The Last Ball Part 2

It is the middle of the night at the castle dungeon as the same four criminals are meeting back up with each other as Cindy and Maxwell are also meeting with them. Grimtrix and Ursula smirk at them as they used the energy-draining spells on Spencer and Baileywick earlier that day as things are getting more interesting as Ursula is holding the Eye of Conjure in her hands. Renee even got a special view of the thing. "Today went better than I hoped. Those kids didn't even see that there was two Grace running around the castle. However, I didn't realize that Princess Elena is at the castle, and that teenage girl Chloe gotten discovered and in the castle infirmary. However, I am pleased that you have gotten out of there in time Cindy". Renee said to them as she is pleased about it.

Cindy looks at Renee as she nods and she bows to her. "Of course Mistress Renee, what should we do about Princess Elena and that teenage girl Chloe though? They are obvious threats to society". Cindy said to Renee as she is wondering about it.

Renee looks at Cindy as she reexamines the footage that she has gotten. She is deeply in thought about things and needs to be smart about this. "They are both threats to the society Cindy. However, it is that Chloe that needs to be dealt with first". Renee said to them as Elizabeth, Grimtrix, and Ursula agreed as the biggest threat right now is Chloe.

Maxwell looks at Renee as he is a bit confused about things. "How is it that Chloe is a bigger threat to society than Princess Elena? I mean Elena is a princess"? Maxwell asks Renee as he does not fully understand the threat about the teenager vs a princess from a different kingdom.

Renee looks at Maxwell as Elizabeth and Ursula nod as they know what Renee means. Grimtrix is also pondering about it as he is wondering what they are coming from about it. "When you are a member of the society, you get updates who are locked up for breaking the society law. Plus Chloe is one of them who has broken the law and escaped from jail in Winona. Plus, the Bounty Knights will deal with her". Renee said to them as she explains why Chloe is the target first.

Maxwell looks at them as he shrugs as it is a way to look at things about it. "I guess I can understand that logic. However, what about Princess Elena? She is pretty tough, and not only that those two princesses that have ruined your plans are not aware of the two Grace.

Renee looks at Maxwell as she ponders about that one. "Hmm, let's leave Elena be for right now. If the Bounty Knights engage in a battle with her, it will give us more reason to find an enemy in Avalor to go after her. Plus as far as Princess Sofia and Princess Madeline are concerned, they will be too occupied with the passing. However, if they do get involved with things, we will know about it". Renee said to Maxwell as she smirks as she has plans in mind. "Plus, Cindy, you need to get going and stay out of sight of Enrique and the family until they get back to Gladiz". Renee said to them as she turns to Cindy.

Cindy nods as she looks at Renee as she understands about it. "Of course Mistress Renee, I will wait for new instructions". Cindy said to Renee as she bows to her.

Renee nods as she looks at Cindy as she got teleported out of the dungeon as she turns to Ursula as now it is time to move forward to the next part of the plan. "Grimtrix and Ursula, are you two ready for the next part of the plan". Renee said them as they have the Eye of Conjure as she wants things to get done.

Grimtrix nods as he looks at them as he takes the eye of conjure first and he uses a spell to open up the curtains at Roland the first house. Then he turns to Ursula as he hands the eye of conjure to her. As she says the fatal spell on William, it is sent towards Roland the first house as well.

Renee smirks as she uses a spell to observe it as they watch it happen. They see that William is slumped to the side of the chair. "Excellent work Ursula, now the mourning will be three times the difficulty to the royal family". Renee said to them as she smirks as things are getting started.

Grimtrix and Elizabeth look at them as they are looking forward to things. "Now we have a front-row seat to the sorrow and misery". Elizabeth said to them as she is enjoying to watch things.

Elizabeth nods in agreement as Maxwell looks at them. "SO what should I do in the meantime Mistress Renee"? Maxwell asks Renee as he is wondering about things.

Renee looks at Maxwell as she is pondering about it as she comes up with a simple thing for him to do. "You should act completely normal like nothing even happened". Renee said to Maxwell as she explains things to him.

Maxwell nods as he understands about it. "Alright Miss Renee", Maxwell said to Renee. As the four criminals teleport back to their cells, the same inmate from before learns about what they have done. 'What should I do', The inmate thought to himself as he needs to keep it quiet until it is the right time to tell someone.

...

Back at the castle, two-spirit carriers have arrived at the castle as they have ghosts with them. They went into Kimberly's bedroom as they look at the two departed ones. "Kimberly", a female spirit carrier said to Kimberly as she calls upon for Kimberly to rise from her body.

The male spirit carrier nods as he looks at the body of Roland the first. "Roland the first", the male spirit carrier said to Roland the first like he is calling out to him. "It is time that your spirits rise from your bodies please". The two-spirit carriers said to them as they said it in unison.

The spirits of Kimberly and Roland first comes out as they look at each other. "Roland the first, oh dear, you saw me passing away in front of you didn't you". Kimberly said to Roland the first as she realizes what had happened.

Roland the first nods as he looks at Kimberly as it exactly what happened. "Yes, my heart couldn't take it". Roland, the first said to Kimberly as he explains what happened. "Plus, I didn't want you to die alone either". Roland said to her as he didn't want her to be alone.

Kimberly looks at Roland first as she can understand his reasoning. "At least, we will be together still. Plus, I hope that Spencer will find this and give it to Madeline when the time is right". Kimberly said to Roland the first as she looks at the heart shape magic gem pendant and a letter for Madeline to be read in private. "Plus, we need to say goodbye to the kids and grandkids". Kimberly said to Roland as they have something to do.

Roland nods as he looks at Kimberly as he is thinking about something as he knows that this will break their hearts. "Agreed, I hope that Roland and Tilly will understand". Roland said to Kimberly as he is wondering if they will understand.

Kimberly looks at Roland first as she can understand where he is coming from. "They will dear, and they will know that you meant well". Kimberly said to Roland the first as they need to do things.

As the two new spirits went with the spirit carriers and the ghosts, they went to say goodbye to the people in the castle especially their grandkids. They went to the castle infirmary to say goodbye to Chloe as well. They went outside of the castle as Kimberly spotted a terrier dog, she got it to the backyard of the castle.

Kimberly and Roland first look at the castle one last time as they nod to it. "Goodbye family, friends, and Enchancia", Kimberly said to them as she knows that this is a permanent goodbye.

Roland nods as he looks at the castle one last time as he is right by Kimberly's side. "We will miss your kids very deeply". Roland said to them as they are ready to go with the spirit carriers.

As the two of them head up into the sky, they notice another spirit carrier and ghosts as they have a newly departed person with them. They are stunned by who it is as they have no idea what happened to him.

Roland, the first is stunned as they spot the other new ghost. "Oh no, this just made things even harder. Plus it will be a very long few days". Roland, the first said to them as they are wondering what could have happened.

Kimberly nods as she looks at Roland the first as she is getting the feeling that something is not right here. "I agree but why did it have to be him of all people that also passed away tonight. The grandkids just meet him. At the same time, something is not quite right here". Kimberly said to Roland the first as she is getting that feeling.

Roland first looks at Kimberly as he is wondering the same thing. "I agree. I just know that Roland will get to the bottom of it". Roland, the first said to Kimberly as they are wondering what is next for them.

...

In the Mystic Isles at the Isle of Protectors, Orion, Vega, and Chrysta are keeping an eye on things in the Ever Realm as they are wondering about things. Things seem to be fine as there is no sign of trouble in the Ever Realm or an isle in the Mystic Isles. All of the sudden, something is flashing in the room as there is some sort of new trouble to observe to check out. "Ok that is different", Vega said to them as they went towards the crystal ball as it is showing them a ship is heading towards the Enchancia Harbor.

Orion looks at them as he is wondering where the flashing is coming from. "That is weird there was a flash and then the crystal ball shows us this to view and observe". Orion said to them as he is wondering what it is.

Chrysta nods as she looks at them and she is curious about it. "But where is that flashing coming from? Judging by that flashing light, it must be really important to get our attention". Chrysta said to them that it must be really important.

Orion looks at Chrysta as he deeply agrees with her as it is something to deeply look into. "Let us see on the crystal ball to find out what it is exactly". Orion said to them as they take a look at the crystal ball.

The three protectors look at the crystal ball as they see a boat as she sees a group of people including a man and a woman like they are leading on a mission. "Something tells me those are not more friends of Sofia's and Madeline's". Chrysta said to them as this is starting to look bad. "About 20 men are wearing that kind of uniform and a man and woman are leading them". Chrysta said to them as there is a group of them on that boat.

Orion and Vega look at the men and the couple on the boat. However, Orion notices something else about the group as they have strange-looking pins on their jackets. He went to grab some papers about the marks on Prisma. "How particular", Orion said to them as he discovers something.

Vega turns as she looks at Orion as this could be troubling. "Orion, what's wrong? You look like you found something". Vega asks Orion as there is a startling new clue that is about to unearth.

Orion brings up the mark on Prisma's right wrist as he compares it to the strange pin on the men's jackets. "The mark on Prisma's right wrist matches to the pins on the jackets on those men. However, those men look like a bunch of knights of some kind and they don't match up to the knights in the Kingdom of Enchancia". Orion said to them as he points that out to them.

Vega frowns as Orion is right as there is a strange connection between that particular mark and the pins on the jackets. "That's disturbing Orion. Plus I got a bad feeling that they are up to no good". Vega said to them that this is going to be a mission for the girls.

Chrysta looks at Vega as she agrees about the situation. "We have to let the girls know about this right away". Chrysta said to them that this is very important for them to know. Orion and Vega agree as this is very important. "Sofia, Madeline please come in", Chrysta said as she is on her enchantlet.

Madeline wakes up as she hears her enchantlet going off as she is wondering about things. "Chrysta, hello", Madeline said to Chrysta as it is not long that Sofia also answers her enchantlet as she is half awake.

Sofia looks at Chrysta as she is rubbing her eyes as she looks at her. "Chrysta what is going on"? Sofia asks Chrysta if something must be wrong.

Chrysta silently curses herself as it is still very early in the morning in the Ever realm. "Girls, I am sorry to wake you both, but there is a strange group of people on a boat heading towards Enchancia harbor". Chrysta said to them as she tells them what is going on.

Sofia looks at Chrysta as they need to get out of bed and quickly get dressed. "At 5:30 am, it is too early for visitors to come into the kingdom". Sofia said to Chrysta as she notices the time.

Chrysta nods as she looks at Sofia as it is a strange hour for a boat to arrive. "Yes, there is a boat that just pulled up to the harbor in Enchancia. Find out who was on that boat and why they came to Enchancia". Chrysta said to them. "We will send Skye and Jethro over to you two". Chrysta said to them.

Madeline looks at Chrysta as she is on it. "On it Chrysta bye", Madeline said to Chrysta as she is getting up and dressed in a hurry as she needs to beat Sofia to her parent's room.

At Roland and Miranda's bedroom, Madeline walks in to wake up her parents. "Mom, farther, wake up please", Madeline said to them as she needs to tell them about it.

Roland is stunned as he sees Madeline and he notices the time. "Madeline, it is 5:45 am. Why are you up this early today"? Roland asks Madeline as he is wondering what is going on.

Madeline looks at Roland as she explains the situation to him. "Chrysta called. a ship just pulled up to the harbor in Enchancia. She also said that a group of men and a couple are on board". Madeline said to Roland as she explains the situation.

Sofia nods in agreement as she is surprised that Madeline gets to her parent's room quicker than her. "That's right dad, Chrysta is sending Skye and Jethro over to us". Sofia said to Roland as she plans to get some answers out of Madeline much sooner.

Roland frowns as this is not good as Elena is walking by as she is already up at this hour. "That is definitely on the strange side. Elena, I want you to go with them to check things out". Roland said to them as he does not want them to be too by themselves.

Elena looks at Roland as she agrees to do it as this could be a problem. "Sure, come girls you two are like my two little sisters". Elena said to them as they nod as they head out from the castle.

Miranda looks at Roland as this must be some protector business going on. "It seems that something is going on already for the girls to be up this early in the morning". Miranda said to Roland as she is wondering what it could be.

Roland looks at Miranda as he agrees with her as he noticed how Sofia interjects into the conversation when Madeline was the one that started to explain things first. "Yeah", Roland said to Miranda as he needs to look into things about the two girls.

The three girls leave the castle as Skye, Jethro, and Migs are waiting as he has been staying in while Elena is here. As they head towards the harbor, they have no idea what is about to happen at the castle.

At the harbor, the people have already gotten off the boat as they paid the dockmaster very nicely as well as a note for the reason why they are here. The dockmaster is very confused about the boat itself. The girls arrive at the harbor as they went up to the dockmaster. "Excuse me, did you see a group of people get off from this boat"? Sofia asks the dockmaster as she is wondering about it.

The dockmaster looks at them as he nods as it is very strange as he is holding a letter. "Yeah, the strange thing is that I didn't get the letter of their arrival about an hour ago. As quickly they got off the boat, they paid me nice for the slip and be out of Enchancia by tonight for some reason. They even handed me their intentions about things". The dockmaster said to them as he hands the letter to Elena.

Elena looks at the letter as the girls look at it as it is very suspicious as she reads it. "We only came to for very important business, and it is wise to stay out of it. Once we have the important business with us, we will depart from Enchancia". Elena said to them as it was very strange.

Sofia looks at the letter as something seems to be off about it as she notices the symbol on the letter like it is a signature. "That is odd and strange. It does not say what the important business is. It does not have anything very specific". Sofia said to them she sees that it does not know what it is.

Madeline nods as she looks at the letter. "Although I have seen the symbol on this letter before, it is the exact match to the mark on Spencer's and Prisma's right wrist". Madeline said to them as she has seen it before.

Sofia nods as she looks at Madeline. "You are right about that Maddie". Sofia said to Madeline as she looks at the dockmaster. "Do you have any idea which way that the group went"? Sofia asks the Dockmaster as she is wondering about them.

The dockmaster looks at them as he shakes his head to them. "No, one minute they greet me and pay me, the next minute, they left very swiftly like they are secret knights or something. Plus the couple that was with them appears to be the masterminds of the plan while looking worried about someone like they are trying to find a particular". The dockmaster said to them as he explains things.

Elena nods as she looks at the dockmaster as there is not much that they learned. "Thank you for your time", Elena said to the dockmaster as they get on their unicorns and jaquins to head back towards the castle.

Sofia looks at them as she is wondering about who could be after. "I am going to fill in Chrysta on what is going on". Sofia said to them as she is wondering who could it be that they are after. "Chrysta comes in", Sofia said to Chrysta as they are heading back towards the castle.

Chrysta answers the call from the enchantlet as she notices the trio heading back to the castle. "I am here Sofia. What did you girls find out"? Chrysta asks Sofia as she is wondering about it.

Sofia looks at Chrysta. "The group of people has gotten off the boat to have some sort of strange business in Enchancia and they will leave Enchancia as soon as they have it. Not only that the letter that the dockmaster has that strange symbol that matches to one of the marks on both Prisma and Spencer". Sofia said to them as she is explaining to her about it.

Chrysta looks at them as this is strange as she remembers about Orion noticed. "The same mark huh, that is interesting because Orion spotted pins on the men's jackets that also have the same mark to the mark on the right wrist. Any idea who they are after on the note"? Chrysta asks Sofia as she wondering about it.

Madeline looks at Chrysta as she has her theory about things. "I just know that they are after Chloe, Chrysta. Plus, I am planning to head to her room and stay with her". Madeline said to Chrysta as she knows where her room is in the castle infirmary is.

Sofia looks at Madeline as she remembers how she was wrong about things when Madeline was really underneath a spell and she does not want to get things wrong again. "You are wrong about that Madeline. Plus it does not say in the letter who they are after in the letter. You are just jumping to the wrong conclusions". Sofia said to Madeline as she points that out to her.

Madeline looks at Sofia as she is stunned that she just said that. Elena is stunned as she saw how the two of them are not in sync as a team. "You are just mad that Chloe is scared of you, and Dr. Lucy kicked the both of us out of her room in the castle infirmary when we visited her yesterday afternoon before the party got started". Madeline said to Sofia as she fires back towards her.

Chrysta is stunned as she hears that one correctly as she is kind of laughing about it. "Wait a minute, Chloe is scared of Sofia. I am sorry it just Sofia does not come across as a scary person". Chrysta said to them as she is kind of skeptical about it.

Madeline nods as she looks at Chrysta. "You heard that correctly Chrysta. Chloe is scared of Sofia. So much so that Dr. Lucy added her to the list of people who are not allowed to visit her in the castle infirmary", Madeline said to Chrysta as she explains it.

Sofia looks at them as she is dismayed about this still. "Chloe was underneath the blankets and hiding from me, Spencer, mom, and grandmum yesterday earlier that afternoon before me, Amber, and James took you to the park. She needed to get some air, and I pulled the covers off of her. It is just an overreaction and Spencer got mad at me for no reason". Sofia said to Chrysta as she explains it.

Madeline looks at Sofia as she is dismayed by that. "That is not the point Sofia. Spencer saw how scared and shy Chloe was even before you even came into the room. She wanted her to come out on her terms. You didn't even let her do just that". Madeline said to Sofia as she fires back at her.

Elena looks at the two of them as she tries to calm them down about it. Chrysta gives the girls a look. "Girls, calm down please, it is not the time to argue". Elena said to them as Chysta jumps into things as well. "Elena is right girls. Talk to your parents about the events that happened at the docks. We do not know for sure who they are after. If it turns out to be Chloe, make sure that she gets protected from their hands. Plus keep me in the loop about this". Chrysta said to them as she wants them to fill in their parents about it.

Madeline and Sofia look at Chrysta as they get their orders to do. "Yes Chrysta", Madeline and Sofia said to Chrysta as the call is drawing to a close.

In the background at the Isle of protector headquarters, the girls hear Orion speaking to Chrysta about something. "Chrysta, the spirit carriers have returned to the Mystic Isles from the Ever Realm, it is time for the Line of Final Respects ". Orion said to Chrysta as he tells her about it.

Chrysta nods as she looks at Orion as she does need to go. "Sorry girls, I got to go". Chrysta said to them as the call ends kind of suddenly.

As the call ends, the girls are kind of confused about what Chrysta just said. "Umm, what are spirit carriers and Line of Final Respect"? Elena asks them as she is a bit confused.

Sofia looks at Elena as she and Madeline are also a bit confused about it. "I have no idea. Come on, we better get back to the castle". Sofia said to Elena and Madeline agrees. Unbeknownst to them, Robin and Mia are flying near the ship was and heard the group talking about getting to the castle infirmary about a target at the castle infirmary. They nod in agreement as they need to head back and tell the animals about it.

Meanwhile, in Enchancia, a woman is walking outside as she notices that one of the neighbor's houses has the curtains wide open. She frowns as it is very strange as she went over. She knocks on the door as she knows that Roland the first has been to his house once a week for a while now. "William, are you awake"? The woman asks at the door, but she does not get any answers. She frowns as she tries two more times with the same no-answer response. She walks towards the front window and she sees William sitting in his chair as he does not respond at all. "Oh my", The woman said to herself as she gets going towards the castle

...

That morning, Roland, Miranda, and the adults are awake as they head down to the living room to get started with the day. Baileywick walks in the living room as he has a woman with him looking kind of franctic. "King Roland, Queen Miranda, something is wrong at Roland the first house. I am actually one of Roland the first neighbor's. When I saw his house, I saw that the curtains are wide open. I thought that was really strange. I knocked on the door to get William's attention, but he didn't answer. I looked into the window and saw William sitting in his chair but he was not moving at all"". The woman said to them as she explains what happened when she came by his house.

Roland the 2nd is stunned to learn that something could be wrong at his father's house. "We better head over there". Roland the second said to the woman as Miranda agrees with him. "Enrique, will you come with me and Miranda please? We also need to pick up Constable Myles on the way". Roland the second said to Enrique as he will need some help on this.

Enrique nods as he looks at Roland as he has his gear with him. "Of course", Enrique said to Roland as he is wondering what is going on. The three of them got into a carriage and picked up Constable Myles from his office.

As the four of the arrival at Roland the first house, they see that the curtains are wide open. Roland went to the door. "William, are you awake"? Roland asks as he knocks on the door. Again there was not an answer. He frowns as something is not right here. He has a spare key to the house as he unlocks the door.

They went into the living room where William is. Constable Myles looks at William as he checks for the pulse. Constable Myles does not find one as he has a grim expression on his face as he looks at Roland and Miranda as it is not good news. "I am sorry your majesty. William is gone". Constable Myles said to them as Enrique also does not find one.

The group is stunned as this unsettling news as the woman with them is shocked by this news. "What, my family saw him just yesterday and the kids just met him. How can that be"? Roland asks Constable Myles as Miranda frowns as she comforts the woman as she was the one that told them right away.

Constable Myles looks at Roland as he does not know as this could be a case of natural causes. "I do not know your majesty. It might be that it was William's time to go and died from natural causes". Constable Myles said to Roland as he is looking at things as cut and dry.

Enrique looks at Constable Myles as he is not sure about this as the woman is in shock. "Maybe but it needs to be investigated further to make that determination especially if magic was used in this". Enriqe said to them as he wants to get started with things.

Roland nods as he looks at the two of them. "I agree with Enrique on this. Constable Myles, can you take the woman back to her house and come straight back here". Roland said to Constable Myles as he is wondering how he is going to tell his dad about this.

Constable Myles nod as he takes the woman back to her house as Miranda is wondering what could have happened here. A few minutes later, he returns to the house as they have not gotten started with things. "I think we need to start searching the house if anyone took anything from the house". Constable Myles said to them as this could be a natural cause of death.

As the group agrees, they went looking around in the house to see if anything is missing. As they didn't see anything missing, it is starting to look like a natural cause of death. "Nothing was stolen out of here, and there is no sign of forced entry at all". Roland said to them as Constable Myles agree with him.

Constable Myles agrees with Roland as he also got that discovery. "You are right about that your majesty. We should check the living room again". Constable Myles said to them as it is the room where William is found in.

As they went back to the living room and look around, Constable Myles notices that William's head was turned towards the window like it was the last thing that he did before he died. "That is strange. It appears that William was looking at the window before he died. Then his body swayed like that towards the chair cushion". Constable Myles said to them as he noticing that about William's body.

Miranda looks at the window as the curtains are wide open as it is very strange. She notices a letter that needs to be put into an envelope that has an address in the kingdom of Irenba. "William even wrote a letter to someone named Sarah. However, it says my dearest daughter Sarah". Miranda said to them as she discovers the letter.

Enrique nods as he looks at Miranda as it was a conversation that he had with Roland, Roland the first, and William. "William told us about me, Roland and Roland the first about her yesterday. However, there is something very unusual and suspicious about things". Enrique said to them as he can see that something is very mysterious.

Roland looks at them as he is a bit confused about things. "What do you mean by unusal and suspicious Enrique? Like Constable Myles says, it could be that it was William's time to go. Plus we need to have this house locked up and take William's body back to the castle for Dr. Sloane to look at". Roland said to Enrique as he does not fully see it just yet.

Enrique looks at them as he grabs his wand out. "Yes the house does need to be locked up Roland. However, I believe that this is not as cut and dry that it appears to be. Plus, I have a gut feeling that this is a magical crime. I want all of you to stand back please". Enrique said to them as he is holding his wand in his hands.

Constable Myles looks at Enrique as he is stunned as he is getting the feeling on who he is. "A magical crime, are you sure about this Enrique"? Constable Myles asks Enrique as he is wondering about it.

Enrique looks at them as they went to the hallway and does what they are told. "There is only one way to find out about this with a magical signature check. If magic was used here, it is a magical crime and the main suspect is a magical being. If not, we are looking for a non magical being". Enrique said to them as he knows what he is doing.

The group nods as they stand back as they watch Enrique uses a spell to check for things. As it gets the results that magic was used on the curtains and William, a magical signature of an item appears to them. "This is a magical crime alright. Plus, this could be a problem". Enrique said to them as he realizes that there is a problem with it.

Everyone is stunned as they see this is a magical crime, not a non-magical crime. "What kind of problem dad"? Miranda asks Enrique as she is wondering what could be the problem.

Enrique looks at them as this is not going to be easy to explain. "That is the magical signature of the Eye of Conjure". Enrique said to them as he reveals it.

Constable Myles looks at Enrique as Roland has heard of the item before. "The eye of what", Constable Myles asks Enrique as he has never heard of it before.

Enrique looks at Constable Myles as he explains it to him. "The Eye of Conjure is an extremely rare magical item that allows a magical being to cast spells without using a wand or tambourine even from a distance. However, the only way to find out who used it is to recover the item itself". Enrique said to them as he uses a navigational direction spell on where the spells came from.

As the magical image appears of the location is revealed to them, Enrique frowns as he looks at them. "According to the results of the navigational spell direction, the spells came from the Enchancia Castle dungeon". Enrique said to them as they learn that the spell came from the castle dungeon.

Roland is stunned as he realizes that he has a problem on his hands. "We need to get William over to the castle infirmary for his body to take a look at., Constable Myles, I want you to talk to the neighbors and let them know about William's passing". Roland said to Constable Myles

Constable Myles nods as he looks at Roland as he understands the orders. "You got it". Constable Myles said to them as he got busy with things. As the group gets William's body into the carriage, Miranda closes up the curtains and Roland locks the door. They went to the castle infirmary first to drop off William's body with Dr. Sloane to find out how he died. Roland, Miranda, and Enrique return to the castle as they are reeling from William's passing and they have no idea that the day is getting harder than this.

...

Back at the castle, Spencer is awake as she gets out of bed and she slightly walks over to Kimberly's room as it is another day of work. She sighs as she remembers that Roland the first told her that he will wake her if something happens. She quickly got dressed as she went over to the bedroom as she spots Roland the first and Kimberly. She went to check Kimberly's pulse as she does not find one. She gasps as she checks Roland the first pulse but she does not find one. She went outside as she spots Baileywick as most of the family is down at breakfast already. "Baileywick, I need you to please". Spencer said to Baileywick as she knows that the kids can not learn about this yet.

Bailey wick said, Coming Spencer

Spencer nods as Baileywick is coming as he went to Kimberly's room. As he arrives, he also sees them. "Spencer, what happened"? Baileywick asks Spencer.

Spencer looks at Baileywick. "Last night, Roland the first told me that he will stay with Kimberly while I sleep in his bed. He told me that he will wake me if anything happens. I did what he asked. When I woke up this morning, I realized that Roland the first didn't wake me. I rushed in here to check on both Kimberly and Roland the first. I didn't find a pulse on either one of them, but they are holding their hands together". Spencer said to Baileywick

Baileywick looks at them as he is stunned by this as he also sees that Roland the first and Kimberly are gone. "Oh dear me, I want you to stay here and I will go get Peter, Tracey, Thomas, Roland, Tilly, Miranda, and Bartleby". Baileywick said to Spencer as he wants her to stay there.

Spencer nods as she waits in the room while Baileywick went to the dining room. She notices a heart-shaped pendant and a letter that has Madeline's name on it with the words to be read in private after the burial on it. She ponders about it as she holds on to it and gives it to Roland when he got to the room.

In the dining room, everyone is sitting down to breakfast as Sofia and Madeline had to wait because Roland and Miranda were out and about. Baileywick went to the dining room as he sees the right people. King Roland, you, Miranda, Tilly, Sir Bartleby, Peter, Thomas, and Tracey need to come with me please". Baileywick said to them as this is an emergency.

The seven adults nod as they got up from the table as something could seriously be wrong. as the rest of them are a bit confused about things. Roland looks at the kids as Miranda gives Enrique and Elena the task to keep an eye on them. "We will be back kids". Roland said to them as he needs to see what is the matter.

The kids nod as Sofia and Madeline wanted to talk to them. "Father, we need to fill you in about". Madeline said to Roland as she has been waiting for Roland and Miranda to get back as they were called to handle something else.

Roland looks at Madeline as the timing is very off about things right now. "We will be back in a few minutes Madeline, and it will have to wait". Roland said to Madeline as the seven of them went upstairs.

Madeline frowns as she is being told that something will have to wait until later. "Farther knows that I hate waiting". Madeline said to Sofia as she is wondering what is going on. Sofia looks at Madeline as she is wondering what is going on. The other kids have no idea what is going on either as they all have to wait.

Baileywick, Roland, Tilly, Bartleby, Miranda, Peter, Thomas, and Tracey have arrived at the room as Spencer is with Kimberly and Roland the first as both of them are passed away. "I went to check on both of them after I woke up, but I didn't find a pulse on either one of them. Plus they were also holding hands". Spencer said to them as she explains it.

The seven adults are stunned by this as they see Kimberly and Roland the first in that way. Tilly is stunned as she is crying as Bartley is comforting her. Roland frowns as he realizes that this day just got harder to deal with. "They must have gone together, and dad didn't want mom to be alone Not only that, but William has also passed away as well ". Roland said to Spencer as he looks at Baileywick as this also affects him.

The adults are stunned as they learn that one as it a mountain of bad news. "What, this is terrible. William was just here with us at the ball last night". Baileywick said to them like this very sudden as he does not know if his health was on a decline and kept that as a secret.

Roland nods as he looks at Baileywick as he is wondering about it. "I know and there is evidence that magic was also involved. Baileywick, I want you to go get Dr. Sloane as well". Roland said to Baileywick as he wants him to go get the doctor. Baileywick nods as he looks at Roland as he will do just that.

Spencer nods as she looks at Roland as she does need to get going to Kimberly's house. "I am deeply sorry Roland. I found this on the nightstand. It looks like Kimberly wanted to give this to Madeline". Spencer said to Roland as she hands it to him.

Roland the second look at the blue heart shape gem pendant and the letter with it. "Thank you, Spencer, I will make sure that Madeline gets this". Roland said to Spencer as he is deeply confused about things. Spencer nods as she grabs her bag and got going as she knows that she needs to head to Kimberly's house to do the final duties.

Roland sighs as he is crying as he is very confused about his dad dying so suddenly. It is not long that the doctors came with a couple of stretchers and took Kimberly and Roland the first back to the castle infirmary to find out how they died. The adults nod as Dr. Kim and Dr. Sloane came as they brought two stretchers with them as they got both bodies on them. "I will update you when I have anything". Dr. Sloane said to them as he got his hands full with William's body as well. The adults nod as they thank the two doctors. As they leave the room, they went downstairs to the dining room while Spencer grabbed her bag with the keys to Kimberly's house as she got going to her house.

The eight adults went into the dining room as Roland looks at the table as the kids and the other adults are wondering what is going on. "This is not going to be easy to tell all of you but both Kimberly and Roland the first has passed away last night". Roland said to them

Everyone is stunned as they heard that one correctly. The kids are deeply devastated about it. "What how can that be? We all saw them dancing last night". Amber said to them as she is devastated. She has a devastating expression on her face. The cousins are stunned as this is hitting hard for the royal kids.

Madeline looks at Roland as she does not want to believe that. "Father please stop, Grandamum and Grandpa the First could just be outside walking around before breakfast". Madeline said to Roland as she thinks that they are outside. I mean they been do that for the past few Morning's

James nods look at Roland as he does not believe that either. "Yeah we even met William last night and he kept up with us throughout the party". James said to them as he is skeptical about things.

Sofia looks at Roland as she is in shock like her siblings are right now. "What not William too, he kept up with all of us as James said ". Sofia said to Roland as she is wondering about him.

Roland looks at the kids as he shakes his head to them. "I am sorry kids, but William also passed away last night. Kimberly has left this for you, Madeline". Roland said to Madeline as he hands her the magic gem pendant and the letter to her.

Sofia is stunned as she watches Madeline getting something from Kimberly just exclusively to her and not her as well. "What but how dad"? Sofia asks Roland as she does not know how that could have happened to him.

Roland sighs as he notices that Baileywick is devastated about William. "I do not know Sofia. However under no circumstances that you and any of the kids are to investigate William's passing. Is that clear"? Roland asks Sofia as he does not want her and the other kids to investigate William's passing.

Sofia looks at Roland as she nods as she learns that she is not allowed to investigate it along with the other kids. "Yes dad", Sofia said to Roland as she is wondering about that one.

The kids are stunned as they didn't expect that one to come. Madeline frowns as she is deeply upset about things. "No, they are not gone". Madeline said to them as she runs outside and cried. Baileywick is devastated as he lost his mentor.

Tilly looks at Roland as this is going to be a long week. "Roland, I will go after her to talk to her. Elena will you join me please"? Tilly asks Elena as this is going to be a talk with Madeline.

Elena looks at Tilly as she agrees with her. "Of course Tilly", Elena said to Tilly as she joins with her. Olivia and Jennifer look at them. "May Jennifer and I come along with you two please"? Olivia asks them as they want to help. Tilly looks at Olivia as she agrees with her. "Of course", Tilly said to Olivia and Jennifer as the four of them leaves the table to go find Madeline.

The kids are stunned as they hear that one correctly. Roland looks at Baileywick and Alice as they need to take some action. "Baileywick will go get Constable Myles and inform him to spread the word about the passing of Roland the first and Kimberly. Tell him to have all flags in Enchancia to fly at half staff. Alice, will you send letters to the royals in our tri kingdom area and Irenba about the passing". Roland said to Baileywick and Alice as he needs to get things done.

Baileywick looks at Roland as now is not the time to sit around. "Sure King Roland the Second, let us go Alice", Baileywick said to Alice as they have a lot to do. Alice nods as she agrees as they get to work. The kids get up from the table as they are devastated and some of them went to the playroom while Olivia and Elena go outside to find Madeline.

Outside with Madeline, she is out in the garden as she is crying as it is not long that Tilly, Elena, Jennifer, and Olivia find her. "Madeline, may we join you"? Olivia asks Madeline as she is wondering about it.

Madeline looks at Olivia as she notices that she has Tilly, Elena, and Jennifer with her. She sniffles a bit as she wipes her tears. A dog is right by her side as it senses her feelings and gives her comfort. "Sure", Madeline said to them as she is getting the comfort.

The four of them sit with Madeline as this is not going to be an easy week to get through. "Madeline, I have been where you are right now". Olivia said to Madeline as she starts to explain things.

Madeline is stunned as she looks at Olivia and she is surprised about it. "Really but how exactly, I mean it's just me and Grandmum were close. Grandfather the first and I were not all that close, but he was closer to Amber than me". Madeline said to Olivia as she is wondering about it.

Olivia nods as she looks at Madeline as she needs to explain about her. "Yes, when Grandmother Josephine passed away two years ago, I was deeply devastated like you are now. We were close even though she and grandpa Enrique broke up long before us kids were even born". Olivia said to Madeline as she explains about her.

Madeline looks at them as she is thinking about things. "How could this have happened though? I mean they all passed away last night like this"? Madeline asks them as she wants some answers.

Elena looks at Madeline as she does not know about it. "I do not know Madeline. However, they do live inside of your hearts now". Elena said to Madeline as she knows how she feels right now.

Tilly looks at Madeline as she is not sure about it as well. "Elena is right Madeline. Your dad said under no circumstances that you and the other kids are to investigate William's passing". Tilly said to Madeline as she tells her what Roland told Sofia.

Madeline looks at Tilly as she gets the orders not to investigate things. "Sure Aunt Tilly", Madeline said to Tilly as she is not in the mood to look into things about the departed ones. "Olivia, do you remember who found Grandmother Josephine when she passed away"? Madeline asks Olivia as she is wondering about it.

Olivia looks at Madeline as it is an interesting question. "It was Cindy and Iris who found grandmother Josephine on that day. Why"? Olivia asks Madeline as she is wondering about the reason for the question.

Madeline looks at them as she is thinking about things. "It made me wonder who found Grandmum and grandfather the first". Madeline said to them as she is wondering who could have it been.

Jennifer looks at Madeline as it is a good question. "It could be an adult in the castle. Plus, there is no doubt that Olivia will get you through this. Plus how long has this dog has been here"? Jennifer asks Madeline as she is wondering about it.

Madeline looks at them as the terrier dog is right by her side as it knows that she is upset. "Thanks, Jennifer", Madeline said to Jennifer as she looks at the dog as it is the same one from before. "Wait are you the same dog that appeared the night before the graduation"? Madeline asks the dog as she is wondering about it.

The dog nods as she looks at Madeline as Olivia and Jennifer are there. "Yes that is correct. My name is Jojo. I am a Magical animal specialist". The dog named Jojo said to Madeline as she formally introduces herself to her.

Madeline looks at Jojo as she smiles as she puts it as she is feeling warm magic within her and Jojo like the two of them are starting to bond. "That is cool". Madeline said to Jojo as the two of them are getting to know each other.

Olivia looks at Jojo as she and Jennifer have been around magical animal specialists before. "They are highly trained to do all sorts of things. Plus they can naturally talk as well, and they are also magical creatures". Jennifer said to them as she knows one.

Olivia nods as she looks at Jennifer as also knows one. "Yeah, Grandfather Enrique also has a magical animal specialist named Sasha. She is very shy of new humans around him". Olivia said to Madeline as she explains more to her.

Madeline nods as she looks at Olivia as the other animals are coming towards her. "Wait is that Della coming over as well"? Madeline asks Jojo as she is wondering about Della.

Jojo nods as she looks at Madeline and she spots the other animals including a very unique cat. "Yes, Della is one of my good friends and here she comes now". Jojo said to Madeline.

Della is coming forward as she has the unique cat, Clover, and the other animal friends. "Jojo, it has been a while". Della said to them that she needs to talk to Jojo.

Jojo nods as she looks at Della as she notices that the other animals are together and there could be a problem. "Yes, it has Della". Jojo said to Della as she is wondering what is going on.

Madeline notices the very unique cat as she has never seen her before at the castle. "Hey there, my dad is allergic to cats. You need to leave the castle". Madeline said to the cat as she is wondering about her.

The unique cat looks at Madeline as she shrugs at her. "My name is Ginger. I am also a magical animal specialist. The first time I saw your dad he didn't sneeze when I was around, and I have been bonding well with Cedric and Princess Amber. We came over to borrow Jojo for important matters". Ginger said to Madeline as she has a round belly.

Madeline looks at the other animals as they nod as there could be a problem. "Ok, I need to make a call to a friend". Madeline said to them that she needs to make the call private.

Olivia looks at Madeline as she nods and understands. "Jennifer and I will be in the playroom, Madeline. Ok", Olivia said to Madeline as she tells her where they will be. Madeline nods and understands about it.

Madeline looks at Olivia and Jennifer as she nods to her. "Ok", Madeline said to them as she waits for them to be out of earshot and sight. She notices the animals talking as She well as they are wondering what is going on. i can't understand theme with my Amulet not Working"

Robin and Mia look at them as they have some news. "This morning during our morning flight, we saw a group of humans meeting in a warehouse away from the dock discussing some sort of plan". Robin said to them as they begin to explain things.

Mia looks at them as she agrees about it. "Yeah they were being led by this married couple and trying to locate the important business and how it has things that could deeply expose the society". Mia said to them as she is deeply confused about it.

Clover looks at Robin and Mia as something about it is very strange. "Well, that is about as cryptic as mud, and Vor was more specific on who she was after". Clover said to the birds as Rex agrees about it.

Ginger looks at the birds as she has a question for them. "Did you see anything on them that is very specific since they are not saying anything specific"? Ginger asks them as she is wondering about that one.

Robin looks at the very unique cat as she thinks about it. "Well, there was wearing a strange pin on their jackets. Other than that no", Robin said to them as she explains it.

Della looks at them as she thinks about it and she puts her paw on her magical collar that Cedric made for her. "Did it look like this any chance"? Della asks Robin and Mia as she is wondering about it.

Robin and Mia look at the symbol as it is exactly the one that they saw. "Yes, that is what the pins look like with that very symbol on them. The group of men and the married couple has an item with that shape. They are planning to head up to the castle looking for the castle infirmary". Robin said to them as they are wondering about it.

Della, Jojo, and Ginger frown as this is not going to be good as they are after someone. Rex looks at them as he is wondering what they should do. "We need to come up with a plan. I mean Sofia and Madeline usually come up with those all of the time with Clover here". Rex said to them as he is wondering about it.

Clover nods as he also agrees with Rex that a plan needs to be made. "I agree with Rex. Plus, the royal family are going to be preoccupied with things to handle with the human group heading this way to the castle". Clover said to them as the animals are wondering about it.

Ginger, Della, and Jojo look at them as a plan that needs to be formulated and put into action. "We will just have to get creative on this and let the humans grieve for the losses". Ginger said to them as she looks at Della and Jojo as they also agree.

Jojo nods as she looks at Robin and Mia as they do need to take some action. "Robin, Mia, get all of the birds in the kingdom and tell them bad people are coming towards the castle and to keep an eye on them from the air". Jojo said to them that they need to get things covered.

Ginger nods as she looks at the squirrel and she explains things. "Whatnot, I want you and Clover to find the creatures around the kingdom and watch those humans from the ground". Ginger said to Whatnot and Clover. Whatnot and Clover nods as they got their orders

Della looks at Rex as she wants things done right. "Rex, you and I were warned the creatures who live at the castle about it. Plus once those humans get too close to the castle, we will bark loud enough to get their attention". Della said to Rex as she comes up with a plan to do just that. Rex nods as they understand the plan as the animals take off.

Madeline looks at the animals as they are on board with the plans as they got going. She gets on her enchantlet to make the call to Chrysta. "Chrysta comes in", Madeline said to Chrysta as she makes the call to her. Chrysta said I am here Madeline what up

Madeline looks at Chrysta. "My grandparents and a man named William also passed away last night. Even though William is not related to us, he was the former castle steward of Enchancia. Plus, by the time we have gotten back from the harbor to tell our parents about the strange people and the note, they were out and about. Plus Sofia and I planned to tell them about it before breakfast, but dad told us to wait a bit later. It is like the timing of things is off". Madeline said to Chrysta as she explains it.

Chrysta looks at Madeline as she sighs to her as they got the news to confirm things. "Don't worry about it Madeline, I will tell Orion about the situation and he will talk to King Roland about the strange ship and letter. You and Sofia focus on your family right now". Chrysta said to Madeline as she tells her that they will take care of it.

Madeline looks at Chrysta as she smiles at her as which is comforting. "Thanks, Chrysta, plus I do believe that the animal helpers are going to keep an eye on things with that strange group of people ", Madeline said to Chrysta as she is Chrysta nods as she looks at Madeline. "Your welcome", Chrysta said to Madeline a the call ends.

...

In the mystic isles, at the isle of protectors, Chrysta sighs as she looks at Orion. "Madeline called. It turns out that it was her grandparents and a man that has a nonfamilial connection to the royal family that has passed away last night". Chrysta said to Orion and Vega as she confirm things with them.

Orion looks at Chrysta as he sighs as things just got pushed back further. "I thought so. When we lined up for the Line of Final Respects, it felt like a punch to the gut. However, I never would have guessed that it is the former royal castle steward that passed away from unnatural causes.

Vega looks at Chrysta as this awful and heartbreaking. "I can not imagine what they are dealing with right now". Vega said to them as she can't imagine it right now.

Orion nods as he agrees with them. "Plus it would explain why one of the spirit carriers had the nonnatural causes shirt when he came to get that man's spirit. I will head down to Enchancia and talk to King Roland about the ship this morning including the letter that girls gotten". Orion said to them as he will go down to Enchancia.

Chrysta looks at Orion as she thanks him. "Thank you Orion, plus Madeline did tell me that the animal helpers collectively decided with the Della, Ginger, and another dog to keep an eye on things". Chrysta said to Orion as she fills him in about it.

Orion looks at Chrysta as he nods as he will keep it in mind. "Understood, I will be back as soon as I can". Orion said to them as he gets going for the Ever Realm. Chrysta and Vega nod as they know that Orion will be a while before he gets back. Orion takes off from the headquarters as he is heading towards Enchancia.

...

Back in Enchancia the Royal Castle, the kids are in the playroom. Back in the castle, the kids are in the playroom as Olivia and Jennifer walk in the room as they talked to Madeline. They see that Amber is crying and upset as Kevin, Parker, Molly, Bridgette, and CJ are comforting her as they join Sofia and James to talk. Sofia looks at Olivia. "Did you two find Madeline and is she alright"? Sofia asks Olivia as she is wondering about things.

Olivia looks at Sofia as she nods to her. "She looks fine and yet a dog was right by her side by the time Elena, Tilly, Jennifer and I found her". Olivia said to Sofia as she explains it.

Miranda Louise looks at Olivia as she sighs in relief. "That's good, you and Jennifer are the right people to talk to Madeline right now". Miranda Louise said to Olivia as she knows that they are the right people for the job.

Sofia looks at Miranda Louise as she agrees with her. "That's great, thanks Olivia", Sofia said to Olivia as things are going up for them.

James nods as he notices that Amber is being comforted by Roland the first's siblings' kids as he has a question. "How did you guys handle the loss of Grandmother Josephine? I mean she had messages for us on that confession orb". James said to them as he is wondering about that one.

Alex looks at James as he nods to him as they remember about that one. "Well, Olivia took it the hardest out of the three of us. Miranda Louise and I were solemn and sad about it, but with Olivia, it was deeper". Alex said to them as he explains it further.

Oliva nods as she looks at them as she remembers about it from 2 years ago. "Yeah, I didn't want to talk to them especially Miranda Louise. We were not friends even though we are related and share a room in the house. It wasn't until Jennifer saw what was going on with me and helped me through it". Olivia said to them as she explains to them about Jennifer.

Amber looks at them as she is reflecting on them. "You know Grandmum did take us and Spencer on one last ride. I guess it was her way of saying bye to each one of us". Amber said to them as she lightly smiles about it.

James looks at Amber as he thinks about things. "Yeah plus she and grandfather the first did have that wedding without us grandkids. Yet Madeline was awake that early because she has gotten uncle Bartleby up". James said to them as he thinks about things.

Amber looks at James as she remembers about that one. "Oh yes, plus do you mean like how Madeline does to you James on school mornings"? Amber asks James as she is wondering about that one.

James looks to Amber like she nailed it on the head on it. "It is exactly like that Amber. I always dread when the first day of school is coming around". James said to Amber as he never looks forward to the first day of school.

Amber looks at James as she shrugs at him as she thought back on things. "Well, it looked like Uncle Bartleby got a taste of Madeline's early wake-up call this time". Amber said to them as she thinks about it.

Sofia nods as she thinks back on it and she sighs as she thinks about it. "Yeah although it is not going to be the same without Grandmum and Grandfather the first", Sofia said to them as she is thinking about the things that they will not be here for.

Amber and James look at Sofia as they nod as it dawns on them about it. "That is the truth Sofia. It won't be the same without them". Amber said to them as she thinks about it.

Miranda Louise looks at them as they all still have one grandparent. "Yeah, but we still have Grandfather Enrique though". Miranda Louise said to them as Alex and Olivia agrees.

James looks at Miranda Louise as he thinks about it and he is wondering about it. "Yeah that is true. Grandfather Enrique is still around. He is really active and really interesting". James said to Miranda Louise and them as he knows about it.

CJ looks at them as he is wondering about it as it is something to consider. "Yeah, but if your grandfather Enrique gets remarried, you guys will get another grandmother again". CJ said to them as Kevin, Parker, Molly, and Bridgette agrees.

Sofia looks at CJ as she thinks about it and she also agrees. "You are right CJ. We will get a new grandmother". Sofia said to them as she is wondering who will be Enrique's special person.

Amber looks at them as she is kind of skeptical about it. "But isn't it too soon for Grandfather Enrique to start dating again? I mean he lost Grandmother Josephine two years ago right"? Amber asks them as she remembers that he lost Grandmother Josephine two years ago.

Miranda Louise looks at Amber as she shakes her head to the blonde princess. "Actually grandfather Enrique and grandmother Josephine has been divorced for a very long time. They never have gotten back together after their split". Miranda Louise said to them as she explain their relationship.

The royal kids are stunned as they never knew about that one. "That is really odd though Miranda Louise. I mean if a parent has been divorced, one of them should have left the house". James said to Miranda Louise as Sofia agrees with him.

Miranda Louise looks at Sofia and James as Olivia and Alex nod as they need to know about it. "Well, there were a lot of irreconcilable differences between grandfather Enrique and grandmother Josephine. When we were growing up, Grandmother Josephine and Grandfather Enrique never had those date nights together. However, the two of them lived separately in the house where the upper level was Josephine's area. One time when I was 8, Olivia, Alex, and I always noticed how they never had a date night just for the two of them. We tried to set up a little date night in the dining room just for the two of them. When we presented that to them as a big surprise, Grandfather Enrique and Grandmother Josephine looked at each other and me, Olivia, and Alex and it was awkward. Our parents were surprised that we did that for our grandparents. They sat us down and explained to them that our grandparents were no longer in love or still married to each other. They said that the reasons are for grownups and well explain it to us when we are older to fully understand". Miranda Louise said to them as she is wondering about it...

Sofia looks at them as she is very skeptical about it. "Why did they live together for so long when they are no longer married. It is a huge waste of time". Sofia asks them as it does not make a lot of sense.

Alex looks at Sofia as he shrugs at her as it is very strange. "That is what we wanted to know back then. Our parents said that their marriage was an arranged marriage deeply set up by Grandmother Josephine's parents. It was so strict that neither Grandmother Josephine nor Grandfather Enrique could move out. They still have to live together until one of them passes away". Alex said to them as he explains about that one.

Amber is stunned as she hears that one correctly as she is does not realize that one. "An arrange marriage that strict when I become queen, I will be working on changing those laws. A person can not live an ex-spouse". Amber said to them as she plans to ask Enrique about it.

The kids look at Amber as they can agree with it. James looks at Jennifer as he is wondering about her and her family. "What about you Jennifer? Are your grandparents still around"? James asks Jennifer as she is wondering about it.

Jennifer looks at them as the subject has been changed towards her. "Yeah, when I was growing up, it is just me, my dad, and my grandfather. When I asked about my mom and grandmother and why they were not there. They sat me down about it as well as they always have a way to explain to me in a kid-friendly way. My grandfather and my grandmother got divorced as well a very long time ago long before any of us were even born. They were first loving, but they have fallen out of love with each other. They thought by having a baby would save their marriage, but it didn't work. The baby turns out to be my dad's only sister. However, but that push to get divorced when my uncle died when he was a teenager in an awful event. They explained to me that sometimes marriage will not survive after a passing of a child. My grandparents stayed active in my dad's and my aunt's lives over the years, but they stayed friends for a very long time. They co-parented my dad and his sister well together". Jennifer said to them as she explains to them about her grandparents.

Amber looks at Jennifer as she is impressed with them. "Co-parenting a child, that is idyllic and sweet of them". Amber said to Jennifer as she wants to look into that as law as well.

James nods in agreement as he looks at Jennifer as it is something to look into. "Yeah but what about your mom though? You have not gotten into about her". James asks Jennifer as he is wondering about her.

Jennifer looks at them as she does need to explain about her. "My mom is my birth mother. My dad never got married to her, but he adopted me when I was a newborn baby. My birth mother passed away when I was born". Jennifer said to them as she explains it.

Sofia is stunned as she does not realize that one and it is likely that Madeline does not know about it. "So you never knew your mom. I can not imagine not having a mom around for my entire life". Sofia said to Jennifer as she is starting to realize that there is different kind of families out there.

Jennifer looks at Sofia as she shakes her head to her. "No, all I have about my birth mother are stories about her from my dad and her sister, my auntie. She is cool and sweet. However, the last time I saw her was 6 months ago and her parents came to collect her. However, things about my dad's sister and my birth mom's side of the family are very complicated". Jennifer said to them that it is not easy to explain it.

Amber looks at Jennifer as she does feel bad for her and she is wondering more about it. "Oh wow, I am so sorry about that". Amber said to Jennifer as she is wondering what could have happened six months ago.

Jennifer looks at Amber as she nods and she explains it a bit more. "It is ok. My dad said that my auntie is the only one from her family that has ties with us. Plus with my dad's sister, told me that she was a brave woman and made the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good. She even placed my cousin for adoption for safety and protection. However, my grandfather told me that my grandmother is a loving and classy woman, but she is trapped somewhere. He and my dad forbade me to get involved because it is an adult matter". Jennifer said to them as she explains it to them about it.

Sofia looks at Jennifer as she is wondering about it. "Oh wow, I had no idea about that one Jennifer. It sounds like your dad's sister was amazing. Plus, your auntie must be a great person to be the only one that has ties with you and your family". Sofia said to Jennifer as she is wondering about that one. She turns as she notices that Olivia is getting concerned about things. "Is something wrong Olivia"? Sofia asks Olivia as she is wondering what is the matter.

Olivia nods as she looks at them as something is off. "It is Madeline. What is taking Madeline so long to get back"? Olivia said to them as she raises another cause of concern about things.

This gets everyone's attention as a great concern about Madeline. "You are right Olivia. Madeline should have been back by now". James said to Olivia as he is wondering what could have happened.

CJ nods as he agrees with James as something could be wrong. "Yeah even though we just met you guys and discovered that we are cousins, it is not like Red to not come back in here in a prompt timing". CJ said to them as he had already given Madeline a nickname.

The other kids look at CJ as they are kind of confused about him. They see that CJ has a unique way to talk. "Umm Red", Sofia said to CJ as she is wondering about that one.

Kevin looks at Sofia as he explains things to them for them to understand. "CJ likes coming up with a nickname". Kevin said to Sofia as the others can see that making sense.

Parker nods as he, Molly, and Bridgette know all too well. "Yeah what were the last things that you and Jennifer talked to Madeline about when you were with her"? Parker asks them as he is the oldest one out of their group.

Olivia looks at them as she thinks back on things. "We talked about the people who discovered found grandmother Josephine when she died, and Madeline was wondering who found Ms. Kimberly and Mr. Roland the first". Olivia said to them as she explains the first part to them.

Jennifer nods as she looks at them and she reflects on it. "Yeah I told her it could have been any of the adults. She even told us that she needed to make a call to a friend". Jennifer said to them as she explains the last thing that Madeline said to them before she and Olivia went back inside.

The kids look at each other as Amber is thinking about it as she is thinking about the party last night. "The adults, they have been acting kind of weird ever since yesterday afternoon especially before the ball got started". Amber said to them as she is thinking about it.

The other kids look at Amber as this is new to them and they are not aware of it. "What do you mean by that Amber"? Bridgette asks Amber as she is wondering what she could mean.

Amber looks at them as Sofia is also curious about that one. "When Sofia, Madeline l, and James got back, Violet had us play in the garden and not come inside yet. At first, it was to make sure that the presents for Madeline were there in the ballroom and everything looked pretty. However, when we were allowed to get back, mom, Dad, Cedric, and Elena look like they were troubled about something like they were trying to find Grace and asked us if we saw her leaving the castle through the garden. When we told them no, it left them puzzled. Mom told me to get the dress that I made to give to Madeline". Amber said to them as she is thinking about it.

James nods as he thinks about it as something could be wrong. "You know come to think of it, I noticed Grandmum getting concerned about Spencer when she never came back to the castle for the party. Plus we have not seen Spencer at all this all morning". James said to them as he is wondering about Spencer.

Molly looks at them as this is concerning as she is wondering about something. "You don't think Spencer was the one that found your grandparents this morning"? Molly asks them as it is a real possibility.

Sofia looks at them as she nods and she gets up to get moving. "There is one way to find out. Come on let us go". Sofia said to them as they all agree about it.

The kids leave the playroom as they playroom as they went to Spencer's room that she shares with Kimberly. They look around the room. They open the door to the closet as there are some maid's dresses. They notice a dirty clothes basket as they discover a dirty maids dress and a torn, scuffed, and dirty ball gown. "That's Spencer's ball gown, but why is it torn like that"? Amber asks them as she is wondering about it.

James looks at Amber as he looks at the maid dress as he sees a clue about it. "Yeah this dress has all sorts of colors and from the look of things, it is frosting". James said to them as he is thinking about things. "However, the cupcakes from the party were purple and brown not yellow, red, blue, green, white, and the official royal colors of Enchancia". James said to them as he notices it.

Sofia looks at them as she nods as she forgot to tell Spencer about it. "Oh yeah, I changed the colors of the frostings of the cupcakes. I only told Spencer about the brown color yesterday when she was taking care of Chloe". Sofia said to them as she thinks about it.

Jennifer looks at Sofia as she is stunned about it. "Chloe, you mean my auntie Chloe. How did she end up here"? Jennifer asks Sofia as she is wondering how it happened.

Sofia looks at Jennifer as she is stunned as she did not know this about Chloe. "Wait a minute, Chloe is like a teenager. How can you and Chloe be niece and aunt"? Sofia asks Jennifer as she asks the tougher questions on her.

Jennifer frowns as she gives Sofia a harsh glare towards her. "My birth mother's parents married when they were very young and had my mom and waited a very long time and they had my auntie Chloe you do the math". Jennifer said to Sofia as she explains that logic.

Sofia looks at Jennifer as she realizes things as things are starting to make sense. "Oh, that would make sense". Sofia said to them as she is wondering more about Chloe's parents.

Baileywick walks in on them as he notices them and he looks at the ball gown and the dress from yesterday. "Oh dear, this maid dress needs to be deeply clean from what happened with the cupcake incident yesterday at the bakery". Baileywick said to them as he notices the other dress. "Plus this dress is in bad condition and torn up. It is not like Spencer intentionally tore up the dress. Not only that, it got scuffed up and dirty like she must have fallen outside somewhere. Plus what are you children doing in here"? Baileywick said to them as he is wondering about things.

James looks at Baileywick as they have been caught and they are wondering about things. "Well, we were wondering what happened yesterday, especially that afternoon. Plus do you know who found grandmum and grandfather the first this morning"? James said to Baileywick as they wanted some answers about it.

Baileywick looks at them as he needs to explain about that one. "Well, there is something that happened yesterday afternoon. I was already back at the castle. I had gotten the remade cupcakes back to the kitchen and headed back downstairs from Cedric's workshop to get the Joaquin-shaped platter to get fixed. I was nearly at the bottom when I felt kind of strange and tripped. The only lucky thing is that the platter didn't break again. William and Roland found me and insisted that I get some rest. I gave the platter to him and told him that the instructions for the cupcake layout are in the kitchen. I told him that I wanted to make things right for Spencer after the accidental intentional sabotage took place at the bakery by following the exact flavors and colors of the frosting and design of the cupcake. I have to hand the credit to Spencer for going much deeper into detail that matched Madeline specifically. However, Sofia talked me into changing the colors of the frosting completely to avoid the huge complicated work". Baileywick said to the kids as he felt that the hard work got taken away from Spencer.

Amber looks at Sofia as the princess is stunned by what he said about it. "That is odd Baileywick. Plus why did you not consult with Spencer to do that Sofia"? Amber asks Sofia as the other kids look at Sofia as they realized that she has done something wrong towards Spencer.

Sofia looks at them as she is stunned that Baileywick outed her and she thinks about it. "Well, Spencer didn't want to talk to me after she has gotten upset from the fact that the cupcakes gotten ruined. I made some decisions without her". Sofia said to them as she defends her actions about it.

Amber looks at Sofia as she is stunned by that one. "You what, you should have apologized to Spencer about what happened Sofia". Amber said to Sofia as the other kids are stunned to learn that she never apologized to Spencer about it.

Sofia is stunned as she looks at them and she is kind of dismayed about it. "I apologized to Spencer, she is the one that confronted me for upsetting and scaring Chloe yesterday". Sofia said to them as she is dismayed about things.

Jennifer looks at Sofia as she learns that Chloe is scared and upset as she does not fully know what happened. Olivia frowns as she notices that Jennifer is getting mad at her. "Sofia, you should tell us what happened at the bakery yesterday because Chloe means a lot to Jennifer right now". Olivia said to Sofia as the other kids are agreeing with her.

Sofia looks at them as she is stunned by this. "Oh alright, come to think of it, the owner did tell me, Baileywick, and Spencer that a kid tried to switch the order with a completely different order, but the kid failed to do that. Then that woman came in and intentionally shoved Spencer to the floor causing the first cupcakes to be completely ruined along the platter getting broken for the first time. I think that that kid and the woman intentionally wanted to ruin the cupcakes from the bakery all along and made sure that Spencer didn't bring them back to the castle. However, they didn't catch it when Baileywick brought more ingredients and help to redo them". Sofia said to them as she reveals about that one.

CJ frowns as this is starting to make sense about things. "A kid huh, Kevin, do you think it was that twisted boy that caused trouble before at the park"? CJ asks Kevin as the other kids are stunned by a new nickname.

Kevin looks at CJ as he nods in agreement about that revelation. "It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't that kid CJ". Kevin said to them as he is wondering about something else.

James looks at them as he is thinking about things as he remembers about the nickname. "Twisted boy, do you mean Prince George"? James asks them as they realize that George was in the kingdom but not for the party.

CJ nods as he looks at James as he nods as that is correct. "Nailed on the head correct", CJ said to them as they realize that he was there yesterday.

Sofia looks at James as she is wondering about it. "I am not sure James. Like Kevin said it would not surprise him if it wasn't". Sofia said to James. She turns to Baileywick. "Baileywick, do you know where Spencer is right now? Plus was Spencer the one that found Grandamum and grandfather the first"? Sofia asks Baileywick as she is wondering about it as she is asking the tough questions again.

Baileywick looks at the kids as he faces palms himself as he should have known that Spencer will do this. "Yes it was Spencer that found them Princess Sofia. I need to let your mother about this". Baileywick said to the kids as he has the two dresses in his hands as he needs to get moving.

The kids are stunned as they learn about that one as Amber is starting to cry again. "No wonder you asked for our parents and grandfather the first's siblings". James said to Baileywick as they realize that Sofia had gotten the truth out of him in front of the others like that.

Baileywick looks at James as he nods as Sofia is already taking off and getting going. "Yes, if you excuse me, I need to notify Queen Miranda about this right away". Baileywick said to them as he leaves the room. He hands the maid dress to another maid to get it deep cleaned and handed the ball gown to Madam colellte to repair.

Baileywick nods as he looks at Sofia and he gives the dress to get it clean and repaired. He spots queen Miranda as she and the other ladies are making thank you cards for the flowers that have been arriving. "Queen Miranda, Baileywick said to Miranda as he is getting her attention.

Miranda looks at Baileywick as she notices that something could be wrong. "Baileywick, what's wrong? You look worried about something". Miranda said to Baileywick as she is wondering about things.

Baileywick looks at Miranda as he needs to tell her about Spencer. "Spencer is probably at Kimberly's house doing the final duties". Baileywick said to Miranda as he figured things out about it.

Miranda looks at Baileywick as she is stunned and she realizes that Spencer did leave underneath their noses this whole time. "I should have known that Spencer will take off like this today. Go get Chef Chris and Melanie. I will get the other ladies and get into a carriage". Miranda said to them as they gather the group of them.

Baileywick nods as they jump into action as he went to get Chef Chris and Melanie. The ladies including Sofia went outside as they spot Elena and Migs nearby. Sofia frowns as she sees Madeline already flying away like she has gotten a head start on them. "Mom is that Madeline flying away"? Sofia asks Miranda as she is wondering about it.

Miranda looks at Sofia as she sees Madeline is riding Minimis in the air. "Yes it is Sofia. I want you to catch up with her while I get the other ladies to come with me to Kimberly's house". Miranda said to Sofia as she knows that it will be a bit until a carriage is pulled around to be loaded up and two drivers are found to take them.

Sofia looks at Miranda as she understands the orders. "Sure mom", Sofia said to Miranda as she turns to Elena as she needs to get to Madeline. "Elena, may I ride Migs to head towards Kimberly's house. Madeline took Minimus towards Kimberly's house". Sofia said to Elena as she explains the situation to her.

Elena nods as she looks at Sofia as this is concerning as she volunteers to come. "I am coming with you Sofia". Elena said to Sofia as she is volunteering to go.

Sofia looks at Elena as she nods as she turns back to Miranda she thanks, Elena. "Mom, we have to hurry. Madeline is far ahead of us". Sofia said to Miranda as she realizes that Madeline will be there for some time before their rides come.

Miranda nods as she understands as she looks at Sofia as they do need to get going... "Right, of course, you go on ahead". Miranda said to them as she lets them go on ahead.

Sofia looks at Miranda as she nods to her. "Thanks, mom", Sofia said to Miranda as she and Elena gets on Migs as they fly away to Kimberly's house.

About ten minutes later, Miranda's group is ready to go as they get into a carriage to get moving. It is not long that Tracey, Rosa, Rebecca, Tilly, Baileywick, Chris, and Melanie comes as they get into the carriage as they get going.

Baileywick looks at them as he is thinking about things. "I should have known that Spencer would be at Kimberly's house". Baileywick said to them as he didn't pay attention to things this morning.

Miranda looks at Baileywick as she nods to him as today has been a hard day for all of them. "It is not your fault Baileywick. We should have realized that Spencer was told to do the final duty at Kimberly's house on the day of her passing". Miranda said to Baileywick as the adults nod in agreement as they are on the way to Kimberly's house.

...

At Kimberly's house, Spencer is working hard once more as she is kind of tired and hurt from what happened yesterday. She has been crying alone as well. However, she has no idea that she is about to get some visitors that are coming towards her. As she hears the doorbell, Spencer sighs as she went to the door and it is Madeline. "Madeline, what are you doing here"? Spencer asks Madeline as she lets her in as they went to the grand dining room together.

Madeline looks at Spencer as she notices the hard work and effort to get the grand dining room finished and set up for the first meal tomorrow. "I came by to talk to you alone Spencer, and did you do all of that yourself"? Madeline asks Spencer as she notices the layout of the table. It has a black tablecloth with a red, white, and gold table runner in the middle. It does not have centerpieces on the long table just yet.

Spencer looks at Madeline as she nods to her as it is something that she came up with. "Yes, that is correct Madeline. I am going to find suitable centerpieces from the flowers that are probably coming to the castle right now from the various people sending their condolences when I get back to the castle". Spencer said to Madeline as she is explaining about it to her.

Madeline is stunned as she didn't know that as she can see the effort and detail of things. "Wow, but Spencer, you are doing too much right now. You need to take it easy and talk between us", Madeline said to Spencer as she is wondering how she could do all of this.

Spencer looks at Madeline as she shakes her head to her. "I am working to distract myself from the fact that Kimberly and Roland the first are no longer with us, Madeline. My heart is broken for them yes. It just it is going to be a long week for all of us". Spencer said to Madeline as she explains it.

Madeline looks at Spencer as she nods as she can understand why she is doing so much work right now. "I guess I can understand about that Spencer. However, you probably didn't know that William also passed away right". Madeline said to Spencer as she is wondering if she knew anything about it.

Spencer looks at Madeline as she does not know about him. "No, I don't think I even met him at all Madeline. It is a deeply sad day for all of Enchancia". Spencer said to Madeline as she gets back to work on things. Madeline is stunned as she didn't know about it. Unbeknownst to them that two more people are about to arrive.

Up in the air, Sofia and Elena spots Minimus at the front lawn at Kimberly's house as they land. "Madeline must be already inside Sofia". Elena said to Sofia as she is wondering why Madeline got going before them.

Sofia nods as she looks at Elena as they are on the ground at Kimberly's house. "Good, we better find out about things". Sofia said to Elena as she is wondering about things as she is ready to confront Spencer about things.

Sofia heads up the steps and rings the doorbell as she is expecting Spencer to answer it. However, it is not long that Madeline answers the door as she is stunned to see Sofia and Elena that is at the door. Sofia, what are you and Elena doing here"? Madeline asks them as she has not asked Spencer the tougher questions yet.

Sofia looks at Madeline as she gives her a look. "Madeline, you have about 20 minutes to head back to the castle before mom gets here. Plus I need to ask Spencer tough questions". Sofia said to Madeline as she went into the house as Elena is stunned by Sofia's words.

Madeline looks at Sofia as she is stunned by this as shakes her head to her. "No Sofia, this is not a good time right now to confront Spencer. Plus Spencer and I were getting started with a nice conversation". Madeline said to Sofia as her elder sister is going around her.

Elena is wondering what has gotten into Sofia as she senses that she is not spelled or anything like that. They are heading towards the grand dining room. "A nice conversation", Sofia said to Madeline like she is dismayed about it.

Madeline looks at Sofia as they make it back to the dining room where Spencer just placed a stack of plates on the table that she washed and dried yesterday. "Yes a nice conversation Sofia", Madeline said to Sofia as they look at Spencer.

Spencer frowns as she notices Sofia and Elena's arrival as she does not need this right now. "Sofia, what are you doing here"? Spencer asks Sofia as she is wondering about Elena's presence.

Sofia looks at Spencer as she wants answers about things and a confrontation. "We were trying to find Madeline, and you are here all along like you sneaked away from the castle without telling anyone". Sofia said to Spencer as is about to get started with the confrontation.

Spencer frowns as she looks at Sofia as she shakes her head to her as she is getting mad. "Excuse me, I was doing my final duties like Kimberly instructed me to before she passed away". Spencer said to Sofia as she looks at Madeline and Elena. "Madeline, I take it that this is not your idea to bring them along". Spencer said to Madeline as she is wondering about things. She also senses that Elena was not manipulated into coming along but more like volunteered into going.

Madeline looks at Spencer as she shakes her head to her as she is getting mad that Sofia came along anyways. "Nope, it seems that Sofia is butting her nose into this. Elena, I am sorry if Sofia begged you into coming along". Madeline said to Sofia and Elena as she can tell about things as well.

Elena looks at Madeline as she realizes what the girl thought happened. "Madeline, I volunteered to come along. There was not any begging involved". Elena said to them as she is telling the truth to them.

Sofia looks at Elena as she looks to Spencer as she wants answers. "Butting my nose into it, Madeline, Spencer was the one that found Grandamum and grandfather the first this morning while we were at the dining room table at the castle. Am I right Spencer"? Sofia asks Spencer as she is confronting her about it.

Madeline is stunned as she looks at Spencer as she is starting to cry again. Spencer looks at Sofia as this is not how she wanted to do things today. "Yes, I was the one that discovered them this morning. I got Baileywick to bring the right adults to their room. Are you satisfied now"? Spencer asks Sofia as she is mad that this happened.

Madeline looks at Spencer as she is crying as she went towards her. "I want Grandamum and grandfather the first to come back". Madeline said to Spencer as she is crying and starting to punch Spencer.

Sofia and Elena are stunned by this as they look at the woman and Madeline. "Madeline stop hitting Spencer right now. Spencer, are you going to defend yourself against Madeline for hitting you"? Sofia asks Spencer as she knows that Spencer is like a knight with fighting skills.

Spencer looks at Sofia as she glares at her as this is not what she needs to do. "Not Sofia, Madeline just let all out ok", Spencer said to Madeline as she lets her hit her while she is crying.

Sofia is stunned and dismayed about it as Elena is kind of confused about it. "What but why? Madeline should not be hitting anyone under any circumstances"? Sofia asks Spencer as she is wondering about it. she still Hadn't Learn not to Hit she been hitting since the age of 3 year old and Mom still haven't done anything about it

Spencer glares at Sofia as the girl does not know the first thing about empathy. "Madeline is letting out her emotions right now in a healthy manner. Since she does not have a pillow in here to punch, I am being that pillow for her right now. Madeline's sadness, sorrow, and devastation are vast and deep. Plus, it is very much real. Plus fighting back against someone who is deeply upset is the wrong way to do it. If I physically hit someone when they are down physically or emotionally, it will make me a bad person for doing that. There are right and wrong ways to handle a situation, and what you are suggesting is the wrong way to do it". Spencer said to Sofia as she figured it out very easily.

Sofia is stunned by this as she has never heard of that concept before. She is going up to Spencer to pull Madeline off of Spencer. Elena looks at Spencer in a new light as she stops Sofia from going up to them. "Sofia stop", Elena said to Sofia as she is wondering how she can get that kind of help with her issues.

It is not long that Madeline stops hitting Spencer as she stops crying as well. Sofia is stunned as Spencer was able to figure it out so easily. "Thanks, Spencer, you truly know how I feel right now". Madeline said to Spencer as she lightly smiles at her.

Spencer looks as she looks at the three of them as she is feeling tired. "Good, now I want to ask you three to wait in the living room for Miranda to arrive". Spencer said to them that she wants them to wait in the living room as she wants them to do that.

Madeline looks at Spencer as she understands as she looks at Sofia. "Thanks a lot, Sofia", Madeline said to Sofia as she went to the living room as she is mad. Sofia is stunned as she and Elena go to the living room.

It is not long that Miranda and the other adults arrive as they are stunned to see the three of them in the living room. "Girls, Elena, where is Spencer at"? Miranda asks them as she is wondering about her.

Madeline looks at Miranda as she explains it. "Spencer is in the grand dining room". Madeline said to Miranda as she tells her where she is. Miranda nods as she thanks her. Sofia looks at Miranda as she is wondering about things. "Mom, can you talk to her about changing the tablecloth that is on the table? It will not look right especially when Baileywick sees it". Sofia said to Miranda as she does not like how Spencer picked things". Sofia said to Miranda as she is wondering about it.

Miranda looks at the two girls as she is wondering about things as the others are sitting with them. "Spencer, there you are. I had a feeling that you would be here right now". Miranda said to Spencer as she is glad to see her.

Spencer looks at Miranda as she sighs to her as it is what happened. "Yes well, I was working when Madeline came first alone, and then Sofia and Elena came. Madeline wanted to talk to me alone but Sofia butted in. I decided to have the three of them wait in the living room for you to arrive". Spencer said to Miranda as she explains what happened.

Miranda looks at Spencer as she sighs as she notices that the table already has the table cloth and it looks very beautiful and nice. "Spencer please come and sit down in the living room with us. Baileywick brought a few of your friends to help you they are waiting in the living room. Plus in fact, they been wondering where you had run off too"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is wondering what she was thinking.

Spencer looks at Miranda as she nods as they went to the living room as she sees Chef Chris and Melanie and they are stunned to see her. "I was doing the final duties as Kimberly told me to do. I have the will and the letters in my bag to be turned over to Baileywick. Besides, I wanted to make sure that I see the final duties go through without any kind of manipulation involved". Spencer said to Miranda as she went to sit in a chair that she is not happy with a particular person in the room.

Melanie looks at Spencer as she has to be the one to tell her about the additional family. " Um Spencer, I hate to bring bad news to you we will need more new chairs, plates, and cups. Plus, we have more family coming, but what happened to you though"? Melanie asks Spencer as she is wondering about that one.

Spencer looks at Melanie as she got up and she tries to walk. "More family coming, was there some sort of staff memo that I didn't get or something"? Spencer asks Melanie as she is being sarcastic about things.

Melanie is stunned as she has not been filled in about things. "Wait did anyone tell you Spencer? Roland's the first side of the family are at the castle". Melanie said to Spencer as she is wondering how that could have been missed.

Spencer looks at Melanie as she shakes her head to her. "Well no yesterday, ever since Kimberly learned that Madeline is going to graduate, she came to me for some ideas to make Madeline's ball special and asked me to come up with something that Madeline will like that can be enjoyed by everyone. She wanted everyone to be surprised like Madeline is going to be. I thought of doing cupcakes. I talked to Kimberly about the favors and colors of the frosting and each one matched to Madeline specifically and placed that order two weeks ago. She fully approved of the flavors and colors. Plus yesterday, I had a special to-do list involving those cupcakes and getting the grand dining room deeply clean from getting the needed cups, plates, silverware, and table cloths clean". Spencer said to Melanie as she explains things to everyone in the room.

Everyone is stunned as they heard that one correctly as Sofia did not realize that one. "What, there were only vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and the colors were just purple and brown. However, the platter was really pretty". Madeline said to Spencer as she realizes that she was not filled in about what happened at the bakery.

Melanie is stunned as she looks at Spencer and she faces palms herself. "Spencer, you did all of that by yourself didn't you. Plus that is too much. You should not be walking right now. Please sit and rest before you fall. Chris and I will take care of things". Melanie said to Spencer as she realize things as she needs to be filled in about it. "Chris please bring some tea for everyone". Melanie said to Chris that she needs to get the thing done. Chris nods as he gets to work in the kitchen to get some tea made.

Chris returns with some tea for everyone as he went back to the kitchen to work. Then it hits Melanie as she remembers about yesterday. "I was supposed to come with you yesterday afternoon to the house. However Grace told me that you were busy doing other things". Melanie said to Spencer as she thinks about it.

Spencer nods as she looks at Melanie as she remembers about yesterday. "That is funny because when I was looking for you and Violet, Grace told me that the both of you were working in the ball room yesterday. Plus when I finally got back to the castle late last night and asked grace about it, she told me that she didn't know what I was talking about". Spencer said to Melanie as she realizes that something stinks about this.

Melanie looks at Spencer as she nods as she needs to tell her about things. "Spencer, I didn't want to tell you in front of Chloe, but there was two Grace' around the castle yesterday". Melanie said to Spencer as the two kids are there.

Spencer looks at Melanie as she is not aware about this. "Two Grace, that would explain why one them told me one thing while the other didn't even know what I was talking about". Spencer said to Melanie as she is wondering about it.

Sofia looks at them as she is wondering about it. "So wait a minute, you intentionally missed Madeline's ball yesterday because you were doing too many things yesterday". Sofia said to Spencer as she is wondering about it.

Madeline turns as she looks at Spencer as she learns that she did miss her ball. "I was wondering why you didn't came to the ball last night". Madeline said to Spencer as she is wondering about it.

Spencer looks at Sofia and Madeline as she is mad at Sofia still. "I did not want to miss Madeline's ball Sofia even if I wanted to. Besides, if I shown up with a torn and scuffed up ball gown. Plus, the last thing that Madeline needed was Kimberly fussing over me about my dress. I did not tore up or scuffed it up intentionally. Yet even though you told me that you changed one of the colors on the cupcakes, you did not even consult with me on any of it. . Spencer said to Sofia as she is mad at her.

Sofia looks at Spencer as the cupcake issue is back on the top subject on things. "Well, even though you didn't want to talk to me, I had them all changed, and gotten Mr. Cedric to fix the platter good as new". Sofia said to Spencer as she thinks what she did was best.

Spencer frowns as she learns that most of them were changed. "You what, I would have talked to you if you truly apologized to me for your accidental part at the bakery which I never got. I had clear instructions and left the blue prints of the layout of the cupcakes that I left behind at the bakery. Each of the colors that I picked for each flavor cupcake had meaning towards Madeline specifically. Yellow was to match Madeline's amulet, the school colors is to match the school that she graduated from, the Enchancia kingdom to represents where she lives, and light purple was to match Minimums because it was the horse that she ride on regardless if you were riding with her or not". Spencer said to Sofia as she is getting upset as she is crying.

Baileywick looks at Spencer as he sighs to her as he needs to come clean. "Spencer, I am sorry. I wanted to make things right by following your exact instructions and layout according to the blueprints. Sofia told me that what you worked on so hard on is far too complicated and I reliantly agreed with Sofia". Baileywick said to Spencer as he apologizes about it.

Spencer looks at Baileywick as she is betrayed by him again. She gives Sofia a look as she is upset and crying. Madeline looks at Sofia as she is not pleased with her right now. "How could you Sofia? It is a wonder that I don't trust you still". Madeline said to Sofia as she is making things really clear that she does not trust Sofia still. She is comforting Spencer right now as the other adults are wondering about things.

Miranda looks at Elena as she sighs as she has a lot of things on her mind. "Elena, will you take Spencer back to the castle on Migs to the castle infirmary. Madeline, I want you to go back to the castle on Minimums and take Sofia back to the castle. I want the both of you to stay there as well". Miranda said to them as she is wondering what she should do about thing.

Elena looks at Miranda as she agrees with it as the two of them are standing up. The Latina princess is supporting Spencer. Madeline looks at Miranda as she sighs as she has to take Sofia back to the castle. "Alright mom, but I am riding up front". Madeline said to them as she leaves the house. Sofia sighs as she leaves the house as well. The four of them are heading back to the castle. Miranda sighs as she is wondering what she is going to do about the both of them.

...

Meanwhile back at the castle, Roland is at the royal cemetery as he is over sees the graves for his parents as Enrique joins him while the other adults are with the kids inside. ", Sofia and Madeline are back in the castle. Plus Elena is at the castle infirmary to bring Spencer in for a checkup. Apparently she has done too much from yesterday and injured some how. Apparently from what I have heard from Elena is that Sofia and Madeline did confront Spencer about things. However, it was Sofia that made Spencer upset and made her cry". Enrique said to Roland as he fills him in about things.

Roland sighs as he looks at Enrique as he thanks him about the update. "I see and thank you Enrique. Plus, I feel so numb about the passing's of my parents and yet I have been through this once before with my first wife. Even though she was not my first love, I did care about her and stay committed in the marriage and learn to love her". Roland said to Enrique as he is reflecting on things.

Enrique looks at Roland as he nods as he is thinking about his ex-wife's first love. "I know what you mean Roland. I did have a crush on a girl when I was a teenager, but my parents didn't want me to pine over her when she was dating someone else, so they put me into that arranged marriage with Josephine. In hindsight, I should have realized that Josephine and I were not right for each other even when we had kids and they were growing up. Learning to love someone is not easy when there was that someone else that they truly loved but forbidden to be with because of views of the parents". Enrique said to Roland as he is thinking about things.

Roland nods as he looks at Enrique as he is wondering about things. "It is something in hindsight Enrique. Plus I have a feeling that William is finally reunited with Josephine after all these years despite the circumstances of William's passing". Roland said to Enrique as he feels the wind breeze around him like Josephine is answering him.

Enrique looks at Roland as he nods in agreement with him as he feels the wind as well. "Yes, I am deeply in love with Agatha now. It is like she is that long awaited partner I didn't know that would be there. Yet her strength and courage is more beautiful than a thousand suns. Yet, at the same time, I have gotten to know her from the Grand Magical Council and background". Enrique said to Roland as he admits to him that he is a man in love and ready to date Agatha.

Roland looks at Enrique as he is wondering about something about Miranda as he older man mentioned about background. However, his thoughts are about William's passing and what happened yesterday. "The events that happened yesterday, do you find it very suspicious about things" Roland said to Enrique as he is wondering about things.

Enrique looks at Roland as he gives him an obvious expression on his face. "Roland, son, what kind of magical investigator would I be if I didn't notice that something was very suspicious going on yesterday. Observation is always the first thing to do when investigating something, and it is a silent sport. You have to see and notice the behaviors of the people around you no matter where you are. If there is an unusual behavior for a person that you know, do not act on it just yet unless the behavior continues". Enrique said to Roland as he gives him a lesson on things.

Roland looks at Enrique as he nods as he needs to start doing that. "Ok, so during the strange spell, when Madeline was under that spell, what did you notice that me and the other adults minus Cedric missed"? Roland asks Enrique as he is wondering about it.

Enrique looks at Roland as he thinks back on things. "Well, naturally, Madeline was still upset and in a bad mood when the graduation fiasco took place. Plus she was angry with Sofia when she unintentionally embarrassed and humiliated her even further by mentioning her in the speech. However, unnaturally, I did notice that a strange voice would start to come out in the mix with Madeline's voice. It started out small almost very faintly, but as days went by that voice gotten louder and louder with each time when one of the kids gotten Madeline upset by one kid in particularly". Enrique said to Roland as he gives him his observations and notes.

Roland looks at Enrique as he thinks back on things. "You must mean Sofia being that one person making Madeline upset the most". Roland said to Enrique as he realizes that it was Sofia that made Madeline upset.

Enrique nods as he looks at Roland. "Precisely, by the time James threw that cold water on Madeline in the throne room, I realized that a spell is highly probable the cause of things. However, I didn't have much proof on things and plus the clues has been dried up like someone else has been working on what was going on this whole time". Enrique said to Roland as he explains about it.

Roland looks at Enrique as he sighs as he realizes about things. "You must mean Cedric. He was the only one that figured it out". Roland said to Enrique as he face palms as he should have caught it sooner.

Enrique looks at Roland as he nods to him as he is starting to see the light. "Oh yes, Cedric really deserves the credit when it is due Roland". Enrique said to Roland as he is thinking about other thing.

Roland looks at Enrique as he nods as he thinks about the passing. "With yesterday, what did you observe yesterday until all of us adults were trying to find the two Grace"? Roland ask Enrique as he is wondering if he observed anything unusual.

Enrique looks at Roland as he needs to explain it. "I notice all sorts of maids and servants walking the halls doing the chores. However, every now and then I noticed that a maid looked like she was seeing double or seeing things. Yet I have heard whispers about seeing one Grace downstairs when there is another grace upstairs. The first thing that people would assume if Grace has a twin sister or not", Enrique said to Roland as he explains things to him.

Roland looks at Enrique as he is getting the feeling about things. "They would think that they were seeing things or question on whether Grace has a twin sister or not". Roland said to Enrique as he realizes about things. "That second Grace was an imposter as someone else and none of the kids even saw her at all". Roland said to Enrique as he face palms his head again.

Enrique nods as he looks at Roland. "Yes I suspect as much. Yet, she was only there at the castle for one day". Enrique said to Roland as they all tried to find her with no luck.

Roland looks at Enrique as he is stunned and hearing that one correctly. "That is true Enrique. Is there anything I should look out for in Madeline and Amber? I know that Sofia and James will be fine". Roland said to Enrique as he is wondering about the two girls.

Enrique looks at Roland as he nods as it is really common. "Well, the main thing is them not eating at meal time. Madeline is very sneaky child". Enrique said to Roland as he gives him things to look out for.

Roland nods as he looks at Enrique as that is definitely true. "That's the truth Enrique", Roland said to Enrique as the two of them are heading back to the castle. As they are on the way, Roland spots Orion arriving as this is unexpected visit. "Orion, what brings you to Enchancia? You normally call Sofia or Madeline when you are coming". Roland said to Orion as he is wondering about it.

Enrique nods as something is wrong as he is wondering about things. Orion looks at Roland as it should be obvious. "Greeting King Roland, Enrique, has Sofia and Madeline filled you in about the ship that came into Enchancia early this morning"? Orion asks Roland as he is wondering about it.

Roland and Enrique looks at Orion as this is unexpected as he realizes that he forgot about it. "Oh Orion, I completely spaced about the boat that appeared in the harbor this morning. The girls were going to tell me about it. I take it that you know about things don't you". Roland said to Orion.

Orion nods as he looks at Roland as he understands. "Yes, you and your family do have our condolences for the losses. We have pulled the girls off from doing any protector duties, training, and assignments for the bereavements. However, there is something very strange and sinister about the ship that appeared in the harbor". Orion said to Roland and Enrique as he tells them that something very sinister going on.

Roland looks at Orion as he thinks about things this morning as he remembers about it.

Flashback

"father, we need to fill you in about". Madeline said to Roland.

end of Flashback

Roland face palms again as he completely forgotten about it. "That is what Sofia and Madeline wanted to talk to me about this morning before things gotten really upsetting, go on". Roland said to Orion as he is now being filled in about it.

Orion looks at them as he presents the note that the dock master gotten. "Yes that is correct. This is the letter that the dock master gotten when the people on came very early this morning. All of the men including the husband and wife were wearing strange pins that matches to this symbol on the letter. However, it also matches to the mark on Spencer's and Prisma's right wrist. The draw back is that it does not mention about who or what specifically that their important business is, and it also says that it is wise to stay out of it". Orion said to Roland as it is a warning about things.

Roland and Enrique looks at the note and the proof that it does match to the mark on the right wrist. "Chloe, I got a gut feeling that they are after Chloe". Roland said to Orion as he is thinking about something. "I could bet anything that the reason why there was two Grace was to find Chloe". Roland said to them as he realizes that he could be on to something.

Orion looks at Roland as he is a bit confused about things. "Wait a minute two Grace, Sofia and Madeline never told me or Chrysta about them running around in the castle". Orion said to Roland as he realizes that the girls were probably not aware about them.

Roland looks at Orion as he shakes his head to the Wind walker. "The kids were not aware about two Grace at all yesterday. Miranda and I made sure that the kids stayed out of the castle and kept Madeline busy for the surprise party to take place last night. Plus by the time the ball was about to start, the second Grace left the castle". Roland said to Orion as he realizes that the second Grace could have been at the castle to find Chloe.

Orion frowns as this is not good at all as this is bad. "There is no doubt in my mind that someone must have told them about it by now. You need to make sure that Chloe is still safe. I will get busy with turning them over to the proper authorities. However, if there is one that attacks me, I will have no problem with locking them up in the Mystic Isles". Orion said to Roland as he can understand why he and Miranda wanted the kids out of the castle.

Roland looks at Orion as he realizes that could be it. "I will Orion, and thank you. It will give them a surprise". Roland said to Orion as he knows that they have work to do. Orion nods as he takes off flying once more. Roland has a determined expression on his face as he will make this safe for Chloe. He goes to the castle infirmary to check up on things. As for Orion, he is sticking around as he wants to get a closer look at these bounty knights and turn them over to proper authorizes.

...

In the castle infirmary, Chloe is in her room as she is some what underneath the covers as her face is not covered. She does know that Kimberly has passed away as she has spent the day crying about her even though they met on the last day of her life. 'Why can't I have a good grandparent like the others has'? Chloe thought to herself as she is alone and by herself as the nurses and doctor Lucy has been checking up on her once an hour. Miranda walks in the room as she smiles to the young teenage girl. "Hey Chloe, how are you feeling today? I know that you came in late into things, but you will be safe here from your parents". Miranda said to Chloe as she is wondering about things.

Chloe looks at Miranda as she shrugs to her as she did have an unwanted visitor earlier that had to be kicked out by another person. "Queen Miranda, what will happen to me after my parents has been arrested especially about my schooling"? Chloe asks Miranda as he is wondering about things.

Miranda looks at Chloe as she has finished a visit with Spencer as she has no idea that Roland is about to come in to visit Spencer first. "Chloe, when was the last time you were in school"? Miranda asks Chloe as she is wondering about it.

Chloe looks at Miranda as she has to think back on it. "About 6 months ago, I remember it was a Friday and I was planning to leave from school that afternoon to make that visit to Jennifer, Lorenzo, and Fernando in the kingdom of Novanima. I asked one of my friends who also lives in Novanima for a ride to the kingdom to get there. I told my parents that I was staying over with my friend's house for the weekend and she will be my ride to school on that Monday. It was that Sunday night when my parents collected me from Lorenzo's house. When I was sent to the mirror, sent to that jail, escaped, placed in to the mirror again, I didn't go to school in those six months. I do not know if my parents had me drop out of school or they filled out a special leave of absence of school for that long at the Magma Institute". Chloe said to Miranda as she is not sure about her schooling.

Miranda looks at Chloe as she is deeply reminded of her as a scared and vulnerable teen. She has kept deeply hidden even from Roland. "Chloe, we will worry about that when we get there. For right now, you just worry about getting better and comfortable with people including Sofia. She is not scary of a person". Miranda said to Chloe as she is wondering what will it take for her to be not being afraid of Sofia.

Chloe looks at Miranda as she covers herself again by very mentioning of her name. "She reminded me of Grandmother Regina very deeply. Grandmother Regina was very controlling and didn't care about personal feelings or boundaries. Eliza always protected me from her. Plus when Madeline was visiting me earlier, she asked me tough what was like to have a departed grandparent. When I told her that I didn't mess my departed grandparents, she got mad that gotten Sofia's attention. Sofia asked me why that I didn't miss them deeply like I should, I just hide underneath the covers and listened to how Sofia and Madeline argued about things". Chloe said to Miranda as she didn't want to answer that question.

Miranda looks at Chloe as she remembers her as it pretty much confirms about it. "Oh yes Grandmother Regina, I didn't miss her over the years. My mother was Grandmother Regina's only daughter out of three boys. Your dad must be one of the boys in the family". Miranda said as she is wondering about them.

Chloe nods as she is slowly comes out from the covers again. "Yeah, my dad said that Eliza was being like the deeply disgraced niece from his only sister by having a baby before getting married, and wouldn't be too surprised if she also dropped out from the Magma Institute". Chloe said to Miranda as she reveals something very telling.

Miranda is stunned as she learns that Chloe has heard her own dad saying that to her. "That's actually the truth Chloe, I didn't graduate from school". Miranda said to Chloe as she never thought that truth to come out.

Chloe is stunned as she didn't realize about it as she looks at Miranda. "Wait a minute, does this mean, we are actually related"? Chloe asks Miranda as she realizes that they are related and from the same family.

Miranda nods as she looks at Chloe as it is the truth. "Yes it is Chloe. My mother was your dad's sister. I am actually your cousin. Which means that Jennifer is my second cousin, this just gotten more complicated", Miranda said to Chloe as she is wondering how she is going to explain that to the kids.

Chloe nods as she looks at Miranda as she is wondering about it. "Miranda, did your parents ever taught you to ask the tough questions at the beginning to let the truth be free"? Chloe asks Miranda as she is wondering about it.

Miranda looks at Chloe as she nods as it is very clear that a cycle has continued to her. "Oh yes, it is something that my mother taught me very deeply and I taught Sofia and Madeline to do why"? Miranda asks Chloe as she is getting the feeling that is going to need to change.

Chloe looks at Miranda as she nods as she thinks about it. "When Sofia and Madeline were in here earlier, they said to me to answer the tough questions so the truth will be free. I did not want to. Dr. Lucy kicked the both of them out". Chloe said to Miranda as she is crying and upset. i Only want Madeline to stay" and visit it seem like i knew her in another life

Miranda looks at Chloe as she sighs as she needs to make that change to things. "Chloe, I will talk to them about it tonight. I promise". Miranda said to Chloe as she gets up. "I will visit you later on ok". Miranda said to Chloe as she leaves the room as she has no idea that Roland heard it and learned about Miranda's deepest secret.

Roland is stunned as he had no idea that he married an ungraduated queen as it is a huge secret that she kept from him. He tries to stay calm about it as he decides to visit Spencer. He knocks on the door as he sees that Spencer is in bed with a magical wrap on her foot as Dr. Lucy just finished with the check up on her sister. "King Roland good, you are here. I was about to get you, Queen Miranda, Tilly, Barlteby, Peter, Thomas, and Tracey to see Dr. Sloane. He has cause of death on Kimberly, William, and Roland the first". Dr. Lucy said to Roland as she informs him about it.

Roland looks at Dr. Lucy as he nods as it is excellent progress. "Alright, plus Spencer what happened to you to wind back in the castle infirmary"? Roland asks Spencer as he is wondering what happened to her.

Spencer looks at Roland as it is very obvious as she sighs to him. "Well, it all started yesterday afternoon. I was at your mother's house got finished with the deep cleaning of the grand dining room. I got myself cleaned up and getting dress. As I was getting moving to head back to the castle, all of the sudden I felt really strange like I got hit with some sort of energy and strength draining spell. I lost my balance and slipped and fall down the stairs. Plus in the spell, my dress got torn up and ruined. I knew that I could not return to the castle with a torn and ruined dress. Kimberly would have fussed over me, and I would have ruined Madeline's party and I didn't want that. I waited long enough until I felt like I had the strength to go. As I got closer to the castle, I tripped over a tree root and I hurt my ankle. However, the strangest thing is that I could have sworn that I heard a man and a woman's voice talking, and I sensed that there were two unknown individuals I didn't see who it was because it was dark outside". Spencer said to Roland as she explains to him about things.

Roland looks at Spencer as it was very strange as it is a new clue. "A man and woman's voice, hmm, that is very interesting". Roland said to Spencer as he is wondering who it was.

Dr. Lucy nods as she hands him a report that she written about the nature of the injuries. "When I did a magical check on Spencer to see if magic was used to collaborate her story, it tested positive for magic on Spencer. Have you seen this magical signature before"? Dr. Lucy asks Roland as she is wondering about it.

Roland looks at the symbol as he frowns as he realizes it is the same symbol. "Yes, that is the Eye of Conjurer". Roland said to Dr. Lucy as he realizes that this has taken a strange turn.

Dr. Lucy nods as she has another report that she written up yesterday. "It is the exact same symbol that tested positive on Baileywick yesterday afternoon. Both Spencer and Baileywick both gotten hit with a spell unknowingly at that time". Dr. Lucy said to Roland as she hands the two reports to him.

Roland frowns as this is not good as he is wondering about things. "This is not good. Spencer, I need to ask you something. Has any of the kids has ever made you feel deeply uncomfortable with asking really tough questions about yourself"? Roland asks Spencer as he needs to know the truth about things.

Spencer gives Roland an obvious look as Dr. Lucy leaves the room to get the needed people about the three departed individuals. "King Roland, for a husband, a king, and a father, you really don't pay attention to things that is going on around you. Otherwise, people would think that you are living underneath a rock. The only two people that has ever made me feel like that are Sofia and Madeline. At the beginning before I even moved into the castle, those two are not my favorite people at all. I can tolerate Madeline a lot more , but Sofia is down at the bottom of my favorite people with Baileywick". Spencer said to Roland as she is being brutally honest with him. However, it makes me wonder why is it ok for them to bypass my layers and crush my personal boundaries every chance they got. Madeline made me cry when I first moved in the castle, and then Sofia made me cry earlier today at Kimberly's house". Spencer said to Roland as she is giving him the truth.

Roland looks at Spencer as he didn't know about that one as it is rarely that Sofia made someone cry like that. "What did Sofia do to make you cry Spencer"? Roland asks Spencer as he is wondering about what happened.

Spencer looks at Roland as she explains what happened at Kimberly's house. "Sofia did not apologize to me about the accidental mishap at the bakery and failure to consult with me about the cupcakes". Spencer said to Roland as she reveals about it.

Roland looks at Spencer as he learns about what happened at the bakery. "Did Baileywick ever apologize to you about what happened"? Roland asks Spencer as he is wondering about it.

Spencer looks at Roland as she nods as he did apologize. "Baileywick did apologize to me about it. However, I believe that Sofia is quite a manipulator. Be honest with yourself, have you ever noticed that Sofia got you or Miranda on her side during a situation involving with one of the other kids". Spencer said to Roland as she ask him a honest question.

Roland looks at Spencer as he thinks back on things as he go back to the strange spell days. "You are right Spencer. Sofia got me on her side when I took her side about cancelling the trip and with Madeline's special book took away from her because she was not herself and her not in right state of mind. Miranda told me that Madeline needed time apart from Sofia and her book was not supposed to taken away from her under any circumstances. I didn't listen Madeline nor my wife. Plus I had no clue that it was a spell all along back then until after Cedric and Madeline were missing". Roland said to Spencer as he realizes about it.

Spencer looks at Roland as she nods to him. "Roland, you need to let kids let their emotions and feelings out in a healthy manner. Plus it is not fair to anyone to be toughly questioned like they are a criminal by a constable when they first meet Sofia and Madeline. We are human with feelings, emotions, and opinions. I have been wondering why Sofia and Madeline have done that even to me". Spencer said to Roland as she is wondering about it. i know Madeline is Youngers' but she need a Pillows to Hit boy she have Hard little Hands for an 10 year old"

Roland looks at Spencer as he nods as it is something that he needs to get to the bottom of. "I will talk to Miranda and the girls about it after dinner Spencer". Roland said to Spencer as he has a plan to ask them about it. Roland thanks Spencer as he leaves the room to meet with the other adults. Spencer thanks Roland as he leaves the room.

In a special room in the castle infirmary, Dr. Sloane looks at the small group as the three departed ones are ready for burial. "King Roland, it is good that all of you are here. I do have some news for you about the causes of their passing's". Dr. Sloane said to them as they went over to Roland's and Tilly's parents.

Roland nods as they went to Kimberly's and Roland the first's bodies first. "Your parent's passing are from natural causes. With your mother's illness, I confirmed it with your mother's doctors. The illness first attacked her liver. When she beat it, she went into remission, but by the time it returned, it became more aggressive and attacked her pancreas's and kidneys. Even though the treatment worked for a while, it eventually spread to her other parts of her body. The special medicine stopped working and went she went terminal. With your father, he passed away from a heart attack that got brought on by the passing of Kimberly. I found tears from his eyes dripping down his face. He watched Kimberly's passing and then he went next". Dr. Sloane said to them as he explains about their passing.

Tilly looks at the doctor sighs as the siblings are stunned by the nature of their passing. "They were deeply in love and they were their first love". Peter said to them as it is very clear that they went together. Thomas and Tracey agrees with him.

Roland nods as he expected this as much about his parents. However, his biggest question was about William. "What about William, Dr. Sloane"? Roland asks William as he is wondering about things.

Dr. Sloane looks at them as they went to William next. "William's passing is not from natural causes like it appeared to be. At first glance, it appeared to be from a heart attack. However I checked five times to see if there was poison in the bloodstream that caused him to have a heart attack. When there was not, I consulted with Dr. Lucy about it. She discovered that it was a spell that used to make it look like it was from a heart attack. William did not see it coming at all. I am ruling William's passing as reason for investigators to solve. It is highly likely that poor William is the targeted and a magical perpetrator is the suspect for William's demise. According to Dr. Lucy, the one that did it used a magical item called the Eye of Conjure". Dr. Sloane said to Roland as he explains his findings to him.

Roland looks at them as this is connected to Baileywick and Spencer.. "That's the item that Enrique was talking about earlier and dad's house Enrique made that discovery that it came from the castle dungeon. However with the news of William's passing and then my parents passing, it just pushed things to the back burner until the funerals takes place"". Roland said to them.

Miranda is stunned as they realize that someone used it to harm those three in particular. "But who did it and why"? Miranda ask them as it is getting a deeper mystery.

Roland looks at Miranda as he is not sure as he needs to get this information to Enrique. "I do not know Miranda. We need to return to the main part of the castle and tell the kids about things". Roland said to them as he is heading back to the main part of the castle.

The adults follow Roland out of the castle infirmary as they went back to the main part of the castle. He spots Baileywick and Alice. "Baileywick, I want you to get all of the availed guards and knight in Enchancia except the guards at the castle dungeon and bring them to the castle. Tell them to head towards the castle infirmary. The entire castle infirmary is going under major protection detail. Also the only people that can go in or out the castle infirmary is myself, Queen Miranda, and Princess Elena". Roland said to Baileywick as this is going to be a long night.

Meanwhile, the group of men and the married couple are nearly there towards the castle. All day, they have been closely watched by various animals and creatures. "Is it just me or are being constantly watched all day". A bounty knight asks them as he is getting paranoid about being constantly watched.

Another bounty knight looks at them as he is getting that strange feeling as well. "Yeah, all day it is like the animals has spotted us or something silly like that". The second bounty knight said to them as he thinks it is something serious.

The third bounty knight looks at them as his uniform is dirty like it got hit with gross things. "Speak for yourself, I gotten hit by the birds and mud all day". The third bounty knight said to them as he is annoyed about it.

A fourth bounty knight looks at them as there is not much of them left. "I have heard that some of the others has been caught mysteriously already. A couple of them gotten caught by some watchers and the others was caught by a strange being". The fourth bounty knight said to them as they are not expecting any of this.

The married couple Johnathan and Antonia looks at them as they frown to them as another bounty knight named Eric are walking with them "It seems that people are not heeding to the advice of the society to stay out of this and the important business. We will arrive to the castle in than 20 minutes". Johnathan said to them as they kept moving as there are about 10 left in the group.

However unbeknownst to them, Orion frowns as two Silent Watcher are watching from the trees. "This is bad. We need to warn them that they will be coming in an hour". The younger silent watcher said to them as they do need to get to the castle before them.

The older silent watcher nods as he has been keeping an eye on them all day. "I agree. Plus I have noticed that they set their men about 2 miles apart which tells me that they are sneaking their way towards the castle for a sneak attack. However, I do recognize that man and one of the bounty knights". The older silent watcher said to them as he is thinking that they are planning for a sneak attack.

Orion nods as he looks at the bounty knight named Eric as he ponders about him. "Yes however, I think that one of them is worth getting some sort of plea deal or special sentencing. What do you mean"? Orion said to them as he notices things about it.

The older silent watcher looks at them as he nods. "Lets just say that my ex-wife's family views are the extremist on traditional and very strict". The older silent watcher said to them as this is going to be a bad family confrontation. Orion nods as they got going towards the castle.

...

Robin and Mia frowns as they see the group heading towards the castle as they have been keeping watch along with all sorts of animals and creatures. "They are about to arrive in one hour". Robin said to Mia as this is very bad.

Mia nods as she looks at Robin as she and other creatures has been watching them all day. "We need to tell Della, Jojo, and Ginger right now". Mia said to Robin as they head back towards the castle.

Back at the castle, Mia and Robin returns as to meet with the other animals. "Guys, we just heard that the group will be at the castle about an hour". Robin said to them as she explains about it.

Ginger nods as she looks at them as they need to get moving. "Thanks Robin and Mia, we need to move now". Ginger said to them as she runs as Della and Jojo are with her. Clover nods as he went to get the girls about it.

Back in the main part of the castle, the adults sigh as they are getting ready for bed as all of the sudden they hear dogs and a cat calling out to them to get their attention. They went to the front door as they see Ginger, Della, and Jojo. "Your majesties, the animals has been keeping a close watch on the group heading towards the castle all day. They are about one 20 minutes out". Ginger said to them as she is mere inches away from Roland.

Roland looks at Ginger as he is not sneezy at all as he feared about this. "Great work Ginger, I am having the guards in the castle infirmary as we speak". Roland said to Ginger as he didn't realize that the animals took it upon themselves to do that.

Miranda is stunned to learn about this as this is going to be a long night. Plus Madeline frowns as she learns about this from Clover as Sofia is banned from visiting Chloe and Spencer. She sneaks off to the castle infirmary as she needs to protect Chloe. She even gets Elena to come with her. "It does not give us a lot of a lot of time to prepare for this Roland". Miranda said to Roland as she knows that she needs to get the kids to safety.

Roland nods as he looks at Miranda as he does not realizes that Madeine and Elena has already gone back to the castle infirmary. "I know. Miranda tell the kids to stay in the playroom until it is safe for them to come down stairs. Cedric, I will need your help on this". Roland said to Cedric as he is in the room. Cedric nods as he has his wand as he is ready to fight. Miranda and Cedric nods as they understand as the other adults went up stairs to handle just that.

About 20 minutes later, just outside of the castle infirmary, things are getting quiet as all of the sudden, an ambush is launched as the guards hear noses as the doctors, guards, and nurses are hit with sticky webs that got thrown in the windows. "Just remain calm, we are just here for the important business that you are treating, release the important business and you will be freed from the sticky webs". Antonia said to them as she is using a projection spell to talk to the people in the infirmary.

Lady Agatha frowns as she is not stuck as she notices that Lucy is stuck. "Lucy are you ok"? Lady Agatha asks Lucy as she is wondering about it.

Lucy looks at Lady Agatha as she shrugs to her. "Not really, mom, you fight back. Spencer is in the other room with Chloe". Lucy said to Lady Agatha as she is worried about her younger sister.

Lady Agatha nods as she leaves the room as she spots various guards trapped in the sticky web spells. She spot Elena and Spencer who comes out from a different room. "Madeline came up with a plan to move Chloe to a different room". Elena said to Lady Agatha as Spencer nods to them.

It is not long that a group of bounty knights bust in the doors as they are ready to engage in a fight. "You mind telling us where that room is to make it easy for us". The bounty knights said to them as they have swords and wands out and ready to fight.

Elena frowns as she glares at them as she has her scepter out and ready to fight. "Not a chance", Elena said to them as the bounty knights launch their attack towards them. The three ladies are in fight of their own.

Outside of the castle infirmary, it is Roland, Miranda, and Cedric as they are in a battle against them as Roland has a sword in his hands as he is in a sword fight against Johnathan. Cedric is in a magic duel against Antonia while Miranda is in a sword fight against the other bounty knights. "Come on King Roland, you keeping a minor from her parents. You don't have to do this and release our daughter". Johnathan said to Roland as he wants him to see sense.

Roland frowns as he glares at Johnathan as he does not agree with him. "A minor who has been sent to the mirror twice and forced to become a maid slave, I do not think so". Roland said to Johnathan as he is holding him back.

Cedric is holding Antonia off really good as he is playing with her with various spells. "You are not going in there to get your daughter back by any means". Cedric said to Antonia as he is not having any trouble with her.

Antonia looks at Cedric as she is getting annoyed about things. "You pathetic sorcerer, you are the one that has deeply compromised the cave of the society. You are the biggest enemy of the society since Gabriella". Antonia said to them as she sends a massive punishment spell towards Cedric.

Baileywick arrives as he has his special feather duster as he uses it. "I wouldn't call him pathetic if I were you lady". Baileywick said to them as he uses the special feather duster. The long strands of the feather duster cuts and slices down the punishment spell into many pieces as he protected Cedric.

Cedric turns as he sees Baileywick as he smiles to him as he smiles to him. "Thanks Baileywick, I owe you one". Cedric said to Baileywick as he realizes that he is fitting into his role nicely.

The bounty knight Eric frowns as this are not turning out like it should be as he is running off away from the castle. He never signed up for any of this as now he is picking the time to escape from things. Miranda frowns as she got the two bounty knights to surrender. She chases after the bounty knight as she is after him. "Stop right there", Miranda said to the bounty knight as she is holding a sword in his hands.

The bounty knight named Eric turns as he looks at Miranda as something about her looks vaguely familiar. "Why do you look like Josephine? She passed away two years ago didn't she"? Eric asks Miranda as he knows that he has to fight her.

Miranda looks at Eric as she realizes that this is her mother's brother. "Josephine was my mother's name what's it to you "? Miranda asks Eric as she is face to face with the estranged uncle.

Eric frowns as he is fighting her with his sword in his hands. "I am sorry but I have to fight you". Eric said to Miranda as they are in a sword fight.

Miranda looks at Eric as she is getting the feeling that it is not what he wanted to do. "If you didn't want to fight me, then why are you a bounty knight"? Miranda asks Eric as they are in a sword battle.

Eric looks at Miranda as he has a solemn expression on his face. "I was forced to become a bounty knight ok. Plus, I have to be kept away from Johnathan and his wife. They are even worse than my parents, your mother's parent. They said if I do not recapture Chloe, I will end up in the mirror again, and it is not for the reason that you might think it is". Eric said to Miranda as he pleaded with her as they are in the sword fight.

Miranda is stunned to learn about this one as she is wondering why he is coming out with this now. "What do you mean by again"? Miranda asks Eric as she is wondering what is going on.

Eric looks at Miranda as he drops his sword and other weapons and surrendering peacefully. He reveals the marks to her. "I was the one that handed all of that information to Chloe to turn over on the day before she ran away from home. I was on guard duty with her when her parents were out of town and I knew that Chloe is not going to thrive. I lead her to the special room where all of the documents that Johnathan and Antonia had about the group home and other things as well". Eric said to Miranda as he bows down in mercy as he is ready and willing to surrender.

Miranda is stunned as Orion arrives as he heard everything's. "I will take this one back to the Mystic Isles Miranda. He will be kept there safely and protected". Orion said to Miranda as he will take care of it. "Thanks Orion", Miranda said to Orion as she sighs in relief. It is not long that a special carriage arrives to take Eric away as he also left.

Back at the castle infirmary, the battle inside are still going on as Lady Agatha is getting annoyed by it. "You know what, I think it is time to lay down the law about the Anti-Bounty Knights Law. The Bounty Knights are illegal to form in any kingdom in the Ever Realm. Those who break the law shall be punished to the fullest extend to the law and shall be returned where the kingdom where you guys first form the newest group". Lady Agatha said to them as she knows this law as she pulls out a royal grant law scroll that she carries with her.

The bounty knights that are attacking in the castle infirmary are stunned to see the law scroll in Lady Agatha's hands. They do recognize her as it is a huge shock. "Wait are you the champion of justice of Wimonia? That is impossible". One of the bounty knights said to them as they realize that it is real.

Spencer nods as she glares at them as she got up from the wheel chair as she gives them some punches to their faces. "That is my mom, so I think you guys should sit down". Spencer said to them as she managed to do it even with a twisted ankle.

The bounty knights are stunned as they look at Spencer as they look like they have seen a ghost. "Ok, ok, we surrender Prince Patrick look alike". The bounty knight with the bird stuff and mud all over him said to them as they drop their weapons.

Elena is stunned as she looks at the two of them as they are really cool and unique. "Good, now leave the castle infirmary and get your cohorts to surrender as well". Elena said to them as they got them to leave as it is not long that the other knights got their to arrest the bounty knights.

Back outside, Johnathan and Antonia frown as they notice that things are not turning out the way they wanted it to. "What, how come our plan didn't work? Johnathan asks them as he is a bit confused about things.

Della, Jojo, and Ginger arrives as the animals all over Enchancia by air and land show up. "For a bunch of humans, attacking the royal family in a time of mourning is an idiotic move". Ginger said to them as she can talk. Johnathan frowns as Antonia has been defeated by Baileywick and Cedric as he notices that Eric is no where to be found. "WHAT, I AM NOT GOING TO BE DEFEATED BY A BUNCH OF ANIMALS ESPECIALLY THAT TALKING CAT, TALKING DOG, AND THE TALKING POWDERPUFF DOG". Johnathan said to them as he is taking off and making a run for it.

Della frowns as she glares at the man as she does not like being called powder puff. "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A POWDER PUFF", Della said to Johnathan said as she chasing after him. Jojo and Ginger follows Della as they all leap into the air and tackle Johnathan to the ground as they sit on him as the other castle animals growl and surround him.

Roland is stunned as he did not realize that the animals took part in this today. Constable Myles and his deputies arrive in droves as they are being locked up at the constable's office. "We will take them into custody King Roland". Constable Myles said to them as he informs him about it.

Roland nods as he watches them getting the bounty knights into the carriages as they are being carted to jail. Johnathan frowns as he notices that Eric is not with them. "Where is Eric? He failed, and he will be sent to the mirror for it". Johnathan said to them as he is wondering about Eric.

Miranda glares at Jonathan as she is not going to tell him. "He has already been appended Johnathan. Plus he will be kept safely from the likes of you". Miranda said to Johnathan as she is standing up for herself.

Johnathan looks at Miranda as he recognizes her as he has a smirk on her face. "Well, it seems that you have been in Enchancia this whole time disgraced niece? Does Alberto know that you are here? Plus that royal life does not really suit you". Johnathan said to Miranda as he is nearly in the carriage.

Miranda is stunned as she has not heard that name in years. Roland is a bit confused as he glares at Johnathan. "Get him out of here", Roland said to them as he is not sure what to think right now.

As the group is taken away, the battle is all over as Cedric, Enrique, and Lady Agatha are getting to work with releasing people from the sticky web spells. They went back into the castle infirmary to let Chloe know that they have been arrested and taken into custody. Chloe looks at the group as they give her that reassuring nod as tears are forming in her eyes as she is crying her eyes and heart out. Spencer went over to hug Chloe. "It is ok Chloe. Just let it all out, your true recovery will now begin". Spencer said to Chloe as she senses the feelings and emotions that she is carrying.

Miranda and Roland are stunned as they see how Spencer let Chloe cry all over her and not bothered by it at all. It is not long that Elena, Cedric, Baileywick, Madeline, Lady Agatha, Doctor Lucy, and Bartleby join in to hug Chloe. At last, Roland and Miranda joins in as well as they realize that Spencer is truly an one of a kind person.

...

After dinner, most of the people has left the dining room table as Roland sighs as he needs to tell the kids about the funeral that will take place tomorrow and the first meal. Miranda is sitting with them as she agrees about the talk. "Kids, I want to tell you that tomorrow's funeral service is going to be very long. There will be a lot of prayers, songs, and speakers for the service". Roland said to the kids as he has a plan and putting something to the test.

The kids looks at Roland and Miranda as they understand so far as it is a simple explanation. Madeline and Sofia look at Roland as they have their tough questions for him about it. "Are we going to speaking during the service"? Madeline asks them as she wants to do something for the service.

Roland looks at Madeline as he expected her to ask questions. "No Madeline, you are not going to be one of the speakers at the service tomorrow. It is going to be Baileywick, myself and Spencer that will be doing the eulogies at the service tomorrow". Roland said to Madeline as he explains that it will be the three of them that will be doing the eulogies at the service.

Madeline looks at Roland as she looks kind of disappointed about it. "How come dad? I never gotten a chance to do the speech at the graduation for them to hear it all because of Renee and Sofia still never apologized for embracing me when she constantly mentioned me in it. Plus, how could you tell us that grand mum, grandpa the first, and William passed away after the best night ever"? Madeline asks Roland as she gives him a fair explanation that she never gotten a chance to do it at the graduation at Royal Prep.

Roland looks at Madeline as he expected this as much as Sofia has a follow up question for him. "But dad, how come Spencer is doing an eulogy when it should be Aunt Tilly or Uncle Peter, Uncle Thomas or even Aunt Tracey"? Sofia asks Roland as she is wondering why Spencer is doing it.

Roland looks at Sofia as he expected that as much from her just like Madeline. "Tilly, Peter, Thomas, and Tracey didn't feel up to doing it because it will be too hard to talking about them without tearing up in the middle of it. Plus according to Kimberly's instructions for the funeral, Spencer will be doing a speech during the service. Madeline, I know that you got shot down from the graduation at Royal Prep, but you kids are still too young to do an eulogy at a funeral. That is something when you are much older at 16 years old". Roland said to them as he is laying it down for them.

The kids nod as they understand about it as Madeline frowns as she is being barred to speak at the graduation. Roland looks at them as he brings up the next item on the list. "Plus at the funeral tomorrow, I want you kids to observe the various people who are there. If you see anyone suspicious, I want you kids to get one of the adults and we will handle it. Plus Sofia and Madeline, you two can not ask any tough questions at the beginning on them". Roland said to them as he is laying down the rule on it.

Amber and James look at Roland as they are stunned by it as it is a huge game changer on their younger siblings. Miranda is equally surprised by this rule as well as Sofia and Madeline. "But dad, Madeline and I always ask the tough questions, otherwise the truth will not be set free". Sofia said to Roland as she is referring to herself and Madeline doing that.

Madeline nods as she looks at Roland as she has a huge revelation. "Yeah, plus, the only person is the exception to the rule is Spencer". Madeline said to Roland as everyone hears that coming from her mouth.

Miranda is also surprised to learn that Madeline made an exception for someone. Roland looks at Sofia and Madeline as he frowns to them as he is some what pleased about the exception that she made to Spencer. "It is not right to make a person feel that they are being interrogated by either one of you when you first meet someone, girls". Roland said to them as he has no idea the can of worms that he is about to open.

Sofia is stunned as she hears that one correctly as she looks at Madeline. "Since when you made someone an exception to the rule Madeline, we always do that to every new person. We always get the same thing, we are always a team, and we always do things together". Sofia said to Madeline as she is wondering why she did that.

Madeline looks at Sofia as she frowns as she gives her a look as she is tired of hearing that. "Even though I do not remember what happened while I was under that spell, I made that decision on my own long before that spell was even casted on me". Madeline said to Sofia as she fires back as she is defending her decision.

Sofia is stunned as she is hearing that one correctly. "What long before the spell even gotten casted. We still need to get back to the team that we are known for. Cedric probably didn't get rid of all of the spell that still have you under". Sofia said to Madeline as she fires back towards her.

Amber frowns as she glares at Sofia as she has heard enough as this is getting too far. "You are out of line Sofia. Plus, how dare you bring Cedric into this? He was the one that risked his life to save Madeline and released all of his inner darkness that he was carrying. Plus, I actually applaud Madeline to make a decision on her own free will". Amber said to Sofia as she is defending Cedric and Madeline on this one.

Sofia is stunned as she looks at Amber as she is surprised about this. "What, you are actually defending Cedric and Madeline on this. You are the last person that would defend Cedric of all people". Sofia said to Amber as she calls her out on being the last person to do that.

James looks at Sofia as he agrees as he has stayed out of things like this. "I actually agree with Amber, Sofia. Plus, long before the spell gotten started both Amber and I have started to see Cedric in a whole new light that we didn't thought it was possible. Yet, he risked himself to protect us when the Renee copy attacked". James said to Sofia as he is defending them about it.

Miranda looks at them as she needs to confront Roland about this. "Kids, go up to the playroom, your dad and I need to talk". Miranda said to them as she is wondering what has gotten into him to result with the kids to be arguing about it. The kids nod as they leave the dining room as they go up to the playroom.

Miranda frowns as she looks at Roland as she is wondering about things. "Roland, what we were you thinking by having that rule on Sofia and Madeline like that? Plus I miss how those two are not being on the same team". Miranda said to Roland as she is wondering about it.

Roland looks at Miranda as he is stunned by her question as he fires back at her. "Me, I was thinking that the Sofia and Madeline needs to stop being like constables in training to constantly interrogate new people. I saw how Madeline made Alice cry during ball about being a castle worker. Plus, Sofia even made Spencer cry at mother's house today. Plus that behavior never came from Madeline's first family, it came from your family didn't it. Plus what were you thinking by dropping out of school and never graduated. That is a secret that the kingdom can not know about at all. How could you not tell me this before we were married"? Roland asks Miranda as he fires back at her.

Miranda looks at Roland as she is stunned that he has found out about it. "That came from my mother's family thank you very much. Plus, I am not the one that imposed a terrible new rule on Sofia and Madeline. Plus it looks like you still have not earned that trust back with Madeline at all. On that school part, you are so blind to what I have been through when I left home, and it happened long before I even met your first wife when she was your first fiancé. You will be sleeping on the couch". Miranda said to Roland as she gets up from the table.

Roland frowns as he is stunned by this as he got up from the table. "Excuse me, I am not the one that is treating Madeline like she is an extension of Sofia. She maybe ten years old, but she is becoming an individual and made her own decision about that rule. It is you that is sleeping on the couch". Roland said to Miranda as the two of them are leaving the room as they go separately to cool off.

Miranda frowns as she is heading outside as she is upset as tears are falling down her face. She notices Elena who just finished a magic call with Mateo and Enrique who is close by. "Dad, Elena, may I sit and join you"? Miranda asks them as she is upset.

Elena and Enrique look at Miranda as they are getting the feeling that something is wrong. "Miranda dear, what's wrong? I have not seen you this upset when a crush rejected you during middle school". Enrique said to Miranda as he is wondering what has his daughter upset.

Miranda looks at them as she lays it on them. "Roland and I had our first fight, and I just don't know where I went wrong with things. Miranda looks at Elena. "Roland and I just had our first fight. We were talking the funeral with the kids. Roland wanted them to keep an eye out for someone suspicious and then to tell us, but he added that Madeline can not go all third degree on the person when she first meets them. When Madeline told him that without hard questions the truth can not be freed. She even asked him some questions about having a church nearby and sign in books. Even though he did say yes to those things. It was like he was getting the feeling that he had not gotten her trust back after the spell was broken. She told him the truth that he didn't get that truth back and how could he tell her about the passing's about three people after the best night ever last night and ran off. He even went on and on how it is not fair to a person to get interrogated by Madeline when they first met. I tried to tell him that without hard truth questions the truth will never set free. He told me that it is not right to make a person feel like that they are being interrogated by a constable for a crime that they might have committed when Madeline first meets them. Then Roland confronted me about being ungraduated queen and dropped out of school". Miranda said to Elena and Enrique as she reveals about the fight.

Elena looks at Miranda as she is processing it. "So, when Madeline meets a new person, she becomes the constable to get to know every piece of truth out of them when they first met her.

Miranda nods as she looks at Elena. "Yeah my mother said that the truth will never come out without the hard questions. Then Roland told me about a conversation that he had with Spencer today. She asked him why Madeline will not and can not accept that she has many layers to herself and needed time to build that trust and getting comfortable to tell deeper truth like how Kimberly did. He told me that she confided in him that the reason why Sofia and Madeline are not her favorite people in the castle is because they rather break through her layers and personal boundaries to get the deeper truth about her. It makes me wonder if I have let them girls especially Madeline go too far with asking tough questions at the get go like my mother had". Miranda said to Elena as she explains that one to her.

Enrique frowns as he is not happy that Roland assumed things about Miranda. "Roland should have never assumed or even jumped to conclusions about the schooling part. Your mother and I had no knowledge that you dropped out of school. Plus, I gave that boy's father a piece of my mind when he did it without our knowledge let alone consent. Plus as for you, Miranda, you continued that vicious cycle that your grandmother Regina taught to your mother that taught to you. That teaching influence Sofia and Madeline into doing the same thing". Enrique said to Miranda as he is giving her some parenting advice.

Miranda looks at Enrique as she nods as she is guilty of that deeply. "I should have realized that has a negative consequences on the people around the girls when they did that. Plus, Sofia does remind me of mother and Grandmother Regina. However, I am surprised that Madeline made an exception for Spencer like that. When I heard the kids argue, I saw and heard things on how things happened before the spell happened". Miranda said to them as she is thinking about things.

Elena and Enrique nods as they look at Miranda as they are getting somewhere with her. "Miranda, how were the girls when they were younger before you married Roland'? Elena asks Miranda as Enrique is curious about it.

Miranda looks at Elena and Enrique as she reflects on things. "Well they always helped me out in the kitchen and in the shop. They even helped others in the village as well. They even gotten along and really close like they are one team. Even in the castle they are like one team. Yet, when I see in Madeline, I have always wondered where her intelligence came from and her red hair. She was becoming an individual and very much different from Sofia. At the same time, by the time she entered kindergarten at the school in the village, teachers has commented to me that Madeline is a very gifted child. She has learned her letters and knows how to read at a higher grade level than the other kids. I remember one time, Madeline was in the principals office because she trying to get a chapter book back from a teacher's aid. The teacher's aid claim that she was too young and would not comprehend things in the book. I was called down of course. Madeline gotten so bored of waiting that she started to read the book word for word without being told or coached to do it. We all saw her and heard her reading it like it was nothing. It was evident that Madeline needed tougher school work, and it hit me straight to the face. At the same time, my biggest worry about Madeline in a different class was that she was in a class with older students. When I told Sofia that Madeline was going to be in her grade level, I explained to her that she needs to stick together and do things together with her. Sofia understood that even when they became princesses. However, ever since Spencer came into our lives, things has changed between Sofia and Madeline like they have started to fall out of that team that they are. However, as I gotten to know Spencer, she is like two sides of a coin. One side, she is tough, no nonsense, fiercely independent, blunt honest, sarcastic, and intelligent. However in the other side, she is compassionate, deeply selfless, very empathic towards others, and kind. Yet at the same time, she carries a lot of dark memories physical scars from her past at the hands of Elizabeth. However at the same time, Spencer's life with Elizabeth kind of reminded me of my life with my mother". Miranda said to Elena and Enrique as she is starting to realize things.

Enrique looks at Miranda as he nods as he has figured things out. "Miranda dear, you have to be honest with yourself, your heart, me, and Elena. It sounds like to me that you are deeply jealous of Spencer and yet you probably didn't know this but your life and Spencer's life are parallel with each other". Enrique said to Miranda as he figured it out about her.

Miranda looks at Enrique as it has reached down to her heart as she nods to the both of them. "To tell you the truth dad, I am jealous of Spencer. Plus you are right dad, I did not realize how parallel my life was with her as well. Ever since I have been to her cottage for the first time, it made me think how my life was different from hers when I was her age. When I was her age, I had two very young children and a husband. She had a cottage, wasn't married, and no kids. I left home and dropped out of school, Spencer had graduated from school at 17 but had a great opportunity to do it at 16 if Elizabeth didn't ruin things for her. When I was a teenager, I had personal boundaries crushed by my mother with my things at my parents house in Gladiz. My mother gotten the truth out of me when I told her that I was pregnant with my first born son and Spencer, she had all sort of personal boundaries about her life. She even kept her personal life and her working life separate like a boss. That was something that I could not do. Yet when we started to get involved with her life, her world turned upside down. She tried to tell us that getting involved with her life was a bad idea. She tried to warn us that it will get Elizabeth closer and closer to her. None of us listened, it was because of all of us that Spencer lost her cottage and had no other choice but to live in the castle. I followed my mother's teachings and influence and applied to the girls and the girls gotten that influenced from me and applied to everyone else that come across them. I also realize how much my life and Spencer's life is parallel to each other, and how my mother's life and Lady Agatha's life are parallel to each other. Plus I have more in common with Spencer, Lady Agatha, and my mother that I didn't know and realized from before". Miranda said to them as she realizes that she was wrong.

Enrique nods as he looks at Miranda as there is one other thing. "Miranda dear, there is one other thing that you didn't think about in regarding to Spencer. When you first notice her at Kimberly's house, did you and your family truly discover that she might need your help or did you only heard about her and give her the help"? Enrique asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.

Miranda looks at Enrique as she thinks about it as she realizes about things. "We only heard about Spencer and we gave her the help. Dad, Spencer did not even rest or take things easy. She had insane work hours. Even though she had a reason in the form of Elizabeth, it was not fair to her to over do things". Miranda said Enrique as she is wondering why he is bringing it up now.

Enrique looks at Miranda as he gives her that obvious expression. "Did you even consider that the kind of help that you gave to Spencer was the pity kind of help and not the compassionate kind of help that she should have gotten? Spencer did have her reasons to work as late as she did, but the thing that set Kimberly apart from you and the rest of the castle was that she was the first one to show her compassion. She build that deep trust and relationship with Kimberly based on that compassion, and it shown that Spencer gave that compassion back to Kimberly when she gotten sick" Enrique asks Miranda as he figured it out.

Miranda is stunned as she does not realize about that one as it hits her in the face. "I never thought about it like that dad. The first time we heard about Spencer was from Baileywick when he got really annoyed that Spencer said no to his help to give her a ride to where she was going. Even though she was civil and cordial to him, it basically jump started things. No wonder Spencer felt so betrayed by Baileywick". Miranda said to Enrique as understands what she has done wrong.

Elena looks at them as she is thinking about things when she first met Spencer in the Mystic Isles. "Roland did tell me that he should have warned me about Spencer being very rough around the edges. From the moment I accused her mom being a bad and evil sorceress, Spencer was very protective of her. Plus when I finally got to meet Lady Agatha, I realized that she is not evil at all. I deeply misjudged a very good sorceress when I had experience with evil sorceress before. Spencer is very protective kind of like you". Elena said to Miranda as she can see how the two women are a lot alike.

Miranda looks at them as she feels the breezes from both Kimberly and Josephine talking to her. 'Forgive him, open up to him dear, and he won't judge you'. the soothing words get to her. "You are right Elena, Spencer and I are kind of alike that way. I am starting to realize and understand how Spencer has challenged me on my views and parenting. She was trying to tell me this whole time something that was bothering her from what Sofia and Madeline did towards her. Yet, I didn't listen to her because of my teachings on the girls was morally correct, but it turned out to be hurting other people". Miranda said to them as she realizes that she does need to change the rules.

Enrique looks at Miranda as he agrees with her as he is starting to see that she is seeing the light. "Miranda, I will personally give Roland a piece of my mind about the schooling issue. Not only that, you never told me about the time that you left home. I tried to find you, but I end up getting lost in a jungle for a couple of weeks. I should have divorced your mother years ago long before your pregnancy with your first born son. Her family views were too deeply painful. Plus, according to the arrange marriage documents that mostly her parents and my parents set in place, for a divorce to happen, we had to wait until the youngest child is over the age of 15. Once that happened, the divorce proceedings went into place. There was an additional clause that we had to live together but separately in the same house until one of us died or we some how reconcile with each other. When you left home, Rosa was 13 years old. I begged my parents to see if there was any kind of loop holes. As there was not any loop holes, I was pretty much stuck with Josephine and try to held it long enough. Yet even when your mother passed away, I felt like I was not ready to date again until I was reunited with you Miranda. Plus not only that, Renee was still around in the house. Plus I did not want to bring the potiental date into where Renee will get to her. However, when I met Lady Agatha, I have these warm feelings that I had not have in a long time. It seems that true love has found me in unexpected ways, and I can tell that your mother is pleased that I have meet someone that I truly like". Enrique said to them as he feels the breeze as he knows that she deeply approves.

Miranda looks at them as she smiles as she needs to reflect on things. "Thanks dad and Elena, I have a lot of reflecting to do before talking to Roland and good night". Miranda said to Enrique and Elena as she is making the journey back to the castle. Enrique and Elena nod as they also make their way back to the castle.

...

In the special chamber, Roland is pacing around the room as Cedric and Baileywick gives him a look. "Roland, all of this pacing around is not good. What is going on with you"? Baileywick asks Roland as he is wondering about it.

Roland looks at Baileywick as he stops pacing around as he notices Enrique coming in the room. "How could I married an ungraduated queen? I overheard Chloe and Miranda talking earlier about worries that Chloe was carrying like school. Miranda asked her about school and the last time she went. She said things about how her dad said things about the disgraced niece and dropping out. Then Miranda said that that is the truth about it and she didn't even graduate from school. Plus I wanted to put something to the test that worked and backfired at the same time. I want the girls to realize that interrogating a new person like a constable is wrong, but it turns out that they gotten influenced on that teaching that Miranda taught them. Not only that I thought I made progress on regaining trust with Madeline, but I was wrong. I just don't know what I did wrong". Roland said to Cedric and Baileywick as he is venting to them about what happened.

Enrique looks at Roland as he has that fatherly expression on his face. "Roland, did you even consider the fact that you jumped to the wrong conclusions about Miranda and the schooling issue"? Enrique asks them as he is not happy that he hurt Miranda like this.

Roland turns as he notices Enrique there as he looked busted. "Well no, but did you had any knowledge about it back then"? Roland asks Enrique as he is wondering if he knew about it.

Enrique looks at Roland as a revelation is about to come out. "Absolutely not Roland, my ex-wife and I did not have any knowledge about Miranda dropping out of school. Plus Donald chewed my ex-wife out for even sending Miranda back to school immediately after she gave birth to her first born son, and he wanted her to get counseling for the fact that she placed her first born son for adoption. Her mother refused to do it and told him that it is better for Miranda to forget about him and move on with her life. I even confronted her about how she has forgotten her first born daughter. She slapped me in the face and I ended up in the dog house for a month. Plus it didn't help with the sadness and depression that I had with Miranda leaving home. Did I blame Miranda for leaving home, no? I did blame her mother yes". Enrique said to Roland as he is giving him a piece of his mind.

Roland looks at Enrique as he realizes that he has been an idiot about it. "You mean Miranda never gotten the help she needed back then to deal with the loss of her first born son to adoption. Plus it might be that something else that happened to Miranda that neither me and you even knew about". Roland said to Enrique as he gotten things wrong.

Enrique nods as he sees that Roland got some sense knocked into him. "That's correct Roland, you are not wrong to tell Sofia and Madeline that interrogating new people like a constable is wrong. However what Miranda needs to explain to them that she has foolishly repeated that cycle that got started by my ex-mother in law and it those influences that they picked up on". Enrique said to Roland as he can see how he was right about telling them that.

Roland looks at Enrique as he nods as he truly understands about it. "I do understand that now Enrique. I suppose that the three passing's has everyone agitated with each other. Sofia still has not earned the trust back with Madeline. She even gotten surprised and shocked that Madeline made an exception to that rule on Spencer of all people. Yet at the same time, Sofia made a bad comment about Cedric not completely breaking the spell on Madeline. Yet Amber was the one that defended Cedric and Madeline. With James, he was caught in the middle of the fighting between them. Ever since the first graduation party and Madeline gotten the jewelry box, Sofia has been on a crusade to take it away from her because of her age and doesn't wear jewelry. Yet during the spell, Sofia was trying to take the trip that Cedric was planning just for him and Madeline. Even though she some what succeeds with it, she even got me to be on her side by taking the special book and working journal away from Madeline away from her. At the same time, she and I were both dismayed and confused by the fact that Miranda was on Madeline's on the issue regarding about it". Roland said to them as he realizes something else.

Baileywick looks at Roland as he realizes about the same thing. "Come to think of it, when Sofia came to me with the jewelry box, she told me to hold on to it for safe keeping. When I asked about where she got it from, she told me that she got it out from her room and trying to get Madeline's enchantlet out of it for me to hold on. However, it needed a key because because there is a section in the jewelry box itself that has that lock, so she brought the entire box to me for safe keeping. Plus yesterday with the cupcakes, Spence call me that she had everything covered and handled. I let her head over on her own. However Sofia told me that we should follow and check in because we don't know what could happen. I gave in Sofia's point and went to the bakery. However, when Sofia accidentally bumped into Spencer and the woman intentionally shoved her, that is when the cupcake accident happened and Spencer and the woman ended up with frosting on them. I felt bad for Spencer and I had every full intentions to follow Spencer's instructions and blue prints for the cupcakes for Madeline's party last night. When I saw how deeply detailed oriented and very specific to Madeline it was, Spencer must have done a lot of research and thinking to make sure it fit Madeline to the T. However Sofia told me that would be too complicated to do and change it just vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and only went with the purple and brown color on the frosting. I reliantly agreed with Sofia because she wanted to help. I apologized to Spencer about it today, but Sofia has never once apologized about it". Baikeywick said to them as he knows what he did was wrong".

Cedric nods as he looks at Roland as he has a small confession to make. "I must admit that Princess Sofia is not my favorite person right now either. Ever since she told me that I was wrong about what was going on with Madeline and the spell, it was a huge blow to my self confidence. It deeply felt like how you did not have much confidence in me in my spells and sorcery. On the day of the graduation at Royal Prep, I had originally planned to use the spell that I successfully used for the special breakfast for Madeline. When I heard Sofia said that I didn't mess up, that deeply hurt because I practiced that spell for weeks. However when I still trapped in that cocoon, I heard yours, Baileywick's, and Chrystal's voices the most. However I felt the presence from the others in various different ways. However the only presence that I didn't felt was actually Sofia. After Madeline was freed, I never felt Sofia's support and light like the others have , and it is because of it that I still don't have a lot of confidence in her right now. It is actually one of the reasons why I have put off any magic lessons with them". Cedric said to them as he reveals more truth about things.

Roland looks at Cedric as he is stunned as he didn't know this. "So when we felt your heart in that cave, it was you releasing the inner darkness that you were carrying deep inside. Sofia probably does not realize that you were carrying all of that pain this whole time". Roland said to Cedric as he does need to talk to Sofia.

Enrique looks at them as he nods to them as figure things out. "Roland, you need to be honest with yourself about things. Sofia manipulated people into making things work out for her. Not only that, you and Amber were the mission leaders, not Sofia. She wanted to transform into a raven to check things out where Cedric, Prince Daniel, and Madeline were. Not only that, Sofia is jealous that Madeline gotten things that are exclusive to her and wasn't a part of projects or surprises that is specifically for her. I do believe that Sofia is jealous that Cedric was the one that ultimately broken the spell over Madeline and not her". Enrique said to Roland as he explains about it.

Roland looks at Enrique as he realizes that his father in law is correct. "You are right Enrique. Spencer told me that she believes that Sofia is a manipulator. I didn't want to believe it at first because I have known Sofia a lot longer than Spencer. Yet Spencer figured things out about both Sofia and Madeline, and she is not afraid to call them out on it. Plus, I do believe that you are right that Sofia is jealous of people who did things of have things specifically for Madeline that felt that she should have gotten one or have it because she is older than her. Plus, I think Sofia is also jealous that Amber and I got to be the leaders of that mission and not her to or even included". Roland said to them as he realizes what he did wrong.

Enrique nods as he looks at Roland as he sees that he figured it out. "Good, reflecting on the things that has said and done will help you to learn from your past mistakes in making things right for the people and achieving the forgiveness towards people who has wronged you. When you repeat the same mistakes, it will not have a better future for yourself and others around you in the kingdom, think about it. I have told Miranda and Elena the same thing". Enrique said to them as he excused himself as he leaves the room.

Roland looks at them as he is starting to reflect on things. "I am going for a walk, Baileywick don't wait up on me. If Miranda does sleep in my bed, I will go sleep on the couch". Roland said to Baileywick as he has a lot of thinking to do. Baikeywick looks at Roland as he understands as Roland leaves the special chamber.

Roland sighs as he went down stairs as he notices James and Amber as they are wondering if things are alright. "Amber, James, what's wrong"? Roland asks them as he notices that they are feeling down about things.

Amber looks at Roland as she has a question about things. "Are you and mom going to break up and get a divorce? It is not like you and mom to fight like this"? Amber asks Roland as she is wondering about it.

Roland looks at Amber as he shakes his head to her. "No Amber, this is our first fight between us. I will admit that I was wrong in things like how your mother is wrong about things as well. It is up to us to fix and make things right again. How did you two learned about divorces in the first place"? Roland asks them as he is wondering where that kind of talk.

James looks at Roland as he explains things to him. "Well earlier, us kids were talking about things and it gotten how Enrique and Grandmother Josephine had been divorced a very long time and how they were in a tight and very strict arranged marriage. However Jennifer's grandfather and her grandmother have been divorced for a long time as well but they fallen out of love each other. She even told us that she got adopted by her dad who is truly single never married. So she was referring to her dad's parents". James said to Roland as he explained about it.

Roland looks at them as he sighs as he looks at the two kids. "This fight between your mom and me are not going to break us up. There is that safety net that catches it. We just need to deeply reflect and talk about it. Plus the passing's has all of us feeling down in all sorts of ways". Roland said to them as he does need to find Miranda to talk.

Amber and James nod to Roland as they understand. "Ok dad, but what are we going to do about Sofia though? I have never seen her that would do something completely out of line like that". James said to Roland as he is wondering about it.

Roland looks at James as he nods as tomorrow they will have a long day. "Miranda and I will have to talk to Sofia, James. Amber, I need to ask you something. Has Sofia ever saw you manipulated people into doing things or being jealous of certain people". Roland asks Amber as he is wondering about it.

Amber looks at Roland as she reflects on it as she nods to him. "Yeah maybe a few times over the last four years, there were a time or two that Sofia was jealous of people over a small issue, why". Amber said to Roland as she reflects on that one.

Roland looks at Amber as he realizes about it. "It might be that Sofia gained that influence to be jealous and manipulate people from you Amber, but you didn't even know it". Roland said to Amber as he is wondering about it.

Amber looks at Roland as she didn't even know it. "I can see that. Plus, I should have known that Sofia is jealous of Madeline and anything that Madeline' gets exclusively to her. After that meeting with the Grand Magical Council, I saw that Sofia was a bit mad about things. We talked about how Madeline's dress was completely different from the sorcery dress that she wears for her magic lessons for Cedric. Not only that when they told us that Madeline and Cedric has that Bond of the Sorcerer thing, she got mad that she was not added to it. I called her out on being jealous, but she got mad and did not admit it". Amber said to Roland as she explains about what happened.

Roland looks at Amber as he sighs as the special magical marvel has been brought up. "There is more about the Bond of the Sorcerer that we don't know about. Just because Cedric and Madeline are the main two involved with it, it does not mean that we don't have a role in it. We have to learn what role is and accept it". Roland said to Amber as he understands about his role about it. Amber nods as she and James understands about it as they are hoping that things will return to peaceful times.

Amber and James sees Roland heading to find Miranda as they are wondering about things. "Amber, why I couldn't stop Sofia and Madeline arguing after dinner? All I did was agreeing with you on the issues after dinner". James said to Amber as he is wondering about it.

Amber looks at James as she is thinking about it. "No offense James being a peace keeper is not your strong suit. Plus I tried to stop Sofia, but she called me out on defending Madeline and Cedric. I know that Madeline is trying to become an individual on her own". Amber said to James as she is wondering what she should do.

James looks at Amber as it is true about it. "You are right about that Amber. Perhaps you can to talk to mom about this and shed some light to things. Maybe she will see that Madeline is starting to become her own person". James said to Amber as he wants her to talk to Miranda. Amber nods as she heads down stairs to go talk to Miranda.

Downstairs, Miranda is in the living room as she sighs as she is holding a stuffed animal toy that once belonged to her. Once in a blue moon, she pulled it out to give her comfort like it many years ago when she first got it. She is reflecting about things in the last four years and into recants months. 'My dad and Elena are right. How could I have been so blind and foolish"? Miranda thought to herself as she notices Amber arriving in the living room. "Amber, what brings you down here"? Miranda asks Amber as she is wondering why she is here.

Amber looks at Miranda as she has a light smile on her face as she notices the stuffed animal. "I wanted to check on you. Plus may we have a heart to heart conversation". Amber said to Miranda as she is wondering about things.

Miranda nods as she looks at Amber as agrees to it. "Sure, may I ask you something? Has Madeline ever confided to you about things"? Miranda asks Amber as she gets the question out.

Amber looks at Miranda as she nods to her as it is exactly that. "Actually yes she has mom. Come to think of it, the first time Madeline ever confided in me got started after the Medusa Stone incident. At first, I thought it was a fluke, but as time goes on she confided in me a lot more that Sofia does not even know about". Amber said to Miranda as she does not gloat about it and being respectful about it.

Miranda is stunned that Madeline has been confided in Amber more than Sofia. "Really, why she never said anything about it to me"? Miranda asks Amber as she is wondering why she is being kept out of it.

Amber looks at Miranda as it is pretty obvious on the answer. "Mom, if Madeline wanted to talk to you about things she wants, Sofia would stick her nose into it and try to get you to change your mind all because Sofia is older than her. Plus, mom be honest, do you see Madeline as an individual with separate feelings, emotions, and opinions or do you see her as fake twin sister to Sofia and an extension of Sofia that has to do everything together"? Amber asks Miranda as she hits her with a tough question as it needed to be asked.

Miranda looks at Amber as she sighs as she realizes that she is completely right. "You are right Amber. I have seen Madeline as a fake twin sister and an extension to her ever since she joined Sofia's grade level and in her class. I was worried that she wouldn't have anyone to guide her in the new classroom at the school in the village. I remember that night about the star being out in the water that you told her about. Sofia did talk to me about not letting Madeline go because she was younger and be past her bedtime. I told her that she will remain at the castle with dad. She looked deeply disappointed. It seemed that Sofia got what she wanted all along. I have forgotten that Madeline is an individual all along". Miranda said to Amber as she has been manipulated by Sofia.

Amber looks at Miranda Amber nods as she looks at Miranda. "That's good, plus mom, how come Sofia wants to to interject herself into things that she shouldn't do? When I saw Spencer heading towards her room, she looked like she was covered in a lot of cupcake frosting yesterday. It is like Sofia wanted to have all of the control on things that is about either her or Madeline. Plus she is being unwanted over sighter". Amber said to Miranda as she brings up about that one.

Miranda sighs as she looks at Amber as has heard about that one earlier at Kimberly's house. "Yes, I learned about what happened in the cupcake fiasco at Kimberly's house. I have seen Spencer crying when Roland, Kimberly, and I caught Madeline taking Spencer but not her starting to cry in front of us about something that happened. Sofia has been controlling things that are her and Madeline centered. Not only that during the spell days, Sofia did try to invite herself to the trip that Cedric was trying to plan just for him and Madeline. On top of that, Sofia did get Roland to cancel it and making Madeline upset. I even told her that Madeline needed to spend some time apart from her. On that day of when Sofia took the special book away from Madeline, I was on Madeline's side and Sofia was dismayed that I was on her side and didn't agree with her like she wanted me to betray Madeline over something that she gotten wrong about. In hindsight, Sofia kind of reminds me of my mother and my estranged grandmother that my mom cut off all contact with many years ago with the controlling and other things. She even disregarded Chloe's feelings when she first came into the castle with Spencer". Miranda said to Amber as she realizes that Sofia is controlling.

Amber looks at Miranda as an nephomancy has been reached to her. "Thank you mom for seeing the light on things about Sofia, I was getting worried that you would not see that light". Amber said to Miranda as she has gotten through to her.

Miranda sighs as she thinks about it. "Your welcome, on that day that we found out that Madeline and Cedric were missing and learned that Madeline was under that spell and Cedric the only one that figured it out, Sofia seemed to get that the book is exclusively belongs to Madeline. Come to think about it, I think that it bothered Sofia that Kimberly gave Madeline that jewelry box and not one for her as well like she is deeply jealous about it. Plus Spencer and Madeline stood for Chloe against Sofia". Miranda said to Amber as she realizes that she is jealous about it.

Amber looks at Miranda as she sees that she has seen the light even deeper. "That's true, plus Spencer kind of reminds me of you mom. When ever I saw Spencer with grand mum, she has taken care her like a mom would. Not only that, she knows how to get on to someone so boldly and fierce like you". Amber said to Miranda as she makes a comment about it.

Miranda looks at Amber as she lightly smiles to her. "Wow, to be honest Amber, I am actually jealous of Spencer myself". Miranda admits to Amber as reveals something to her.

Amber is stunned as she looks at Miranda as she didn't know this. "Really why though I mean she is a maid while you are a queen"? Amber asks Miranda as she is confused and perplexed about it.

Miranda looks at Amber as she lightly smiles to her. "Well, to be honest when I was her age, I had a failing marriage, two kids, my shoe shop while she had a cottage, a job, deeply independent, and all of the personal boundaries she wants. She does not have kids or even a boyfriend. When I was a teenager, I had personal boundaries with things about my life that I wanted to keep my mother out of it. She crushed and steamrolled it while Spencer owns her personal boundaries like a queen herself. It made me so jealous that Spencer is able to keep her personal boundaries when my personal boundaries was shattered to a million of pieces". Miranda said to Amber as she explains about that one.

Miranda looks at Amber as she nods to her. "Yes, I am going to tell Spencer about it, and I also want to introduce you to Chloe. However I do want to tell you that she is very shy of new people and kind of scared. So it will take her some time to get use to new people". Miranda said to Amber as she explains about it.

Amber nods as she looks at Miranda as she is interested. "Let's go", Amber said to Miranda as the two of them got going.

Outside of the castle, Roland sighs as he is trying to find Miranda as a music is being started to play.

How could I have missed

The things about people closest to me

Why I didn't ask about it

When we first dating each other

Was she trying to hide it from me even years after we gotten married

Was there a horrible event that happened to her long before I even met her

That is deeply buried through the many layers within her

I am just trying to fix the trust that I have broken

Yet I am starting to realize that I have made some mistakes with my own children and friends

What can I do to make things right with the people that I truly love

I feel that breeze from my parents to make right again

Miranda is on the way to the castle infirmary as Amber is with her.

How could I have missed it

With the people and children close and around me

The teachings of my mother is more harmful than good

Yet I have foolishly repeated that cycle on my own daughters

That influence continues within them to get that information out from people who are new to them

Yet it hit me in the face on how bad it really is

How could I have missed it

That I am the same with Spencer

That carries painful scars and memories

Yet our lives are so parallel with each other and didn't even know it until now

At same time I share more in common with her and my mother who is no longer with me.

I admit to myself that I miss her than I know

Yet I feel her breeze pointing me that way

Roland and Miranda

We need to learn how to pay attention to things around us

We need to understand that not everything is what seems to be

We also to realize that we all need to learn from our past mistakes for a better future for us, our kingdom, and the Ever Realm

As the song ends, Amber realizes that Miranda and Roland are meant to be together as they need to apologize about things. They arrive to Spencer's room first as they can see that the young woman is restless. "Spencer, why haven't you truly relaxed and fallen asleep yet"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is wondering about it.

Amber looks at Miranda as she is deeply surprised about it. "Wow, I have no idea that you are jealous of Spencer. Plus I can not imagine what it was like for you when you were a teenager mom especially with a mom like Grandmother Josephine". Amber said to Miranda as she realizes that Miranda's life was very different.

Spencer looks at Miranda as she does not realize that Amber is in the room with her. "I am just waiting for Sofia to truly apologize to me. She must be really proud of herself for ruining things all because she was not involved with the project. Yet she told me that I should have let only Kimberly's real family members to make the eulogy at the funeral not a second daughter to Kimberly". Spencer said to Miranda as she explained how Sofia came to visit her after dinner.

Miranda and Amber look at Spencer as she sighs to her as she needs to do this. "Spencer, I promise you that Roland and I will talk to Sofia about her behavior and actions that she has made towards you. I owe you an apology Spencer. I should have realized that Sofia did manipulate Baileywick, me, and Roland into things that will only satisfy her desires. You were trying to tell me that Sofia and Madeline did in fact violated your personal boundaries, but I didn't truly listen to you. Plus I didn't know that truly happened. I also have to be honest with you Spencer. I am actually deeply jealous of you. You had a completely different life from the one that I had before I met and Roland. Yet, you had full control on your personal boundaries, work life, and personal life. Even though my family and I have completely changed your work and personal life, the you still have those personal boundaries like it was the one thing that you had left, and Sofia and Madeline were the ones that crushed that when they are not adults yet. Plus I had no idea that your life and my life are so deeply parallel that we have things in common with each other. I hope you can forgive me, Spencer". Miranda said to Spencer as she is crying.

Spencer looks at Miranda as she lightly smiles back towards her. "You are forgiven Miranda. Plus I was wondering when you were going to admit that to me yourself". Spencer said to Miranda as she figured it out very easily.

Miranda looks at Spencer as she is stunned to learn that she she was waiting for that. "Wait, did you figure out that I am jealous of you? Then why didn't you call me out on like you have called Sofia and Madeline out on things when need be"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is wondering about it.

Spencer looks at Miranda as she shakes her head to her. "Well, calling a queen out can be really messy, people would accuse me of slandering you without proof of it. Plus, it was really obvious especially on that night of the dinner. You talked about it was a bad idea for me to get reunited with Elizabeth, but you didn't really defend me on it. You didn't notice that I was getting uncomfortable with the tough questions. I suspected that you were jealous, but I didn't know the true extent of it. I only call out people when they push me that far". Spencer said to Miranda as she reveals about it.

Miranda looks at Spencer as she sighs as it is something else that she needs to talk to the girls about. "About that Spencer, I was taught that by mother who learned that from her mother. The girls also have been taught that and picked up on that influence to do to other new people including you. I know it is just an excuse but I have repeated that horrible cycle on to them. It is not fair to them, and I was taught that when I was a teenager. My own family does not even know about the painful experiences that I went through when I was a teenager. I still carry the scars from those days to this day". Miranda said to Spencer as she reveals about something about herself to Spencer as Amber is in the room.

Spencer looks at Miranda as she senses that she is opening up her heart. "Miranda, when I look at you, I see a person that doesn't let the painful scars from the past define you like it doesn't define me. Even though I still carry those scars, I have never let it control my entire life. Plus you are one of them as well. We are the same. It is up to the both of us to guide Chloe through the same scars as well". Spencer said to Miranda as she gives her that advice.

Miranda looks at Spencer as she nods as she understands that now. "I understand now. Plus you are right. It is up to us to guide Chloe now". Miranda said to Spencer as Amber is starting to admire her more.

Amber looks at Spencer as she is starting to look up to her. "Spencer, you are so cool. I can't believe that you have been through so much and yet you have the strength to keep going the way it did". Amber said to Spencer as she admires her.

Spencer looks at Amber as she nods to the eldest girl. "I am resilient not submissive, Amber. Plus I am honored that you admire me, and yet you are actually one of my favorite people in the castle. Plus I can tell that you are resilient too". Spencer said to Amber as she reveals that to her.

Amber looks at Spencer as she is surprised to learn that. "Me, but I thought it would be Sofia or at least Madeline"? Amber asks Spencer as she has not been a favorite among other maids.

Spencer looks at Amber as she nods to the eldest Enchancian princess. "Amber you can handle my kind of sarcasm and blunt honesty better than the others in the castle. Plus you can be cold and brutally honest that doesn't sugarcoat the truth sometimes. I admire that you are headstrong and can fight back when need be. The thing I deeply admire about you is that you are willing to save a person that you are not particularly close to even after watching a great sacrifices being made for the good of the kingdom and the Ever Realm". Spencer said to Amber as she deeply admired that about her.

Amber looks at Spencer as she realizing about things. "You mean when I saved Cedric from falling really high up when he broke that spell over Madeline". Amber said to Spencer as she got things right.

Spencer looks at Amber as she deeply nods to her. "That's correct, there is not a lot of people that has saved a person who is not deeply close with. You are a honorable person to have truly done that". Spencer said to Amber as she sees her as an honorable person. Amber looks at Spencer as smiles to her as she deeply thanks her.

Miranda smiles as she can see Amber being a friend to Spencer. "Spencer, I want you to get some rest please. We have a long day tomorrow, and you will be a speaker". Miranda said to Spencer as she wants her to sleep and rest.

Spencer nods as she looks at Miranda. "Alright", Spencer said to Miranda as she tries to relax to go to sleep.

Miranda and Amber went to a different room as Dr. Lucy is outside of the door. The doctor turn as she notices Amber with her. "Hello Queen Miranda, I take it that you will sleep on the spare bed in here tonight". Dr. Lucy said to Miranda as she notices the slippers and the nightgown.

Miranda nods as she looks at Dr. Lucy as she explains to her that she had a fight with Roland. "Yes, I thought if this bear will help her feel more at ease than hiding underneath the blanket. Plus I want to introduce Amber to Chloe and how she does with that, and if she does well, I will introduce James to her in a couple of days". Miranda said to Dr. Lucy as she tells her plans.

Dr. Lucy nods as the approach is good to introduce people slowly to Chloe. "Good, Chloe didn't have as good of a day especially since she has learned about Kimberly's passing. She even asked me if it was her fault that she passed away. When I told her no and why she asked that, she told me that her parents blamed her for her grandparents passing some time ago. Her parents are not fit beyond a shadow of a doubt Miranda". Dr. Lucy said to Miranda as she explains about it.

Miranda looks at Dr. Lucy as she sighs as the young teenager has been through a lot and then some. "That poor girl has been through things no kid or teenager has been through". Miranda said to Lucy as she has been told that she has been through some trauma.

Dr. Lucy nods as they went in the room as Amber noticed a girl underneath the covers. Miranda looks at Chloe as she is holding the bear. "Hey Chloe, this is one of my daughters Amber. You already met Sofia and Madeline". Miranda said to Chloe as she Introducing Amber to her.

Chloe pulls the covers by the mentioning of Sofia's name. "Sofia is not with you right now am I right. Plus I got Madeline mad at me once today. I doubt that I will make a good impression on Amber". Chloe said to Miranda as she is scared of Sofia.

Amber looks at Chloe as she is surprised by the young teenager's word. "No, Sofia is not here. Plus why are you scared of Sofia? I can be scary myself when I am angry, but Sofia is the least scariest person that I know". Amber said to Chloe as she is wondering about it.

Chloe pulls the covers just a little bit from her face as she sees Amber's face. "When I saw Sofia's face, she reminds me of my grandmother Regina. I know that grandmother Regina has passed away when I was a kid. However it felt like a punch to the gut and back stabbed, and yet it is haunting me. Not only that, I am scared of betrayals. Plus Sofia has already betrayed me once". Chloe said to Amber as she explains about it to her.

Amber looks at Chloe as she learns about it as she has never heard of Regina. "I have never heard or meet about her". Amber said to Chloe as she is wondering about her.

Miranda looks at Amber as she sighs as it is something she does not like to talk about. "My mother, your grandmother Josephine cut her and her family off a very long time ago. Plus her parents had children with huge age gaps between them. It is one of the very few things that your Grandmother Josephine did was right in her life, and she is the eldest of the family". Miranda said to Amber as she explains about it.

Amber looks at Miranda as she does not realize that Miranda's grandparents were mean people as she looks at Chloe. "I never realized about that one. I take it she does not know about it". Amber said to Miranda as she is careful not to mention her name in front of Chloe.

Miranda looks at Amber as she shakes her head to her. "No she doesn't know, Amber. I have tried to protect you kids from her and her views. However that teaching of asking tough questions to bring the truth to light at the beginning, it came from your great grandparents". Miranda said to Amber as she she explains about it.

Amber looks at Miranda as she is putting two and two together. Chloe looks at them as she has tears in her eyes. "Yes, my parents always used that as a punishing tool on my sister and me". Chloe said to them as as she crying and upset.

Miranda looks at Chloe as she sees that teaching had a bad and negative consequence on her. "Chloe, I promise you that I will make that rule go away on Sofia and Madeline. Plus I brought you this bear to give you comfort instead of hiding underneath the blanket. It deeply helped me even in my darkest days". Miranda said to Chloe as she hands the bear over to her.

Chloe looks at Miranda as she receives the bear. "Thank you", Chloe said to Miranda as she pulls the cover just a bit more as she got a better look at Amber.

Amber looks at Chloe as she sits with her. "You don't have to live your life in fear right". Amber said to Chloe as she is wondering about it.

Chloe looks at Amber as she shrugs to her as there is more things. "Well yeah it just more than fear that I am dealing with right now. There is that feeling of being a disappointment, a disgrace, worthless, and being ashamed of things that got brought upon myself even when things that happened was not my fault". Chloe said to them as she is squeezing the toy.

Miranda looks at Chloe as she does remind her of her when she was in Chloe's shoes. Amber looks at Chloe as she realizes that she is dealing with more than fear itself. "Oh I am sorry. I truly didn't know that you were dealing with all of that". Amber said to Chloe as she realizes that the teen is going through more than fear of things.

Chloe looks at Amber as she nods as she can tell that she is starting to understand like Madeline and Spencer truly does. "Apology accepted Amber, you are the third person that truly understands that". Chloe said to Amber as she is getting more at ease with her in the room.

Miranda looks at them as she nods as she sees that the meeting has gone a lot better. Amber smiles to her as she is glad to get that approval list. "I am glad that I am on the good list". Amber said to Chloe as she notices that Chloe has pulled more covers away from her.

Miranda nods as it is getting late as they both need to get to bed. "Chloe, in the morning, I will bring a black dress for you to wear for the funeral service alright". Miranda said to Chloe as she will bring a dress for her. Chloe nods as she understands about it.

Amber looks at them as it is getting late as she needs to get to bed. "Good night mom, good night Chloe", Amber said to them as she needs to head to her room. Miranda nods as she also gets changed for bed. She sleeps on the couch in the room as Dr. Lucy brings a pillow and blanket in the room for Miranda.

About an hour later, Roland comes by in the castle infirmary as he is trying to find Miranda. He got a glimpse of Miranda sleeping in the room as Chloe is sleeping. "You will be safe here I promise. I promise that you will not go back to your awful parents. Plus, I promise that no one will make you feel worthless and ashamed again like I was". Miranda said as she is talking in her sleep.

Roland is stunned as he heard what she said as he is a bit confused about it. 'Worthless, ashamed, was this from her first husband or when she left home? I wonder what happened'. Roland thought to himself as he goes up to bed.

The next morning, Queen Miranda is awake as she went back to the main part of the castle to get her dress and a black dress for Chloe. She notices Baileywick as she wanted to know about the cupcakes. "Baileywick, can you tell me about the cupcakes that Spencer had in mind for the party"? Miranda asks Baileywick as she is wondering about it.

Baileywick looks at Miranda as he is thinking about it. "Well, she had red velvet cupcakes with vanilla frosting in the colors of Royal Prep on them, she had spice cupcakes with light purple frosting also vanilla flavor, she had regular vanilla cupcakes with a vanilla yellow frosting in a floral design, and lastly chocolate cupcakes with the royal colors of Enchancia on it. Plus she had the letter M in white vanilla frosting on every cupcake". Baileywick said to Miranda as he explains about it.

Miranda looks at Baileywick as she is surprised to learn about it. "Wow, how many cupcakes did Spencer order"? Miranda asks Baileywick as she is getting the feeling that Spencer thought it too deeply about it.

Baileywick looks at Miranda as he gives her a look. "She ordered 10 dozen cupcakes. When that intentional accident happened and afterwards, I wanted to make things right to Spencer. If I didn't give in to Sofia and fully agreed with her, maybe none of that would have happened". Baileywick said to Miranda as he is blaming himself for it.

Miranda looks at Baileywick as Roland is coming up towards them. He looked like he didn't really sleep all that well last night. "You shouldn't blame yourself for it Baileywick. I admit that things need to make things right with people around me. Plus we can't ask the what if questions about how things could have gone. We will be bargaining with ourselves". Roland said to Baileywick as he acknowledges him and Miranda.

Miranda looks at them as she can tell that Roland didn't sleep that well. "I agree. For now let's get through today and we will have that talk later". Miranda said to Roland as she knows that she is wrong as well in the fight.

As everyone has a light breakfast, they get into the carriages to the church as they have flowers and 3 guest sign in book with them as they get to the church.

At the church, they royal family are here first as the pastor as three rows blocked for them. The three caskets are up the very front with lids completely closed and flags of Enchancia are draped over them. Amber sighs as she looks at her siblings as it feels strange but surreal. "It is all to surreal right now isn't". Amber said to them as she wants to have a peaceful conversation with her siblings.

Madeline nod in agreement as she is standing next to Amber. "Yeah it is though. I mean father has not told us about how they passed away like this". Madeline said to them as she has tears building in her eyes.

Sofia looks at Madeline as she hears that she is calling Roland father not dad. "Maddie, why are you calling dad, father? You can't possibly be mad and not trusting him right now". Sofia said to Madeline as she is wondering why that is.

Madeline frowns as she gives Sofia a look as she does not need this right now. James frowns as this is not the time right now. "Please don't start with this now Sofia. I would not be surprised for the fact that Maddie does not trust you either". James said to Sofia as he is separating them.

Sofia looks at them as she is stunned that James coming between them. "Alright fine", Sofia said to James as she does not like the fact that things are not going back to normal.

Roland sighs as he looks at the kids as the other relatives turn to him and agreement. "Alright, we should head towards the parlor room. I will explain it to all of you". Roland said to them as he knows that he can't keep it from the kids anymore. The family nods in agreement as they head that way. Chloe is with Elena as Spencer is also going to be with the family.

In the parlor room, Roland looks at all of them sitting together as Sofia is away from Madeline and Chloe as Spencer is also sitting next to the young teenage girl. "Your grandfather the first passed away by a silent heart attack that got brought on the deep heartbreak of losing Kimberly. She passed away first, and Roland the first was right by her side. The doctor said that he was crying before he passed away. Plus he was holding Kimberly's hand at that time". Roland said to the family as he explains to them.

Thomas looks at the kids as he knows that he truly loved his first wife. "He stayed loyal to Kimberly to the very end". Thomas said to them as he knows that he will not get to see him again.

Tracey nods as she is heartbroken about Roland the first as her wife Leslie is comforting her. Peter nods as he is holding strong for her. "He was stern and serious man, your grandfather". Peter said to them as he is feeling solemn about him.

The kids look at Roland as Madeline has the question that they want to know. "Then why did grand mum pass away? She kept up with us kids". Madeline said to them as the others want to know it.

Roland looks at the kids as it is a hard question to answer. "Your grand mum passed away from an extended illness. Even though she beat it the first time, it came back again after she was in remission. However it was stronger than before and the special medicine was not working and treatments were not getting any better. By the time, myself, Roland, Miranda, Tilly, and Bartleby learned about it, it was terminal. She was never going to recover". Roland said to the kids as he tells them that truth.

The kids are stunned as they learn that part of the truth. "Then that means, Spencer was taking care of grand mum this whole time. How come she never told you from the beginning of when she was first sick"? Amber asks them as it is a question that Sofia and Madeline would ask.

Spencer looks at them as she has to answer that question. "Your grand mum specifically instructed me not to tell you until she could tell your parents first. Plus Kimberly knew by her telling them, it would have interfere with all of your plans and activities for a bit. It wasn't my place to reveal such information. I followed that to the tee and respected her privacy and personal boundary to the very end". Spencer said to the kids as she reveals about it.

The kids are stunned as they learn that Spencer kept it from them because of instruction from Kimberly herself. "I never realized that she asked you to keep it from us like that for so long, and yet you followed her orders like that". James said to Spencer as he is wondering about it.

Spencer looks at James as she sighs as it was not easy. "Actually, it was not as easy at first. The doctor wanted Kimberly to tell her family about it when she first diagnosed, and not lay the heavy burden on me to keep it from them. Kimberly deeply disagreed with it because it would have put the kid's plans on hold to take care of her. Plus it would have put my safety at risk of Elizabeth because she would have gotten to me a lot sooner and happen as often". Spencer said to them as she revealed that part.

Sofia is stunned as she didn't know or realize about it. Plus she did kind of got it wrong. "You mean this whole time grand mum was protecting you because Elizabeth used to work at the castle in the infirmary and would have gotten to you much sooner if you came to the castle with Kimberly much sooner than it did". Sofia said to Spencer as she realized that the grandmother had a plan for her to stay safe.

Spencer nods as she looks at them as they finally get it. "That's correct, Kimberly didn't want you two to reunite me with Elizabeth back when I thought she was my mother. You wanted to push that on me even when Miranda and Kimberly said not wise to do. Kimberly had her reasons back then and even now". Spencer said to them as she gives the pink wearing amulet girl a harsh glare.

Sofia looks at Spencer as she does not realize that that it was a bad idea all along. She turns to Roland as she is curious about William. "But what about William's passing? You told us not to investigate it". Sofia asks Roland as she is wondering about it.

Roland looks at the kids as he nods as this next part will be mysterious. "While your grandfather the first and Grand mum's passing's are from natural causes, William's passing was not from natural causes. The one responsible is out there some where probably hiding in plain sight". Roland said to them as he knows that things will be tough to investigate.

The kids are stunned to learn about it as they are curious about it. "No wonder you don't want us to investigate it father". Madeline said to Roland as she got an explanation about it.

Roland nods as he looks at the kids as he needs to further explain something else. "Also that is also why I asked for you kids to see anyone being suspicious about an adult, come to get us immediately. We will handle it discreetly. Plus I had additional guards and knights going undercover as funeral service guests and ushers to keep an eye on those who are coming". Roland said to the kids as he had a plan all along.

The kids look at each other as they can understand that now. "I get it now dad". Sofia said to Roland as they wait for the procession to go into church for the service.

Back in the church, Elena, Spencer and Chloe are notices the various people arriving as they are taking various seats in the pews. "It is like everyone in the kingdom and the tri-kingdom area are here. Plus more guest from other kingdoms are here as well". Elena said to the as she spots the royals from the kingdom of Irenba.

Spencer nods as she is wondering about it as it is probably because of the kids. "Well, the kids probably know a lot of the kids here. "That is Princess Hildegard and her family from the Kingdom of Freezenburg, Prince Zander from the kingdom of Tangu, Prince Hugo and his family from the kingdom of Novanima, Princess Cleo from Corninthea", Spencer said to Elena as she has seen them around the castle when they have a play date with the kids and knows about the others as well.

Chloe looks at Spencer as she notices someone in particular as she is getting that uneasy feeling. Elena and Spencer notice it as she is getting scared. "See that man over there that just signed in the guest book"? Chloe asks them as she sees him as she holding the bear in her hands.

Spencer and Elena turn to see the man that Chloe spotted as he is going to find a seat. They got a good look at the man's blonde hair and dark colored eyes with a devilish and almost creepy expression on his face. "Yeah I see him. Do you know who he is"? Spencer asks Chloe as she is wondering about him.

Elena nods as she is getting a really bad vibe about the man. "Something about him has a bad vibe even from all the way over here". Elena said to them as she is wondering more about him.

Chloe looks at Spencer as they man is eyeing a well dressed woman wearing an all black outfit as he has a devilish and very creepy smirk like he has found her. "That's nobleman Alberto Wadesworth of Dominca. He is best friends with my soon to be former dad. It looks like he is eyeing that very well dressed woman for some reason". Chloe said to Spencer as she spotted him as she knows him.

Elena is stunned as she is wondering why he is friends with her soon to be former dad. "The kingdom of Dominica, is that kingdom further than the other kingdoms that are here"? Elena asks them as she is wondering why a person from that kingdom is here.

Spencer looks at Elena as she nods in agreement as something feels off. "Yeah that is right Elena, I am curious what they are doing here though. We need to take a closer look to see why he is here". Spencer said to Chloe and Elena as she spots two people undercover to intercept things.

Chloe nods as she looks at Spencer as Elena agrees with her. Spencer gives a look to an undercover a Chrysta and an undercover deputy to head on over. "Ok", Chloe said to Spencer. The undercover Chrysta and deputy nod as they went on over.

Near some pews, the man named Alberto looks at the woman as he is going to talk to the woman paying her respects. "I never thought ashamed person like you is not allowed to attened event like this. There are too many people here to learn your secret, my darling one". Alberto said to the well dressed woman as he is talking fancy towards her like he is flirting with her.

The well dressed woman looks at the man as she is very confused as she does not know what he is talking about. "I beg your pardon. Plus I am not your darling one". The well dressed woman said to Alberto as she has never seen him before at all.

Alberto looks at the well dressed woman as it is the wrong person. He quickly realizes that he mistaken her for someone else. "You are just as a worthless and deeply ashamed person like my darling one". Alberto said to the well dressed woman as he is about to say some obscene things towards her when an undercover deputy get to Alberto in time as he drags him out and gets kicked out of the funeral and sent to the Constable's office to a holding cell.

The undercover Chrysta got to the woman in time as she silently thanks Spencer for it. "Are you ok"? Chrysta asks the well dressed woman as she is wondering who is that man.

The well dressed woman nods as he looks at them. "Yes I am. I just got to Enchancia and all the sudden that man came up to me and creepy flirted with me. He must have mistaken me for someone else I am glad that other man kicked him out so quickly. The royals must have boost the security for the funerals ". The well dressed woman said to Chrysta as she is wondering what was that about.

Chrysta looks at the well dressed woman as she notices something about her that has similar resemblances to Queen Miranda. 'She does look alike Miranda, but I am not totally sure about this one'. Chrysta thought to herself as she knows the reason why for the additional security. "They must have planned for this". Chrysta said to the well dressed woman as she does not want to confront her about her identify. The well dressed woman thanks her a sit in the back as she feels that it is not right for her to sit up the front row since her dad is one of the people honored in the funeral.

Elena looks at them as everything seems to be ok. "Everything seems to be ok. They gotten rid of that man and the woman is not bothered by him anymore". Elena said to them as she is wondering why that man even showed up in the first place.

Spencer looks at them as she is getting a strange feeling about the man. "Yeah although, that man does remind me of a certain prince like he is the grown up version of him". Spencer said to them as she needs to tell Miranda about this later on. Elena agrees with Spencer as they including Chloe takes their seats in the second row as Spencer is one of the speakers for the eugoly

About an hour later, the funeral gets started as the royal family of Enchancia comes in with the procession as the three caskets are closed with flags drapped over them. Baileywick is the first one to speak. "I have known William for a very long time. He was like a mentor to me when I first started out. He always told me to be one step ahead of the royal children and be resourceful when something comes up. He was like a kid at heart and enjoyed being around them. It must have what kept him alive. However seeing him with James, Amber, Sofia, and Madeline for the first time, it was like the old days when he kept up with Roland and Tilly and clicked in him all over again. I thought that he will be back at the castle again once more just like old times. However that didn't happen because the light he shown in the room is gone taken from us too soon. It is a mysterious passing that deserves answers and justice for him. William will Rest In Peace when that responsible one is found and tried by the Enchancia law". Baileywick said to them as he finishes his eulogy

Spencer went next as she looks at the crowd. "What Baileywick said is true, a light has been taken away from us in passing. Kimberly was a light to everyone that she meets and come across. Her smile can always cut through a person's bad day regardless. The expression life is a full of surprises is true because she has done all sorts of things in life that would even surprise her son Roland like participating in flying horse shows, skydiving in the kingdom of Cariza, snorkeling in the Great Golden Reef in the kingdom of Norberg, canoeing Amora River in the kingdom of Amora, and watching a Satu wrestling match in the kingdom of Satu. She has told me all of these trips and more in the years that I have known her. However the greatest thing that Kimberly has told me about is her four grandkids. She always said that each one of her grandkids will bring some sort of change in Enchancia that we as a citizen will adapt to and grow from. She told me that Sofia and Madeline are the voices for the magical beings and creatures in the kingdom of Enchancia. The saying to have friends in really high places is true and very evident in those two. She always told me when I was working at her house when one door closes and other one open in regarding about a pathway for the future. However she told me that she even explained it to James, he deeply understood and realized that the pathway for him is to become a knight that has pure honor to defend the kingdom. She said that Amber is the future queen that will rise one day to rule Enchancia with fairness, grace, and dignity. Yet it the experiences as a princess that will bring new ideals to Enchancia that will stand out from other kingdoms. When she told me about Roland and Miranda, she told me that they are a match in ways that should prosper and protect. The strength between them is like no other. They always protect each other in tough and dire times and always been there even when it mattered most. She always told me Miranda sees the human side of a person and sees who they are as an individual and not what they have done in the past and present. She always told me that Roland is a man who can follow through on things. Yet, he is loving towards his kids including his step kids who loves them equally without showing favorites. She always told me that Tilly is a woman that sees the unique things in everything. She seeks out the adventure and wilder on the wild side of things. Yet when Kimberly told me about Bartleby, she told me that he has a unique soul that clicks perfectly with Tilly. As she told me about Baileywick, she said that he will want to help me with things. I didn't want to believe her. I honestly didn't know what to except when I saw him for the first time. Yet, Kimberly words was true when he came with more help. She even told me that he willl step up even when he was supposed to having a day off. When she told me about Roland the first, she had angry in her eyes towards him for the things he had done. She was a protective person and believed in the true love between Roland and Miranda. Yet when he finally came to see her , he was a man that got defeated by the truth that finally come into the light that has longed into the darkness by those who wanted to hurt Miranda. Yet as he made things right with Roland and Cedric, the love story between Kimberly and Roland the first gotten reignighted like never gotten blown out in the first place. Marriage is not always easy, but it always worth fighting for and to over come the storms that faces it. That is true between Kimberly and Roland the first. Lastly, she has always told me about Cedric. She told me that his soul has been rocked so many times that she deeply worried about him the most. However when she told me that Cedric has deeply changed for the better, she knows that the soul that was once rocked is now getting stronger by the kindness and love by Sofia and Madeline. To the new people that she got to meet in the final year of her life, she told me that they are the truly good people that will stand by her family to help them in these trouble times and the years beyond. Her light continues on even when she is not here to witness physically but she will hear you in the wind and sky above". Spencer said to the crowd as almost of them does not have a dry eye in the church

Roland went up last as he is doing the eulogy for his dad. "Wow, I do not know how to follow up with that it what Spencer said was true; my mother was a light to be reckoned with. My father was also a light to be reckoned with as well. He didn't take it too kindly to those that messed with Enchancia. My father as stern as he was, he did love me and Tilly and the kids. He had to swallow his pride when he got things wrong, and yet he was beaming with pride to see the kids once more". Roland said to them as he talks about Roland a bit more. After Roland speaks, the service last two more hours with various prayers and songs.

As the funeral service is over, the family got into carriages as they went to Kimberly's house for the first meal. At Kimberly's house, the kids are playing while the adults are in the house, Roland went to Ernesto as he pulls him aside away from everyone to talk in private. "Ernesto, I need to ask you something about Miranda". Roland asks Ernesto as he wants some insight about things.

Ernesto looks at Roland as he is wondering what is going on. "What would that be Roland? You look kind of concerned about something". Ernesto asks Roland as he is willing to listen about things.

Roland looks at Ernesto as this question needs to be asked. "Ernesto, when Miranda left home, do you recalls if either your mother or Enrique filled out paper work for Miranda to drop out of school? Plus did either one of them fill out some sort of leave of absence when she was sent to the group home in Norberg"? Roland asks Ernesto as he is wondering about something.

Ernesto looks at Roland as it is something that he wanted to know. "Well, when Miranda was sent to the group home, mother did sign some paper work for a leave of absence so school work will be transferred to the group home and to fill out the date when Miranda was expected to return to school. From the date, it was two days after she came back home to give birth to her baby. Mother didn't want her to even rest and recuperate from giving birth or deal the post partum stuff. She just push her back into school like nothing even happened. Not only that, mother did push her towards an arranged marriage on her after getting birth as well. When Miranda had that fight with them, she left home and never came back to school like mother expected her to. However about two days after Miranda left home, Rosa and I were called into the headmaster's office, he asked us if everything was ok at home and with Miranda. When Rosa told him no and told him that Miranda left home, the head master told us that he knew that it was too soon for Miranda to return to school even after giving birth and giving it up for adoption. He even tried to talk to mother about it and consider having her come back at the first of the year to get some counseling for the things that she went through. Mother refused to do that. That is when the head master told us that a man who was not our parents dropped off full intention on dropping out forms that very morning. It even had the official royal seal of Dominca on the papers itself. He even talked to our parents after school on that day. Mother straight up denied having any knowledge about it. My dad was furious that someone did that without his knowledge and permission and he was angry that mother expected Miranda to go to school so soon after having a baby and giving it up for adoption". Ernesto said to Roland as he tells him everything he remembered about it.

Roland looks at Ernesto as he remembers about the talk last night with Elena and Enrique. "Enrique said that he and his ex-wife had no knowledge about Miranda never graduating. Although, it is rather concerning that the kingdom of Dominica is involved with it". Roland said to Ernesto as he is wondering about it.

Ernesto nods as he looks at Roland. "I understand. To this day, I still don't know who that man was that had those forms dropped off". Ernesto said to Roland as it is a head scatcher to this very day. Roland and Ernsto nods as they went to the dining room.

In a different room, Spencer pulls Miranda aside as Chloe and Elena are with her as they have to tell her about it. "Miranda, before the service gotten started, we spotted one individual man that Chloe was the one that knows him. Does a man named Alberto Wades worth of Dominca mean anything to you"? Spencer asks Miranda as she is wondering about him.

Miranda is stunned as she hears that name again for the first time in a long time. "Unfortunately yes Spencer, I never thought that he would come much less. I am shocked that he even came. I need to talk to Roland about this. Do not say anything to the kids about it". Miranda said to Spender as she gives her instructions about it. Spencer nods as she understands about it.

Spencer nods as she understands the orders as she needs to tell her about it. "Well, when he was there, he gotten a different woman mistaken for someone else, the guy was removed by a man and taken inti custody". Spencer said to Miranda as she further explains about it.

Miranda looks at Spencer as she is getting uneasy about things. "I see. I am glad that he gotten into custody. I want you to discreetly fill Roland in about it. Miranda said to Spencer as the timing is all off for new things to come out.

Spencer nods as she went to a different room to fill in Roland about the suspicious person. He frowns as this is the first time he has heard about this person. "Thanks Spencer, I will talk to Constable Myles about this man". Roland said to Spencer as he is wondering more about him. Spencer thanks him as they went towards dinner.

The kids are going towards the dining room as they are oblivious to what is going on. "Hey Jennifer, do you think Amber and Madeline will be alright? They hardly ate breakfast this morning". Olivia asks Jennifer as she is wondering about that one.

Jennifer looks at Olivia as Roland is noticing it. "I think they will be though. They just need some time. Plus you hardly ate after your grandmother died remember". Jennifer said to Olivia as she reminds her about it.

Olivia looks at Jennifer as it is completely true about it. "That's true Jennifer", Olivia said to Jennifer as they went inside to eat. Throughout dinner, Madeline and Amber picked at their meal as they are sitting with the other kids. The adults are talking about various memoires about Kimberly and Roland the first especially when they first meet. The kids smile as they are wondering about them in a deeper level.

After dinner, everyone is back at the castle as they decide to hold off the burial and the will reading for a couple of days. Spencer and Chloe are back in the castle infirmary to get some sleep while the kids are getting ready for bed. Plus everyone else is also winding down for bed as well. In Roland and Miranda's bedroom, Miranda is already in her night clothes as she went to her closet as she is looking for something. As she grabs a box, it has some official documents that she had when she was a teenager. Roland looks at Miranda as he knows that he needs to apologize about things. "Miranda, I owe you an apology. I should have never jumped to the wrong conclusions about you dropping out of school. I just didn't know what to expect to learn about you that you kept it to yourself all this time. Yet, I know that it must have been really painful for you to talk about". Roland said to Miranda as he is truly remorseful about what happened in the fight.

Miranda looks at Roland as she lightly smiles to him as she is sorry about things as well. "Apology accepted Roland, and I owe you an apology as well. You are right about things too especially about that rule. I have been foolish to teach Sofia and Madeline that it was ok to try to get the truth about from by asking the tough questions. I should have known and realized that it had negative impacts on other people. Plus, that influenced the girls to do it to new people that came into their lives. I also realize that Madeline is an individual and need to be seen as one not as an extension or a fake twin to Sofia. I didn't realize that keeping the two together all the time will result with Madeline pushing back on things. I learned that my life and Spencer' s life are completely parallel to each other. We don't let our scars from our past take over our own lives. I even admitted that I am jealous of her. Plus, I realize and understand that Sofia has been manipulating people to make things work out for her and not so much for the other person. It has felt like a lot of truth came out. When I was visting with Chloe, Amber was with me to meet her for the first time. Chloe does remind me of me when I was far away from home. I even had those same feelings that she is dealing with right now". Miranda said to Roland as she knows that she can help Chloe.

Roland looks at Miranda as he also accepts her apology. "Apology accept Miranda, plus what is all of these papers? Also, what did happen after you left home"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering what kind of things Miranda went through in her life.

Miranda looks at Roland as she sees trust and love in his eyes. "When I left home, I was in a mess from losing my first born son. I was still angry with my parents mostly at my mother for spring who will be my arrange marriage partner will be. I was mad at my dad for going along with the arrange marriage. Plus I was feeling sad and empty about my first born son. It was like my mother wanted me to forget about my first born son. I traveled by the day but when night time came, I slept outside and watched the stars. However about four months that I was on my own, I experienced a horrible ordeal. One night, I was in a different kingdom and going to get ready for bed. All of the sudden I gotten ambushed from behind and attacked, it felt like it came out of nowhere. When I heard his voice, I knew who it was. I tried to run but he pinned me down and tied me up. He even had strange orbs that kept my hands and feet together. He was angry that I left home, and he was very angry that I didn't even bother coming back to school. He told me that his dad took care of the dropping out of school for him and me because he wanted him to find me and bring me home. My attacker told me that I was worthless and ashamed person for having a baby with someone else's that wasn't him. He forced himself on top of me. I screamed No to him but he didn't stop. He had this other orb and placed it on my backside. I screamed and cried to him to stop. He didn't care at all and said that if I was back in Gladiz right now, all of this would not have happened and be enjoying our wedding night. I felt sick to my stomach. After he was done with that orb, he forced himself on top me again. I thought I was going to pass away when I heard dogs coming barking at us. My attacker frowned and didn't realize that he will be caught this soon and took the orbs with him. He left me there and gotten away. I was crying and hurt. I passed out in those woods. When I came too, I was in a castle infirmary and I saw a nice woman who stayed with me. I was scared of any man that came in the room because of what my attacker did to me. I gotten the counseling for the attack and losing my first born son that my mother refused for me to get at the advice of the head master. The woman gave me this bear to comfort me and explained to the female doctor what my attacker did to me. I was in the castle infirmary for five months. I didn't want to see my parents or my siblings because I was deeply ashamed for what that attacker did to me. I honestly didn't know that my attacker's father took care of the dropping out of school. On the day that I left the castle infirmary, the woman took me to her shoe shop in Freezenburg and I learned how to make shoes. I saw the dogs that came to scare my attacker off. The woman explained to me that my attacker never came back to that kingdom because they have special laws that protect victims of the kind of attack that I have been through. The king and queen granted a special royal grant to the woman that helped me for me to learn a trade skill in her home kingdom and sent that information to my old school about what happened. I never knew what it came out from it at my old school. Meanless to say, I learned how to make shoes and dresses from her and gotten to know each other. She taught me how to defend myself in case if anything happened. I gotten nightmares about that attack but she helped me through it. The mark that I gotten in that attack healed but it never went away like it was done with a magical item. It was the day after my 18th birthday that she passed away in her sleep. She left her shop to me. I was grateful to her and in the documents that she kept from me until after she died, it was the royal grants that the woman had for me when I was in the castle infirmary for five months, a couple of letters from my dad and the headmaster at the school that I went to, and news that my attacker gotten expelled from school. I felt relieved that he gotten punished for it". Miranda said to Roland as she shows him the mark that her attacker placed on her.

Roland is stunned as he sees the upside down heart mark with her name and the attackers name on it. "Oh my, I had no idea that you went through that and didn't tell me. Did you get pregnant with that guy's baby"? Roland asks Miranda as he was wondering about it.

Miranda looks at Roland as she shakes her head. "No, doctors checked me every week after the attack and took special medicine. The only pregnancy that I had after that horrible ordeal was my pregnancy with Sofia with my first husband". Miranda said to Roland.

Roland nods as he looks at Miranda. "Did he ever knew about the attack"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.

Miranda looks at Roland as she shakes her head to him. "No, I only told him about my first born son. There was a lot of time that went we were apart. I couldn't bring myself telling him about what happened in the attack". Miranda said to Roland as she grab the papers showing him the royal grants.

Roland looks at the papers as he is stunned that Miranda had these papers. He looked at the ones in the kingdom that she got attacked. "You were in the kingdom of Amora when this happened". Roland said to Miranda as he realized that Miranda was in a different kingdom.

Miranda nods as she looks at the papers as it does bring back memories. "Yeah, I never had the heart to visit there after what happened. I didn't know that there are laws that protected victims like me back then". Miranda said to Roland as she does remember about those days.

Roland looks at Miranda as he is wondering about the person that attacked her. "The person that attacked you back then, his name was Alberto Wadesworth, wasn't it". Roland said to Miranda as he wants to comfirm things about it.

Miranda looks at Roland as she nods to him as she is starting to cry. "Yes it was. When I heard that he was there but gotten kicked out, it felt like a punch to the gut. I even heard that he mistaken a woman for me though". Miranda said to Roland as he is wondering what the guy is doing here.

Roland looks at Miranda as he agrees with her deeply as he also heard about him. "I got a bad feeling that this guy reminds me of King Edward's son. Plus, it makes me worried if that boy went after Chloe as well". Roland said to Miranda as he has a lot of concerns about things.

Miranda looks at Roland as she is wondering the same thing. "It is uncertain if she does have any experience with that boy or not Roland. Plus if it does come out that he has gone after Chloe, we need to increase Madeline's fighting skills and to learn to defend herself against him". Miranda said to Roland as she is wondering what she should do.

Roland looks at Miranda as he also agrees with her on another level. "I agree with that Miranda. Plus we need to get you through school as well Miranda. Don't you want to be graduated"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondeirng about it.

Miranda looks at Roland as she nods to him. "I do Roland. I was too ashamed to talking about it with my first husband especially when I got pregnant with Sofia. My time got devoted to her and raising her it got placed on the back burner and it got placed on the back burner even deeper when Madeline showed up. However when I learned about Spencer and her schooling experience and meeting Chloe and the lack of school she is missed made me realize that I couldn't hide it or be ashamed about it anymore". Miranda said to Roland as she knows now that she should not be ashamed for it.

Roland looks at Miranda as he smiles to her as the two of them are overcoming their first fight. "Don't worry Miranda, you are still my queen. Thank you for opening up about when you left home. Plus I do deeply forgive you". Roland said to Miranda as he forgives her.

Miranda looks at Roland as she is stunned to hear that he said that to her. She has tears in her eyes as she is starting to cry. Roland looks at her as he comforts her. "Thank you Roland, I do forgive you as well", Miranda said to Roland as she is crying.

Roland looks at Miranda as he is hugging her. "Your welcome, this will stay behind closed doors. I love you and you are not worthless to me". Roland said to Miranda as he kisses her.

Miranda nods as she looks at Roland. "Goodnight Rollie", Miranda. As the two sleeps, two magical gem shaped crystals appear on their night stand as the both of them feel a warm magic over the both of them. For Miranda, it is a rain drop shape with a sword on the middle as it is ocean blue and white. For Roland, it is also a rain drop shape but with a trident on the middle as it is also ocean blue and white.

Back in the Mystic Isles, a the far most isle, it is called the Isle of Spirits as it is a connection point with the Spirit World. The spirits of Kimberly and Roland the first has arrived as they are adjusting to things right away as they see other ghosts greeting them as they are happy. "This place is very lively for various ghosts". Roland the first said to Kimberly as the both of them have been filled in about the place that they are at.

Kimberly looks at Roland the first as they are at the park of the viewing as they see a lot of ghost looking at screens of Ever a realm and the rest of mystic isles. "I know what you mean dear. I am not any more pain and never going to be apart from you again". Roland the first said to Kimberly as they explore around the isle as they chose to help newly departed spirits to get to the isle of spirits with the spirit carriers.

Kimberly nods as they are wondering about the third person that also departed on the same night as them. "But still, it made me wonder what happened to William though to end up here". Kimberly said to Roland the first as they are searching for him.

As they got some leads, they notice the ghostly spirit of Josephine arguing with two more ghost and a spirit carrier guard as it is different part of the isle. "I have waited my whole life to be reunited with William when I was still alive, and now you are telling me that his death was not from natural causes, and I can't see him right now because the one responsible for his death has not been identified yet". Josephine said to the spirit carrier named atlas.

Atlas looks at Josephine as he sighs as the two ghosts are friends of hers when they are still alive. "Josephine, please, it is against regulations to release a unnatural cause of death ghost to be out with the rest of you. His ghostly spirit is still trapped". Atlas said to Josephine as it is rules in the isle.

Josephine frowns as she glares at Atlas as she is frustrated. "My parents has kept me from William who is my first love and trapped me in that arrange marriage that had a strict divorce clause that strictly forbade my ex husband and I could even date again after we broken up when they were still alive. If you are not going to let me visit William, I am going to haunt the Enchancia Castle". The ghost of Josephine said to Atlas as she leaves the area.

Roland the first is stunned as he is wondering if they are going to stop her. "Kimberly dear, should we stop her from haunting the castle"? Roland the first asks Kimberly as he is wondering about it.

Kimberly looks at Roland the first as she shakes her head to him. "No, I say we go help her with it. It is not going to help me rest in peace with the one responsible for William's passing. Also, there is one other castle that needs to be haunted as well". Kimberly said to Roland the first as she takes off and leave the Isle of Spirits as Roland the first are following the ghost of Josephine back to the Ever Realm.
