have not seen my family, especially my mother , ever since". Dottie said to them as she explained about her hard school life at the hands of her half sister.
James is stunned as he realizes that she had a couple of good friends that got her out of there. "Those were good friends. How did you meet Miss Gladys and Miss Kathy though"? James asks Dottie as they are wondering about it.
Dottie nods as she looks at James. "Yeah in the last five years, I have learned that friends are like family members. When I first got to Enchancia, I didn't have a lot of things. There was a terrible storm. I was pretty much exhausted from the trip over from Amora. And the rain and howling wind did not help with matters. I pretty much collapsed from exhaustion. When I came to, I was inside of a house and I met Kathy and Gladys. Gladys found me outside and got me inside. They took me in and helped me until I got on my feet. It was because of them that they got a job at Royal Prep as a lunch lady and it is history ever since. Meeting Nancy and my newly found uncle and dad, I have learned that life is full of surprises. Overcoming hardships and adversity, it has made me into a much stronger person and having that perseverance to keep going in life even though there are people willing to try to break you in whichever way possible". Dottie said to them as she explained further about it.
The kids are stunned as they realize that Dottie has become a fighter through all of it. Sofia looks at them. "You people like Renee and Elizabeth, they are the kind of people that would break people in any other way possible". Sofia said to them as she was wondering about it.
Dottie looks at Sofia as she nods to her as it is a scary reality to the adults. "That is correct Princess Sofia. They are the kind of people that want to break you by any means necessary whether magically or non-magically. Whether it is for pain or pleasure, they plan on doing things like that whether they have children themselves or not". Dottie said to Sofia as the adults looked at each other as they realized that the adults needed to talk.
As the dinner is over, the kids are watching Dottie and Nancy saying goodbye to Baileywick and Nigel. The adults are having grown up talking while the kids are in the playroom. Madeline looks at them as she has a lot to think about. "Listening to Nancy's and Dottie's life stories to where they are now, it makes me wonder about Spencer though". Madeline said to them as she is getting the feeling that she went through something much worse than her.
James looks at them as it is a scary possibility as well. "Yeah it does. It also makes me wonder how they, especially Dr. Elizabeth, could have gotten away with it for so long". James said to them as he and Amber have that look to have a twin talk soon.
Amber looks at them as if it is a scary thought. "I cannot imagine what it was like for her especially being raised by the ex-castle doctor Elizabeth though. I mean she must have been through a lot worse than Dottie and Nancy". Amber said to them that the dark places that Spencer must have been in must be terrible.
Sofia nods as she looks at Amber as she is thinking about half siblings. "What gets me is that Dottie has half siblings. I never realized that half siblings are just as real as full blooded siblings or step siblings". Sofia said to them as they are wondering if an example out there is.
Madeline looks at Sofia as she agrees with her about it. "I agree with Sofia. I want to see a full example about it rather than someone talking about it. Now for a change of subject, was it just me or was Grand mum being too quiet at dinner"? Madeline asks them as she is wondering why she was being quiet.
Amber looks at Madeline as it is strange that Kimberly was not saying anything much to them. "How so Maddie"? Amber asks Madeline as the subject is on Kimberly now.
Madeline looks at Amber with an obvious expression on her face. "Well, when Dottie and Nancy were telling us their life stories and circumstances, grand mum was deeply quiet and solemn like their stories got to her. It was like she was trying to hold back tears. Plus when Renee and Elizabeth mentioned as people trying to break them, it got to her in a way like she knows something". Madeline said to them she is wondering what she knows.
Amber looks at Madeline as she thinks about it as James agrees too. "That is true, tonight it all served as a wake up call that not every mother or father is a good person". Amber said to them as it is a harsh reality to them.
Sofia looks at Amber as she is wondering about it. "Grandamum, she and Spencer are close. She must have known a lot about Spencer's life because she is the only one that Spencer trusts. It makes me wonder if a lot of things happened to Spencer that led her not to trust other people, even dad and Baileywick". Sofia said to them as they realized that things will be a huge eye opener about Spencer very soon.
Amber looks at them as they need to find out about it. "We have to find out about things from Spencer herself". Amber said to them as she is wondering why Kimberly is the only one that Spencer trusts. The kids nod in agreement as they plan to do just that. As they went to bed for the night, they were truly grateful to have a great mom like Miranda in their lives.
The next morning while the kids are at school, Enrique is at the castle as he is meeting with Miranda and Roland as they are looking at the various files that were found in the messed up filing cabinet. "Dad, Nancy reorganized the files that were in that filing cabinet that we found in Renee's secret workshop. Some of these files contain birth certificates, death certificates, a notice from the kingdom of Norberg, arranged marriage documents for all of the kids in the family, and various letters to other people all over the Ever Realm". Miranda said to Enrique as she explained to him as they needed to look through them together.
Enrique looks at Miranda as he is stunned that it contained those things. "I need to see them, especially the certificates, to see if they are real and authentic". Enrique said to them as he needs to get started on things. He sits down as he looks at the certificates and uses some spells to check for authenticity. He frowns as he looks at the death certificate on Miranda and it is a complete fake. He looks through the various letters as he finds what he is looking for. He is furious as he checks out the letter and notice from Queen Abigail and realizes what happened years ago. "THAT WITCH, THAT HORRIBLE HORRIBLE WITCH", Enrique said to them as he realizes that she must have done something even deeper than that lie.
Roland looks at Enrique as he sees the fiery anger in his father in law as Roland the first and Kimberly are in the room. "Enrique, what is going on"? Roland asks Enrique as he is getting the feeling that he has uncovered the true reason why she created the lie in the first place.
Enrique looks at them as he puts the notice and Miranda's fake death certificate together. "When Renee told me and my family that Miranda is dead, we took it very hard. However, this notice from Queen Abigail of Norberg had a mandatory reunification notice of children who were adopted from the special group home. According to a letter to Queen Abigail, it states Miranda's family expresses not to take in her child as it is a painful reminder of what happened to her a few years ago. We have the death certificate proving that Miranda has passed away in an accident". Enrique said to them as he was furious about it.
Everyone is stunned as they look at the letters as they realize that Renee must have done all of that. "That witch, lying to my family is one thing, but to make sure that the child was not brought back to you nor me is going too far". Miranda said to them as she realizes that Renee planned all of that to happen.
Roland looks at Enrique as they have a lot of evidence to prove that Renee is a criminal. "Enrique, what can we do to get Renee arrested? I know that this will break Olivia's heart, but she needs to know that Renee is not a good mother by any means". Roland asks Enrique as he is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Roland as Roland the first and Kimberly are wondering the same thing. "First thing is to get all of this evidence turned over to the true investigator on Renee. Secondly, the investigator has to gain special approval from various royals from 4 different kingdoms to do so. I am not going to lie to you, King Roland. I am not the main investigator on Renee''. Enrique said to them as he revealed the truth to them about it.
Roland is stunned as he learns about that revelation as Miranda frowns as she does not like it. "Why not though? I mean Renee has done all sorts of illegal things". Roland asks Enrique as he is wondering about the reason.
Enrique gives a look to Roland as he needs to explain it. "It is a strict regulation to an investigator. An investigator can not investigate a magical being or non magical being who are related through blood, marriage, or adoption because it is viewed as biased and unethical. Those who are caught investigating that individual can have the investigation tossed out and all evidence being found instantly destroyed". Enrique said to them as he revealed that information to them.
Everyone is stunned as they learn about this as all of this evidence needs to be turned over to the right investigator. "We don't even know who the right investigator is. Can you be read into the investigation or something"? Miranda asks Enrique as the in-laws are wondering the same thing.
Enrique looks at Miranda as he nods to her as he has something for Baileywick. "I have to get special permission to get that from Atticus and the main person investigating Renee, Miranda. Speaking of Atticus, he wants to see him and his brother in his office at the Grand Magical Council". Enrique said to them as he revealed it.
Baileywick walks into the room as everyone looks at him as he is wondering about it. "Umm, what is going on? Did I forget to do something"? Baileywick asks them as he is wondering what it could be. Roland shakes his head to Baileywick as it is not it at all. Baileywick sighs in relief from that news.
Enrique looks at Baileywick as he has some news about things that he looked into. "When you told me about your great great great grandfather and the spell that he cast himself, he cast it the day before he died, and the Grand Magical Council never found out about it. He took his secret to his grave". Enrique said to Baileywick as he explained it.
Baileywick looks at Enrique as this is a huge revelation and a shock to him. "What, I have always wondered why I have never gotten into sorcery as a kid like Princess Sofia and Princess Madeline are. However, I have been wondering how I could use a magical shield that appeared to me the other night while protecting Cedric". Baileywick said to Enrique as he was wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Baileywick as this is something that Atticus will need to explain to him and his brother. "Atticus will explain it to both you and Nigel. What he will tell you two will also affect Dottie and Nancy as well". Enrique said to Baileywick as it affects his daughter and niece as well. Baileywick looks at Enrique as he understands as he has a lot more to think about.
Two days later, the castle is in full swing to get prepared for the wedding. Plus Tilly and Bartleby already selected the cake much to Madeline's dismay and reassured her that it doesn't have any cherries. In the castle infirmary, Spencer sighs as she has been laying in bed as she has been well rested. She has gotten a few visitors mostly Claire, Lady Agatha, and Kimberly. The kids are home from school as they want to see and visit with her. Dr. Smith and Dr. Kim looks at the group of people including Claire, Lady Agatha, her three adult children, Baileywick, Cedric, and Enrique.
Lady Agatha looks at Dr. Smith as she wants to know things as she has her three grown children with her. "How was Spencer today"? Lady Agatha asks Dr. Smith as she asks him some questions.
Dr. Smith looks at the group as he is stunned by the size of them. "Good but she has been restless. Monday, she tried to leave the infirmary to check things on her cottage at 4:00 am in the morning. I did stop her. It's just that she has been deeply stubborn ever since". Dr. Smith said to them.
Miranda looks at Dr. Smith as she sighs as it reminds her of one of her children. "It seems that Spencer is a lot like Madeline in trying to leave on her own". Miranda said to Dr. Smith as she glanced at Madeline as she smiled at her.
Dr. Kim looks at them as she also has some news for them. "I have talked to the other kitchen staff in the infirmary and orderlies as well about Elizabeth and asked them if she forced them into changing food orders on various patients in the last 15 years. They told me that Elizabeth forced them to change her specifications even when the patient is not one of hers, and they were also forced to keep their mouth's shut about it otherwise she will fire them without King Roland's acknowledgement. Dr. Kim said to them as she revealed that one.
Roland frowns as he needs to make massive changes in the castle infirmary. "If they were fired, it would have shown up in their employee file". Roland said to Dr. Kim as he is getting the feeling that things need to be looked through.
The two doctors nod as they lead them to Spencer's room. The group went into one of the very nicest rooms in the infirmary. Spencer is in bed as she looks at the crowd of people. "I must be popular today". Spencer said to them as she notices the group of them as she is wondering who the people standing next to Lady Agatha are.
Lady Agatha looks at Spencer as she smiles at her. "Yes you are dear". Lady Agatha said to Spencer as she looked at her three grown children as she wanted to introduce her to them. "Spencer, there are three people I want you to meet. This is Lucy, Yvette, and Levi. They are your older brother and sisters". Lady Agatha said to Spencer as she introduced them to her.
Levi looks at Spencer as he smiles at her as this is a great time that has been a long time coming. "I am Levi. Mom has told us all about you. We all thought about you and joined her search to find you. I am a traveling artist". Levi said to Spencer as he looked at them as he brought a painting of Spencer to show her. He turns to the other people. Every year I head towards a different kingdom to hope to find her showing them a picture of her and what she could have looked like". Levi said to the group as they see how the painting looks a lot like Spencer.
Yvette nods as she looks at Spencer. "My name is Yvette. I am a teacher. I traveled kingdom to kingdom in hopes to find you and rescue you when you were a kid. However, when you were over 18, I had no other choice but to move to higher educational schools. However, I realized that you are not likely to be there, so I changed schools to work for schools for royalty, and that is how I ended up at Royal Prep". Yvette said to Spencer as she explained about her working life.
Lucy nods as she looks at Spencer as she does want to help her in some ways. "My name is Lucy. I am also a doctor. Like Yvette and Levi, I also travel around in hopes to find you as well". Lucy said to Spencer as she wants to know what kind of trauma that she has been through.
Spencer looks at her siblings as she is stunned and surprised as she didn't realize that she has siblings. "Wow, I always wanted a sibling growing up. Does that make me the baby of the family"? Spencer asks them as she is wondering about the birth order.
Lucy looks at Spencer as she nods as she smiles at her. "Yes it does baby sister. Don't worry, all of us are harmless". Lucy said to Spencer as the others nod to her.
Levi nods as he looks at Spencer. "We have another older brother named Tristan. However he passed away 25 years ago in Wimonia. It was the same kingdom that you were born in. For years after you vanished by that woman, myself, Yvette, and Lucy promised ourselves that we will never forget about you. In some ways, Tristan was looking for you while watching you as well. I am the second eldest child in the family. Although can we do something about your first name though"? Levi asks them as he is wondering about it.
Spencer looks at Levi as she knows about it as she remembers what Lady Agatha told her. "Mom is going to tell me my real name when the time is right". Spencer said to them as Lady Agatha agrees with them.
Levi looks at Spencer and Lady Agatha as he understands about it. "Fair enough mom", Levi said to Lady Agatha as he was wondering when the time was right.
Yvette smiles as she notices a familiar resemblance in Spencer to someone they all met years ago. "She looks a lot like Patrick doesn't mom". Yvette said to Lady Agatha as she remembered their potential stepfather.
Lady Agatha looks at Yvette as she has not told Spencer about him. "Yes she does Yvette. I can imagine his strength being in her as well". Lady Agatha said to Yvette as she remembers how Patrick fought like a warrior for his kingdom.
Spencer looks at them as she hears the name Patrick as the name vaguely rings bells to her. "Who is Patrick"? Spencer asks them as she is wondering about him.
Lucy looks at Spencer as she lightly smiles at her. "He is your real and first father. He would have been our stepfather. We are deeply thankful that you didn't have our first and biological father as a dad in any shape of form". Lucy said to Spencer as she and the others agree that she is not Luis's father.
Spencer looks at them as she is wondering what happened between Lady Agatha and Patrick. "Why what happened between them"? Spencer asks them as she wants to know what happened to Patrick.
Lucy looks at Spencer as she has to be honest with her. "Mom and Patrick broke up not after you vanished. The disappearance caused their relationship to fizzle out between them. They were deeply close but sometimes a death or a disappearance of a child can cause relationships to end. I remember the last thing Patrick told mom and us that he will continue to search for you and update mom with leads. However about three years after you vanished, Patrick also mysteriously vanished as well. Tristan, Levi, and Lucy's first and biological father was a horrible man. When he was arrested, the king made things easier for mom and us to start over in life". Lucy said to Spencer as explains it to her.
Sofia looks at them as she realizes that they are an example of half siblings. "So this means, Spencer, Dr. Lucy, Miss Yvette, and Mr. Levi are half siblings". Sofia said to them as she and the kids learned about it.
Yvette looks at Sofia as she nods as she has learned about them. "That's correct Princess Sofia, mom explained it to us when she was pregnant with Spencer. She will be treated like a full blooded sibling regardless of what others think. We planned to treat her as such". Yvette said to them as they will accept her and love her like a full blooded sibling.
Levi looks at them as he wants to tell Spencer something special. "Ever since that first father went away, we have always had a tradition to reestablish the Wolfe Pack. Of course, our family took a devastating blow when we lost Tristan. Now that we found you, we can reestablish it again". Levi said to Spencer as he knows that they have to do it with her.
Spencer looks at Levi as she smirks to her. "I think I will love that. I think we should reestablish it after I confront Elizabeth". Spencer said to them as she has that to look forward to as well as learning about her real name. .
Levi looks at Spencer as he grins from ear to ear. "Oh yes, we should do that. Plus you can ask us a question if you want to". Levi said to Spencer as Lucy and Yvette nod in agreement.
Spencer looks at them as she is curious about something. "I have a question. How did you know that Elizabeth was here in Enchancia"? Spencer asks them as she is wondering how they learned about it.
Lucy looks at Spencer as everyone is curious about it. "It all started when I first got to Enchancia to take over the doctor's office that Dr. Carole left. Queen Miranda came to me almost immediately and asked me to treat Madeline for a case of food poisoning. However, the moment that I saw Elizabeth, she looked deeply familiar. I asked around the other doctors about her and realized that she is the same woman. I sent word to the others. Levi here was furious that she has been in Enchancia this whole time". Lucy said to them as she pointed out that Levi was really mad.
Levi nods as he looks at them as he remembers about something that happened. "Yeah the thing is that the last time I was in Enchancia was 10 years ago. I asked around about you. One morning, I went to my traveling carriage to find it completely vandalized. Plus all of the paintings that I had of you including a painting of mom holding you as a new born baby was gone. I did find a note saying that the girl is not here in Enchancia and will never come back. I filed a report with the constable, but there were not any suspects". Levi said to them as he is deeply disappointed about it.
Madeline looks at Levi as it is very puzzling and strange in mysterious circumstances. Spencer looks at Levi as she thinks back on things. "Ten years ago, I was around 13 years old at that time". Spencer said to Levi as she was wondering about it.
Madeline looks at them as it is kind of odd for the painting to disappear. "That is really odd. I bet that Elizabeth had something to do with it". Madeline said to them as she made a small bet about it.
Spencer frowns as she looks at them as she is wondering about it. "I won't put it past Elizabeth. She must not like that you were in Enchancia and asking around about me". Spencer said to them as she is reflecting about it.
Everyone looks at each other as they are getting the same feeling. Baileywick looks at Spencer as he wants to come clean to her. "You must understand what I did. I work for the royal family like you do. When it concerns one of them including the grand queen Kimberly, it concerns me as well". Baileywick said to Spencer as he made it his business to know.
The adult siblings look at Baileywick as this is a surprise to them. "Spencer works for the grand queen". They said to them as they have no idea what she does for a living. Kimberly nods as she looks at them as she gets to meet them.
Spencer looks at them as she sighs to them as she sees Baileywick in the room. "Well yes", Spencer said to them as she glared at Baileywick. "You have no right to interfere with my life, including my personal life. When you asked if you could help me, I said no. I was hoping that you would continue on to your destination. No, you didn't even do that and asked again like you wanted something from me. I was deeply firm in my decision on things. You didn't even respect me or what I wanted. You essentially went behind my back and brought work crews that included Hannah who is deeply nosy and constantly asked me about where I lived and other things. She followed me around like a lost puppy, especially working at Kimberly's house. She even tried to lift my sleeve to see what was on my wrist one day. Melanie was the only one that got Hannah to back off about the sleeve thing. Hannah did mostly half the job while she was there at Ms. Kimberly's house. I had to go back to places that Hannah didn't even finish doing." Spencer said to Baileywick as she let her anger out on him.
Everyone is stunned as they see that Spencer is really mad like she is letting it all out. Baileywick looks at Spencer as he learns that Hannah was not properly doing her job at Ms. Kimberly's house. "I am deeply sorry about Hannah, Spencer. Plus I will talk to Melanie about it as well. But you were taking on too much at Ms. Kimberly's house, especially alone. Plus you don't even trust other people besides Ms. Kimberly". Baileywick said to Spencer as he wants her to see sense on his end.
Spencer frowns as she glares at Baileywick as she shakes her head to him. "That is because Ms. Kimberly has deeply earned Baileywick. Trust has to be earned not given to you like a birthday present". Spencer said to Baileywick as she was still angry.
Lady Agatha looks at Baileywick as there needs to be a change of subject on things. Sofia looks at Spencer as she is wondering about something. "Spencer, how did you and Grandma first meet"? Sofia asks Spencer as everyone is curious about it.
Spencer looks at them as she nods to them. "Well, it was all after I turned 18 years old, and Elizabeth kicked me out. It was a cold January day. I knew that I wouldn't last long without a job and money. Plus the last thing I ever do is be submissive to Elizabeth's demands by going to medical school like she wanted. I basically walked all over Enchancia to see if they were hiring. Of course I didn't get a lot of bites on it. I was sitting on the side of the road and it was getting colder plus snow was starting to fall. That's when Ms. Kimberly found me. She insisted that I go to her house to eat and rest. After we talked, she offered me a job as a maid and started working there ever since". Spencer said to them as she explained to them how they first met.
Madeline looks at Spencer as she is in awe of that story. "That is so cool". Madeline said to Spencer as she is curious about things.
Spencer nods as she looks at them as there is more to the story. "Yeah for the first seven months after I got kicked out from my childhood home, I actually lived in a hollowed out tree". Spencer said to them as she revealed it.
Everyone is stunned as they learn about that one. "A hollowed out tree, you must have been in survival mode for those months' '. Sofia said to Spencer as she is reminded of Chrysta in some ways as she realizes that she is a tough young woman.
Madeline looks at Spencer as she is a tougher person than she looks. "Yeah, I can not imagine living in a tree for seven months". Madeline said to Spencer as she realized that people take things that they have in life for granted.
Lady Agatha looks at Spencer as she smirks to them as she can see it in her. "She is definitely a Wolfe and my daughter alright. Surviving in the outdoors and making the best of what you have, it is something that I went through myself. When I was a kid, my mom and my siblings had to survive in the mountains of Wimonia". Lady Agatha said to them as they learned about it.
The kids are stunned as they learn about it. Amber is stunned as it is something that it is a huge eye opener about especially to her. "Oh wow, that must have been rough to deal with". Amber said to Lady Agatha as she was wondering how to do that.
Lady Agatha looks at Amber as she nods as there is deeper to that. "My family didn't have much of a choice back then Princess Amber. When you are the ruler of a kingdom, your choices can have an effect on everyone in the kingdom. Plus making those bad choices, it can make the people suffer. When I was growing up in Wimonia, my family was suffering in Wimonia". Lady Agatha said to Amber as she explained to her about it.
Spencer nods as she looks at them as talk needs to get back to her. "My tree toppled over one night during a terrible storm. After that I lived at the manor house and saved all of my money to get that cottage on my own. For two years, my cottage was my safe haven especially away from Elizabeth. Before I got the cottage, Elizabeth always found me when I was out and about with Ms. Kimberly. She always berated me in front of Ms. Kimberly. However I was the one protecting Miss Kimberly from her. I refused to let her get to her like she did to me. It is one of the reasons why I didn't get home until 10 o'clock at night and left the house before sunrise so Elizabeth would not find me at my cottage". Spencer said to them as she gave a look to Baileywick as she wanted to make it clear to him that she had her safety nets in place.
Sofia looks at Spencer as she realizes that she could take care of herself and other things. "You mean you stood up to Elizabeth in those times. No wonder you had weird working hours. You didn't want Elizabeth to find your cottage all along". Sofia said to Spencer as she figured things out to pass along to the protectors.
Madeline looks at Spencer as she also realizes that she kept it that way for a reason. "Then what happened at your cottage though that Saturday night". Madeline asks Spencer as she is wondering what happened Saturday night that kept them out of things. .
Spencer looks at Madeline as everyone wants to know about things. "Hannah and I were in the village, one minute we were walking down an alleyway, the next thing I knew Elizabeth and that man Samuel showed up. That's when Hannah revealed that she was actually with Elizabeth the whole time. The next thing I knew we got teleported away and ended up in my cottage. That is when we had that brawl. I held them off as long as I could. Elizabeth said that she has a friend that made sure that things were done magically to keep the neighbors from hearing what is happening and gotten any kind of help from others. They pretty much made sure that I didn't have much of anything in my cottage. When they were about to leave, Elizabeth said something to me. They teleported themselves out of the house. I bandaged myself up the best that I could". Spencer said to them as she is getting the feeling about things that are about to be talked about.
Sofia is stunned as she looks at Spencer as she can hold people on her own fine. "You hold them off all by yourself. How did you learn how to fight"? Sofia asks Spencer as she does not realize that she knows how to fight and defend herself.
Spencer looks at Sofia as it is about to get into harder subjects. "I was around 13 years old. I knew that I had to learn to defend myself in case something happened to me. Plus I did not want anyone else to get hurt by Elizabeth's hands like I was. I learned from a teacher at my school. I picked up on it really quickly, especially when I was holding a sword in my hands. I was often spared against junior knights in secret. However when Elizabeth found out about learning to fight and the sword fighting just before my 18th birthday, she took out all of my fighting competition trophies and my sword and got rid of it. Elizabeth has put me through two great punishments in my life once at 13 and the second one happened before I turned 18 years old ". Spencer said to Sofia as she remembered about the two great punishments.
The kids gasp as they hear that one correctly as they are getting the feeling that Spencer has been through a terrible things. Lady Agatha and her grown siblings are stunned as they learn that Elizabeth has deeply harmed their youngest sibling.
Roland looks at Spencer as this getting into the tough and hard subject to talk about. "Kids, will you return to the main part of the castle please and give us some time alone". Roland said to them as he wants the young kids to head back to the main part of the castle.
James looks at Roland as the other kids slightly frown as they don't get to hear more about things on Spencer. "Sure dad", James said to Roland as he got the siblings to follow him out of the room.
The kids leave the room as this is getting to the deeper conversation. "Spencer, what was your childhood like with Eric and Elizabeth"? Lady Agatha asks Spencer as Dr. Lucy wants to get some notes done as she wants to help her.
Spencer looks at them as she starts talking about it. "I grew up in Enchancia. My dad Eric the man that raised me and I were deeply close. He showed me the ways of the sorcery wand. Elizabeth, she took part of the family life, but we were never super close at all. When I was 11 years old, Eric passed away in an accident. However, it was after that time, Elizabeth drastically changed like a normal parent to a very controlling parent border line abusive. She changed schools and strictly banned sorcery from my life. It is like she wanted me isolated from the things I love doing for her gain and control. By the time I was 12, I realized that I will not get a normal mother daughter relationship at all. She started to be abusive towards me when I turned 13. At first it was when I do the slightest thing doing wrong. She often hit me and locked me in the basement during the weekend. She often wake me up in the middle of the night and clean the entire house. When I was not going fast enough, she shoved me to the floor. I was not sure where to go to or anything like that. At school, I was forced to wear long sleeves dresses to cover up the bruises on my arms. I was pretty much forced to kept things to myself. However before Mother's Day weekend, I gotten a letter to go to Claire's house to learn about the truth about Eric. The note explicitly stated to not to tell Elizabeth about it. I decided that I was going to go and make my escape and head towards Claire's house. I was almost there when Elizabeth caught me. She told me that my first great punishment is about to start. She wasn't alone either". Spencer said to them as she reveals about it.
The adults in the room gasp as they learn that Spencer was trapped in an abusive household. Roland looks at Spencer as he is wondering about it. "What do you mean Elizabeth was not alone. Can you further explain"? Roland asks Spencer about it.
Spencer looks at them as she takes a deep breath as she gets ready to talk about it. "I was being dragged towards a carriage where the two male beings were. Elizabeth told me that I was being arrested. I have gotten really confused because I didn't break a law in the kingdom of Enchancia and told her that. She said that it was a kingdom of Enchancia law. She told me when I was going to Claire's house like the note said to do and not tell her, ``I have broken a society law". Spencer said to them as it is puzzling to her.
Roland looks at Spencer as he is kind of confused as he has never heard of that. "A society law, you did what the note told you to do. I would not have you arrested for that". Roland said to Spencer as he was wondering what kind person could come up with something like that.
Spencer nods as she looks at them as it gets much deeper than that. "The moment I was forced into the carriage, I got restrained by the two unknown male beings and Elizabeth got in with them and watched what was happening. I was laying on my stomach and I could not see what they were doing. They placed an object on my wrists and the back of my neck. I heard the male beings saying some sort of spell or incantation. The next thing I knew I felt my skin burning. Elizabeth told me if I continue to scream, it will be worse on me. The carriage carried us to a different location, but it looked like a cave somewhere. I was not sure if we were in a different kingdom. A short while later Elizabeth literally dragged me to this strange table. I saw a strange mirror in front of the table, and two male beings were there holding wands like they were ready for me. On the table, there were strange orbs on the table as well. I was deeply scared and wondered why Elizabeth did this to me let alone subject me to that kind of treatment. I got placed on the table and restrained it. The two male beings used a spell to activate the mirror. Plus the burning sensation happened again except this time, it was on my back and feet. The mirror was opening up into it, and I was being sent into it. The worse part of it was I saw Elizabeth paying the two male beings for doing it like she wanted it done to me. I was locked into that mirror for two weeks". Spencer said to them as she is upset and crying as it is one of the miserable events in her life.
The adults are stunned as they learn that Elizabeth paid two male beings to send Spencer into a mirror. Enrique frowns as he is getting the feeling that he knows which mirror that Spencer is talking about. "Oh sweet heart, you did not deserve that at all". Lady Agatha as the other adults feel deeply sick about it.
Spencer nods as she looks at them as it went deeper than that. "After I was released from the mirror, the two beings and Elizabeth were there. They dragged me out of the cave and went into the same carriage from before and took me to a different location. I was restrained again and let Elizabeth have it for deeply betrayed me for paying them to do that. Elizabeth told me that I brought it on myself for breaking a society law. The ride there took a bit longer to get to the next destination. By the time we got there, Elizabeth dragged me out of the carriage and paid the two male being again for their services to get me out of the mirror and left. I was in a kingdom that I have never been before. Upon arrival, there was another carriage waiting for us. The men that waited for us bowed to Elizabeth like she was a member of the nobility or something. They called her Lady Elizabeth like they know who she is. I was brought towards the carriage and placed hand cuffs on me and placed me in the back of the carriage like a criminal. We traveled a bit to the destination. I could not see where we were going. By the time the carriage stopped, the men grabbed me out and escorted me into a building where I was booked into jail. I was scared and confused, and I tried to put on the brave face the best that I could. When I got to the main room, I saw Elizabeth standing next to two women. They told me that I broke their society's law, and as punishment I have to serve three months in their jail and be a maid slave in the royal castle. I had the night shift which meant that I was working at 11:00 pm at night until 9:00 am. The men escorted me to my cell. There were people around me in the cells as well. They did not look like typical criminal types, and they were just as scared and confused as I was. They also told me that they broke some sort of society law just like I was. One of the inmates, Esmeralda, had the same shift that I did. She took me under her wing. She made my jail time less bearable. In those three months, myself and other maid slaves were carefully watched by a royal steward named Luther. He ruled with an iron fist. Plus those that have the night shift, he was really ruthless as well. I remember one night one of the other maid slaves who worked in the night shift. She fell and scraped her knee. I had to get some bandages. As I was trying to treat her, Luther found us and punished us and locked us up for that. He said that a maid slave is not supposed to help other maid slaves. Esmeralda stood up for us. However, she was punished as well. After that night, I realized that you can't trust royal stewards. After those three months were up, I was released and told if I decide to break a society law again, things for me will be a lot worse and I will get more jail time". Spencer said to them as she is crying as she recalls the events that happened to her.
Lady Agatha is shocked that Spencer spent time in jail as she hugs her. "Oh sweetheart, you did not deserve that at all. May I see those marks on your body please"? Lady Agatha asks Spencer as she wants to look at them. Spencer nods as she lets her see it. As she shows them to her, Lady Agatha frowns as she has seen marks like that before.
Roland looks at Spencer as he is horrified by everything she told him. Baileywick is stunned as he realizes that she had a bad experience with a royal steward before." Jail for a 13 year old and because of being told to go to Claire's house, just what kind of royal ruler does that to a 13 year old girl"? Roland asks them as he is wondering what kingdom that is.
Miranda looks at Spencer as she is wondering about the second great punishment. "Spencer, are you feeling up to talking about what happened before you turned 18 years old"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is wondering if she wants to talk about it.
Spencer looks at them as she shakes her head as she feels mentally exhausted like she opened up very old wounds that did heal sometime after that ordeal. "No, not right now", Spencer said to them as she does not want to talk about it.
Lady Agatha looks at Spencer as she deeply understands as Cedric is beyond horrified as there are far worse people than Grimtrix out there. "Levi, Yvette, will you two stay with Spencer while I talk to King Roland, Queen Miranda, Kimberly, and Baileywick alone please"? Lady Agatha asks them as she wants to talk to them privately and possibly ripping a new one in Baileywick.
Lucy looks at them as she also agrees as she wants to talk to them in private. "I agree, and I want to talk to them as well". Lucy said to them as she is deeply furious with Baileywick mostly.
The four adults agree with Dr. Lucy as Enrique looks at them as he sees that Cedric is getting pale. "I will take Cedric outside to give him some air". Enrique said to them as he wants to do that. Roland the first agrees as he will go with them.
Roland looks at the other adults as he thanks them. "Thank you", Roland said to them as they all left the room. The four of them went into the hallway and out of earshot of all of the people. "Lady Agatha, what is wrong? You look like you have seen something before"? Roland asks Lady Agatha as he is wondering about as they nod in agreement.
Lady Agatha looks at Roland as she nods as this is not easy for her to say this. "Those marks on Spencer, those are not ordinary marks, and I have only seen those two times before in my life. 25 years ago, when I was working in the catacombs in the kingdom of Wimona, all of skeletal remains have very similar marks at the exact same places on their bodies on them just like on Spencer. I saw it again recently when more remains were discovered in that section of the hidden cave. Who did it knew what they were doing. Plus, I have bad gut feeling that Elizabeth had Spencer to be sent into that mirror as a part of that punishment and whoever did it grant that for Elizabeth". Lady Agatha said to them as she reveals a shocking truth.
Roland is stunned as he feels deeply sick about it. "No wonder Cedric looked freaked out when he saw them in the cave. It maybe that Spencer was sent to that cave first where she was sent to the mirror before she was locked away in jail and forced to work as a maid slave during the night hours alone without any help". Roland said to them as he is wondering about it.
Baileywick looks at them as he is deeply stunned as he realized that is an experience that Spencer. "No wonder when Spencer told me that she had her reasons and experience when it comes to working alone. She had experiences of this as a 13 year old girl. I really messed up on it". Baileywick said to them as he needs to make things right big time.
Kimberly looks at Lady Agatha as she sighs as she and Spencer already made plans for her to continue to work at the castle until she leaves this world. "It would explain why she wears long sleeve dresses even in the summertime. She didn't want others to look at the marks especially the back of her neck and both of her wrists. It also explains how she manages to stay up through the night with me". Kimberly said to them as she has a lot to reflect about.
Baileywick looks at them as he thinks about what he can do to make her castle workdays easier. "The castle maid dress will have the mark on the back of her neck and wrists show. However, the outfit that I and Alice have will cover things up to make it more comfortable for Spencer to wear". Baileywick said to them as he explains about it.
Kimberly looks at Baileywick as she thinks about it deeply. "I will talk to Spencer about Baileywick". Kimberly said to Baileywick as she made plans to do just that.
Roland looks at them as he is wondering about things. "It makes me wonder what kingdom Spencer was locked up in jail was. What kind of ruler does that to a kid"? Roland said to them as he was wondering about it. He is ready to rip and chew out the ruler of the kingdom that locked up.
Miranda looks at Roland as she thinks back to what Lorenzo said about his mom being locked up in Wimonia and Spencer talking about a woman named Esmerelda. "I do not know Roland. However, I got a gut feeling that the kingdom where Spencer was locked up is the kingdom of Wimonia". Miranda said to them as she has a good educated guess about it.
Lady Agatha frowns as she does not like it as she is getting angry. "The kingdom that I helped save and fell in with Spencer's real father years ago. If that is true, there is a rotten rat there and much worse a corrupted royal in that kingdom". Lady Agatha said to them as she was furious about it. The four of them agree as they need to find out for sure.
Lucy looks at Baileywick and Kimberly mostly as she is not happy with Baileywick mostly. "Baileywick, I am not going to lie to you. When Spencer was talking about that horrible time when she was 13 years old, she has old scars that must have been healed that got reopened. She must have talked to someone about what she went through after that ordeal when she was 13. However with the recent brawl on her at her cottage, she faced that one enemy that has made her life completely miserable and fought back against her hard. Plus she has deep distrust in royal stewards, and that rooted from that ruthless royal steward in the kingdom that she was a maid slave. It is not known if it is with all royal stewards or just male royal steward. If it is with male royal stewards, it is going to be an uphill battle for her to fully trust you. That time in her life has made an impression that royal stewards cannot be trusted during her informative years. It is you that needs to show her that you can be trusted. Forcing her to trust you and others is not going to work. She is completely exhausted mentally and emotionally right now. I am going to suggest and recommend that she does light work and nothing too heavy or strenuous right now. Plus I am going to recommend that Spencer gets some counseling before she goes to confront Elizabeth. Plus I want you to look at yourself in a mirror and ask yourself what did I do wrong with her and reflect on that. I want you to identify the kind of person that Spencer is and realize that she is tough as nails, has the endurance as a knight, and a strong willed individual. My siblings and I may have been out of her life for 23 years, but we will be in her life now. Do make myself perfectly clear"? understood". Lucy said to Baileywick as she lays the law on him.
Baileywick looks at Dr. Lucy as he realizes that he must have pushed her deeply and not realized things. "Crystal clear Dr. Lucy", Baileywick said to Dr. Lucy as he does have things to do on himself.
Lucy nods as she looks at Baileywick as she sees that he got it. "Good", Lucy said to Baileywick as she turned to Kimberly. "Kimberly, we need to talk about her work schedule for after she gets discharged from the infirmary. I understand that she is your most trusted maid, friend, and a second daughter to you. However, I am not going to recommend that she be sleeping in the maid's quarters. There is no doubt in my mind that she will feel deeply displaced since her cottage is a complete mess. I am also not going to recommend that she goes back to assess nor clean that place alone. If she insists on going, make sure that someone is with her. Also, I am going to strongly recommend that she sleeps in one of the bedrooms in the castle for the time being and near you just in case she gets a nightmare from the brawl". Dr. Lucy said to Kimberly as she explained to her what she needs.
Kimberly looks at Lucy as she nods and understands about it. "Of course Dr. Lucy, will you walk with me to my room? I do want to see the bedroom that I am in". Kimberly said to Lucy as she was wondering about it.
Lucy nods as she walks with her as Roland shows the way to the room near his and Miranda's room right down the hall from them. As they arrive in the room, it is completely set up to where people can gather around her bed when the time comes. It has the dresser across from the bed. It has a chair in one of the corners of the bedroom. They look in the closet as it has dresses and shoes. Plus there is a bookcase with some books and some pictures of the family on the dresser as well. The room has a connecting room that has a bed and a dresser as well for Spencer to stay in. Roland notices there is a sketch design of the room along with the measurements that Spencer did on the previous visit. "Spencer must have thought deeply about how many people to gather around you when the time comes. Plus she wrote down the dimensions of every piece of furniture that needed to be brought over. She thought about the minimalistic approach to things". Roland said to Kimberly as he likes it.
Kimberly nods as she looks at it as she knows that Spencer placed a lot of thought and planning. "The servants must have seen the layout design before the brawl took place and made sure it got carried out. I love it". Kimberly said to them as she loves it.
Lucy looks at things as she notices the connecting room as it does not have any clothes. "I do like Kimberly. However, I do not see a place for the grandkids unless the connecting room is for them". Lucy said to Kimberly as she was wondering about it.
Kimberly looks at Lucy as she sighs to her. "The connecting room is for Spencer, Dr. Lucy. Plus knowing her, she will not want the grandkids to be in there. The grandkids do not know about my health. Your sister never told my family nor the grand kids because it was not her place or decision to tell them. Spencer has a strong sense of morals, and she did not get that from Elizabeth. I can tell you that right now". Kimberly said to Lucy as she explained things about Spencer to her.
Roland looks at Kimberly as he has his concerns about things. "Mother, the kids can't see a dead body. I won't allow that to happen". Roland said to Kimberly as he was wondering what would happen when that time came.
Kimberly looks at Roland as she gives him a look. "Roland Timothy MacArthur the second, listen to me dear, there is a plan already in place at that time. Before all of this happened, Spencer would have made the journey here and then to Tilly's house to deliver the news about my passing. Then she also drops off the papers and the instructions of everything that I want done for the funeral. After I am buried, wake, and will read, Spencer would have turned over the keys to you and she lives her life. However, things changed and that forced us to change plans slightly. Now, when I pass away, Spencer will lay a cloth over my body and get a couple of maids to block the door to prevent the kids from entering the room and go get you. Spencer will still travel to get the papers and start cleaning for the special meal and will read. The keys will still be turned over to you after the funeral". Kimberly said to Roland as she has already made the arrangements for things.
Roland is stunned as he looks at Kimberly as he does not realize that she already planned things. "Wow mom, you have everything planned already. Madeline is starting to question Cedric though". Roland said to Kimberly as he realizes that she already made the plans so her actual kids do not have to take on that task.
Kimberly looks at Roland as she nods in agreement. "Yes dear, Madeline is more intuitive for her own good. Will you talk to Madeline about questioning things on people"? Kimberly said to Roland as there is something that needs to be done.
Roland looks at Kimberly as he sighs as he knows that Miranda gave her and Sofia a good talking to. "Miranda did have a talk with Sofia and Madeline about it once. It seems like Madeline isn't fully getting it". Roland said to them as he has a bad feeling about what will happen if she pushes someone to tell her about things.
Kimberly sighs as she looks at Roland as something needs to be done. . "Madeline needs to understand that prying things out from people is not going to work. Sooner or later, Madeline is going to make someone snap at her. Also, she needs to understand that there are consequences for pushing someone too far". Kimberly said to Roland as she is worried that she might do the same thing to someone else.
Lucy looks at Kimberly as she thinks about things as she looks at her and Roland. "Ms. Kimberly, King Roland, it may be just what Madeline needs to make her listen to reason. That is how most kids learned, and King Roland, you need to do something". Lucy said to Roland as she wants him to do something about it. Roland looks at them as he sighs as he knows that making Madeline made will make it hard for her to listen.
That evening, the kids are in the playroom as today has been long, especially since we got to see Spencer face to face in the infirmary. Madeline frowns as she is getting mad as she looks at them. "Just who thinks Spencer is snapping at Baileywick like that for. I mean I have never come across a maid that would snap at Baileywick like that". Madeline said to them as she is wondering if Spencer is a bad person. "
Sofia looks at them as she does not get an evil or bad vibe for her. "I do not know Madeline. Spencer is a much tougher maid than she looks, especially since she was raised by Dr. Elizabeth. I mean she could have turned out worse, but she didn't turn out that way. I mean she must have really strong principles and morals to herself". Sofia said to them as she thinks that she will be a lot tougher to get through to.
Amber agrees with Sofia as she got reunited with her real and biological mother today. "I agree with Sofia. From the looks that Lady Agatha and her grown children were giving each other, it is like she has finally found her true family in a long time. They all have been looking for her very much". Amber said to them as she is pleased about it.
James also agrees as he is wondering about something else that is on his mind. "At the same time, I am wondering what the great punishments Spencer was talking about are. Dad sent us out of the room before she could tell us about it". James said to them as he was wondering about them.
Madeline agrees as she looks at James as she didn't get to know about it. "Me too, I mean it is like it is something that they did not want us to hear about. I mean what could possibly be about for the grown ups to send us out of the room"? Madeline asks them as she wants to know about it.
Sofia looks at them as she does not know as she is puzzled about it herself. "We need to find out about it and get her to talk about it". Sofia said to them as they agree with Sofia as they are wondering how they should do it.
The next afternoon, Sofia is in the village as she just left Ruby and Jade's house. She notices Jennifer in town as the two of them has been communicating with each other ever since the pyramid. "Jennifer, what brings you to Enchancia"? Sofia asks Jennifer as she is wondering about her being in the kingdom.
Jennifer looks at Sofia as she is pleased to see her. "My dad is in the village getting some things. To tell you the truth, I am kind of envious about people who have a mother though. What about you? Usually you and Madeline are doing things together". Jennifer said to Sofia as she notices all sorts of kids being out and about with their moms.
Sofia looks at Jennifer as she can understand and relate on it. "Yeah, I can relate to you on that. Madeline and I used feel that way on Father's Day before our mom merry our father. We were still like that last Father's Day, but our dad's love us now and forever. Plus Madeline is sulking back at the castle because she is grounded right now for being deeply disrespectful and rude towards a maid. Yet, it is the maid that actually put her in her place". Sofia said to Jennifer as she reflects about it.
Jennifer looks at Sofia as she is stunned about it. "Mother's day was always so weird. Everyone would give me, my dad, and grandfather looks on why we are eating out at a restaurant in the kingdom of Novamina without the mother of our lives. I remember one time; one of the mothers was passing out flowers at my school to give to our mothers. When it came to me, I asked for a white flower because my first mother died when I was born. The woman looked at me and told me that I didn't deserve to get a flower for me mom then and went on to the next kid like she excluded me on it. Grounded wow, I would have never guessed that at all". Jennifer said to Sofia as this is a huge shock.
Sofia nods as she looks at Jennifer as she is amazed about it. "Wow that is harsh for not getting a flower to honor your deceased mom. What does a white flower mean on Mother's Day though? Plus my mom and dad didn't let her off the hook for it easily or anything. It is like they gotten a wake up call about it. Plus I have never seen anyone calling Madeline out like that before though". Sofia said to Jennifer as she is wondering how Spencer did that.
Jennifer looks at Sofia as she shrugs to her as she says hello to her. "Well, a white flower on Mother's Day means that your mother has passed on and your mother is up in the heavens. My dad and my aunt always told me stories about her. I do have a grandmother, but she mysteriously disappeared almost 11 years ago. However, it is not the same not having a mom now though. I know that my dad is trying to get out there in the dating scene, but it is hard though. Plus my dad and grandfather does discipline me fairly though. It might be that your parents need to start doing that as well. Plus, I am actually an only child". Jennifer said to Sofia as she explains it better.
Sofia looks at Jennifer as she learns that she is actually an only child. "Sometimes I wish I was an only child. Jennifer, you are lucky you don't have siblings. I have three of them at the castle, and sometimes it can be challenging". Sofia said to Jennifer as she is wondering what it is like to be an only child.
Jennifer looks at Sofia as she shrugs as she is only child. "True. However, sometimes, I have always been curious what it is like to have a sibling or two. Being an only child, it means that I am the eldest and the baby of the family". Jennifer said to Sofia as she explains about it.
The two girls looks at each other as they challenge each other to spend 24 hours as each other. As the girls cast a disguise spell on each other, they tell each other about the adults in their lives. Plus Jennifer hands Sofia her tambourita. "Good luck Sofia", Jennifer said to Sofia as they are ready to take on the challenge.
The two girls went their separate ways as they head towards their respective destinations. In the village, Lorenzo looks around as he sees Jennifer (Sofia) coming back. "Ready to go Jen bug", Lorenzo said to Jennifer (Sofia) as he calls her a nickname that she had when she was a little toddler.
Jennifer (Sofia) looks at Lorenzo as she has never heard the nickname Jen Bug before. It is cute and sweet to say the least. "Always dad", Jennifer (Sofia) said to Lorenzo as they are heading towards the carriage.
The two are walking towards the carriage as all the sudden Cedric bumps into them as a few things fall to the ground. "I am sorry about that". Cedric said to them as they picked up some things. Cedric has not met the man yet as he does not notice that something is off.
Lorenzo looks at the items as he helps Cedric. "It's ok", Lorenzo said to Cedric as he notices bottles of potions and none of them broke. "Are those energy potions"? Lorenzo asks Cedric as he is wondering about it. He recognizes it by the color of the potion and what it is meant to do for a person.
Cedric looks at Lorenzo as he nods to him as he did not realize that this man is the guy to talk to about things. "Yes, how did you know"? Cedric asks Lorenzo as he is wondering about it.
Lorenzo looks at Cedric as he is reminded about his mother. "My mother was a sorceress and a potion master. She sold potions like this back in Avalor in the pre-Shuriki days and in a different kingdom during Shuriki's reign". Lorenzo said to Cedric as he has the memories of her.
Jennifer (Sofia) frowns as she realizes that she and Jennifer will be caught in that instance. 'Uh oh Mr. Cedric okay just stay calm, maybe he won't notice'. Jennifer (Sofia) thought to herself as she notices that the two adults are talking about things.
Cedric looks at them as he is intrigued about it. "Wow that is very interesting. I am just picking these up for the grand queen". Cedric said to Lorenzo as he explains to them as he was picking something up for the grand queen.
Jennifer (Sofia) is stunned as she learns that the energy potions are for grand mum. 'Energy potions for grand mum, what is that about? Wait a minute, Madeline and I saw Spencer picking some up that Saturday long before the attack. So why would grand mum needs them'? Jennifer (Sofia) thought to herself as she is wondering about it.
Lorenzo looks at Cedric as notices a journal with the name Renee on it. "I want to ask you if I can barrow that journal please? I will give you my word that this book will be returned to you in the same condition or better that I received it". Lorenzo asks Cedric as he is wondering about it as it could be the final piece that he needs in his investigation.
Cedric looks at Lorenzo as he hands the book to him. "Sure", Cedric said to Lorenzo as he does not realize that he did not get his name. As Lorenzo looks at Cedric as the sorcerer hands the journal to him, he nods as he looks at Cedric. "Thanks, I better be heading back towards the castle". Cedric said to Lorenzo as the three of them parted ways.
Jennifer (Sofia) sighs in relief as Cedric didn't notice her. The two get into a carriage to head towards their home in the kingdom of Novanima. "So dad, what was grandmother like"? Jennifer (Sofia) asks Lorenzo as she is wondering about her.
Lorenzo looks at Jennifer (Sofia) as he sighs as he does not want to talk about it. "Jen Bug it been almost 11 years since I last saw your grandmother". Lorenzo said to Jennifer (Sofia) as he doesn't really want to talk about it.
Jennifer (Sofia) looks at Lorenzo as she is curious about it. "How come though? Did something happen between the two of you"? Jennifer (Sofia) asks Lorenzo as she wants to go deeper about it.
Lorenzo looks at Jennifer (Sofia) as he is getting surprised by the curiosity in his daughter all of the sudden. "Well it happened to the family by a certain man that broke your Aunt Gabriella's heart and when a certain woman that had no business to interfere with the family. You will understand when you are old enough to understand". Lorenzo said to Jennifer (Sofia) as he shuts that conversation really quick.
Jennifer (Sofia) looks at Lorenzo as she can tell it is a hard subject to talk about. "Oh ok", Jennifer (Sofia) said to Lorenzo as she does not learn more about it. Lorenzo nods as he got Jennifer (Sofia) to drop the subject.
As the carriage gets to the kingdom of Novanima, Jennifer (Sofia) sees a mansion style manor house. She is stunned to see that she lives here. Jennifer (Sofia) sees an Fernando as he is reading a book. "Grandfather Fernando", Jennifer (Sofia) said to him as she says hello to him as she has a lot of exploring to do.
Fernando looks at Jennifer as he nods to her as he needs to get started with training. "Hello dear, ready for your advanced tambourita training"? Fernando said to Jennifer as she is wondering about it.
Jennifer ( Sofia) is stunned as the real Jennifer did hand her the tambourita before they trade places. "Advanced tambourita training sure", Jennifer (Sofia) said to Fernando as she is wondering how that will go.
Fernando nods as they went to the workshop as they are doing some training with the Tambourita for two hours. Jennifer (Sofia) is stunned that Jennifer is really skilled with the tambourita while she completely messed up with some of the spells. After training, Jennifer (Sofia) looks at Fernando as she has some questions. "Grandfather Fernando, why do you teach me the ways of the tambourita? Wouldn't a normal wand be better"? Jennifer (Sofia) asks Fernando as she is wondering why they train with a tambourita.
Fernando looks at Jennifer (Sofia) as he is curious why she would ask such question all of the sudden. "Even though we are miles away from Avalor, I want to take the traditions with us. To stay connected with our heritage and traditions, it is deeply important to pass it down to future generations of the Garcia-Roberts household". Fernando said to Jennifer (Sofia) as he explains it to her.
Jennifer (Sofia) looks at Fernando as she ponders about that it does make a lot of sense as they are miles and miles away from Avalor. "Grandfather Fernando, what happened to grandma anyways"? Jennifer asks Fernando as she is wondering about it still.
Fernando looks at Jennifer (Sofia) as he sighs as this is not an easy conversation to have with her especially since it hit Lorenzo really hard. "Well, after the death of your Uncle Angelo, your grandmother and I broke up. Sometimes the death of a child can destroy a marriage. Your uncle Lorenzo, Aunt Gabriella, and your grandmother went to a different kingdom. Even though we were living separately, we stayed connected. However almost 11 years ago, we received word from your Aunt Gabriella that your grandmother was arrested very suddenly. Your father and I went to that kingdom to get some answers about it. To our dismay they didn't tell us anything about it. Also, your aunt Gabriella and her baby also vanished not very long after that. Unfortunately your Aunt Gabriella passed away on very mysterious and magical circumstances some years after that". Fernando said to Jennifer (Sofia) as he does not want to talk about the baby.
Jennifer (Sofia) is stunned as Gabriella has passed away some time ago due to mysterious and magical circumstances. "What about her baby though? Could be some where out there though"? Jennifer (Sofia) asks Fernando as she is wondering about the baby.
Fernando looks at Jennifer (Sofia) as he shrugs as he needs to explain things to her. "Sometimes, when a mother is faced with a hard decision with both pros and cons, she makes the most difficult decision that most people would have trouble making. At the same time, no one is truly right or truly wrong with consequences on both sides on which ever fate the mother makes. However, when it comes to the fate of the world, that choice that she made is the lesser of two evil, think about it". Fernando said to Jennifer (Sofia) as he gives her a very cryptic answer.
Jennifer (Sofia) looks at Fernando as she is wondering what he meant by it. "Umm, I better go see my room see you grandfather". Jennifer (Sofia) said to Fernando as she leaves the room as she is carrying the tambourita with her.
Fernando nods as Jennifer (Sofia) as she went towards her room. On the hall way, she spots a chart on the wall with Lorenzo's dream on it to bring the four half siblings together. She is pondering about it. It has a circle with the letter B in the middle. To the left, there is a circle with the letter M on it and two circles connected to it that says child 1 and child 2. To the right, there is another circle with the letter G and a circle connected to that one with the name my angel. To the bottom, there is another circle with the name Eliza on it with and a circle with her name on it. 'Do I have half siblings out there'? Jennifer (Sofia) thought to herself. As Jennifer (Sofia) looks in the room, she sees it being a complete mess. She sighs as she was not expecting him. 'Where is Baileywick when you need him'? Jennifer (Sofia) thought to herself as she. As the time goes by, she realizes that being an only child is not what it cracks up to be as she gotten very lonely and bored really easily.
Back at the castle, Sofia (Jennifer) has been having fun with Madeline, James, and Amber. However, she also notices that when she was trying to do other things, the other siblings disturb her or get into small disagreements. She is thinking about how she can help her dad with the dating world as she went to go find Roland. Sofia (Jennifer) spots them as she went to sit down. "Dad, may I ask you an interesting question"? Sofia (Jennifer) asks Roland as she notices Roland the first and Enrique as she knows that they are at the castle.
Roland looks at Sofia (Jennifer) as he has never heard her saying a question like that before. "Sure Sofia what on your mind"? Roland asks Sofia (Jennifer) as he is wondering what the question is about.
Roland, Roland the first, and Enrique look at Sofia (Jennifer) as they are a bit stunned by the question. "What made you decide that Amber and James needed a mom"? Sofia (Jennifer) asks Roland as she is wondering about it.
Roland looks at Sofia as it is an interesting story. "Well, there is one story that involves with the wishing well. However, there is a different story I do want to tell you. It was about six years ago. To tell you the truth, it was a pivotal moment in time for me". Roland said to Sofia (Jennifer) as he is reflecting about a particular day some years earlier.
Sofia ( Jennifer) looks Roland as she is curious about it. "What kind of moment did it have on you dad? Was it something good"? Sofia (Jennifer) asks Roland as she is wondering about it.
Roland looks at Sofia (Jennifer) as his father and father in-law is wondering about how it happened. " It happened on what would have been my first wife's birthday. She was Amber's and James's first mother that died not long after they were born. Her birthday was hard on me and especially on Cedric. Cedric and my first wife were very deeply close. Anyways on this particular day, I saw Cedric carrying a small half of bouquet of dragon lilies up the stairs. When I looked at his face, I saw that he was happy like someone brought him some inner peace and kindness to him. However, the moment that Amber was being mean and judgmental about it, it was at an instance that the kindness and inner peace was cruelly taken away from him. I watched Cedric picking up the flowers and went up to his workshop like hewas going to cry. I got on to Amber about it. She was supposed to apologize to Cedric about it. I never did check on Cedric to see if he was feeling ok. After that, I knew that the kids needed a mom and starting dating again. However as time went on, I had a lot of fates with different royals in the kingdom and outside of the kingdom. Some of them were the wrong match. A few of them ran to the hills when they learned that I have kids. I remember one of them in particular told me to leave my kids at an orphanage and have new kids because she refused to be a mother to kids from a different woman. I shut that down immediately. However, one day, I needed a new pair of royal slippers. I summoned the shoe marker from the village. Nothing could prepare myself who I was going to meet let alone meeting her two kids as well. That is when I first saw your mother, you, and Madeline. I saw how the both of you helped your mother on that day at the castle. Of course, nothing could prepare myself what was happened on my first date with your mother". Roland said to Sofia (Jennifer) as he explains about what happened before he met Miranda.
Enrique looks at Roland as he realizes that Miranda has learned to make shoes while she was on her own in life. "What did happen on that first date exactly"? Enrique asks Roland as Roland the first is curious about it.
Roland looks at Enrique as this story has been a conversation piece as it has made them laugh about it for years. "Well, Miranda and I had dinner at the castle. All the sudden, Sofia threw pudding into my face. She told me if you were going to love and date her mother, you have to accept me and Madeline as the complete package. When I realized that Miranda also have kids as well, I knew that she will accept Amber and James as the complete package as well. It felt like a powerful sign telling me that it is ok to date someone else. Miranda was not going to replace the memories that I had with my first wife. She was going pick up where she left off like how I picked up where your first father picked off from". Roland said to them as he looks at Sofia (Jennifer).
Roland the first looks at them as he chuckles about the pudding story. "I never thought about that like that before son". Roland the first said to Roland as he realizes that love found him in mysterious ways.
Enrique looks at them as he also chuckles about the pudding as well. "You must have laugh about the pudding after it happened Roland". Enrique said to Roland as he can imagine them laughing about it.
Sofia (Jennifer) looks at them as she thinks about something else. "Wow, so if Amber was not being mean to Cedric on that particular day, things could have turned out differently". Sofia (Jennifer) said to Roland as both Amber and Cedric played a role in things.
Roland looks at Sofia as he nods to her as it can be true. "Perhaps so, however, I never did ask Cedric about the bouquet of flowers though or who gave it to him". Roland said to Sofia (Jennifer) as he always wanted to know is who gave Cedric the flowers.
Sofia (Jennifer) nods as she thinks about it. "Well dad, every story has two sides of things. It maybe that Cedric has that other side that never got told to you for some reason". Sofia said to them as it is almost time to ask Cedric about it.
Roland the 2nd looks at Sofia as he deeply thinks about it as there is a lot that he has not gotten the chance to talk to him about it. "You are right Sofia. I think it is time to ask him about it". Roland said to Sofia (Jennifer)
Sofia (Jennifer) nods as she looks at him. "I will see you later ok". Sofia (Jennifer) said to them as she heads up to her room.
That evening in the kingdom of Novanima, Lorenzo is deeply reading the journal that Cedric let him borrow. He is stunned as he reads various entries that Renee has done going back over 20 years. Fernando looks at Lorenzo as Jennifer (Sofia) is asleep. "Dad, this journal is the smoking wand. It is a written confession of everything Renee has ever done explaining how she did it as well. Also all of this evidence that Enrique sent me a couple of days ago backs up everything that the journal said as well". Lorenzo said to Fernando as he realizes that his long time goal and dream to arrest Renee is coming soon.
Fernando looks at Lorenzo as he looks at the pages as it has all sort of things. "Really", Fernando said to Lorenzo as he is wondering about things as he is thinking about Esmeralda.
Lorenzo nods as he turns to a particular page in the journal. "That woman told Queen Samantha to arrest mother for knowing about how Gabriella gotten pregnant with her child as a violation of the Queen Trinity Society". Lorenzo said to Fernando as he grabs the letters that King Charles the second sent to them every year. "King Charles the second never had any kind of record of mother being booked into prison there. Mother never broken the law of the kingdom. It is those laws of their ideals and how to live". Lorenzo said to Fernando as he realizes that there are more people involved with it.
Fernando looks at Lorenzo as he realizes that it was not the guards from the king it was the guards witht the society that arrested his ex-wife. " That is the truth son".
Lorenzo nods as he looks at Fernando. "King Charles the second has no idea that his wife had people arrested for things that are not in the official law of that kingdom behind his back. I need to report this to Atticus. It is time to get the approval from the council to arrest Renee and I want to gain approval from a king and queen in particular". Lorenzo said to Fernando as he has a particular king and queen in mind.
Fernando looks at Lorenzo as he is getting the feeling on which it is going to be. "You mean the royal rulers of the kingdom of Enchancia". Fernando said to Lorenzo as he is curious on who it might be.
Lorenzo grabs a letter and a box as he puts a big item in it first. He makes an exact copy of the journal for his records. He puts the true original journal in the box. As he address the package to Cedric of Enchancia, he writes a letter to him. "Yes it is dad. I will send this first thing tomorrow. Plus I will contact Atticus in the morning as well and teleport all of the evidence to him for his analysis and council decision". Lorenzo said to Fernando as this is a huge break to them and their family.
Fernando looks at Lorenzo as he is deeply proud of him. "Your sister and your mother will be so proud of you for what you did. It will not be long until Esmeralda will be free from that jail in the kingdom of Wimonia". Fernando said to Lorenzo as they have a small celebration as they get to bed.
The next day in the village, Jennifer and Sofia meets up as the both of them had a good idea what it is like. "I never realized that being an only child was not as fun like I thought it was going to be. I had a lot of alone time which was nice". Jennifer (Sofia) said to Sofia (Jennifer) as she liked the peace and quiet from her siblings. .
Sofia (Jennifer) nods in agreement as it is an eye opener to say the least. "Yeah plus having a sibling also meant getting pulled into small disagreements and other things. Plus I didn't get a lot of alone time either. I realized that a potential mom will have to accept me and dad as the complete package". Sofia (Jennifer) said to Jennifer (Sofia) as she has some advice for her dad.
Sofia looks at Jennifer as she realizes something that she completely forgot. "Oh yeah, did Madeline found out that we traded places"? Sofia asks Jennifer as it is the one thing that she got worried about.
Jennifer looks at Sofia as she shakes her head to her. "No she didn't. She was being a bit nosy about the energy potions that Cedric had for your grand mother. It is like she wanted him to tell her everything about it. Who it is for? Why does he have it? It is those questions to him felt like he was in interrogation room". Jennifer said to Sofia as she does not like how she questioned him about it.
Sofia looks at Jennifer as it Madeline that did that to Cedric. "Yes that's Madeline for you. I hope you weren't too hard on her for it? Mom gave me and her a talk about it that didn't really catch on with her". Sofia said to Jennifer as she is wondering about it.
Jennifer looks at Sofia as she shakes her head to her. "Not really, I did not like how she was doing that to someone. I had to explain to her that forcing someone to reveal key information about things that she wanted to know can be described as coercion". Jennifer said to Sofia as she explains to what she said to her.
Sofia looks at Jennifer as she sighs as she knows that Madeline would have said something about it. "What did Madeline say after that"? Sofia asks Jennifer as she is getting the feeling that something is going on with her.
Jennifer sighs as she looks at Sofia as she shakes her head to her. "Madeline told me that she doesn't like how she is being kept in the dark when it comes to your grand mum. Has she tried to get answers about it from other people on what is going on"? Jennifer asks Sofia as she is wondering about it.
Sofia looks at Jennifer as she sighs to her as she knows of one particular person. "Yeah Spencer, Madeline has been questioning Spencer on why she is stealing grand mum's time away from her. She removed some bandages that shown really strange marks on Spencer's wrists that can't be reversed with a healing spell. Spencer put Madeline in her place very deeply that no one has ever done before, and she does not like her because of it. Amber, James, and I are happy that it had been done by now". Sofia said to Jennifer as she is pleased about it.
Jennifer looks at Sofia as she is stunned that even happened as she grins to her. "Wow, I really have to thank Spencer for that too. Plus we need to change back before the adults catch on". Jennifer said to Sofia as they do need to change back. Sofia agrees as they did the challenge.
Jennifer uses the spell to transform back to normal. "I will see you sometime soon". Jennifer said to Sofia as she gets her tambourita back. Sofia says her goodbyes as she smiles as she felt like she has learned more than being an only child.
As the two part ways, Sofia is reflecting about things as she did not as much get information about Esmeralda and Gabriella from Fernando but he looked like he didn't want to talk about it. 'Perhaps I did get pushy about things but maybe not in a coercive manner like Maddie did'. Sofia thought to herself as she realizes that pushing people into talking is not going to work. As Sofia got to the castle, she notices a package addressed to Cedric. Cedric comes out as he sees Sofia and the package. "Umm who sent you a package? Sofia asks Cedric as she is wondering what it is.
Cedric looks at the package as he is not sure as he is expecting something back from the man that he came across yesterday. "I am not sure but I will take it to my workshop". Cedric said to Sofia as he picks the package up as it is kind of heavy as he went inside with it. As the two of them are heading inside with it, Cedric is deeply pondering about what could be inside of it.
Sofia looks at Cedric as she notices how heavy it kind of it. "Wow, it looks kind of heavy Cedric. What did you order exactly? Plus should I get dad to help you"? Sofia asks Cedric as she notices that Roland is right there like he came just in time to help him. said okay see you Mr Cedice" "
Cedric looks at Sofia and Roland as he gotten some help with it. "I didn't order something Princess Sofia. Someone must have sent it to me. It will be sent to my workshop". Cedric to them as he is determined to see what is inside of that chest. Sofia understands as she went to go play with her siblings.
As Cedric and Roland got into the workshop, they place the package on the work bench as they are wondering what it could be in the heavy box. Cedric opens the package as the first thing he sees the letter on top. He pulls out the journal next as he is pleased that it is in good condition just like he had it. He is stunned as he and Roland see that there is some sort medium sized chest with intricate designs on it. "Cedric read the letter first". Roland said to Cedric as he has no idea who or what decided to send Cedric the chest for.
Cedric looks at Roland as he opens up the letter as he is just as confused about the chest. "It says Dear Cedric
Thank you for letting me borrow the Renee journal. It has provided the ultimate key clue to things that I have been working on for a very long time along with additional evidence against the individual that I am investigating. You have my deepest gratitude and respect to my family. The lights of truth will guide true justice those who has deeply broken the law for the past 20 years or so. As an extended of my gratitude, I am including a special chest to you. It is the last thing that my sister found in her adventurer days before she vanished and then passed away. May the wings of the Jaquins watch over you and the royal family that you work for.
Sincerely
SW"
Roland looks at Cedric as he is stunned by the contents of the letter. "Do you know anyone with the intitals SW"? Roland asks Cedric as he is wondering about it.
Cedric looks at Roland as he shakes his head. "No, I bumped into a man yesterday. He saw the journal and asked me to borrow it. He did have a daughter with him, but I didn't really notice her though. He gave me his word that he will return it in the condition that he received it or better". Cedric said to Roland as he has never seen anything like it before. The two of them look at the chest as they see an inscription on it. "How strange, it says a princess without an amulet shall make a declaration against a being who is an enemy of both worlds about the future queen of the enchanted kingdom. As her scream for the two princesses who are pulled into an Amulet of Avalor, this chest shall fully open to reveal the Heart of Queens and Heroines and the Shield of Knights and Heroes". Cedric said to Roland as this is very telling.
Roland looks at Cedric as this is very unexpected like the chest is meant to be here. "We have kept this safe and take it to the jewel room". Roland said to Cedric as he is getting a bad feeling that it is Amber that will scream for Sofia and Madeline. However, he does not know which amulet that the girls will be pulled into.
As the two of them brings the chest to the jewel room, Roland closes the door as Cedric is with him. Roland is long in thought as he thinks about the things that he learned in the past week. "This week has been a mother of all aftermaths and revelations". Roland said to Cedric as he is wondering what will come out in the fall out.
Cedric looks at Roland as he deeply agrees about it. "I agree King Roland. We will have to wait and see about what will come out in the fall out". Cedric said to Roland as the two part ways from the jewel room.
At the Grand Magical Council, Baileywick and Nigel are being escorted by Enrique and an Elite guard to go see Atticus as they are not going y to o be the only ones that will be there. Atticus looks at them as he has them take a seat as it is not long that another person will be joining the party. "Atticus, what is going on? I get a summoned notice like this unexpectedly"? A man asks Atticus as he sees a particular person in the room. "Nigel, what are you doing here? I thought you have passed away sometime ago". The man said to them as he remembers his daughter crying and upset that Robert told her that he is dead.
Nigel frowns as he looks at them man as he knows him. Baileywick is stunned as he is in the middle of this. "Dead, I have been alive all this time Richard. You told me to stay away from Laura some time ago. By the way, Laura should be deeply ashamed of herself for neglecting Dottie for so long". Nigel said to the man named Richard as there is bad history between them.
Richard is stunned as he hears the name Dottie. "Dottie, where is she anyways? She must have found you didn't she". Richard said to Nigel as he is getting the feeling that his son in law needs to be confronted.
Baileywick frowns as he glares at Richard as he wants to get in this as well. "Oh, she found more than my brother, sir. She found me and her cousin who happens to be my daughter". Baileywick said to Richard as he is backing Nigel up on this.
Richard looks at them as Enrique is not pleased with him as Atticus looks at them. "Richard sit down please, I asked you to come here to fully see the truth about a grand council member decades ago that has resulted with this". Atticus said to them as Baileywick hands him the family tree scroll that Lady Agatha made.
Richard looks at Atticus as he knows not to cross him. "Alright, what is this about"? Richard asks Atticus as the four of them gets started with the meeting.
Atticus uses a spell on the family tree to point at a particular person on the chart. "Baileywick, Nigel, your great great great grandfather was a member of the Grand Magical Council. However, from our research, he cast a spell on his own bloodline to have a magical block on it. It prevents anyone in your bloodline to be non magical and zero sorcery ability. It is only passed down to the son. However with the both of you having daughters, they and the both of you to will be allowed to use magical items, but no sorcery ability. It is an extremely rare magical condition called Magical Bloodline Block Syndrome. The only cure is the reversal spell. However, it is not known who has the reversal spell at this time. It might be that the other brother of your great great great grandfather has it, but we don't know if that spell got passed down generations since then. It does not affect your overall health it just means that the both of you and your daughters are only limited to use magical items". Atticus said to them as he explains more about it.
Baileywick and Nigel are stunned as they have a lot to tell their daughters as well as other people. "I understand now". Nigel said to Atticus as he is not worried about things. Baileywick agrees as he thinks back to when he used the shield the other night. 'No wonder that shield was able to appear to me and to use on that night'. Baileywick thought to himself as everything is starting to make sense now.
Richard is stunned as he hears that one correctly as he looks at them. "A bloodline block spell, that would have instantly remove the member from the grand magical council for an eternity". Richard said to Atticus as he realized that both Nigel and Baileywick came from a magical ancestor.
Atticus looks at Richard as he nods to him. "Yes, that is true, However, he did it the day before he died and the council was not aware about this until centuries later. Also, research indicates it that the he did it for punishing his own brother for getting a magical potion forbidden". Atticus said to Richard as he lays down the law on him.
Richard is stunned as he didn't know about it. "That would mean, they had no idea what their ancestor did that resulted with Dottie and her cousin. They didn't know about this". Richard said to them as he realizes that Dottie was deeply unfairly punished for things she had no control all along.
Atticus looks at Richard as he nods to him as he needs to make things right. "That's correct, I would think you should think long and hard about what you have done to your own family". Atticus said to Richard as he wants him to think about things.
Richard looks at Atticus as he deeply understands about it. "I understand Atticus". Richard said to Atticus as he needs to inform of the family.
Atticus nods as he dismisses Richard from the meeting. He has Baileywick and Nigel leave the room as well. He looks at Enrique as he has some news for him. "I have deeply analyzed the scene spell of what happened at the cottage. It is determined that there was someone else that was involved in things on that Saturday night. Also I have informed the investigator on Renee about the evidence that was looked through. The investigator has determined that all of the evidence that was gathered and received is sufficient beyond a shadow of a doubt that Renee is eligible to be arrested". Atticus said to Enrique as he informs him about it.
Enrique is stunned as he does not realize that there was another person involved with it and the other piece of news. "What Renee is eligible to be arrested? Doesn't the investigator needs approval signatures from royals in the council and out of the council"? Enrique asks Atticus as he didn't know about it.
Atticus looks at Enrique as he nods as there was a vote that he was there for. "Yes, he has gotten enough approval from the council. He just needs to get approval from the ruling royal in the kingdom of Enchancia. He told me he is writing the letter to send to them now". Atticus said to Enrique as he explains it to him.
Enrique looks at Atticus as he has some heavy news to tell his son and how greatly it effects Olivia. "Oh my, I always knew this day would come. It just there will be a lot of crying and questions from Olivia about this". Enrique said to Atticus as he is in shock about it.
Atticus looks at Enrique as he can understand that this will be hard for her. "You and Ernesto will have to sit her down about this Enrique. Renee has gotten away with a lot of crimes, and it is high time that she answers for them". Atticus said to Enrique as he man is going to have things to do.
Enrique looks at Atticus as he understands about it. "Understood", Enrique said to Atticus as he leaves the room.
It is not long that Lorenzo walks in the room as Atticus looks at him. "Lorenzo, since the council has fully approved to arrest Renee, I want to ask you to let the Protectors of the Mystic Isles to be read in the investigation as well as look at the evidence that you gathered". Atticus said to Lorenzo as he explains to him about it.
Lorenzo nods as he looks at Atticus as he understands about it. "Very well Atticus, I will allow it". Lorenzo said to Atticus as he lets them to be read into the investigation. "The mother of aftermaths and revelations will bring justice". Lorenzo said to Atticus as they both agree that will be coming.
Atticus looks at Lorenzo as he also agrees about things. "I agree. Plus we have to be prepared for the fall out of the Renee investigation. There might be more people that have been involved with Renee that we don't know about. If that is the case, there could be more investigations into people and kingdoms as well. Also we do not know how many victims who have been trapped by Renee and her longtime associates of hers. Plus if her associates found out that you have been investigating Renee, you could be in serious danger". Atticus said to Lorenzo as he is deeply concerned about the fall out of things.
Lorenzo looks at Atticus as he understands as he might need to place Jennifer and his dad into protective custody. "I understand Atticus. My family will take the needed precautions and go to a place where they would not think to look for us". Lorenzo said to Atticus as he knows that their old house in Avalor is open and free. Atticus nods in agreement as this could be a turning point for a different investigation.
