Chapter 15

Next Day – The Royal Yacht

Liz was asleep in their room and Max couldn't sleep, he was worried about a lot of different things. Max was in the Lounge area of the ship looking out the window watching the stars go by and thinking. Tory was walking by the Lounge and saw him. "Your Highness…is something wrong?"

"No…I'm just thinking."

"Oh." Troy turned to leave but then Max asked him a question he turned back around. "Troy, you said that you had a daughter on earth."

"Yes, Evie."

"How is she?"

"Good…she is married and has three children."

"Do you see her much?"

"I have only seen her a few times in her life." Max looked up surprised at what Troy had said, "What?"

"Her mother is completely human and we thought that it would be best for her if I stayed on Antar. However, she received her powers when she was 15 and she found out what she was. My present to her was a cube that I could talk to her with."

"It must have been hard on you missing major times in her life."

"The hardest was when she was a baby missing her grow up, but I was able to see her wedding and give her away and my last visit was about a year ago, to see my grandchildren."

"I just keep thinking on how Claudia isn't going to grow up like Liz and I and knowing her grandparents and have the life that we did. We don't know how long we are going to be on Antar. We could be there for a few months to years."

"It's true we don't know how long your going to be here. That's up to you."

"What do you mean?"

"Antar is your planet; you can come and go as you please you don't have to stay on this planet to rule. You can setup councilmen to oversee the rules and regulations that you set."

Max thought about this and it wasn't a bad idea. With this plan they could be there just until he could get it set up and they all would be able to return back to Earth.

"I'm going to need to think about this."

"Take all the time you need. If you need anything just let me know."

"I will. Thank you, Troy."

"You're welcome, your highness."

Troy left Max to his thoughts. Soon after Troy left he went back to his quarters.

About a Week Later

The royal Yacht was arriving on Antar. The planet is elated about the arrival of the King and Queen. The retired Queen was busy trying to get the mansion in order so the servants would know what to expect and what was expected from them. When the Royal Yacht was in orbit around Antar, Max, Liz, Jenna, Troy, and a few of the other crewmembers boarded the transport ship that would take them on to the planet. When they disembarked from the transport ship there was a crowd full of people waiting for them. Troy went up in front and the crowd and said, "My I present King Max and Queen Liz of Antar.

Max and Liz stepped forward and smiled. However, his smile faded and he looked at Liz she was tired, he could feel it, the early wakeup call, the travel on the transport ship had warn her out. But what amazed him the most was that even though she was tired she was still waving and smiling to the crowd of people. After it was over Max looked back at her and this time however she wasn't smiling. "You're tired." All she didn't was nod and rest her head on Max's shoulder.

"Jenna." – Max

"Yes, your highness.'

"Could you please show us to our room?"

"Sure, follow me."

Jenna went upstairs with Max and Liz following her. When they got to the third door on the left she opened it and said, "This is your room." Max and Liz both said, "Thank you." After Jenna had left Max and Liz couldn't believe how big it was. When you come in was the sitting room and to the left and right was a bedroom. Liz lying down and fell asleep soon after looking around. Max was lying with her when he heard a knock on the door. He got up and answered it. "Troy."

"I just thought that you would like to know that the Antarian has just entered Antar's atmosphere and your sister and friends should be here in about an hour."

Max went to bed and slowly woke Liz up to tell her that their friends will be here an about an hour.
