Madelin : The Old Wedding Invitation
In the Kingdom of Gladiz, a family is getting together for dinner as several families are living in one giant mansion. The matriarch of the family is sitting at the head of the table as she sighs the arguments from last night have resulted in a daughter in law has left home without saying goodbye to her daughter. As the huge family eats dinner, the elderly woman sighs as she got up from the table as she leaves the table, and went outside. She looks at the full moon that is out as a song is starting to play
I have been deeply foolish for the longest time
Been set in my old fashion ways by my extremist parents
But now it seems that I have created another monster
One of my children's spouses unleashed revelations in my own house
About my daughter that wasn't taken away from me at birth
Now I know that she is still alive out there
It terrifies me to wonder if and when she sees me again
But I have come to realize that she has gone up and beyond what I have wanted for her
She was a person that followed the wind that took her like on the waters of the boat and even on the ground
My only wish is to see her and make things right
It is a wish of a mother that stays in my heart
Miranda back in the Enchancia Castle as she just put the kids to bed for the night
As I look up at the full moon in the night sky
There are so many nights when I needed my mother
But I had to remind myself of the bad things to me
Yet there were things that happened to me
Even though so much time has gone between us
I even dream that she is ready to apologize for what she has done
I wish that she was there on my wedding day to King Roland
But her opinion and views still has not changed even after all these years
Back at the house in Gladiz, a woman named Lady Agatha also looks up at the full moon as she is holding a bright snowflake memento sentimental item in her hands
As I look up at the full moon tonight
I always thought about you my little baby girl
That was stolen from me from my arms
Even though life has taken me to so many places
There hasn't been a day that you were not in my heart and mind
I have never stopped searching for you like a mother does
I still have so many questions about what happened to you
It is a mother's wish to be reunited with you
As the song ends, a man named Enrique went toward Lady Agatha and kisses her on the lips. He is holding the wedding invitation in his hands as it was for their wedding two years ago. "Josephine always said that the truth always comes out to the light. I just got a feeling that this truth will be found in the most unexpected places". Enrique said to Lady Agatha as he is thinking about what his ex-wife has said over the years that they were married and with their kids who are now grown adults and families of their own.
Lady Agatha looks at Enrique as she nods as she thinks about it. "Enrique, it may come even sooner than you think it would be". Lady Agatha said to Enrique as the two are watching the full moon together.
Enrique nods as he looks at Lady Agatha as is wondering about something else as he is reflecting on the wedding two years ago. "Yeah, I get a feeling that there will be more surprises this year and for the upcoming school year". Enrique said to Lady Agatha as that gut feeling inside about it.
Lady Agatha looks at Enrique as she can tell about something else. "Enrique I could tell you weren't happy on our wedding day two years ago". Lady Agatha said to Enrique as she can tell about it.
(Enrique nods as he looks at Lady Agatha as he wasn't too happy on his wedding day. )
"I know. It's just ever since the truth about Miranda being dead is a bad vindictive lie yesterday, I have been kicking at myself all day today. Not only that I saw Olivia overhearing the argument between her parents last night and the moment that Renee left. I have searched for Miranda for so many years and then the so-called passing and the elaborate lie that got told to us. It felt like a piece of my heart went away for the longest time and the. All of the sudden, the family tree scroll reveals the truth". Enrique said to Lady Agatha as he has been beating himself over it.
Lady Agatha is comforting Enrique as she understands things. "I am sure that you will see Miranda again dear". Lady Agatha said to Enrique as she is giving him hope about it.
Enrique nods as he looks at Lady Agatha. "Yeah, although Rodrigo and Rebecca sat Miranda Louise down and told her that her namesake is alive. She is through the roof with excitement". Enrique said to Lady Agatha as he knows that things will be exciting. Enrique nods as they continue to watch the night sky as they have no idea that they will be getting unexpected visitors the very next day
...
The next morning at the Enchancia Castle, Cedric is watching the sunrise as he has been awake for a while now as he has been thinking about the dream that he had. He sighs as he remembers the night he was brought back home safe and sound and brought into the castle infirmary. However, the news of her passing has shaken them to his core. Miranda spots Cedric sitting there as she is deeply surprised to see him like this. "Cedric, why are you sitting out here this early in the morning"? Miranda asks Cedric as she is getting the feeling that something is wrong.
Cedric looks at Miranda as he is glad that it is not Roland as he probably wouldn't listen to him. "Queen Miranda, do you believe in fate"? Cedric asks Miranda as he is wondering if she believes in fate.
Miranda looks at Cedric as it is an unusual question to ask this early in the morning. "Yes I do, it gives me Madeline on my birthday. Why is everything alright with you Cedric"? Miranda asks Cedric as she is wondering if something is bothering him.
Cedric looks at Miranda as he turns to her as needs to open up to her. "I had a really strange dream last night. The first part of it was awful, but the second part of it was really strange and unusual. That's where I saw the ghost of Madeline's birthmother trapped in some sort of strange mirror. She told me that she paid the ultimate price to protect Madeline, me, and everyone in the entire Ever Realm, and Mystic Isles and it was something for the greater good. It has been a huge mystery in the last few years, but to this day, no one knows where it took place. I have a feeling that it has been underneath everyone's nose this whole time. Not only that, her passing has greater affected me in ways that I didn't think it would be. She was the one that saved my life over 14 years ago, and I was the one that saved her when we were kids ". Cedric said to Miranda as he reveals it.
Miranda looks at Cedric as she is stunned by this as she didn't know or even realize this before. "A few years ago, oh wow, that could have been the person that passed away. Plus I do recall someone playing a song with a flute. Sofia, Madeline, and I did hear it, but it was only me and Madeline that had a great effect. It didn't have much effect on Sofia though". Miranda said to Cedric as she thinks back on it.
Cedric looks at Miranda as he is deeply surprised about it. "Wow, this can't be a coincidence but Roland, myself, Baileywick, Amber, and James also heard it as well. However, it deeply affects me in a huge devastating way. However, I am convinced that a certain raven knows about it and never told me anything about it". Cedric said to Miranda as he is getting the feeling that Wormwood knew about it.
Miranda looks at Cedric as she is a bit confused about what he just said. "Umm Cedric, Wormwood can't talk? So how is that even possible"? Miranda asks Cedric as she is wondering about it.
Cedric looks at Miranda as he sighs as he needs to come clean about this. "Queen Miranda, I accidentally gave Wormwood the ability to speak and a visit to Hexley Hall a while back. It was before school ended for the year. Plus, I am going to tell you something in extreme confidence. Last night in my strange dream especially in the first part, he told me things that he knew about what happened to me over 14 years ago and the lady that saved my life. I have a son somewhere in the Ever Realm ok". Cedric said to Miranda as he blurted it out to her.
Miranda is stunned as she looks at Cedric as she has never heard him talking about it. "What, you have a son in the Ever Realm somewhere"? Miranda asks Cedric as she is deeply surprised about it.
Cedric looks at Miranda as he needs to open up to her about it. "Yes, I do. When I was saved and brought back here, I was in a huge mess and deeply traumatized from what my capture did to me. My memories were blocked and suppressed for many years until after the lady that saved me passed away. Over the years, I have gotten those memories back in really bad nightmares. I never told anyone about it, especially my dad and King Roland. I was never in a romantic place with my son's mother but she forced herself on me back then. The lady that saved me, extended her mercy and grace towards my son because he is innocent of it and he deserved to have a normal life despite the choices his mother made against me. The case was one of the most heinous magical crimes against sorcerers in the entire Ever Realm that the Grand Magical Council has ever conducted. The lady that saved me also told me that she advocated for my son to be placed in an adoptive family that didn't have any connection to his birth mother via familial relations or powerful friendship ties. Plus if he was placed with me all those years ago, it wouldn't have helped with my recovery in the slightest. However, she told me that his adoptive parents died and the people behind her disappeared sure that my son is with those who have some sort of friendship ties to his birth mother and some sort of evil society. To be honest with you, I didn't know that the lady who saved me did all of that until she told me in the dream itself". Cedric said to Miranda as he reveals things to her. He even shows her a magical mark that the heinous woman gave him while he was held captive.
Miranda is stunned as she looks at the old magical mark on Cedric's shoulder. The design is a heart with a woman's name in the center of it. She thinks deeply about the mark that she got years ago with a different man's name as well when he did it to her. "Woah, I had no idea that you have been through all of that Cedric. The lady that saved you must have deeply thought about what the emotional consequences are going to be like for you back then Cedric". Miranda said to Cedric as she is wondering about it.
Cedric nods as he looks at Miranda as he is wondering about something else as well. "Yeah, she did. Queen Miranda, do you think that I can find a better purpose in life"? Cedric asks Miranda as he is wondering about it as he is struggling with his evil desires as well.
Miranda looks at Cedric as she is very confused by the question. "I am sure that your time will come soon. However, why do you ask about that now"? Miranda asks Cedric as she is getting the feeling that something is going on with him on a deeper level.
Cedric nods as he looks at Miranda as he nods. "Yes well, plus Queen Miranda, if anything happens that involves Grimtrix or even Wormwood revealing awful things about me in front of King Roland, I am going to do whatever it takes to own up to my past mistakes, especially in the last four years on my own". Cedric said to Miranda as it is a major clue on what it could be.
Miranda looks at Cedric in a naïve way as she does not realize what is going to happen soon. "I am sure that Roland will listen and understand". Miranda said to Cedric as she thinks that Roland will understand.
Cedric looks at Miranda as he shakes his head to her as it will be very bad. "No he wouldn't", Cedric said to Miranda as he is very serious about it. He walks away from her as he is deeply conflicted about things. He heads back to the castle as he is deeply in thought about things.
Miranda is deeply puzzled by what Cedric told her as she also heads back to the castle. She went into her office. She sighs as she looks at the date on the calendar circled red she sighs as she knows what day it is. 'Why does my mother's birthday sneak up on me every year like this? Miranda thought to herself as she knows that this day has brought back some old memories to her.
...
After breakfast, James sighs as the girls are doing their own thing while he is exploring around the castle. He notices one of the servants leaving from a different hallway and walking away from it as his interests are getting higher. As he turns down that particular hallway, it is a set of steps going up with a door at the top. He went up those steps and opens the door. As he walks in, he sees all sorts of things that are stored up here. He notices various old toys that he and Amber played with when they were much younger. However, out of the corner of his eye, he sees a box that is labeled Gladiz on it. His curiosity is getting the better of him as he spots an envelope that is addressed to the royal family of Enchancia on it. Plus it had a return address In the Kingdom of Gladiz. "This is very interesting". James said to himself as he looks at the box. All of a sudden a clubhouse is magically appearing in the attack as it is transforming the attic into a new room. He is stunned as he looks around in the new clubhouse. "Woah, this is beyond awesome". James said to himself as he sees things more age-approved than the playroom. He went to sit on the comfortable chair as he opens up the envelope. It is a wedding invitation to a wedding between Enrique and Lady Agatha. Plus there is a letter addressed to Miranda.
James looks at the invitation a bit more especially since the date was two years ago. He gasps as this is something that already happened. He puts down that wedding invitation. He leaves the clubhouse as he finds another invitation as it was just very recently dropped off. "That's strange, it is addressed to the Royal Family of Enchancia. Plus it has the same return address as the other one". James said to himself as he is wondering what this is about.
Madeline walks into the room as she spots James in the attic. "James what are you doing in here? Amber and Sofia are playing in the garden". Madeline asks James as she is wondering why he is in here.
James looks at Madeline as he sighs as it was not long that one of his sisters found something that he found first. "Well, I found this cool clubhouse. Plus I even saw one of the servants dropping this wedding invitation in here". James said to Madeline as he brings her into the clubhouse.
Madeline went into the clubhouse as she is in awe of it as it is a huge step from the playroom as there are not as many toys, but there is a unique magical toy. "Woah, this is awesome. Plus what is with this doll"? Madeline asks them as she picks it up.
The unique doll is starting to sing a song in a chipmunk voice as there is a somber but happy melody.
We should remember all past faces
Fond recollections none can compare
If someone leaves us, just remember
You're so much richer for all that you shared
So look back with love, don't despair
Beautiful memories last a lifetime
They're beside you everyday
Beautiful memories of our old friends
Close to our hearts, they will stay
James and Madeline look at each other as if it is a beautiful song and they are kind of confused about it. "I have never seen that doll in here though". James said to Madeline as they went to the round table as they see the box labeled Gladiz and the two wedding invitations. "Check this out Maddie, the wedding invitation is for a wedding that took place two years ago between a man named Enrique and Lady Agatha in the kingdom of Gladiz. However, this wedding invitation is going to take place in the next few days in the Kingdom of Avalor between a woman named Rosa and a man named Lorenzo. However, the kicker is that that the return address is the same and in the kingdom of Gladiz". James said to Madeline as he shows them to her.
Madeline looks at the invites she is stunned by this as she looks at it. "Woah, how come these invitations ended up here anyway"? Madeline asks James
as she is stunned that they missed a wedding.
James shrugs as he is not sure about it as he opens up the box labeled Gladiz. "I do not know Maddie. Plus this box is probably filled with clues. Also, there is a label on the box that says Gladiz". James said to Madeline as he opens up the box the first thing that he pulls out of a family picture of a man and a woman and their four kids.
Madeline is stunned as she is a bit confused about things. "Gladiz, is that a kingdom in the Ever Realm somewhere? I mean it is not in the Tri-Kingdom area. Plus, we haven't been to that kingdom before". Madeline said to James as he is wondering about it.
James looks at Madeline as he agrees with her as he is wondering the same thing. "It is but how did this box get here"? James asks Madeline as he looks at the picture much closer and the names on the back. He gasps as he recognizes a name in particular. "Maddie, who do you see in this girl between those two boys"? James asks Madeline as he realizes that it is someone that they know in this picture.
Madeline looks at the picture as she is stunned and surprised by it. "Woah, that girl looks like mom. Plus, that mansion is bigger than Aunt Tilly's house. I have never seen mom this young or happy". Madeline said to James as she is wondering why they have not seen her family.
James nods as he shows Madeline the back of it. "Yeah plus check out the names on the back, it has the names Enrique, Josephine, Rodrigo, Miranda, Ernesto, and Rosa". James said to Madeline as he turns back to the picture. "I bet these two are mom's parents Enrique and Josephine. Plus, I have never heard mom even talking about them with us. Plus she never even brought the subject up with us". James said to Madeline as he is wondering about it
Madeline looks at James as she nods in agreement as it is a question that she has wondered about. "Yeah, plus, I have not met them before. Although the kids in the picture must be mom's brothers and sister and the two people in the back must be mom's parents. It will be a good subject for dinner tonight then we head to new kingdom tomorrow. Although, who are the people that got married two years ago and who are going to be married next week". Madeline said to James as she is making plans for tomorrow.
James nods in agreement as there is something else. "The ones that got married two years ago are Enrique and some woman named Lady Agatha. From the picture, that has to be the dad while this invitation has the bride's name is Rosa while the groom's name is Lorenzo. According to the picture, the girl next to the other boy has to be Rosa". James said to Madeline as he figured out the people in the picture.
Madeline is stunned as she looks at the invitations again and doubles checks the people in the picture. "You are right about that. It could be that this lady passed away or even left the family some time ago. Plus, how could we miss out on a wedding like this? Plus, with the other wedding in Avalor next, we shouldn't miss out on it either". Madeline said to James as she is thinking about it.
James looks at Madeline as he is not sure about it. "I do not know Maddie. I think mom didn't know about the wedding two years ago. Plus, there is a letter with this one though". James said to Madeline as he has more questions than answers.
Madeline nods in agreement as she looks at James as they have a full idea about it. "I say we bring it up casually at dinner". Madeline said to James as the two make plans about it. The two leave the attic as a servant frowns as he is getting the feeling that they have discovered things. He smirks as he is heading down to the main part of the castle to take care of things.
...
As it is dinner time, the siblings are with their parents as James looks at Miranda. "Mom, Maddie, and I found a family picture of your parents and siblings. Why you haven't brought the subject about them to us"? James asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at James as Roland knows a bit about it. She has tears in her eyes as they hit a deep and personal subject her. "I don't want to talk about it, James". Miranda said to them as it is something that she has protected her kids from.
The kids are stunned as this is unexpected, to say the least. Madeline is completely shocked by her mom's words like they have entered into a brand new territory like they have crossed a serious personal boundary. "But mom don't you want the picture of your family"? Madeline asks Miranda as she shows the picture of her mom's family that features her when she was younger.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she is holding up her family picture in front of the others as Sofia and Amber gasp to see it. She has tears in her eyes as she is going to cry. Roland looks at them as he is aware of her family. "I said I don't want to talk about it Madeline. You have violated a very personal boundary Madeline. You will put the picture back in the attic where you found it". Miranda said to them as she leaves the table very upset and crying.
The kids are stunned as they look at Madeline like she has gotten in trouble. "Dad, I didn't mean to make mom really sad and mad at me dad". Madeline said to Roland as the kids are stunned to see that Miranda got onto Madeline about it.
Roland looks at Madeline as he sighs to her as the kids are wondering about it. "I know you didn't mean to honey. It is just her family is a personal issue and boundary to your mom. When your mom and I were dating, I asked her about her family. All she told me was that she was close with her dad, Enrique, but she had a very rocky relationship with her mom, Josephine. She had a great relationship with her siblings, Rodrigo, Ernesto, and Rosa, but something happened when your mom was a teenager that is very deep and personal to her. She told me that she wanted to protect her kids from her mother for those reasons. When it came time for our wedding, your mom did send a wedding invitation to them but they never came. It broke her heart. To this day, Miranda never had a sit-down talk with them". Roland said to them as he reveals that her family didn't even come to her wedding.
The kids look at Roland as it is a heartbreaking situation as James speaks up about it. "The thing is dad. I found two more wedding invitations. This one is from two years ago and a letter came with it for mom. While this wedding invitation is an upcoming wedding that will take place next weekend in the kingdom of Avalor", James said to Roland as he hands the wedding invitations to him.
Roland looks at the wedding invitations and the letter from Rodrigo. He frowns as he has never seen this at all. "I never saw this wedding invitation and letter come to me and Miranda at all. Plus, I would have sent it back with a regret that we couldn't make it". Roland said to them as he reads the letter. He gasps as he reads the contents as he is stunned by this. He is wondering if Baileywick has seen these before in his hands. "Oh Baileywick", Roland said to Baileywick as he calls out to him.
Baileywick walks into the room as he notices that Miranda is not in the dining room. "Yes King Roland", Baileywick said to Roland as he is wondering about it.
Roland looks at Baileywick as he needs to know something. "Baileywick, have you ever seen these two wedding invitations and this letter that came into the castle. This one and the letter were from two years ago while this one is more recent". Roland said to Baileywick as he is wondering about it.
Baileywick looks at the wedding invitations and the letter as he is shocked to see them. "Heavens no, this is the first time I have ever seen it. Where did you find it"? Baileywick asks them as he is stunned by it.
Roland is stunned to learn that Baileywick has never seen them before. He is getting the feeling that someone must have intercepted it. It was in the attic this whole time". James said to Baileywick as he explains it to him about it.
Baileywick looks at them as this is rather puzzling as he never files mail to the attic. "Mail should not be shoved up to the attic like this. My best guess is that someone intercepted this piece of mail and placed it in the attic". Baileywick said to them as it is puzzling.
Roland nods as he looks at Baileywick as he has them in his hands. "I see and thank you Baileywick. I will go check on Miranda". Roland said to Baileywick as he leaves the room to check on Miranda.
Sofia looks at them as she is very conflicted about things. "James, why did you even bring up about the old wedding invitation? That would have made things worse plus it is because your two dinners got very awkward". Sofia said to them as she is very confused about it.
Madeline looks at Sofia as she is stunned by the fact that they made dinner awkward. "Sofia, mom always said that the truth always comes from the light". Madeline said to Sofia as she brings up a point.
Sofia looks at Madeline as she is stunned by this point. "Yeah bring it out and make mom cry in front of us. It is obvious that she was not expecting to see that picture again". Sofia said to Madeline as they are having a sibling spat about things.
Amber frowns as she intervenes between the two of them. "Calm down you two, dad is probably talking to mom now. Plus, dessert will be coming out very soon as well. Let's drop the subject for now and wait for mom and dad". Amber said to them as she is putting the conversation about the picture to an end.
Sofia and Madeline look at Amber as they sigh as she is putting an end to the conversation. "Alright Amber", Madeline said to them as they finish eating their dinner and waiting for dessert.
Baileywick nods as he went back to the kitchen to get the pudding ready. As he got the pudding ready, he notices one of them has a lot of cherry jam on top of Madeline's bowl and has a label with Madeline's name on it. He frowns as it is odd as he put it aside. He made a fresh bowl of pudding in it without the jam. He brings the pudding out and hands it to the kids. Then he returns to the kitchen to grab the bowl of the pudding with the cherry jam on top of it. As he questions the kitchen staff about the cherry jam on top of the pudding, he frowns as none of them did it as they know that Madeline is allergic to cherries. Plus none of them saw anyone else doing it as well. He went quickly upstairs to the bedroom. "Excuse me, Queen Miranda, I was wondering if you are alright? Also, it seems that someone has mistakenly or intentionally placed cherry jam on top of the pudding that is meant for Princess Madeline to have. don't worry I questioned the kitchen staff and none of them did it, but they didn't see anyone else coming in to do it". Baileywick said to them as he informs them about it.
Miranda looks at Baileywick as she is stunned that someone did that. "Baileywick, I am fine, but it concerns me that someone did that. Plus you have trained the staff ever since we moved to the castle. It is good that you questioned the kitchen staff about it right away. Make sure that is tossed out". Miranda said to Baileywick as she is wondering who would do a thing.
Baileywick looks at them as he is wondering the same thing. "Thank you, Queen Miranda, there is a lot of staff to narrow it down. I will start questioning the others more discreetly". Baileywick said to them as he has a full mind to find out about it.
Roland nods as he does want progress on it. "Good, we need to check on the kids". Roland said to them as they leave the room as went back to the table.
The kids are talking as they are having dessert. Miranda looks at them as she sighs in relief that the pudding at Madeline's place doesn't have any cherries in it. Madeline looks at Miranda as she is wondering about things. "Mom, are you ok? I didn't know that was a personal boundary to you". Madeline said to Miranda as she is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she nods as it will be a long conversation. "Yes well, your father and I had a long talk about the old letter that my older brother Rodrigo sent to me two years ago. He was in Enchancia two years ago to visit a client. He is a veterinarian and heard of my name but thought it was a different woman whose name is also Miranda. He sent this letter in hopes that it was some sort of miracle. My mother, your grandmother Josephine is a difficult person to get along with. The second wedding invitation is for my sister's wedding. Her name is Rosa. Miranda said to them as she explains it.
The kids are stunned as they hear about two names that Miranda mentioned. "Uncle Rodrigo and Aunt Rosa", Sofia said to Miranda as she is wondering about it.
Miranda nods as she looks at the picture again. "Yeah, Rodrigo is the oldest boy in the family. Then I came along later. Following me, there are my younger brother Ernesto and my little sister Rosa. She worshipped me when we were growing up. This man is my father Enrique. He is your grandfather. The woman next to him is Josephine my mother, your grandmother". Miranda said to them as she reveals things.
Amber looks at Miranda as she has another question about things. "Why haven't met them yet? I mean dad does not have any brothers and just Aunt Tilly". Amber asks Miranda as she is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at them as she sighs to them. "That's a story for another time kids. All I can tell you is that my mother your grandmother Josephine and I had a very strained and rocky relationship. Yes well, from what I remembered my mother's family are extremely traditionalist and extremely conservative and had really strange rules. I remember the last time my mother and dad took me and my siblings to visit with them. The visit ended very early with my mother upset and angry at them. She told me and my younger siblings that is the last time we will ever get to see them. I never really asked her why though". Miranda said to them as she reveals something about her mother's family.
Sofia nods as she looks at Miranda as she is glad about one thing. "That is good to know though". Sofia said to Miranda as she is wondering if there is more to things.
Miranda nods as she looks at them. "Yes well, I doubt very highly that my mother's parents are still alive but my mother has three much younger brothers. She was a teenager when they came into the world. Her parents are the kind to get married when they were young and have large age gaps in their kids. It might be some cousins are my age or even younger. I have not seen my family tree scroll in years. Anyways, it is getting late". Miranda said to them
James looks at Miranda as he is wondering about something that he always wanted to have. "So does this mean we have cousins of our own who are our ages"? James asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at them as she nods as it is possible. "It is possible James". Miranda said to them as she explains it.
James looks at Miranda as he is getting excited about the possibility. "Yes finally, I want to have a boy cousin. I am tired to be around the girls all the time". James said to them as he explains it.
Amber nods in agreement as she wants to see her girl cousins. "I agree with James. I mean Aunt Tilly has been single for a very long time. It is like we have missed out on family visits with family all this time. Amber said to them as she is wondering who they might be.
Miranda sighs as she looks at them. "I suppose but I kept you guys from them especially from your grandmother Josephine. According to the letter from Rodrigo, my parents finally got divorced and my dad got remarried two years ago. They were all wrong for each other". Miranda said to them as she tells them that they have another stepparent.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she is wondering about the person. "To who mom, I mean is it late to get a step parent now for you". Madeline asks Miranda as she is wondering if it is too late for her.
Miranda looks at them. "Her name is Lady Agatha Wolfe the Nightingale Sorceress, and she has three grown adult children of her own. I know your kids are step-siblings but gaining step-siblings as an adult is going to be different. However, I don't think it is too late for me to gain a step parent of my own though". Miranda said to them as she is going to be a step-sister to three more siblings.
Amber looks at Miranda as she is a bit confused about it. "How is it going to be different? I mean we are siblings". Amber said to Miranda as James, Madeline, and Sofia nodded in agreement about it.
Miranda looks at them as she needs to explain it. "Yes you are siblings but you kids are growing up with each other and behave like siblings. Me, I never got to grow up with step siblings. So, to me, my new step siblings as an adult will be gaining new friends and with the time that friendship will be more like a sibling relationship". Miranda said to them as she explains it better.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she gets it now. "Oh I see. That makes sense since this will be the first time you will have step-siblings as well as your other siblings". Madeline said to Miranda as she understands it.
Miranda nods as she looks at the picture again as she looks at her brothers and sister. "My brothers and sister are full-blooded siblings. However, with you guys, you are step-siblings. However, there is a different kind of sibling that I have not dived with you all just yet". Miranda said to them as she wants to give them an inkling and clue about things. "This type of sibling is called a half-sibling". Miranda said to them as she
Sofia looks at Miranda as Madeline is stunned as she has never heard of it. "What is a half-sibling anyways"? Sofia asks Miranda as she is very confused about it.
Miranda looks at them as she explains it. "A half-sibling is where the parents are different from another sibling like having the same mother but a different father or the same father but a different mother. On the while, a full-blooded sibling is those who have the same parents". Miranda said to them as she explains the basics of things.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she thinks about it. "So if you and dad had a baby, it will be our half brother or half-sister". Madeline said to them as she is getting things right about it.
Miranda nods as she looks at Madeline as she is surprised by how she said it. "Yes that is exactly right Madeline. It would be your half brother or half-sister. My point is that there are different kinds of siblings out there and they are deeply real". Miranda said to Madeline as she has not had the baby fever yet.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she deeply understands it. "I understand now mom. Oh yeah, I even found a doll in the attic that can sing". Madeline said to them as she quickly changes the subject.
Miranda looks at them as if it is another interesting find. "It is an interesting find Madeline. I believe it is almost time to get ready for bed for the evening". Miranda said to them as she leaves the room and Roland went with her.
Amber looks at Madeline as she thinks about it. "What song was it Madeline"? Amber asks Madeline as she is wondering about it.
Madeline looks at Amber as she thinks about it. "It was called Beautiful Memories. The thing is that song was playing when James and I were in the clubhouse. It had a flute playing the melody, but it had a strange voice singing the song". Madeline said to them as she thinks about the song itself.
Amber looks at Madeline as she thinks back to something important. "Did you say a flute melody to the song"? Amber asks Madeline and James as she is wondering about it.
Madeline nods as she looks at Amber as James is getting kind of confused about it. "Yes, it was a flute playing the melody. Why do you ask"? James asks Amber as he is wondering about it.
Amber looks at James as she does remember something that happened a few years ago. " I remember one night a few years ago, dad, Baileywick, James, me, and Cedric heard a song playing a song from a flute. We didn't know where it was coming from. However, it deeply affected Cedric as he was crying like devastated crying". Amber said to them as she thinks back on it.
Sofia looks at them as she thinks about the same song. "I vaguely heard of this song a few years ago. But it made mom and Madeline cry but it didn't make me cry that deeply". Sofia said to them as she is wondering why it didn't affect her as much.
James looks at Sofia as it is puzzling, to say the least. "You know that next day, dad went all over the kingdom to see if anyone passed away that night or even that day that they knew of. The strange thing is that they didn't know of anyone that fit the bill". James said to them as he is wondering about it.
Madeline nods as she thinks it was really weird. "It is strange though. We have a long day tomorrow". Madeline said to them as she says good night. The kids nod as they went up to their rooms for the night and went to sleep.
...
The next day, James is at the stables as he is getting his flying horse Echo ready for a ride. Madeline comes in as she has her riding clothes on as she has a bag of flowers and a vase. She gets Mininus saddled up to get going as well. "Ready to go James", Madeline said to James as she gets on her horse.
James nods as he is already on Echo as he looks at Madeline. "Yes, Maddie, and remember try to be on your best behavior alright". James said to Madeline as they are heading out.
As they have been flying for a little bit, they arrive at the kingdom of Gladiz, Madeline looks at James as she has a mission on the front. "Yes James, this going to be the first time we get to see mom's family. I want to make the right impression, especially to Grandmother Josephine. Plus you know how protective I am of mom". Madeline said to James as she wants to make that good impression.
James looks at Madeline as he wants to remind her about things. " Maddie, what I mean is try to keep your temper in check. I know how you are. Plus, be nice or we will be heading back to the castle". James said to Madeline as he is making a promise about things. no if and or but about it
Madeline looks at James as she nods as they are almost there. "I will do my best James". Madeline said to James as she is seeing the mansion up ahead.
James sighs as they see the mansion below as there are multiple carriages in the front with a swimming hole, a garden, and stables in the backyard. As they start their descent, they see three kids racing their horses on a flying derby track in the backyard. They are being watched by a man and his wife. "Woah, they are riding and having a practice race on the derby track, brilliant", James said to Madeline as he sees the kids.
Madeline nods as she sees a long brunette-headed girl on a Palomino color flying horse in the lead and two other kids are not far behind her. One of them is a blonde-headed girl while the other one is a chestnut, brown-headed boy. "Yeah, I am curious if we can race with them while we are here. We should place our horses in the stables". Madeline said to James as they went to the stables.
James nods in agreement as they went into the stables as they have stable hands as they dismount from the flying horses there are two empty stalls. The head of the stables looks at them as she notices that the children are in riding clothes and helmets. "Did you two just arrive here"? The head of the stables asks them as she wondering about it.
James nods as he looks at the head of the stables. "Yes, we did. We came from Enchancia. My name is Prince James and this is my sister Princess Madeline from Enchancia. We came to meet with Grandfather Enrique, Lady Agatha, and Grandmother Josephine for the first time". James said to the head of the stables.
The woman looks at them as she realizes that they don't know. "Oh dear, you two need to change out of the riding clothes immediately and put on proper clothes to enter the main house. My name is Wendy, the family steward of the stables. You must understand that Josephine is very particular about how people arrive at the house. Plus if people just had been flying derby, they need to get cleaned up and put on proper clothes to head up to the house. The showers are through here and I will pick out proper outfits for the both of you. Plus, I will prepare the flowers for you that you brought". Wendy said to Madeline and James as she explains things.
James and Madeline look at Wendy as they see the showers. "Sure", James said to Wendy as they head towards the showers. He looks at Madeline as he is stunned by this. "Wow, she is like Baileywick being the stewardess of the stables". James said to Madeline as he is surprised by it.
Madeline nods as she looks at James as agrees with her. She hands the flowers and the vase to Wendy. "Yeah", Madeline said to James as they went towards the bathrooms to get showered and cleaned up.
As they finish their showers, a maid and servant bring an outfit to them. James has a hunter-green outfit while Madeline has a royal blue dress with blue shoes. Their hair is dry and neat. Wendy hands the flowers and vase back to Madeline as it is put together. Wendy leads them to a carriage that goes from the stables to the main house.
Wendy takes them up to the main house and drops them off. "Here is the front door of the main house". Wendy said to them as she lets them out.
James and Madeline thanks Wendy as they went towards the door. Madeline is holding the vase of flowers in her hands. "The mansion looks more intimidating up close". Madeline said to James as she rings the doorbell.
James nods in agreement as he looks at Madeline. "I agree", James said to Madeline as he is wondering who will be answering the door.
It is not long that the door opens to see a maid to answer the door. "My name is Iris. May I help you"? Iris asks them as she is stunned to see two children at the door.
James looks at the maid as Madeline smiles at her as they are visiting. "We are here to see Enrique, Lady Agatha, and Grandmother Josephine. We are King Roland and Queen Miranda's of Enchancia children". James said to Iris as Madeline nods at her.
Iris looks at them as she is stunned and surprised to hear Miranda's name. "Oh my, please come in you two", Iris said to them as she leads them to the living room.
Madeline is stunned by the interior of the hose as it is beautiful and majestic inside and on the outside. "Wow, it is really beautiful". Madeline said to James as they make their way to the living room.
James nods as they arrive in the living room they see three older adults. "Yeah", James said to Madeline as Iris went to talk to them.
The elderly woman looks at them as Iris explains to them. "These are two of King Roland and Queen Miranda's children, Prince James and Princess Madeline", Iris said to them as she tells them about them.
Madeline looks at Josephine as she has the flowers for her. "I am Princess Madeline, Grandmother Josephine. Mom told me that your birthday was yesterday and your favorite flowers are roses. I brought these for you". Madeline said to Josephine as she hands the flowers to her.
Josephine looks at Madeline very critically as she sees the flowers. She faintly smiles at the flowers and the vase is proper. "I see that your mother has not forgotten that my favorite flowers are roses and the dragon lilies are a very nice touch". Josephine's said to Madeline as she notices the bright red hair on her and the color of her blue-green eyes as she can see the resemblance to someone else. "What is your middle name dear"? Josephine asks Madeline as she wants to know.
Madeline looks at Josephine as she is staying calm and not nervous. "My middle name is Gabriella, Grandmother Josephine". Madeline said to Josephine as she can tell that she is a very intimidating woman.
Josephine looks at Madeline as she nods in approval of it. She turns to James in a very critical as well. "What is your full name young man"? Josephine asks James as she wants his full name.
James looks at Grandmother Josephine as he is very nervous as he looks at Madeline to help him out. Josephine turns to Madeline she gives her a harsh glare not to help him. Enrique looks at Josephine. "Josephine, that's enough, you are making them nervous as is". Enrique said to Josephine as he intervenes.
Madeline Whisper James full name into his Ear"
Josephine looks at Enrique as she gives him the look. "You know as much as I do that bright red hair and the green in her blue-green eyes does not come from this family. I see that sailor boy in her". Josephine said to Enrique as she is reminded of a certain person.
Enrique looks at Josephine as he can see it as well. "I am not going to turn them away Josephine. Plus it could be that the red hair and the green in her eyes could come from Rosa's fiancé's family. Be nice, you are still reeling from the fact that Renee has deeply lied to us and you about Miranda and you know it". Enrique said to Josephine.
Josephine looks at Enrique as she is still quiet and sulky. James sighs as he looks at them. "It is James Michael McArthur". James said to them as he explains it.
Josephine looks at them as she nods in approval and notices that the kids are clean. "I take it that you two dropped off your horse at the stables and get properly cleaned up there and brought up here in the stable carriage". Josephine said to them as she is giving them the third degree.
Madeline looks at Josephine as she nods to her. "Yes Grandmother Josephine, we did". Madeline said to Josephine as she is telling the truth.
Josephine looks at Madeline and she nods as the both of them did that. "Good", Josephine said to them as she sits and was quiet.
Enrique sighs as he looks at them as it is not easy. "I do deeply apologize about Josephine, my ex-wife. She is not the easiest of people to get along with". Enrique said to them as he explains it.
Madeline nods as she looks at them as she has takes the snide remarks about things. James looks at them as a change in the subject is in order. "What was mom like when she was growing up here"? James asks them as he is very curious about it.
Josephine looks at them as she sighs as it is not an easy topic to talk about. "Your mother was very spirited and a rebel especially when she was dating that sailor boy as a teenager. I am glad that she got rid of him and married a proper man like King Roland the Second". Josephine said to them as she makes another snide comment.
Madeline frowns as she is getting angry as sees that she is talking about her first dad. James grabs Madeline's hand as he sees that Enrique will handle it. "Josephine, that is enough, he passed away some years ago. You and I didn't like him for various reasons. However, bringing him up with them is not the way to go and you know it". Enrique said to Josephine as he gives her that look to leave the room and go to her floor.
Josephine looks at Enrique as she leaves the room and heads upstairs to her part of the house. Madeline looks at James as she thanks him. "Why does Grandmother Josephine does not like my first daddy though"? Madeline asks Enrique as she is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Madeline as he sighs as it is a difficult topic. "Well, your first dad was from a lower class than Miranda. Plus Josephine wanted her to be with someone of her choosing and not for love as your mom wanted". Enrique said to them as he gets that out of the way. "How did Miranda meet your father, James"? Enrique asks James as he is wondering about it.
James looks at Enrique as he relaxes a bit as Josephine has left the room. "Well, mom, Sofia, and Madeline came to the castle because dad needed new shoes. The shoe fit on my dad's foot. They fell in love and got married". James said to them as he explains it.
Enrique nods as he looks at James as if it is love at first sight. "I see. I am deeply sorry that we including the kids missed your parent's wedding a few years ago. We found their wedding invitation in a box along with the family tree scroll and old letters. Someone intercepted the invitation and kept it hidden from us". Enrique said to them as he explains it. He places the invitation to Roland and Miranda's wedding on the table in front of them.
Madeline is stunned as she does not realize this one as it is exactly what happened. "That is the wedding invitations that mom used to send to the guests. Plus the wedding invitation for your wedding and the upcoming wedding also got intercepted and ended up in the attic as well". Madeline said to them as she shows them to them.
Enrique is stunned as he looks at the invitations as he is thinking like a magical investigator. "This is starting to look like a pattern. The person that could be behind it wanted to make sure that Miranda is kept away from us and we are kept away from her and it applies to any events that we and she are having". Enrique said to Madeline as he grabs out his wand and checks things out.
James and Madeline are stunned as they see Enrique is at work. "Are you a sorcerer"? Madeline asks Enrique as she is wondering about it.
Enrique nods as he looks at Madeline as he nods. "Yes, that is correct. However, I use my sorcery in magical investigations. The truth is I am a magical investigator. According to my fingerprint spell, there are a lot of fingerprints on these two invitations. Therefore, it is too difficult to identify which one was handling these items, and it has passed through different hands. So, you won't be able to get a clear unknown subject that intercepted the invitations". Enrique said to them as he places the invites down and concludes with the spell.
James nods as he looks at Enrique as if it is a dead-end. "That's too bad, oh we saw three kids racing their flying horses and a man and woman watching them". James said to Enrique as he is wondering about them.
Enrique nods as he smiles at him as they switch to another subject. "Those are your cousins Miranda Louise, Olivia, and Alex. My eldest son Rodrigo and his wife Rebecca are watching them. I was once a flying derby racer myself and a coach as well. I am retired as a racer but now and then I coach the family team for derby tournaments all over the Ever Realm". Enrique said to them as he explains it.
Madeline is stunned as she looks at Enrique as learns that one of the cousins is named after their mom. "There is a kid that is named after mom that is cool". Madeline said to Enrique as she is looking forward to meeting her.
James and Madeline are in awe as they learn about it. "You were a derby rider and coach. That is awesome and brilliant". James said to Enrique as he is pleased about it.
Madeline smiles as she looks at Enrique as she connected with him right away. "Sofia one of my sisters, James, and I are also derby riders as well. We are actually on the Royal Prep team". Madeline said to Enrique as they stay on the topic.
Josephine frowns as she glares at them as is very annoyed. "Madeline Gabriella McArthur, it is bad enough that Miranda Louise and Olivia are into flying derby but to hear that you and your sister are into it as well is improper". Josephine said to Madeline as she is giving her a fit about it.
Madeline looks at Josephine as she is crying about it as James and Lady Agatha are comforting her. Enrique gives Josephine a look. "You have gone too far Josephine just goes back to your floor". Enrique said to Josephine as he is not having it.
Josephine gives them a look towards them. "Fine, when they leave, I will come back down here". Josephine said to them as she went back upstairs to her floor in the house.
Madeline looks at them as she is still crying about it. "Why is she so mean? I mean I am trying to make a good impression. I mean flying derby is a part of me". Madeline said to them as she is getting upset and crying.
Enrique looks at Madeline as he sighs to her as they went outside of the house to get some fresh air and to head towards the stables. "Grandmother Josephine is one of those who believes that it is improper for girls to do boy things and vise versa. I do want to see your horses". Enrique said to them as he changes the subject.
The group nods as they went down to the stables as the two kids greet Wendy as they went towards the two stalls. "This is my horse Echo". James said to Enrique as he shows his horse first to him.
Enrique looks at the horse as he can tell that it is a good horse for James. Madeline went over to a different stall. "This is Minimus. Sofia and I share him for riding and races". Madeline said to Enrique as she explains it. this is like my second time Riding Minimus without Sofia.
Enrique is stunned as he is hearing that one correctly as it is something that needs to be discussed with Miranda. "How long you and Sofia have been sharing Minimus for"? Enrique asks them as he is wondering about it.
Madeline looks at Enrique as she is wondering about things. "About several years and it will be four years when school starts. He was the only one left to ride at Royal Prep and we worked with him as well. Madeline said to Enrique as she explains about the horse.
Enrique looks at Madeline as he nods as he needs to discuss things with Miranda. "I understand. It is something that I need to discuss with your parents". Enrique said to Madeline as he writes things down. The four of them went back up to the house as they see that a maid has a fresh batch of cookies ready as the other kids are upstairs.
Cindy looks at them as she places the platter down as she looks at them. "Here you go kids, it just cooled from the oven". Cindy said to them as Iris is in the dining room as she is getting the table set for later.
Madeline and James look at the cookies as they are eating them. Madeline is too excited about it as she eats three of them. "These are good". Madeline said to them as she is eating them all of the sudden, her throat is tightening up as she is breaking out in hives. She is getting dizzy and not feeling good. "I don't feel so good". Madeline said to them as she collapses on the couch.
James is stunned as he realizes what is happening. "Maddie", James said to Madeline as he tries to get her to open her eyes.
Lady Agatha frowns as she sees it as she frowns as she swoops Madeline into her arms. "James, is Madeline allergic to anything"? Lady Agatha asks James as she went upstairs to a bedroom.
James is stunned as he looks at Lady Agatha the other adults are stunned that a commotion is going on. "Yes, Madeline is allergic to cherries. How did you know"? James asks Lady Agatha as he does not realize things.
Lady Agatha looks at James as she places Madeline on a bed. She quickly grabs a first aid kit as she grabs an epipotion. "As a parent of a child who has a food allergy, I know the symptoms well like the back of my hand". Lady Agatha said to James as she injects the Epipotion into Madeline's thigh.
Josephine, a man named Ernesto, and Rodrigo rush into the room as they see what is going on. "For heaven's sake Agatha, why is she in Miranda's childhood room. No one is allowed in it under any circumstances". Josephine said to Lady Agatha as she is throwing another fit about it.
Lady Agatha glares at Josephine as she has heard enough. "Madeline has a food allergy to cherries Josephine, and this is an emergency. I want you and Enrique to go to the Enchancia Royal Castle and get her parents here ASAP. Rodrigo, I want you to go to town and get my daughter Dr. Lucy here now. Ernesto, I want you to go get the constable now. I want this to be investigated and find out if this is was an accident or an intentional act". Lady Agatha said to them as she gives them a harsh glare.
Josephine looks at Lady Agatha as she can see the fury in her eyes. "Alright, fine", Josephine said to Lady Agatha as she and Enrique heads out of the house. Ernesto and Rodrigo also head out of the house. Rebecca also sees this as she is wondering about it. "Is there anything that I can do Lady Agatha"? Rebecca asks Lady Agatha as she is wondering about it.
Lady Agatha looks at Rebecca as she nods to her. "I want you to get a bowl of cool water and a hand towel for Madeline's forehead". Lady Agatha said to Rebecca as she wants her to do something. Rebecca nods as she leaves the room to do just that.
James looks at Lady Agatha as he is stunned to see the potion in her hands. "Lady Agatha, what are you doing"? James asks Lady Agatha as he does not understand.
Lady Agatha looks at James as she knows what she is doing as she sterilizes the spot to inject the medicine. "I am using this epipotion to help Madeline". Lady Agatha said to James as she administer the medicine.
James is stunned as he sees Lady Agatha in action. He is wondering about the medicine that she used. "An epi-potion", James said to Lady Agatha as he never heard of it before.
Lady Agatha nods as she looks at Prince James as explains it to him. "An epi-potion is used to reserve the effects of an anaphylactic shock. We wait for my daughter to get here to do a thorough examine on Madeline". Lady Agatha said to James as she explains it to him. James nods as he stays with her as hopes that his parents will be here soon.
...
Back at the Enchancia Castle, Cedric is hard at work as Wormwood is close by him. He frowns as he is getting the feeling that something is wrong. He quickly leaves the room as he rushes downstairs like he is a man on a mission. He spots Princess Sofia and Princess Amber talking. "Princess Sofia, where is Madeline at right now"? Cedric asks them as he is wondering about things.
Sofia looks at Cedric as she notices that something is off as he is walking towards the main part of the castle. "Madeline and James went riding together. I thought they would be back by now why". Sofia said to Cedric as she is very confused about why he is being like this.
(Cedric looks at Sofia as the two girls are catching up to him.)
"Something is not right with Madeline. I know it, and I have a gut feeling that something is wrong". Cedric said to Sofia as he has a full mind to take off and go somewhere.
As Roland and Miranda look at Cedric as he is heading down the stairs, the door is opening as Baileywick and a couple is heading towards them. "King Roland, Queen Miranda, Enrique, and Josephine have arrived from Gladiz. Madeline had an anaphylactic shock". Baileywick said to Miranda and Roland as he looks at Cedric as he is stunned as he got it right.
Miranda looks at her parents as this is not exactly how she wants to see them. Amber and Sofia are stunned that Cedric got it right on something is wrong with Madeline. "Roland do you have the keys to the cloud coaster"? Miranda asks Roland as she wants to know if he has the keys.
Roland looks at Miranda as he nods as he has the keys. "Yes Miranda, I have the keys in my pocket". Roland said to Miranda as he has them.
Miranda nods as he looks at them as if she is a mother on a mission. "Alright let us go then", Miranda said to them as she is wants to get moving.
Roland nods as Sofia is stunned as she is wondering how Cedric sensed that something is wrong with Madeline. "Mom, I want to come to". Sofia said to Miranda as Amber agrees with her.
Miranda looks at them as she sighs as lets them come along. "Alright", Miranda said to Sofia as the five of them leave the castle as they get in the cloud coaster, and head towards Gladiz.
Cedric looks at the cloud coaster taking off as he sighs as his gut feelings got confirmed that something is wrong with Madeline. Baileywick looks at Cedric as he is deeply surprised that he was right that something is wrong with Madeline. "Cedric, how did you know that something was wrong with Princess Madeline"? Baileywick asks Cedric as he is deeply surprised by it.
Cedric looks at Baileywick as he sighs as he does not know how to explain it. "I don't know how to explain it Baileywick. I need to pray for Madeline and her swift recovery". Cedric said to Baileywick as he leaves the room as went back upstairs to pray.
Baileywick is stunned as he does not know what to make of that. He sighs as he is worried about Madeline as he thinks about things. 'Since when does Cedric go to pray? However, I have questioned every maid and servant that was not in the kitchen last night about the cherry jam and none of them did it. I got a feeling that someone lied to me about it. Baileywick thought to himself as he went to find some sort of clue about what happened.
In the cloud coaster, Amber and Sofia look at Miranda's parents as Miranda is driving and Roland is sitting in the front seat with her. "Who was the one that that took action that it was happening"? Sofia asks them as she is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Sofia as he needs to explain it. "It is my wife Lady Agatha that took charge of things, Sofia". Enrique said to them as Josephine nods as she was not there when Madeline ate those cookies.
Sofia looks at Enrique as she notices Josephine as she is kind of confused about it. "So if your wife is here then why is Grandmother Josephine with us"? Sofia asks Enrique as she is wondering about it.
Josephine looks at Sofia as she can see the third-degree questioning people trait in her. "Lady Agatha is the one that sends me along with your grandfather, Sofia. She knows how to handle food allergy emergencies a lot better than I can. She asked Rodrigo to go get her daughter who is also a doctor and asked Ernesto to go get the constable to investigate things". Josephine said to Sofia as she explains it.
Sofia looks at Josephine as she is a bit confused about it. "What do you mean by can handle it better? Plus why would a constable be needed to investigate a food allergy incident anyways"? Sofia asks them as she has more questions than answers.
Enrique looks at Sofia as he will take the question for Josephine. "Well, an investigation needs to be conducted to determine if this was an intentional or an accident. If it was intentional, it would be considered assault. If it was an accident, some disciplinary actions will need to take place against the person that made the item that caused Madeline's reaction. Plus Lady Agatha is a parent with a child with a food allergy. Plus she will explain how she pioneered, created, and got the epi-potion patented". Enrique said to them as Miranda is stunned and surprised to learn about it.
Sofia nods as she looks at Enrique as she is satisfied with the questions. "I see now. It is just the last time Madeline had an anaphylactic shock is when she was three years old. Since then, mom has been all over Madeline when it comes to sweets". Sofia said to Enrique as she explains it.
Enrique nods as the cloud coaster arrives at the mansion Miranda is in full mommy mode. The five of them get out of the cloud coaster as Amber is in awe of the mansion that Miranda grew up with. "Mother, where is Madeline right now"? Miranda asks Josephine as she is wondering about it.
Josephine looks at Miranda as she is leading up the way. "Madeline is in your childhood bedroom". Josephine said to Miranda as they went up to the room. The other adults are stunned when they see Miranda as this is the first time to see her.
They went up to the second floor and they went into the room as they see two women, James, and Madeline in bed she is still asleep. The doctor has the IV in Madeline as she does a thorough examination. Lady Agatha looks at the new arrivals as she lets them in. "Madeline, is she alright? I am her mother". Miranda said to them as she is wondering about things.
Lady Agatha looks at them as she nods as her daughter is working on the chart for Madeline. "She will be alright, your majesty. My name is Dr. Lucy. Plus Madeline is really lucky that my mom is here with the epi-potion". Dr. Lucy said to Miranda as she is finishing up things.
Miranda sighs in relief as she looks at Lady Agatha as she is grateful. "Thank you, Lady Agatha, may I sit with her please? Plus when can we take her home"? Miranda asks them as she is wondering about things.
Dr. Lucy looks at Miranda as she can tell that the mother is worried. "Of course, you may sit with her, however, I strongly advise that Madeline does not head home until the morning. Her body is still recovering. Also, I am going to strongly recommend that Madeline gets a medical bracelet in some forms. When was the last time she had an anaphylactic shock reaction to cherries". Dr. Lucy asks Miranda as she is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at Dr. Lucy as she sighs as it was a very long time ago. "Madeline was 3 years old at the time. I got rid of all everything cherry at our home. I couldn't risk letting Sofia have cherries in front of Madeline either". Miranda said to Dr. Lucy as she explains it.
Dr. Lucy nods as she writes things down as this is the first time that she had an anaphylactic shock reaction away from home. " I see. I am going to highly recommend that you send a letter to her school to have epi-potions on hand in case this happens at school and send word to kingdoms for royal visits to also have them on hand and special dietary restrictions about Madeline". Dr. Lucy said to Miranda as she explains it.
Miranda nods as she looks at Dr. Lucy as she is thankful for that. "I will do that Dr. Lucy". Miranda said to Dr. Lucy as she grabs another chair as she sits next to her.
Dr. Lucy nods as she looks at them as she looks at the rest of them. "As for all of you, I want you to leave the room and let the patient rest". Dr. Lucy said to them as she wants them to head downstairs.
Roland nods as they and the other adults went downstairs the kids are stunned as they don't know what is going on. They went to sit down with them. "Is Madeline going to be an ok dad"? Sofia asks Roland as she is wondering about it.
Roland nods as he looks at Sofia as if it will be alright. "Madeline will be alright Sofia. Plus, I do want to meet Miranda's siblings". Roland said to them as he sees three adults one of them has a significant other. "My name is Rodrigo. I am the animal doctor in the family. This is my wife Rebecca who comes from a family of royal flying horse breeders. This is our daughter Miranda Louise". Rodrigo said to Roland and the kids are stunned that there is another kid named Miranda.
Miranda Louise looks at them as she smiles at them. "Hello, I am Miranda Louise. My birthday is October 6th, my favorite hobby is flying derby, and I have been wanting to meet Auntie Miranda for a very long time. Dad, Auntie Rosa, and Uncle Rodrigo have always told me stories about her". Miranda Louise said to them as she explains things.
Rosa looks at them as a boy named Alex is next to her. "My name is Rosa, and this is my son Alex. I am soon to be married to Lorenzo Garcia-Roberts of Avalor. Alex's father died before he was born, and I have been raising him ever since. I am a lawyer". Rosa said to them as she explains it.
Alex nods as he looks at them as he is excited to see another boy who is their age. "I am Alex. My birthday is May 3rd. Like Miranda Louise, I am also into flying derby". Alex said to the kids as he is looking forward to things.
Ernesto looks at them as Olivia is next to him. "My name is Ernesto, and I am a businessman. This is my daughter Olivia. I am in the process of getting divorced from her mother. It is complicated". Ernesto said to them as Olivia has been told things about it.
Olivia looks at them as she has a lot going on in her life. "I am Olivia. I am into sorcery, flying derby, and fashion like Grandmother Josephine. My birthday is January 1st". Olivia said to them as she makes it brief about herself.
Amber looks at them as she can tell that Olivia is a lot like her in a way. "My name is Amber Miranda McArthur. James is my twin brother, and I am older than him by 7 minutes". Amber said to them as she reveals that her middle name is also Miranda.
Sofia is stunned as she looks at Miranda Louise as she can tell about her. "My name is Sofia Gretchen McArthur. Like you Miranda Louise, I am also into flying derby and my birthday is also October 6th and Madeline's birthday is December 21st and she is allergic to cherries". Sofia said to Miranda Louise as the adults are wondering who is older between the two girls. She does not like it that she was not here to help Madeline when it happened.
James looks at Sofia as he sighs as it was handled beautifully by one of the adults. "Calm down Sofia, Lady Agatha handled it like a boss. My name is James. I am also into flying derby and knights". James said to them as he gives her a look. Don't Worry Maddie
The adults nod as they talk as the constable walks in with the maid named Cindy who is upset. "I am ruling this as a bad accident. Apparently the maid Cindy intentionally was going to make chocolate chip cookies but accidentally turned a couple of pages back and made the other cookies instead.
Enrique nods as he looks at the constable as he can see that the maid is remorseful about it. "I am going to dock your pay for two weeks Cindy. Also from now on, Iris will be supervising you if you cook anything in the kitchen", Enrique said to Cindy as he gives her a fair punishment for it.
Cindy looks at Enrique as she nods as she knows about it. "Yes sir Enrique", Cindy said to them as she went back to her room to calm down. Roland nods as he learns about it as he has a lot more questions about things. "Kids why don't you head outside to play for the time being", Roland said to them as he wants to have a grown-up talk with them.
The kids nod as they went outside to play as they went to the garden. Sofia looks at them as she sighs as she is wondering about things. "James, what exactly happens before the whole allergy emergency"? Sofia asks James as she wants answers about it.
James looks at Sofia as he is now getting the third-degree look. "Well, Madeline did get mad at Grandmother Josephine for snide remarks. Enrique handled it like a pro. However, Grandmother Josephine made Madeline cry". James said to Sofia as he explains it.
The Enchancia royal kids are stunned as they hear that one correctly. "Grandmother Josephine made Madeline cry. Our grand mum does not even do that to her". Amber said to Miranda Louise as she is deeply surprised about it.
Miranda Louise looks at Amber as she sighs to her as she needs to explain it. "Grandmother Josephine is a very strict woman, Amber. She even grew up with even stricter parents than her. When I was born she wanted my parents to change my name to something else. My dad stood up to her and wanted to honor Aunt Miranda and my mom's mom's middle name hence the name Miranda Louise. She didn't want him to get married to my mom. It took her mom to knock some sense into her, and then she was more accepting of my mom after that though for some reason though. Although, Grandmother Josephine was very distant from me. It is like being named Miranda is very difficult because of Auntie Miranda". Miranda Louise said to them as it is a complicated issue.
The Enchancia siblings look at Miranda Louise as they are stunned by it. "Woah, I was not expecting that one. Although mom did tell us that she and Grandmother Josephine had a rocky relationship". Sofia said to Miranda Louise as she is wondering about things.
Olivia looks at them as she sighs as she needs to tell them. "Even though Grandmother Josephine always loves me and puts me first, every November 19th, she was always very distant like she refuses to talk to anyone even me. It is like that day has everyone in a somber mood. However, the weirder part is that my mom is in a better mood than the adults for some reason. What I don't get is why my mom left home and didn't even bother to say goodbye to me". Olivia as she is deeply puzzled about it.
The Enchancia siblings are stunned as they hear that date correctly. "November 19th, that is mom's birthday. It is like it is a bittersweet day, but she lets Madeline open presents and other things. It is rather annoying". James said to them as it is very strange as Amber and Sofia agree. The cousins are stunned as this is getting interesting.
...
Back inside, Madeline is still asleep as Miranda is watching over her daughter Dr. Lucy is with them making notes to hand over to Dr. Kim in Enchancia. Josephine went into the room as she looks at the three of them together. "Dr. Lucy, can you give us some privacy please"? Josephine asks Dr. Lucy as she wants to talk to Miranda alone.
Dr. Lucy nods as she looks at Josephine as she nods in agreement as she steps out of the room. Miranda looks at Josephine as her mom is sitting down next to her. "Mom, what are you doing up here? I thought you would be downstairs talking to Roland". Miranda said to Josephine as she is wondering about things.
Josephine looks at Miranda and she nods as she did that. "I did talk to Roland, and I must tell you that I do approve of him. He has a bigger heart than I ever will and that willingness to accept young children from a previous relationship". Josephine said to Miranda as she looks at the sleeping child. "How did Madeline come to you if you mind me asking".
Miranda looks at Josephine as if it was a night that she will never forget. "It was in November night years ago. I was home with Sofia when Birk came home. He was beaten and bloodied like he was in a fight somewhere holding a baby girl in his arms. He told me that Madeline was in great danger and that being responsible captured her birth mother. She eventually passed away a few years ago. The next morning was my birthday and we adopted her. Her birthday is December 21st. I picked Madeline but it was Birk that picked Gabriella. He told me that angels were watching over her on that night and I agreed. However, I had plans to divorce Birk because he cheated on me with several women including Madeline's birth mother. However, I am not angry with her because she paid the ultimate price to protect Madeline, Cedric, and everyone in the entire Ever Realm and the Mystic Isles". Miranda said to Josephine as she makes a stand to her about it.
Josephine looks at Miranda as she sighs and mellows about it. "I see. She passed away like a true heroine. Although, I suppose that sailor boy did one thing right and that was saving Madeline on that night. All of those other things just prove that he was a heartbreaker". Josephine said to Miranda as she was right about him.
Miranda looks at Josephine as she sighs to her as she did call him sailor boy again. "Yes well, I asked Dr. Lucy and Yvette to come to the castle tomorrow and fully explain to Madeline about having a medical bracelet for her cherry allergy. Although, plus Baileywick did tell me that someone accidentally placed cherry jam into the pudding last night. Even though it got taken out before it got to her, I just can't help but wonder if there is something deeper going on that none of us even know yet". Miranda said to Josephine as she is wondering about it.
Josephine looks at Miranda as she can tell that she is getting worried about things. "All of this worrying is not going to help you Miranda. Madeline does need to be safe while having fun. Plus, you know what your grandmother Regina always said the truth always comes out to the light". Josephine said to Miranda as she reminds her about it.
Miranda looks at Josephine as she nods as she does remember it. "I know mom. To tell you the truth, I have missed you over the years, but there were times that I know why things happen and how our relationship is". Miranda said to Josephine as she admits that.
Josephine looks at Miranda and she nods as she looks at her. "I have missed you too especially on your birthday. I pretty much avoided everyone especially your father on your birthday". Josephine said to Miranda as she does think back on things.
Josephine looks at Miranda and she nods as she thinks about it. "Your family should stay here tonight Miranda. It will be very late by the time you all get back to Enchancia. Plus, Rosa will want to discuss the wedding thing with you". Josephine said to Miranda as she explains it.
Miranda looks at Josephine as she nods as she agrees as knows that she will need to talk to Rosa. "Yes, that needs to be done as well". Miranda said to them as they continue to watch over Madeline.
...
.Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Wei-Ling, Renee is setting u her hideout. She is making sure that her viewing crystal ball is set I and among other things. She hears flapping wings and footsteps coming in the hideout. She grabs out her wand as she looks at them. "Announce yourselves, what are you two doing here and you two must be too far from home". Renee said to them as she is on guard of them.
Wormwood is stunned as he looks at Renee as he realizes that one. "I remember you now, Mistress Renee. It has been years since I last saw you". Wormwood said to Renee as he is being reunited with her.
Renee nods as she looks at Wormwood as she is pleased to see him again. "It has been at least 6 years Wormwood. Yet you are looking evilly well". Renee said to Wormwood as the raven smiles as he does like her.
Grimtrix looks at them as he is stunned as he doesn't know this. "Huh, how do you two know each other"? Grimtrix asks them as he is wondering about it.
Renee looks at Grimtrix as she smirks to him. "I am one of the highest ranking members of the Queen Trinity Society, plus Wormwood is also a secret member of the society. His ranking is just as high like myself. Cedric and they royal family has no idea about it. The society has kept a close eye on everyone in the entire Ever Realm and Mystic Isles for decades including you. You have been on my radar for the last four years and been wanting to meet you for some time even when the first time you met those two princesses". Renee said to Grimtrix as she knows about hi.
Grimtrix looks at Renee as he is pleased about meeting an evil woman. "I have met those princesses. They are about as annoying and persistent. Anyways, I want to discuss a beneficial partnership". Grimtrix said to Renee as he wants to discuss about it.
Renee looks at them as she sets up some targets for Grimtrix to destroy. "A beneficial partnership huh, show me what got Grimtrix". Renee said to Grimtrix as she wants to see them in action.
Grimtrix shows his evil power as he destroys the targets. Renee looks at Grimtrix as she is impressed. "That is the strength of my power for a radiant woman like yourself, Renee". Grimtrix said to Renee as he attempts to flirt with her.
Renee looks at Grimtrix as she smiles to him as she is flattered about it. "Flattery gets you somewhere, Grimtrix. But I am heading towards a divorce with my soon to be ex-husband". Renee said to them as she resets the targets as she uses her evil powers on the targets and destroys them. She even shows off her shadow spells as it is very powerful as well. "There is one person that I really can't stand with a passion and that is Princess Madeline. Plus I look at you, you need a person who is more vindictive and truly evil am I right". Renee said to Wormwood as she knows that he needs someone who is truly evil
Wormwood looks at Renee as he agrees as he has enough. "Now you are speaking on my language same and on the same page Renee. That Princess Madeline has changed Cedric from evil to good". Wormwood said to them as he is very annoyed about it.
Renee looks at them as she went to grab a box that has a seed that contains an evil ancient spell inside of it. "I have an evil plan in mind to target Cedric. This seed contains the ancient and forbidden spell called Innermost Darkness spell. It is a spell originated in the Mystic Isles that will keep Cedric in a magical coma. When the seed is in him, the strength and power of the spell to harm him depending on the number of people that has contribute to the inner darkness that has built up inside of him. That way, when it is time to say the incantation is said, it will be done. Plus when the incantation is complete, Cedric will feel the spell harming him and it will put him in the magical coma and the inner darkness will start building inside of him and trap him completely". Renee said to them as she explains about the plans.
Wormwood looks at Renee as it is a good plan. "We will have to keep both princesses away from Cedric in order to do it". Wormwood said to Renee as he is wondering about it.
Grimtrix agrees about it as he is wondering the same thing. "I agree with Wormwood Renee. How can we get the seed already inside of him away from those princesses"? Grimtrix said to Renee as he wants to know about it.
Renee looks at them as she uses the viewing crystal ball to show them where the princesses are at. "You naive fool of a raven. I have been spying on the royal family for years even on that black sheep and those two girls even before they became princesses. This is footage of the castle early this morning. Cedric was all alone by himself watching the sunrise before that black sheep even found him. Since the royal family are at my soon to be ex-husband's house right now. There is a huge window of opportunity to place the seed into Cedric while they are still away. ". Renee said to Wormwood as she comes up with a pan.
Wormwood nods as he looks at Renee as he is deeply impressed by it. "Perfect, although I do need to head home very soon", Wormwood said to Renee as he knows that he will need to head home soon.
Renee nods as she hands the seed to him. "Then you will need to take this seed with you Wormwood. Also, here is the incantation spell to activate the seed. On the day of the conference, I want you to say it. I will have a spell to make it where only Cedric will hear the words of the incantation". Renee said to Wormwood as she has everything in place.
Wormwood looks at Renee as he smirks to her as he has the incantation spell on things. "I always knew that you are vindictively evil Renee". Wormwood said to Renee as he thanks her for it.
Renee nods as she looks at Grimtrix as she has things for him to do. "Plus Grimtrix, we need to get that Lady Agatha out of the way during the conference as well. There are cells in the hidden cave that will be fine for her for the time being". Renee said to Grimtrix
Grimtrix nods as he looks at Renee as he has known about the hidden cave. "I know about that cave and seen them myself. I will make dear Aggie pay for getting my job at Hexley Hall". Grimtrix said to them as he is ready to be involved with things.
Renee nods as she looks at Grimtrix. "Excellent, once the family gets back from Avalor that is when things will take place". Renee said to them as she explains about it.
Wormwood nods as he and Grimtrix agrees with Renee. As they are laughing together evilly, they have no idea that two mysterious individuals are watching them. One of them is a man wielding a tambourita while the other is an older princess as she is holding a wand as they are gathering evidence and gaining the entire conversation with magical listening devices. As they quickly depart from the area the two are making a magical call to a being. "Atticus, it is worse than we thought. They are going to target the magical conference that will be taking place at Hexley Hall". A man said to the being named Atticus as he has green hazel eyes.
The older princess nods in agreement as they got more clues about another plot that they are planning. "Not only that, they plan to target the royal sorcerer of Enchancia as well". The older princess said to Atticus as they got intel about a target of theirs.
The Paladin being named Atticus frowns as this is not good as he is wearing a magical item on his wrist. "Silent Watcher Princess of Amora, I want you to go undercover as a maid at the Enchancia Castle and keep an eye on the royal sorcerer of Enchancia. The King and Queen of Enchancia needs to know that their royal sorcerer is in great danger. Silent watcher Garcia Roberts, with your upcoming wedding, there will be plenty of activities with the guests that will be there. Plus if the royal sorcerer of Enchancia will be there at the wedding, keep an eye on him. There will be undercover council members and silent watchers at the conference. Those Medusa stones need to be recovered". Atticus said to them as they have the priority of getting them recovered.
The princess looks at Atticus as she has a question. "How can we get those Medusa stones without been seen or caught"? The princess asks Atticus as she is wondering what the plan is going to be.
Atticus looks at them as he has intel about the release of the legendary stones. "Our intel has confirmed that the Medusa stones will be handed out by Grimtrix at a special meeting at the conference. We will have council members undercover and launch tracking spells on those who will take the Medusa Stone with them. That's when we will take them out and neutralize them before they strike on the kingdoms. Also if the royal sorcerer of Enchancia does not take a Medusa stone with him, that proof will be need to forward to King of Enchancia immediately before anything happens". Atticus said to them as the proof needs to get to Roland immediately.
The princess nods as she understands the plans. "I understand that Atticus. However, there will be kids there. We need to set limits on how many kids to come in with their sorcerer. It needs to be one prince or one princess". The princess said to Atticus as she wants to put that limit.
Atticus looks at them as he sighs as the event is coming up too soon.. "Of course, however, under no circumstances that I will not place an age requirement as well". Atticus said to them as he is not going to place an age limit on things.
The princess sighs as she wants the age limit in place. "Very well", the princess said to Atticus as she gets her assignment.
Atticus nods as he looks at the two of them. "Good, Silent Watcher Garcia Roberts, keep up with your investigation on Renee. Plus Silent Watcher Princess of Amora, notify me when you have arrived to the Enchancia castle". Atticus said to them as he wants them to get going.
The princess nods as she looks at Atticus as her partner agrees. "Of course", the princess said to Atticus as she is ready to do her next mission.
Atticus nods as he looks at them. "Excellent, may the Eyes of the Silent Watchers guide the both of you, good luck". Atticus said to them as the magical call ends. As the silent watchers takes off into the night, they are going into the next investigation with a new focus in mind.
