Sofia : Sins of the Grandparents and In-Laws
King Roland finds himself in a dark and desolate place as there is a lot of darkness and evil around him. He frowns as this is something that he has never seen before. "What is going on here"? King Roland asks himself as he is not expecting this to be happening.
"Stand by him, King Roland", a voice said to Roland as he is calling him by name.
Roland is stunned and confused as he hears a voice. "What the, who is there"? Roland asks out there as the voice has caught him very off guard.
A young boy walks toward him as he has dirty blonde hair and light golden brown eyes. His facial features are similar to Cedric's as he has a solemn expression on his face. "You are looking for me, your majesty. They say that heaven's grace goes to someone undeserving of it". The young boy said to Roland as if he has the innocence of a child.
Roland is stunned as he looks at the young boy as can see Cedric in him. "Who are you? Plus this is not a place for little boys". Roland asks the young boy as his first thought is to get him out of here.
The young boy looks at Roland as he shakes his head to him. "My best friend calls me Antonio, but I think my real first name is Evan. You need to help him to break free from his inner darkness". The boy named Evan said to Roland as he shows him a strange diamond-like cell that is keeping a person in it.
Roland is stunned as he sees the person trapped in it as he is out cold and surrounded by the strange inner darkness like it is guarding him. "That's Cedric, but how did he end up in this? I don't understand any of this". Roland said to Evan as he tries to break through the inner darkness that is guarding him but it is thick.
Evan looks at Roland as he helps him up as he went from a young boy to a teenager. "Every negative feeling, physical pain, heartbreak, and sadness that my dad has ever faced is the inner darkness that is keeping him trapped like this, your majesty. The more inner darkness a person has the more likely and easier for others who are truly evil to take advantage and manipulated him". Evan said to Roland as he explains it to him.
Roland looks at Evan as he is stunned as hears something correctly. "Wait are you saying that Cedric is your dad, but I don't understand". Roland said to Evan as he is confused about it.
Evan nods as he looks at Roland as if it is correct. "I am the product of what my birth mother did to him while he was held captive against his will. I have been told of it ever since I was little by my stepparents. My stepmother made it clear that I am not family to them even when they adopted me under pretenses". Evan said to Roland as he reveals that to him.
Roland looks at Evan and is stunned as he is getting the full detail about it. He notices two lights working their way into the darkness that is blocking him. "I see what is those lights that are reaching towards him". Roland asks Evan as he is wondering about it.
Evan looks at Roland as if he knows what it is. "Those are the only two lights that have always reached him. They first started to appear a few years ago. They have been a constant source of light. However, sooner than later more will need to enter and stand by my dad against the truly evil darkness that is coming". Evan said to Roland as he explains it.
Roland looks at Evan as he is getting the feeling of who it is. "You mean Sofia and Madeline, but what do you mean by the incoming truly evil darkness"? Roland asks Evan as he does not realize that danger is coming.
Evan looks at Roland as an evil voice is coming and laughing at them. He went back to his young boy's look as he is getting scared. "I am talking about that". Evan said to Roland as they see an evil silhouette of a person heading toward them.
The silhouette is coming towards them as a figure of Cedric is also there. "Since you refused to take a Medusa Stone and handed it back to me and going good on your own, I will make sure that a certain king gets to hear it". The voice of Grimtrix said to them as he points a wand with a stone aimed at Roland and fires the spell toward him
As Roland sees the spell coming the figure of Cedric pushes him out of the way and he gets hit instead. Shining light shines as it pulls Roland out of the dark place. He is stunned as he finds himself in the heavenly scenery he is very confused. "Hello, is anyone out there"? Roland asks out there as he is very confused about things. He is stunned as he sees a unique and special sword as it appears to him the mirror also appears as a ghostly woman looks at Roland. "Who, who are you"? Roland asks the woman in the mirror as he can see Madeline in the woman.
The Angelic Spirit looks at Roland as she is looking at him like she knows he has done something wrong. "I am the angelic spirit. What you saw is a clear warning that something bad is going to happen very soon, Enchancia King. You have failed to see the true strength and bravery in the those who are young and brave". The Angelic Spirit said to Roland as she is getting on to him.
Roland looks at the Angelic Spirit as he is stunned by it. "Are you talking about Sofia and Madeline"? Roland asks the Angelic Spirit as he is wondering about it.
The Angelic Spirit nods as he got it correct. "That's correct, Enchancia King, you need to admit to yourself and to others that you have been underestimating them and being dismissive of any kind of magical situations. You need to open your eyes to the people who have changed and that will make powerful choices that will make shock waves to the entire family and others around you". The Angelic Spirit said to Roland as she explains it.
Roland looks at the Angelic Spirit as he is stunned by this. "What do you mean by that? There hasn't been anyone that I know of that has made those changes". Roland said to the Angelic Spirit as he is very skeptical about it.
The Angelic Spirit looks at Roland as she sighs as she can tell that he is being skeptical about it. "It takes a lot of courage for someone to cut off the evil desires in front of those who have seen how easy to get them to go on the evil pathway in the world. Also sometimes, that person will make a great sacrifice to save someone else willingly by their own choices to prove their actions are deeply true. Plus when that happens, you have to start seeing the light on how a person has changed". The Angelic Spirit said to Roland as she is getting through to him.
Roland looks at the Angelic Spirit as he is starting to understand. "I see", Roland said to the Angelic Spirit as he has a lot to think about.
The Angelic Spirit looks at Roland as she deeply sees that it has gotten through not him. "One other thing, when someone goes up and beyond the call of duty for you, you must go up and beyond the call of duty back to the same person even in dire circumstances, good luck". The Angelic Spirit said to Roland as she gives him a clue about things.
Roland is stunned by the Angelic Spirit's words as she is giving him a huge clue about it. 'Why do I get the feeling that something will happen very soon? Roland thought to himself as the dream ends.
End Dream
Roland wakes up as he is in a bedroom at his in-law's mansion. He looks at Miranda who is still asleep as he thinks about things yesterday. He saw Cedric looking like he is a man on a mission as he somehow knows that something was wrong. 'How did Cedric know that something was wrong with Madeline? Was it the amulet that told him? Plus why did he pick up it much faster than Miranda'? Roland thought to himself as he is thinking about things. He gets out of bed as he went gets dressed as it is sunrise. He spots Enrique outside meditating.
Enrique senses Roland coming as he can tell that something is bothering him. "You are in deep thought for this early in the morning, Roland. I sense that you are deeply conflicted about something in your mind and heart". Enrique said to Roland as he figured it out.
Roland looks at Enrique as he nods as sits across from him. "Well yes, it is about my royal sorcerer Cedric. He somehow figured out that something was wrong with Madeline and then you and Josephine showed up and told us that Madeline had an anaphylactic shock at your home". Roland said to Enrique as he is deeply confused and conflicted.
Enrique looks at Roland as he has heard of Cedric from Goodwyn the Grand Magical Council. "Goodwyn and Winnifred's younger son, I have heard about him in conversation and saw him at his sorcerer review meeting every six years. I was on the panel of members in his last review. He looked very nervous about us. Tell me, what was Cedric's expression on his face? Was he panicked or was he calm but in a hurry"? Enrique asks Roland as he is wondering about things.
Roland looks at Enrique as he thinks about it. "He was very calm but in a hurry. He was not carrying his wand or anything like that. He looked like he is a man on a mission if that makes sense". Roland said to Enrique as he explains what happened. "Come to think of it, Sofia and Amber were stunned and surprised when Cedric asked them where Madeline was". Roland said to Enrique as he is wondering what that could be about.
Enrique looks at Roland as he ponders about it. "How close Cedric is to Madeline? Is their bond very deep"? Enrique asks Roland as he is starting to figure it out.
Roland looks at Enrique as he is wondering where this is going. "They are close like best friends. Although Sofia does have a close friendship bond with Cedric, it is not as deep as Madeline does. Why do you ask"? Roland said to Enrique as he is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Roland as he thinks about it as has a strong suspicion about it. "It is highly likely that Cedric is magically intuned with Madeline because of the very deep bond. With that, if something happens to her or Cedric that involves heavy spells on either of them, they are the only ones that can use a very powerful healing spell to heal from it". Enrique said to Roland as he has his suspicions about it.
Roland looks at Enrique as he is stunned as he hears that one correctly. "Magically intuned but Madeline is not magical. I mean she and Sofia take magic lessons from Cedric, but she is not magical. I mean sure they both wear an amulet of Avalor and they freed a princess. Plus she is just a ten-year-old girl". Roland said to Enrique as this was something that is over his head.
Enrique looks at Roland as he can tell that he is not very versed in magic. "Roland, a powerful amulet not only protects a princess. It also has the power to protect those who have rare to extremely rare magical signatures". Enrique said to Roland as he has a suspicion about it.
Roland looks at Enrique as he is stunned by this. "Umm a magical signature, what is it exactly"? Roland asks Enrique as he has never heard about it.
Enrique looks at Roland as this is going to be explained. "A magical signature is a fingerprint of a magical being like Cedric. Like fingerprints, no two magical signatures are the same. In my line of work as a magical investigator, I use a spell to determine if a crime has magical components or not. If it is a magical crime I record the magical signature to conduct my investigation and find the magical criminal and bring him to justice. However, a magical signature check is always done at the birth of the child. It is extremely highly likely that Miranda had zero knowledge about Madeline's magical signature. However, it is also highly likely that Madeline's birth mother knew how magical her child is". Enrique said to Roland as he explains it to him.
Roland looks at Enrique as it does make a lot of sense to him. "That does make a lot of sense to me. Miranda was at home with Sofia when her first husband brought Madeline home. They officially adopted her on Miranda's birthday". Roland said to Enrique as he is wondering about it. "Should Miranda and I get Madeline's magical signature checked though"? Roland asks Enrique as he is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Roland as this is going to be a difficult thing to do. "Yes, you should get it checked. However, there is a very strict rule on it. If a child who might be magical is being raised by non-biological relatives in an adoption, the adoptive parents are prohibited from getting the child's magical signature checked. The only two ways that adoptive parents can get the child's magical signature checked is either getting permission from a family member from the child's biological family. However, the other way is to find out if the child does have any biological family who is still alive or if they have passed away with the use of the genealogy crystal ball. If the child doesn't have any biological family members left then you and Miranda will have to meet with the head chairman of the Grand Magical Council and show him that proof. Then you and Miranda can go ahead with it. If the child does have those biological family members who are alive, then you and Miranda will have to gain that permission". Enrique said to Roland as he shows him the proof of the very strict rules in the Grand Magical Council handbook.
Roland looks at the handbook and the rule is there and written in stone. "Who came up with this regulation and why? It is very restrictive to the adopted parents". Roland said to Enrique as this rule was in place.
Enrique looks at Roland as he can tell that he is frustrated with the rule. "It was created and made by the Paladins of the Mystic Isles. The rule is put into place to protect the child from their magical abilities being exploited by the adoptive parents. It is also created to protect the biological families from being pressured by the adoptive family into giving that permission. I can tell that you are a great father and stepfather. Plus being an adoptive father will be new to you as well as being an adoptive grandfather will be new to me, Josephine, Lady Agatha, and all of the families involved. Plus the truth is that Miranda knows what it is like to be an adoptive mother by being one for years". Enrique said to Roland as he explains it further.
Roland looks at Enrique as he is getting the feeling about things. "Josephine though, she did make Madeline cry yesterday. Mind explaining about the issue"? Roland asks Enrique as he is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Roland as he sighs as he doesn't like how Josephine is with her yesterday. "Josephine said snide remarks towards Madeline. She saw a lot of Miranda's first boyfriend in her and she could tell that Madeline doesn't resemble Miranda in the slightest right away. She could tell that Miranda adopted Madeline. To Josephine, Miranda has gone beyond the call of duty of being a better mom than she was and succeeded in ways that she didn't do. Josephine is jealous and took it out on Madeline. She displaced her emotions for years and did that to Miranda even when she was a teenager. Josephine has been getting consoling for it in the last four years. The news of the lie that Renee has told the family being exposed to the entire family didn't help at all. She said choice words about Renee in front of me, my wife, and the grown children. The young kids didn't hear it thank heavens, but it has given Josephine a setback with her issues and demons. I have told her over the years that she repeated cycles that her parents placed on her. There are things that I am not even proud of either. I do deeply regret not saving Miranda from what Josephine did to her and what she wanted her to do back then. However, when she tried to do that again to Rosa, I caught it in time and divorced Josephine". Enrique said to Roland as he explains it.
Roland looks at Enrique as he is stunned by this. "I had no idea about that". Roland said to Enrique as this is going to be a heavy issue.
Enrique looks at Roland as he nods in agreement. "Yes, her parent's views, values, rules, and very controlling borderline abusive territory have deeply affected Josephine to this day. The only Clarke family member who has truly escaped from it is Benjamin. When he got married to his wife Serena, he took her last name as a way to stick to his parents there very toxic rules. His parents and his older brother did not take it well at all. They pretty much cut him out of their lives. In Benjamin's defense, he saw how mean and cruel they were to Josephine and his other brother named Edmond. Plus he was the only brother that Josephine was close with. During that last visit, Josephine said goodbye to them and told Benjamin that he needs to leave the family when he is old enough to do it. She also told him that it will be too difficult to stay in touch and contact because their parents will find out about it. From what I remembered, Benjamin took Josephine's words very seriously". Enrique said to Roland as he explains things to him.
Roland nods as Benjamin is the only Clarke family member that will be allowed to be around them. "I see what about Edmond and the other brother. Where they are now"? Roland asks Enrique as he is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Roland as he nods to him. "Johnathan and his wife are in jail in the kingdom of Norberg for a multitude of charges. They lost their parental rights to their daughter Chloe. She is with Benjamin and his wife named Serena. You all will meet her very soon for the wedding preparations and wedding. Johnathan is the only one that continues the genius Clarke family views. According to the Constable there, Johnathan and his wife are deeply involved with an evil society that follows the same abusive and very strange rules. The Grand Magical Council is involved to see who the leaders are but there is not much known about them. As far as Edmond is concerned, no one knows where he is, but he likely suffered a lot in the family". Enrique said to Roland as he explains it to him.
Roland looks at Enrique as he understands that now. "I see. There is a lot to process". Roland said to Enrique as he has a lot to think about.
Enrique nods as he can tell that Roland is processing things. "Roland, a parent will have to face the sins of the things that they have done. It is up to the children to break the cycle from repeating itself and kept from happening again. Yet, the parents will need to admit the sins of what they have done and truly own up to those past mistakes and make things right". Enrique said to Roland as he pass along words of wisdom.
Roland looks at Enrique as he nods as they went back to the house together as the day will soon begin.
...
That morning, everyone is dressed and in the grand dining room as breakfast is served as a usual breakfast food is cooked and made. Madeline looks at the table as the adults are on one side while the kids are on the other side. Madeline is feeling better as she meets her newly found cousins. "So Miranda Louise, how about a practice race after breakfast before we go back to the castle". Madeline said to Miranda Louise as she is wanting to race after breakfast.
Miranda Louise looks at Madeline as she lightly smiles as it is a great challenge. "You are on Madeline. Plus, I will not go easy on you". Miranda Louise said to Madeline as she does not plan to go easy on her. Madeline nods as she plans to do the same as the adults are getting intrigued by the impending race.
Alex nods as he looks at them as is looking forward to it. "This will be awesome the best at Royal Prep Vs the best at the Magma Institute. This is something I do want to see". Alex said to them as he will join Miranda Louise as her partner in the race.
Madeline looks at James as she wants him to be her teammate in the race. "So James, do you want to race with me please"? Madeline asks James as she is wondering if he will race with her.
James looks at Madeline as he nods Sofia is stunned that Madeline didn't pick her to race with her. "I have no reason why not. Plus this will be a warm-up for flying derby season". James said to them as he is looking forward to it.
Sofia looks at Madeline as she is a bit disappointed about the decision that she made. "Are you sure Madeline? Plus are you feeling up to racing"? Sofia asks Madeline as she is hoping that she changes her mind about it.
Madeline looks at Sofia as she nods to her as she is firm with her choice. "Yes, I am sure Sofia. Plus, I am fine. Dr. Lucy made sure that I rested. She is nice like Dr. Kim but she is not mean like Dr. Elizabeth". Madeline said to Sofia as she brings up a name that no one expected to.
Lady Agatha looks at Madeline as a familiar name is mentioned in front of her. She looks like she has just seen a ghost as she has tears in her eyes. She leaves the room as the adults look at Madeline as if it is something that shouldn't have been mentioned.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she knows that the girl didn't mean to say that name. "Oh dear", Miranda said to them as the other adults have that bless her heart expression on their faces.
Madeline looks at everyone at the table as she is very confused about it. She has no idea what she just did. "What, I was just saying how nice Dr. Lucy is and not awful like Dr. Elizabeth is". Madeline said to them as she said the name again as Lady Agatha is not in the room.
The kids are also confused as Madeline mentioned the name again. They are clueless like they have been thrown for a loop.
"Umm Madeline, I think it is best to refrain from mentioning that name". Amber said to Madeline as she is getting the feeling that it is an adult conversation that is coming.
Miranda nods as she agrees with Amber as Enrique did go to check on Lady Agatha. "Yes, I do and you need to think a little before talking". Miranda said to Madeline as she looks at the kids. "Plus, you kids need to run along and get ready for the mini race". Miranda said to Madeline and the kids.
(Madeline looks at Miranda as she sighs to her as she knows that she needs to get ready to race.)
"Ok mom", Madeline said to Miranda as she and the other kids nod as they need to check this out.
As the kids have finished eating breakfast, Lady Agatha returns to the table as she finished wiping her eyes. "I am sorry. It just hearing that name just haunts me so much". Lady Agatha said to them as she sits down she finished wiping her tears as Enrique is supportive of her.
Miranda nods as she looks at Lady Agatha as she needs to apologize. "I do apologize about Madeline. It just she didn't know and that name does work at the castle". Miranda said to Lady Agatha as she informs her that the doctor in question does work in Enchancia.
Lady Agatha looks at them as she sighs as she looks at Roland. "Apology accepted Queen Miranda, it is true that Madeline didn't know. However, I do ask that I need you to do a deep background check into her and talk to those who work very closely with her about anything that is very unusual and signs of red flags that should have been brought up years ago". Lady Agatha said to Roland and Miranda as she is deeply serious about it.
Miranda and Roland are stunned as they learn about the request to look into about Dr. Elizabeth. "I will look into it". Roland said to Lady Agatha as he is wondering why she wants that kind of request.
Lady Agatha nods as she looks at Roland as she thanks him for it. Enrique sighs as he knows what it is but out of respect towards Lady Agatha it should be more discussed more private with Roland and Miranda. Dr. Lucy nods as she looks at them as she needs to head to Enchancia with them. "I will need to head back with all of you and speak to Dr. Kim". Dr. Lucy said to them as she has some business in Enchancia.
...
Outside, the kids are heading down to the stables as it is different from the stables at the castle. Sofia is stunned to see bathrooms at the stables as this is very different. "Umm Madeline, what's with a bathroom in the stables"? Sofia asks Madeline as it is something that she never seen before.
Wendy walks up to them as she is carrying the two riding outfits that James and Madeline wore yesterday when they flew over. "It is something that Josephine insisted on when a member of the family returns from flying. I am Wendy, the stewardess of the stables". Wendy said to them as she introduces herself to Sofia and Amber as she greets the other kids coming in.
Amber is stunned as she didn't know this as she is really surprised. "A stewardess of the stables whoe who knew"
Miranda Louise nods as she looks at Amber as she will explain it. "Yep, Wendy runs the entire stables and has barn hands as well. Plus my dad and Uncle Ernesto also raced when they were kids and into teenage years. So Grandfather Enrique hired a stewardess of the stables and now it is Wendy that takes the reins of the stables. Grandmother Josephine forbade Auntie Rosa and Auntie Miranda from derby racing when they were growing up. She deemed it inappropriate for young ladies to do". Miranda Louise said to them as it is deeper.
Amber is stunned as Sofia learns about it a bit more. "Wow, Grandmother Josephine sticked to the prim and proper rules". Sofia said to Miranda Louise as it does explain about their mom's past a bit more.
Madeline nods as she got that full idea of it yesterday before the food allergy emergency. "Yeah, plus my grand mum loves racing as well". Madeline said to Miranda Louise as she is wondering about it.
Miranda Louise looks at Madeline as she lightly smiles to her. "Your grandmother must be really cool". Miranda Louise said to Madeline as they see the stable hands bringing out the horses.
Madeline nods as she looks at Miranda Louise as she sees Minimus being brought out to her. Madeline nods as she gets on the horse as it is not long that Miranda Louise and Alex had their horse plus James has his horse as well.
The group makes their way out to the derby track as Amber, Sofia, and Olivia went towards the parents while Alex catches up with Miranda Louise to go over the game plan. "So what's the game plan"? Alex asks Miranda Louise as they need to talk over strategy for the race.
Miranda Louise looks at Alex as James and Madeline are headings towards the starting line. "Well, since this is a practice race and we don't know what James and Madeline's racing style is. We are not doing anything fancy like we do for tournaments. We just observe their movements and give them a clean race". Miranda Louise said to Alex as she knows that this is not the time to show off towards them.
Alex nods as he understands the plan as he knows that she is right on not showing off towards them. "Got it", Alex said to Miranda Louise as they went on ahead.
James looks at Madeline as they are stunned by this. "Why do I get the feeling that they are much more skilled"? James said to Madeline as he is wondering about it.
Madeline looks at James. "They probably know a lot more derby moves than us James. Plus, their dad's also raced, and Grandfather also raced to. Let's give them a good race". Madeline said to James as this is going to be a hard race to deal with.
Sofia looks at them as the race is about to get started. "Good luck Maddie and James", Sofia said to James and Madeline as she wishes them luck. James and Madeline thanks Sofia as it is not long that race gets started.
As the four racers went to the starting line, Rebecca looks at them. "On your mark, get set, go", Rebecca said to them as the race gets started as the four horses are taking off.
As the four races takes off in the race, the four kids are having fun as they are having a clean race. Sofia is standing next to Enrique while Amber and Olivia are with the other adults in the stands. is Enrique is watching the kids very closely as he notices something in Madeline as she and Miranda Louise are at neck and neck with each other.
Enrique ponders about it as he sees Sofia next to him as he is wondering about things. "Sofia was Madeline so good at riding"? Enrique asks Sofia as he is wondering the skill level that Madeline has.
Sofia looks at Enrique as she is stunned by the question. "Well no, when we first started a few years ago, we were both very beginners at flying derby and gotten interested while at Royal Prep. Why"? Sofia asks Enrique as she is wondering about the question.
Enrique looks at Sofia as he ponders about it. "Madeline is a natural derby racer. The way she rides Minimus and know what they are going to. It reminds me of a rider that I used to coach, but that was a long time ago". Enrique said to Sofia as he sees something in Madeline.
Sofia is stunned as she didn't know that Enrique used to coach flying derby as well. As the race continues on, Madeline and Miranda Louise ties for first while James finished after them and lastly Alex. The adults and kids clap for a good race as it turned out to be a tie between Miranda Louise and Madeline.
Miranda Louise looks at Madeline as the two landed their flying horses. "I must admit you are really good. You gave me a run for my money". Miranda Louise said to Madeline as she admits that she is really good.
Madeline nods as she looks at Miranda Louise as she thanks her for a good race. "Same here, you didn't make things easy either". Madeline said to Miranda Louise as she sees a new friendly rival in the derby. "Maybe next time, we will be in the Last Round at a tournament". Madeline said to Miranda Louise as she wants to
Miranda Louise nods as she looks at Madeline as there is something she did notice. "You got it. Plus you are a natural. With your younger age, you can easily prove that underestimating you on the derby track will be costly mistake on their part. If I were you, I would take full advantage of it". Miranda Louise said to Madeline as she can tell that it will be huge mistake on future derby opponents.
Madeline looks at Miranda Louise as she is stunned to receive that kind of compliment about it. "You are right about that Miranda Louise. Plus, I think I will take advantage of that". Madeline said to Miranda Louise as she will need to do that.
As the kids went back to the stables, they quickly get changed back into normal clothes. The adults nod in agreement as the all need to get going. "I do believe it is time to head towards the Enchancia Castle for long adult talks". Roland said to the other adults. The adults nod in agreement. As they get ready to go, James and Madeline are in their horses as they will fly back.
Miranda looks at James and Madeline as she sighs as the two want to ride their flying horses back to Enchancia. "Ok you two, but head straight home". Miranda said to them as she wants them to go to the castle. James and Madeline nod as they will do what she said.
...
Back in Enchancia, Baileywick sighs as he just finished introducing a new maid named Nikki to the rest of the maids and servants in the castle as she is joining them. Nikki got a tour of the castle as she is getting started to work. She went to a private area to make the call to Atticus to let him know that she has arrived to the castle and going to get started with her work. As the call ends, Nikki is working hard as she is picking on who to keep an eye on while she is here.
In the workshop, Cedric is looking in a spell book as he is looking for a potion that can reveal the true nature of a person or creature. As he got to the right page, he is grabbing some ingredients for the potion. Cedric notice that Wormwood still has not returned yet as he opens up the window to let him in. He turns his focus back to the potion at hand, and all of the sudden something hits the back of the neck like it was thrown at him. Cedric hit it as he thought it was a bug of some sort. He shrugs it off as Wormwood returns like nothing even happened. Cedric looks at Wormwood as he does not suspect that he could have done anything as he went back to work on the true nature potion.
Back in the sky, James and Madeline are flying together as they are half way there to Enchancia. "Hey James, do you think we gotten more about mom's life that we couldn't get from before"? Madeline asks James as she is wondering about it.
James looks at Madeline as he nods to her as he can agree to that. "Yeah, Grandmother Josephine looks really scary and intimidating though. I think she realized that something was wrong last night when you had that allergic reaction. I mean Lady Agatha really took action and got her off her high horse and go get mom and dad". James said to Madeline as he is thinking about last night.
Madeline looks at James as she agrees as she senses something being off, but she can't place it like she does not know what it is or who it hit. "Yeah you are right, I will race you home". Madeline said to James as she takes off towards the castle.
James is stunned as Madeline gets Minimus to fly faster as this came out almost no where. "Hey wait a minute", James said to Madeline as he gets Echo to fly faster. As he catches up to her, James is very confused about why Madeline wants to go faster all of the sudden. He shrugs this as they make it back to Enchancia castle. As they put their horses back in the castle stables, Madeline is running back to the castle as James is still running after her. "Maddie wait up please". James said to Madeline as he is wondering why is she running so fast.
As James finally caught up with Madeline, he sees what it got Madeline to stop running in her tracks. Madeline looks at two carriages that has arrived to the castle with an Enchancia flag on it. Three people get out of the two carriages as they spot the two kids heading this way. "Grandmum, Aunt Tilly", Madeline said to them as she runs to greet them.
James looks at the man as he is stunned to see him as well. "Grandfather the first, it has been so long since I last saw you". James said to Roland the first as he went to hug him.
The relatives hugs James and Madeline as the two kids are a bit confused about their arrival. "Grandfather the first, what brings you here? Don't you usually send a letter prior to the day of the visit"? James asks Roland the first as he is wondering about it.
Roland the first nods as he sees the girl with Grand mum and Tilly as he sighs as it will be a long adult talk. "Yes, your grand mum and I sent letters to your parents yesterday afternoon. Yet, it appears that they are not here". Roland the first said to James as he is wondering what is going on.
James looks at them as he needs to explain about it. "Mom and dad had an emergency yesterday at mom's parents house in Gladiz involving Madeline. We flew our flying horses back here and they should be coming here soon". James said to Roland the first as he explains a bit about the situation.
Roland the first nods as he looks at Madeline as Baileywick comes out as he is stunned and surprised by their arrival as he didn't know that they will be coming today. "Oh my Grand King Roland the First, I am sorry. I didn't know that you will be coming today along with Grand Queen and Duchess Matilda. Please all of you come in". Baileywick said to them as he didn't get the letters.
The three arrivals are stunned as James and Madeline are confused as they learn that Baileywick didn't get their letters. "That is very strange Baileywick. Lest head inside and wait for Roland and Miranda to get back". Kimberly said to Baileywick as she finds it really strange.
Tilly looks at the kids as they head inside of the castle to the living room as they sit in the living room. "What kind of emergency with Madeline exactly"? Tilly asks them as she is wondering about it.
James looks at them as he needs to be honest with them. "Madeline had an allergic reaction to the cherry cookies yesterday at mom's parents house". James said to them as he explains about it.
Roland the first frowns as he notices that Madeline does not have something very important. "What, then why does she doesn't have a medical bracelet that says that she is allergic to cherries and how to treat it"? Roland asks them as he is wondering why she does not have one.
Kimberly looks at Roland the First as she gives him a look as Madeline is surprised to see the man being this angry. "Now you care about Madeline when years earlier you didn't want anything to do with her, Sofia, and her mother"? Kimberly asks Roland the first as she gives him a look.
Tilly looks at them as she separates the two of them as this is going to be bad. "That's enough you two, you are here to make things right with Roland, dad". Tilly said to Roland the first as she reminds him why he is here at the castle.
It is then Roland, Miranda, the various adults and the kids has gotten back as they went into the living room as they see Roland the First, Kimberly, and Tilly in the living room. "Dad, what are you doing here"? Roland the second asks his father as Sofia is stunned as this man is Roland's dad as things just turned very interesting. Amber is stunned and surprised to see Roland the first as well as she has not seen him in ages.
Roland the first looks at Roland as he sees all sorts of people with Roland and Miranda as well as new people as well. "I came to talk to you, but who are all of those people with you"? Roland the first as he is wondering about them.
Roland looks at Roland the first as this is going to need a bigger room to talk in. "That is Miranda's side of the family along with her stepmother and her three adult children, and Rosa's fiancé and his little family". Roland said to Roland the first as Baileywick returns as the group is very big. He turns to Baileywick as he nods to him. "Tell the kitchen staff to prepare tea and coffee for the adults. "Everyone lets go to the dining room to talk". Roland said to them as this is going to be a long talk.
Everyone went to the dining room as they take a seat at the table. Baileywick walks in the room as he gets some water, tea, and coffee for all of them. Roland looks at them as he sees the various kids. "Before the kids go up to the playroom, I want the new kids to introduce themselves to us". Roland said to them as he wants to know about the new girl and teenage girl that also came to the castle to speak to them.
A girl with reddish brown hair looks at them as the Enchancia royal kids notice her characteristics. "My name is Jennifer Desiree Garcia Roberts, your majesty. I am 11 years old. My dad is Lorenzo and this is my grandfather Fernando. My birthday is June 11th". A girl named Jennifer said to them as the other cousins knows her.
A teenager went up next as this is a new thing to her. "My name is Chloe Noble. I am 16 years old. My adoptive parents well, they are actually my biological aunt and Uncle. I am actually Jennifer's aunt. Her mom is my much older sister. It is a very complicated situation and story your majesties". A teenage girl named a Chloe said to them as she does not know how in depth her life story should get into right now.
Roland nods as he gives the nod to the young kids to leave the room to go up to the play room. Roland the first looks at the aunt and uncle next to Chloe. "How do you know Miranda's side of the family? Plus how did Chloe come to live with you and your wife". Roland the first asks them as he is curious about it.
Benjamin looks at them as this is the first time in a very long time that he got to see his older sister. "My name is Duke Benjamin Noble of the kingdom of Amora. Josephine is my much older sister. Growing up, myself, Johnathan Chloe's father, and Edmond were the golden boys and Josephine was more the scapegoat child. They were strict, deeply harsh, and very controlling towards her while we got to do anything that we wanted to do. I knew from a young age that I didn't want that life, so I pretty much focused on my studies and stayed out of trouble. By the time I was 18, I planned an escape route out of the house and out of Norberg. I pretty much had to save myself. Unfortunately, I couldn't save Edmond because my parents found out that Edmond to them broke the society rules. If I tried to save Edmond, my parents and the society would have caught me as well. As for a Johnathan well, he became the ultimate golden child because he was the only one that followed the rules and carried in those rules. With Josephine, my parents had a super strict arranged marriage on her to Enrique. It is very strong arranged marriage contract that there were conditions about divorce in it and my parents will when they passed away five years ago. With Chloe, her sister Eliza had a Will that states if her parents gets arrested for any felony crimes, Chloe will go to Uncle Benjamin and Aunt Serena". Benjamin said to them as he fully explained what happen.
Roland the first nods as he looks at them as everything worked out. "I see you may join the other kids in the playroom". Roland said to chloe. Chloe nods as she leaves the room as Baileywick shows her where it is.
...
He looks at the two women next to Enrique. "So how do you two know Miranda"? Roland asks Josephine and Lady Agatha as he looks at the two women next.
Josephine looks at Roland as she can tell that he has that traditionalist demeanor. "I am actually Miranda's mother. Rosa, Rodrigo, Ernesto are my kids as well. Rebecca is my only daughter-in-law now. Enrique and I are divorced". Josephine said to them as she explains that her kids and only daughter in law to him.
Lady Agatha looks at Roland the first as this will be a long introduction. "My name is Lady Agatha Wolfe the Nightingale Sorceress. I am Miranda's step mother. These are my kids, Levi, Yvette, and Lucy. Lucy is actually a doctor". Lady Agatha said to them
Enrique looks at Roland the first as this will be a showdown. "My name is Enrique. I am Miranda's father". Enrique said to Roland the first as he introduces himself to him.
Roland the first nods as he introduces himself, his daughter Tilly, and his ex-wife Kimberly to the group. Kimberly looks at Josephine and Enrique as she has finally has names to faces on those that was not at the wedding. "Josephine, how come you and Enrique were not at Roland's and Miranda's wedding"? Kimberly asks Josephine and Enrique as she leaves Lady Agatha out from the tough questions.
Josephine looks at Kimberly as she places the invitation for Roland and Miranda's wedding on the table. "Like I said Rebecca is the only daughter in law in the family. I did have another daughter in law, but she has deeply lied to the family and deeply lied to me. That so called daughter in law did what ever it took to keep Miranda from us and kept us from Miranda. However, I have done a lot of things that I am not proud of especially towards Miranda. Things that has painful consequences that has price of missing out on the milestones, events that too happened to Miranda, and things that I continued to do because the things that my parents did to me. You know how it goes with a generational cycle". Josephine said to them as she starts things.
Kimberly looks at Josephine as she gives her a look. "Generational cycle, that would explain why the kids especially Madeline never meet you before now. Plus it would explain why we never saw you two at the wedding". Kimberly said to Josephine as she is ready to have a showdown with her.
Enrique looks at them as he sighs looks at Kimberly and Josephine. "That's enough, we all have been greatly deceived by Renee. Plus I was fooled and manipulated by Josephine with the arranged marriage for Miranda when she was younger when I never had any kind of involvement with it. I failed Miranda once, and I promised myself that it wouldn't happen again. I have carried that guilt for years ". Enrique said to them as he admits his own faults about thing.
Miranda is stunned as she hears that one correctly as she is wondering about something else. "Are you and dad telling me that you and dad knew I didn't finish school'? Miranda asks them as she lets out her own past secret that she never opened up about.
Josephine looks at Miranda as she is shocked and stunned. "No, we had no knowledge about that Miranda. That father of the boy that I picked for you to marry is the one that signed those forms". Josephine said to them as she never had any kind of knowledge.
Enrique looks at them as he is just as angry about it. "I was furious that he did that. I told them down right that they had no right to do that". Enrique said to them as he explains that they did it anyways.
Roland the second is stunned as he looks at Miranda like he just got betrayed by her secret. "You didn't finish school Miranda"? Roland the second asks Miranda as this is something about it.
Miranda looks at her husband as tears built in her eyes as she is getting upset. "No, I was in a really bad place. My first born son was adopted away, and then mom had that arranged marriage that I didn't want. I was lead to believe that dad was in on it. I left home. About several months later, I was in a different kingdom. The boy that mom picked in the arranged marriage attacked me and did horrible things to me. The next thing I knew I heard dogs barking. They chased that boy away. I saw a woman coming towards me. It was you Serena. She took me to the castle hospital where I got treated. That boy broke me. I never got pregnant with his child. I was only told that boy gotten expelled from school. When I was recovering in Amora, they had special laws for victims like me where information about me will not be released to others that wanted to know. For three months, I was scared of boys my age and had nightmares and panic attacks. The doctors and the royals realize that sending me to school will not be good for my recovery, so I ended up learning an apprenticeship in making shoes and dresses in Freezenburg under a woman named Gretchen. She helped me to get my confidence back and my fighting spirit back. It was in Freezenburg that reconnected with my first love. I told him about my first born son. I could not bring myself to tell him about the attack. So don't you dare make me feel ashamed about not finishing school Roland Timothy McArthur the second". Miranda said to Roland as she fires back towards him as she reveals much more deeper stuff.
Roland the Second looks at Miranda as he realizes the reason behind it as he comforts her. "Miranda please it is alright. You are my wife and the woman that I fell in love with". Roland said to Miranda as he understands about it.
Enrique looks at Miranda as he is furious about it. "Miranda, I did fail you back then. I had no knowledge about the arrange marriage to that boy. When Rosa was getting to that same age, I caught your mother with setting up that second arrange marriage with a different boy behind my back. I put a stop to it and divorced your mother. I had a lot of guilt about what happened to you for years. I tried to find you and end up getting lost for two weeks. Ever since then, I agrued with your mother post divorce about your siblings and what they want. I fought for them because it was something that you would do". Enrique said to Miranda as he explains about what he did since she left home.
Josephine looks at Miranda as she sighs to her. "Miranda, in the last few years, my health has been on the decline. That when I met Dr. Lucy. As she was treating me, we got to talking and that lead me to get counseling for the first time in my life. She told me that I carried the trauma and deeply controlling borderline abusive and I repeated that deep controlling. I repeated the truth that comes to the light. I repeated on sending you to that group home. I repeated those cycles because it was something that your grandparents did to me. I am deeply so sorry that I did all of that to you". Josephine said to Miranda as truly apologizes to her about it.
Miranda looks at Josephine as Dr. Lucy agrees as she is telling the truth. "Oh mom, I do forgive you. Plus I am thankful Madeline didn't learn how to question new people. She is more friendly, but I may had lead Sofia to used tough questions since she is a year older then Madeline". Miranda said to Josephine as she knows that things needs to change.
Josephine looks at Miranda as she nods as she can tell that it needs to be changed. "You need to talk to her about that Miranda". Josephine said to Miranda as she looks at Roland the first as she has that critical eye. "As for you Roland the first, this is the first time I have ever meet you. Why weren't you at your son's and my daughter's wedding"? Josephine asks Roland the first as she has that glare in her eyes.
Roland the first looks at them as he is getting scared beyond straight as he looks at Josephine. "I believed Renee's lies than my own son about Miranda. I have forgotten that Miranda was the one that saved Roland's fiance then first wife. I even also tried to break Roland and Miranda before they got married as well by setting Roland up with a different woman. That different woman wanted to get rid of Amber and James and she only wanted to have her future children with Roland and none from a previous relationship. That truth was exposed by a very different young woman. I never gotten her name". Roland the first said to them as he tells them a little bit about it.
Kimberly looks at Roland the first as she gives him a look as there is more mistakes as well. "Those are not the only mistakes you made Roland the first and you know it. It was because of you that broke up Cedric and Lorelei years ago. Those two were a better match than Roland and Lorelei. Not only that, you told a young lady that she will not be a proper match to Roland when they were young teenagers when she had that deep crush on him". Kimberly said to Roland as she reminds him about it.
Roland sighs as he remembers about it as he gives his dad a look. "I remember about her. She called me a coward for not turning her down like a gentleman would". Roland said to them as he remembers about it. "Plus, Lorelei was never happy with me while we were married to me". Roland said to Roland the first as he remembers about his first marriage.
Roland the first looks at them as he sighs to them as he knew what he did was wrong. "All I knew was a traditional love story between royals. I never knew what a different kind of love story entails or how it could work for that matter. The thought of a sorcerer or sorceress and a royal in love horrified me". Roland the first said to them as he didn't want a magical being married to a royal.
Fernando looks at them as he sighs as he does have that experience with a magical being and a royal love story. "A different kind of love story is something that needs to protected and let it prosper and flourish on its own between the couple. I have seen it with my own two eyes and I also saw it falling apart with my own two eyes. However, now that the mistakes and sins are admitted and the person who is responsible for the heinous lie is made known. We all have to put those mistakes behind and focus on the upcoming union between Rosa and Rodrigo as well as making plans for that person never to be in contact with the families". Fernando said to them as he wants to change the subject towards a better topic.
Lorenzo nods as he looks at them as he agrees. "I agree with my dad. There are a few details that we need to have the kids involved with it". Lorenzo said to them as Rosa nods as she has her wedding binder with the list of tasks and other things. The adults continue to talk as they also learn about other things.
...
Up in the playroom, Chloe is with the kids as she is pleased to see Jennifer. The Enchancia kids look at them as they are wondering about things. "Where do you guys go to school though"? Sofia asks them as she is wondering about it.
Chloe looks at them as she explains things to the, "All of us go to the Magma Institute in the Kingdom of Dominica. It is a school that has primary, middle and upper. Royals and non royals go to the school together and has a royal side and magical side of the school Also there is the day students and the boarding students. The boarding students actually live at school". Chloe said to them as the cousins nods as they know this.
Madeline looks at them as it is an intense school. "Woah, I had no idea that a school is very extensive. I mean James, Amber, Sofia, and I go to Royal Prep". Madeline said to them as she explains to them where they go to school.
The cousins are stunned as they look at Madeline as they were not expecting that one from her.
"Umm does she usually say long words like that"? Alex asks them as they are wondering about it.
James looks at them as he has a sheepish expression on his face. "Yeah, plus she is in the same class level as us". James said to them as he has gotten a lot of help from her.
Sofia looks at them as she is curious about Josephine and Lady Agatha. "So what does Lady Agatha and Grandmother Josephine do for a living"? Sofia asks them as she is curious about them.
Olivia looks at them as she will explain it to them. "Grandmother was actually the Headmistress of the School of a royal Fashions for a very long time before she retired. She always had a critical eye on every fashion piece that her students made, and she always point out the smallest of details as well". Olivia said to them
Miranda Louise looks at Madeline as she explains about it. "Lady Agatha is actually the new headmistress of Hexley Hall. Even though one of her specialties are healing spells, she is also an expert on magical martial arts and magical defenses as well". Miranda Louise said to them as she reveals more about Lady Agatha.
The Enchancia kids are stunned as they learn about them as Amber is pleased about Josephine's former job. "Fashion school really, I could tell that Grandmother Josephine is very sophiscated and very fashionable". Amber said to them as she will have someone to talk to about fashion as Olivia agrees.
Sofia is stunned as she and Madeline learn about Lady Agatha being the headmistress. "Really, Madeline and I have been to Hexley Hall with Mr. Cedric. However, he has not met her yet". Sofia said to them as she is wondering about things more.
Miranda Louise looks at them as she can understands about it. "Well, Lady Agatha took the job after the council and the royal school board fired him. Plus, Lady Agatha is going to make major changes starting with getting rid of Prank Day all together". Miranda Louise said to them as she explains about it.
James looks at them as he and his sisters sigh in relief as they don't have to deal with Prank Day again. "Thank goodness, it will be a nice change in things at school". James said to them as he has more reasons to look forward to.
The Enchancia siblings nod as they are looking forward with things. Alex looks at Jennifer as she will be his new step sister soon. "So how did you guys feel about having a step sister for the first time"? Alex asks them as he is wondering about it.
James looks at Alex as this will be a new thing for him. "It actually went ok, but if there is anything that I learned. It is not to play tricks on them especially one that knows big words and a fiery temper". James said to Alex as he is refereeing to Madeline about it. said it was fine but One never play a trick on step sisters especially one that know big words
Alex nods as he looks at them as he knows that James is referring to Madeline. "Noted", Alex said to James as he is not planning to trick Jennifer either.
Madeline looks at them as she is curious about something. "How did you know them and Chloe, Jennifer? I mean you and Olivia are close and you are very close with Chloe as well". Madeline asks Jennifer as she is wondering about it.
Jennifer looks at them as she explains about it.. "I also go to Magma Institute. We were in different friend groups at first. Olivia was one of the mean girls at school and we actually got into a fight at school. Headmaster Donald saw how completely different we are and gave us a choice either we serve a month of detention and four weekends of school detentions or spend two weeks switching lives and two weeks being at each other's houses. We chose the later option. We got to see what the other's life is like and bonded about things. We both opened up about things. I never had a mom or a female figure in my life and being surrounded by female figures was eye opening for me". Jennifer said to them as she gotten an eye opener about Olivia and her family.
Olivia nods as she looks at them as she learned a lot. "Yeah being at a Jennifer's house was very quiet and not a lot of people being around. I got to hear myself think and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I even saw how they work together to get chores done and not needing maids to do much of anything. We became best friends". Olivia said to them as the punishment fit the crime.
Chloe looks at them as she needs to explain about it. "Well, most of it is very complicated and you kids are way too young to know the most of it. The basic thing is that my parents were furious that I gotten to know Jennifer even in secret, and as a result my parents deeply punished me that lead them to be arrested. I ended with Uncle Benjamin and Aunt Serena of Amora who adopted me. They run a ranch in the kingdom of Amora, but they are actually Duke and Duchess of Amora. Aunt Serena's sister is actually the queen of Amora". Chloe said to them as she reveals that she is adopted and that she is with good people who are related to the king and queen of a kingdom.
Sofia looks at Chloe as she has a lot more questions. "When you said that you got adopted by Aunt Serena and Uncle Benjamin, you are truly ok with knowing that kind of thing. Why is that"? Sofia said to Chloe as Madeline looks at Chloe and Sofia as this is a new concept to her
Chloe looks at them as she is ok with those questions. "Well, in order for Aunt Serena and Uncle Benjamin to adopt me, my parents parental rights had to be terminated because of their crimes. I was 11 years old when it happened, and it was because of Lorenzo and Rosa that I am free from that horrible situation". Chloe said to them as she reveals about it.
Madeline is stunned by how much Chloe explained to them. She gives Sofia a look as this needs to stop. "Sofia why do you asked those tough questions"? Madeline asks Sofia as she is wondering why she is doing that.
Sofia looks at Madeline as she is dismayed by what she asked her. "Madeline, Chloe mentioned about being adopted like it is ok to open up about it. Plus she did say that it is because of Aunt Rosa and soon to be uncle Lorenzo that she is freed from that horrible situation". Sofia said to Madeline
Madeline looks at Sofia as she disagrees with her. "Well yes, but I don't think we are the suppose to know about adoption until we are older". Madeline said to Sofia as she knows that it is an deep adult stuff.
It is not long that Baileywick knocks on the door as he walks in. "Children, the adults wants to see all of you in the living room. Rosa and Lorenzo wants to tell you about the upcoming wedding". Baileywick said to them as he explains about things.
The kids and Chloe nod as they got up as they are looking forward to it. "Wedding awesome", Madeline said to Baileywick as she left the room as she drops the whole adoption talk that Chloe told them about
The kids went down stairs as they see the adults as they see another new adult that wasn't with the others earlier. Rosa looks at them as she smiles to them as she also introduces a woman named Nancy to them. "Next weekend is my and Lorenzo's wedding in Avalor. Most of it is already done except for the few other details including the members in the bridal party and groomsmen". Rosa said to them as she places her wedding binder down.
Amber is getting really excited about it as she notices the wedding binder that she put together. Plus Madeline is also getting excited about it.
"Awesome, are we going to be in the wedding"? Madeline asks Rosa as she is wondering about it.
Rosa nods as she looks at them as she has a lot of roles to give out to the kids. "Yes, plus you kids will be involved in the wedding itself. It is not going to be a royal wedding like you kids are used to seeing, but it will be grand neither the less". Rosa said to them as she explains about it.
James sigh in relief as there is not going to be a lot of royal duties with the wedding. "How will we be involved in it exactly"? James asks Rosa as he notices the other adults.
Rosa looks at James and Alex as she has roles for them. "James, you and Alex will be walking Grandmother Josephine down the aisle. Then Alex will be with Grandfather Enrique to give me away. James, you will be the ring bearer. Madeline and Jennifer, you two will be walking Fernando, my father in law down the aisle after my mother". Rosa said to them as she explains about their roles.
Madeline looks at the man named Fernando as she understands about it. "Is that it or do I get to other things as well"? Madeline asks Rosa as she is wondering about it.
Rosa looks at Madeline as the other adults can tell that she is not a very patient person. "There is more to it Madeline. After you and Jennifer escort Fernando down the aisle, Madeline, you will be the flower girl and jr. bridesmaid while Jennifer will be standing with the groomsmen as one of the best people. Alex will be on my side for the ceremony". Rosa said to them as she explains about it.
The kids are stunned as they look at Jennifer as she will be standing with the groomsmen. "Umm Auntie Rosa, should it be Alex on Lorenzo's side while Jennifer be on your side"? Sofia said to Rosa as she is wondering about it.
Rosa looks at Sofia as she shakes her head to her. "No dear, even though Jennifer is Lorenzo's daughter, they have the best father daughter relationship. Lorenzo has explained hard topics to her appropriate ages over the years. It is a parenting style that is very different even on the circumstances of their family. Plus with Alex on my side as my son, there will be things during the ceremony that will signify the union of a new family. It is very untraditional to most people's standards but it is something that works for our vision for the wedding". Rosa said to Sofia as she explains to her about it.
Sofia looks at Rosa as she sighs as Josephine nods in agreement with Rosa. "Sofia, when you are the bride, you get to create the vision of your own wedding. I have learned the hard way of not getting involved with the bride's vision understand", Josephine said to Sofia as she learned that the hard way.
Sofia looks at Josephine as she nods as she understands that now. "Yes Grandmother Josephine", Sofia said to Josephine as she does not like the fact that Rosa has her wedding .
Rosa sighs as she looks at them as she explains the other roles. "My best friend Nancy is my Maid of Honor. Miranda is the Matron of honor while the other bridesmaids are Chloe, Tilly, Lucy, Yvette, Amber, Sofia, Miranda Louise, and Olivia". Rosa said to them as she explains about it.
The girls looks at the woman named Nancy as she is around 26 years old as she has light brown skin tone with gray green eyes. "Don't you work at Royal Prep, I have seen you a few times in the last several school years"? Sofia asks Nancy as she is wondering about it.
Nancy looks at Sofia as she nods to her as the kids get to see a staff member. "Yes I am. I work in the filing office. I have been working there since I was 20 years old". Nancy said to them as she introduces herself to them.
Sofia is stunned by this as she is wondering about the friendship between Rosa and Nancy. "How did you and Auntie Rosa know each other though"? Sofia asks Nancy as she wants more answers about it.
Josephine looks at Sofia as she gives her a critical eye look. "That's enough questions for one day, Sofia", Josephine said to Sofia as she is not having it anymore.
Rosa looks at them as they need to see dresses for the wedding. "Now that is out the way, I want to see the seamstress about the dresses for wedding. Ladies and girls come with me", Rosa said to them as she wants them to come along. The women and girls went with Rosa to the seamstress room while the men and the guys are doing there own thing. They arrive at the seamstress as they see an array of light blue, red and yellow gold dresses hung up.
Rosa looks at the dresses that she asked Madam Collette while the adults were talking. Madeline is in awe as she is looking at the yellow dress. "Auntie Rosa, may I try on the yellow gold dress please and please have matching shoes? Madeline asks Rosa in a polite manner.
Rosa looks at Madeline as she already has a dress in mind for her as she grabs a light blue dress with red and yellow gold floral pattern for her to try on. Kimberly is watching the interaction between the two of them. She sees Rosa getting to Madeline's eye level with the dress in her hands. "Madeline, I want you to try on the light blue dress instead. It does have the yellow gold in the floral pattern. Plus, when you are the bride, you can make those decisions some day alright". Rosa said to Madeline as she smiles as she wants her to try on the dress that she picked.
Madeline looks at the dress as it is pretty. "Alright", Madeline said to Rosa as she takes the dress from her to try on. Rosa nods as the other light blue dresses to Miranda, Yvette, and Jennifer. Then Rosa grabs the red dresses as she hands them to Nancy, Chloe, Rebecca, and Sofia to try on Lastly, Rosa grab the yellow gold dresses as she hands them to Lucy, Amber, Olivia, and Miranda Louise are in the yellow dresses. The ladies and girls go into the dressing room while Rosa grabs a solid color shoe to go with each dress.
Rosa, Kimberly, Josephine, and Lady Agatha sit as they wait to for them to come out of the dressing room. It is not long that the girls and the women come out of the dressing room as they have on the shoes that Rosa picked for them. Rosa looks at the group as she notices that there is a problem with two of the girls as it does not quiet work for them. Plus Baileywick can also see it as well. "Amber and Jennifer, I want you two to switch dresses and shoes please". Rosa said to them as Baileywick agrees with her.
Amber and Jennifer look at them as they nod to her. "Sure", Amber said to Rosa as the two girls went back into the changing room to change dresses and shoes. As they come back out, the two girls look better and smiles as they love it on them. "I love this dress", Jennifer said to Rosa as she in the yellow dress while Amber is in the light blue dress.
Rosa nods as she looks at them as she is pleased about things and Miranda also agrees. Madeline is stunned by this as she will be in the light blue dress and not in the yellow dress. Madeline looks at them as she doesn't get it as she looks at the girls in the yellow dresses. "I don't understand. How come Jennifer is in the dress that I love". Madeline said to them as she is not getting her way.
Josephine looks at Madeline as she has an idea as Kimberly is also seeing that Madeline is disappointed about the dress. "Even though you do love the color yellow light blue will make the blue in your eyes pop. Also yellow will make your skin complexion too harsh, and it will look better on you if yellow is in small amount and in moderation like the yellow in the amulet and the yellow in the dress". Josephine said to Madeline as she grabs a yellow ribbon as she put it in her hair.
Madeline is stunned as she smiles as she has a ribbon in her hair now. "I love the ribbon, thank you Grandmother Josephine". Madeline said to Josephine as she smiles about it. said I love the ribbon
Josephine nods as she looks at Madeline as she gives her a light smile to her. "Good, plus you are looking towards a better you". Josephine said to Madeline as she gives her approval to her wedding look.
Madeline nods as she looks at her mom as she has been wanting to get something done. "Mom, what do you think? Plus when can I get a haircut please"? Madeline asks Miranda as she is hoping to get it done.
Miranda looks at Madeline as Sofia looks at Miranda as she shakes her head no as she does not want her to let Madeline to get a hair cut. "I do like the ribbon in your hair dear. However, I will need to think about it". Miranda said to Madeline as she is not sure about things.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she sighs as it usually means no. Rosa looks at them as it is all done. "Ok, those will be the dresses to wear on the day of the wedding". Rosa said to them as she gets them to change back into their normal clothes.
It is not long that they are back in normal clothes, Rosa hands the dresses and shoes to Baileywick and Violet to place them in the girls' rooms and in Miranda's room for packing up. As the ladies and girls leave the seamstress room, Josephine gives Sofia a harsh glare as she knows what she did.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she is glad that is out of the way. "Mom, may I go check on Mr. Cedric please"? Madeline asks Miranda as she is wondering if she can go.
Miranda looks at Madeline as there is one more thing that needs to be done. "Not just yet dear, we need to fully talk about what happened yesterday. Plus, you may get to sit between my mom and Grand mum for this. Also you will get to see a demonstration. You are not being heavily punished for this talk. However, this talk is out of love and awareness". Miranda said to Madeline as she fully explain about it.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she notices the two doctors as they are sitting down in the living room. "A demonstration and awareness, alright sure, I will go for that". Madeline said to Miranda as she sits next to Josephine and Kimberly, as Baileywick brings in a snack for Madeline.
Dr. Lucy nods as she gets started with the demonstration as Dr. Kim helps her out with it. "Madeline when you had the anaphylactic shock reaction, my mom was the one that jumped into action that administered the epi-potion medicine in you. This teddy bear is the patient, this medicine is the epi-potion that an adult injects into the patient's thigh. The epi-potion starts working to revere the effects of the anaphylactic shock". Dr. Lucy said to Madeline as she shows how the medicine gets injected into the patient's thigh.
Madeline looks at the teddy bear as it gets the medicine as she thinks about it. "Oh, no wonder I felt a pinch yesterday". Madeline said to them as she is starting to understand that.
Dr. Lucy looks at Madeline as it is exactly right about it. "Then it is the adult that gets other adults to get a doctor, a family member and the Constable to get to the location of the anaphylactic shock took place". Dr. Lucy said to Madeline as she explains it further as she hands the teddy bear to her to hold.
Madeline looks at them as she is holding the bear as she has a question. "I get why a doctor and a family member is needed but why would a constable be needed"? Madeline asks them as she does have one good question about things.
Yvette looks at Madeline as she has the answer for that. "My name is Yvette Wolfe. I am also Lady Agatha's daughter. I am actually a teacher. A constable will be called to determine whether the incident was a bad accident or intentional". Yvette said to Madeline as she explains the reason for a constable.
Madeline is stunned as it is starting to make sense about it. "That makes a lot of sense to me now. However, what if a person tells a lie to get away with it", Madeline asks them as she is wondering how that is possible.
Miranda nods as she agrees with Madeline as she is wondering about it. "Madeline does bring up an excellent point Yvette. I mean the only person that I trust with cooking is Iris. I never met Cindy before until yesterday". Miranda said to them as she is wondering about it.
Josephine looks at Miranda as she sighs to her. "It was a new hire in the last 10 years to help with the kids. She does some cooking from time to time". Josephine said to Miranda as she explains about Cindy's work history with them.
Miranda looks at Josephine as it does make sense on the time line. "That does make sense though". Miranda said to them as she is wondering how it is possible even further.
Dr. Lucy looks at them as she did help with the investigation into things. "Well, even after Cindy explained what happened, the cookie recipes are very close by to each other and che comes before cho. The constable said that it is circumstantial evidence and difficult to prove or disprove on whether it was an accident or not". Dr. Lucy said to them as it has some elements of circumstances in the incident.
Madeline looks at Dr. Lucy as she can understand about it. "That does make sense though". Madeline said to them as she is wondering about things.
Yvette nods as she looks at Madeline as there is a deeper thing than the incident that took place yesterday. It is possible that the person will try that again at a different time. You see there are some people that don't believe that someone does have a food allergy, they set out intentionally to prove that the person is faking it or trying to get out of eating something. You see when I was right around your age, I also had a bad anaphylactic shock reaction to peanuts that was in a batch of brownies that my so called grandmother made and my so called first father helped her with them. However, what they didn't anticipate that another boy saw the brownies. As we both ate the brownies, it turned out that they added peanuts and walnuts. The boy was allergic to walnuts as well. It was my mom that administer the epi-potion medicine to save me and the boy. When my mom realized who made the brownies, she confronted them and the constable was right there as well. My first father and grandmother admitted that they did it. They wanted to show my mom that I didn't have that allergy and wanted to get rid of me because I was not a normal child like other kids were. However they made a huge mistake because the boy's parents turned out to be the king and queen of Dominica and the boy is actually a Prince. Meanless to say, my first father and grandmother got convicted of their crimes. The king and queen of Dominica was so grateful to my mom that they granted the much needed divorce between mom and first dad, removed his parental rights to me, Lucy, Levi, and Tristan, and added laws that requires to ingredients into foods, drinks, and sweets in various shops and vendors. It has visual pictures like this item contains nuts or this product has this item in a place where another item is used in a different product. Plus at Halloween, my mom always places a special pumpkin that says this house gives out nut free candies". Yvette said to Madeline as she explains about what happened a long time ago.
Madeline looks at Yvette as she is stunned as she didn't know that one. "Really, I had no idea that you are allergic to peanuts. Yet, I don't really care for nut they are hard to swallow anyway.
Dr. Lucy and Dr. Kim. looks at Madeline as there is a much deeper detail about it. "The truth is nut allergies are actually one of the most common food allergies next to flour, soy, dairy, and eggs. Also food allergy can't go away forever. With your allergy to cherries, it is not one of the common food allergy like Yvette's allergy to peanuts Our point is that any kind of food can be a food allergy. The more you know about your allergy it the less scary it is. Plus with Yvette going to be at Royal Prep for her first year of teaching there, she will be there as well. Plus if that happens again or an attempt on you for an anaphylactic shock, she will be on a war path. Not only that, she is also trained to use an epi-potion as well", Dr. Lucy said to Madeline as she explains to her that Yvette also knows how to use it.
Madeline looks at them as she is getting the feeling that this will be something much more deeper. "Oh, I didn't realize that nut allergies are the common thing though". Madeline said to them as she is being informative about it.
Yvette looks at Madeline as she grabs a bracelet as she shows it to her. "Madeline, you were really lucky that my mom was at the house when you had the anaphylactic shock. This is my medical bracelet that I wear daily. It helps doctors to know what to do to help me in that kind of situation". Yvette said to Madeline
Josephine looks at Madeline as she also shows her medical bracelet. "It was through the strong advice highly recommended from a doctor to have patients young and old to wear one". Josephine said to Madeline as she reveals her medical bracelet. It has the letters DNR on it.
Lady Agatha nods as she also shows her medical bracelet but it is much different from Josephine's. " I also wear one as well, but it is for a magical medical condition". Lady Agatha said to Madeline as there is a much different reason.
Madeline looks at them as she is starting to get it from an adult's perspective. "No offense to you, Yvette, and Grandmother Josephine, but those medical bracelets will take away me away from having fun. However, I do have one question. Who created the epi-potions anyways"? Madeline asks them as she is wanting to know that.
Lady Agatha looks at Madeline as she smiles to her as she is looking at her. "You are looking at her, Madeline. My name is Lady Agatha Wolfe the Nightingale Sorceress. I am actually originally from Wimonia". Lady Agatha said to Madeline as she reveals that she was the one that invented them.
Madeline is stunned as she does not realize that one. "Wow, I had no idea then that must mean you saved a royal life years ago. However, why are you called the Nightingale Sorceress"? Madeline asks Lady Agatha as she is very intrigued by her sorceress title.
Lady Agatha looks at Madeline as she is happy to explain it. "You see Madeline one of my specialties is healing spells. So in a sense, I am a nurse. On the other hand, one of my other specialties is in magical martial arts and magical defenses. In my life, so have faced mountain sized adversities and it wasn't fun and carefree. It was because of those adversities that shaped me into the person that I am today and taught my kids especially my daughters to be strong and independent women". Lady Agatha said to Madeline as she further explains it.
Madeline looks at Lady Agatha as she is stunned and amazed by her. "Really, I had no idea. Am I done with the adult talk"? Madeline asks them as she wants to leave the room.
Miranda nods as she looks at Madeline as it is done. "
Yes Madeline, you may go". Miranda said to Madeline as she lets her go.
Madeline thanks Miranda as she went upstairs to do other things.
...
It is not long that Roland returns as some of the adults are leaving as they have things to do to get ready. "So I take it that the talk with Madeline went well". Roland said to Miranda as he is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at Roland as she nod in agreement as it is just a talk with Miranda's grown siblings and her parents. "It went good, but Madeline does not want to wear a medical bracelet even after how the adults do wear one for various reasons". Miranda said to Roland as they have a stubborn girl about this issue.
Roland nods as he looks at Miranda as he expected it as much. "I figured as much". Roland said to Miranda as they get started with the talk.
Enrique looks at them as there are things to be discussed about things. "After the wedding, there will be some changes about things. Since Renee will be out of the family soon with the upcoming and pending divorce, it a long time coming that we will be living in separate houses". Enrique said to them as he announces things.
Miranda nods as she looks at them as it will be a good thing for them. "That's good, but where will you move to dad"? Miranda asks Enrique as she is wondering about it.
Enrique looks at Miranda as he will explain things first. "I will be moving to Lady Agatha's house in Enchancia, it will be big enough for the kids to come visit or over night visits not to live in at full time". Enrique said to them as he has things arranged.
Josephine nods as she looks at Miranda as she has further to explain about things. "Miranda, Roland, my health has been on a decline in the last few years. I need to be at a place where I can get to the doctor quickly. Plus, I need to start spending more time with family especially you". Josephine said to Miranda as she explains about things. "Plus, this medical bracelet is for do not use any kind of CPR if my heart stops or stopped breathing". Josephine said to them as she reveals the true meaning of her medical bracelet.
Roland looks at Josephine as he nods as he understands and get it. "I am glad that you told me, and we do have a grandparents wing here at the castle that will be ready soon". Roland said to Josephine as he will have her move in the castle. Josephine thanks Roland about it.
Miranda nods as she looks at her siblings as she is wondering about their plans. "What about you guys", Miranda asks them as she is wondering about it.
Ernesto looks at Miranda as he nods as this move will need to be discussed with the kids. "Well, Olivia and I will move into a Renee free house here in Enchancia. Olivia has told me that she wants to be close by to Josephine so she can visit with her daily.
Rosa nods as she looks at them as she and Lorenzo have a place. "Alex and I will be moving to the kingdom of Novanima at Lorenzo's house". Rosa said to Miranda as she will start her married life in a different kingdom.
Rodrigo and Rebecca looks at them as they have something to tell them. "Rebecca and I will also be moving here to Enchancia at a ranch where Rebecca actually grew up. Dad, will you get out the family tree scroll please. Roland and Miranda will need to be filled in about something important". Rodrigo said to Enrique as it is time to let them in a huge secret.
Enrique nods as he grabs the family tree scroll out as well as his wand. He taps on the section on Rodrigo and Rebecca's family as it shows Rebecca's side of the family. Rebecca looks at them as she needs to tell them. "Miranda, Roland, my mother was actually a royal born originally from the kingdom of Wimonia. When she was 14 years old, she fled the kingdom for safety and protection because her older sister took over the kingdom. The royal sorcerer at that time placed an anemias spell on my mother to protect her true identity and memories of her royal life to keep her evil sister from finding her. Plus the spell won't wore off until her older sister passed away. She got to Enchancia where her new family found her and took her in. They were the ones who are royal flying horse breeders and named her Louise. Anyways, many years later, my mother remembered who she was and learned that her older sister passed away due to the tyranny reign and other crimes that she committed while as queen. My mother told me that part of the truth when she was on her death bed. She also told me not to tell Miranda Louise about her royal heritage until she was old enough to understand or in the event that something happens to me or Rodrigo. With that being said, if something does happen to us, will you two take in Miranda Louise for the school year? It will give either Rodrigo or me the proper amount of grief counseling and work". Rebecca said to them as she explains about things.
Miranda nods as she looks at Rebecca as Roland is equally surprised to see things on the family tree scroll as proof of it. "Of course, I just need Miranda Louise's school transcripts. Plus, I completely understand what it is like to keep something from your kids. Plus, there is something that Madeline does not know either". Miranda said to Rebecca as she hands them over to her.
Ernesto nods as he looks at them as he also has Olivia's school transcripts with him. "Olivia has deeply expressed to me that she does not want to go back to the Magma Institute in the fall. Plus, I have come to find out that Renee even got Olivia out of things that she was not aware of at all from Headmaster Donald himself". Ernesto said to Miranda and Roland as he hands the papers to her.
Roland nods as he looks at Ernesto as Miranda sees that his niece does get decent grades. "Well, there is always Royal Prep. There is nothing wrong with gaining more princes and princesses especially over the summer". Roland said to Ernesto as he explains about it. Ernesto nods as he will keep that in mind.
Miranda nods as she looks at them as Madeline comes to them crying as Sofia is behind her holding the ribbon in her hands. "Madeline, what is the matter"? Miranda asks Madeline as she is getting the feeling that Sofia did it.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she tells them what happened. "Mom, Sofia took my ribbon that was on my bedside table". Madeline said to Miranda as she tells her about it.
Miranda looks at Sofia as she sighs as this needs to be dealt with. "Sofia, hand me the ribbon and go to your room. I will talk to you in a little bit". Miranda said to Sofia as she will deal her later. She looks at Madeline as she hands the ribbon back to her. "Why don't you talk to Cedric while I go talk to Sofia alright"? Miranda asks Madeline as she wants her to do something that she won't hear thing between her and Sofia. Madeline nods as she went upstairs to Cedric's workshop while Sofia went to her room while the rest of the adults talk.
In Sofia's room, Sofia frowns as she is getting her trunk ready for the trip to Avalor. Miranda walks in the room as she sighs to her. "Sofia, why did you take the yellow ribbon away from Madeline for"? Miranda asks Sofia as she is wondering about things.
Sofia looks at Miranda as she needed to do it. "But mom, that yellow ribbon was too thin for Madeline's long hair. Plus, if you let her get her hair cut short, she will look like a boy. Also I was trying to convince her to get a thicker ribbon and not a thin one. I was doing her a favor by taking it away and doing what was best for her". Sofia said to Miranda as she explains to her that she was doing her a favor.
Miranda looks at Sofia as she is on the fence about it. "Even so, Josephine saw the problem and fixed it. Plus she saw the smile on Madeline's face when it was on her head". Miranda said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia looks at Miranda as she shrugs to her as she is still mad about something else. "Even if that is true, I can not believe that Madeline and James went on an adventure without me. It is always me and Madeline that goes on the adventures together. Plus, I was not even there when Madeline had the emergency". Sofia said to Miranda as she is mad about it.
Miranda looks at Sofia as she sighs as this might be time to talk to Roland about something for Madeline. "Well, James did help Lady Agatha when the emergency came. Even though that was really scary, she woke up at 6 am this morning". Miranda said to Sofia as she is wondering about it.
Sofia frowns as she will give James that one. "Even so, I am the one that supposed to guide her things. Plus, we stick together and look very similar and that means no haircuts for Madeline. Also when are you going to have Madeline learning to ask the tough questions like me as well". Sofia said to Miranda as she does not want Madeline to look different.
Miranda looks at Sofia as she shakes her head no to her. "I am not going to teach Madeline to do that Sofia. Plus, you have been asking too many of them in the last two days. I did not realize that I have repeated a cycle that I learned from your grandmother Josephine who learned it from her parents". Miranda said to Sofia as she is going to put a stop to it.
Sofia looks at Miranda as she learns the extend of the tough questions. "Oh, so that is where it came from then". Sofia said to Miranda as she is starting to understand about it. "But mom, what is adoption exactly? Plus Chloe even told us about how she was adopted and she was so thankful for it though. Although I don't think Madeline fully listened to it". Sofia said to Miranda as she is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at Sofia as it is a topic that has not been introduced to them before until now. "Well, adoption is when a grown up who has no blood relation takes on a child to raise and care for them. The child becomes a part of their family and they are just as real as a child with parents who are blood related to them. Most adoptions happen when the child is really young like when they are babies or even toddlers. However, in other cases like Chloe, she needed to be saved from her own biological parents because of their crimes. Even though she is with relatives who are in blood relation to her parents, they are really good people who truly love and care about her". Miranda said to Sofia as she explains that to her.
Sofia looks at Miranda as she is starting to understand about it. "I understand now. But what about the tough questions to new people. You may never know if it was used in a tough or dire situations". Sofia said to Miranda as she tries to make a plea about the rule staying in place.
Miranda looks at Sofia as she shakes her head as she is putting a stop to it. "Sofia, if you and Madeline did learn that, you two would become two constables in the making interrogating new people into the point that they will get very uncomfortable with the line of questioning and borderline harassing a person. My point is that you can't pry into the personal life and boundaries of a person that you and Madeline may come across. Yes you got curious about new things that you haven't heard of before, but it was not the right time to ask much further about it until an adult ask about it". Miranda said to Sofia as she explains it much further.
Sofia frowns as she is hearing this as this she is not happy about it. "Oh alright". Sofia said to Miranda as she backs down from it for now.
Miranda looks at Sofia as this is going to be a process with her. "Good, you should apologize to Madeline about taking her hair ribbon and go pack for Avalor". Miranda said to Sofia as she got through to her on that front. Sofia nods as Miranda leaves her room.
Miranda sighs as she went to Madeline's room as she see that she is feeling better. "Mom, guess what Mr. Cedric and Baileywick are coming on the trip with us. Plus I even sent Elena a letter to let her know about it as well". Madeline said to Miranda as she is putting her light blue dress for the wedding in her trunk.
Miranda nods as she looks at Madeline as she is curious about Cedric coming along. "I see and it is a good thing that you did Madeline. Why didn't you listen to Chloe about being adopted"? Miranda asks Madeline as she is wondering about it.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she sighs as she is getting the feeling that Sofia said something to her about it. "Well, it is teenager things that kids shouldn't be talked about. Plus, it really took the fun away from things earlier. I mean Sofia was the one that asked Chloe about how she knows Jennifer". Madeline said to Miranda as she thinks that anything adult conversation takes the fun away.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she sighs as this will be different to explain about it. "Well, adoption is a difficult subject to discuss with a child and a difficult thing process about. Plus, there are different ways that a kid can be adopted from. Also, there are the circumstances of the birth mother or the birth parents as well. In Chloe's case, her birth parents committed crimes while Chloe was still living with them. Her birth parents lost all parental rights to her and Chloe ended up with relatives of her birth parents. Even though Chloe was 11 years old at the time of the adoption away from her birth parents, she remembers her birth parents. Her knowledge of them will be with her for the rest of her life". Miranda said to Madeline as she explains things to her.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she shrugs to her as it does not really apply to her. "I see but it does not really apply to me in the slightest though". Madeline said to Miranda as she does not realize that there are other ways that a child can be adopted.
Miranda looks at Madeline as it is true that it does not apply to her life. "Even so, adoption can happen when a child is a baby or even a young toddler. In those cases, the child does not remember and know about their birth parents. Yet those children do end up with the families that adopted them out of love. Birth parents and adoptive parents are just as real like step parents as well". Miranda said to Madeline as she explains that even deeper to her.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she is starting to understand about it. "Oh, that would make sense because you and dad are the only parents that I have ever known". Madeline said to Miranda as there is a point that does make sense.
Miranda nods as she gets to the other topic that she wants to talk about with her. "Madeline, I know that you want to get your haircut". Miranda said to Madeline as she does want to talk about it.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she is getting the feeling that a certain word is going to be the answer. "But you are not going to let me get one are you". Madeline said to Miranda as she knows what it is.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she sighs as this is not going to end well. "Not right now honey". Miranda said to Madeline as she is not going to let her to get one.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she frowns as she suspects something. "But why not, I was not even rude towards Grandmother Josephine when I met her for the first time yesterday. Plus she is scary I can see where you get scary face from when you get mad". Madeline said to Miranda as she makes her case about it.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she sighs she knows how intimidating Josephine is. "Even though my mother has gotten on in years, she always have that critical eye to everyone. She went toe to toe with Roland the First earlier. I am glad that you were not rude towards her. Grace is out this week for vacation". Miranda said to Madeline as she explains to her that the hairdresser is out from the castle this week.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she does believe her as she sighs to her. "Alright, so after Grace gets back I can get my hair cut". Madeline said to Miranda as she thinks she will get it as soon as Grace gets back.
Miranda looks at Madeline as it is something to consider. "I will take it into consideration Madeline. You got to trust me on this". Miranda said to Madeline as she will deeply consider things.
Madeline sighs as she looks at Miranda as she does not like that. "Mom, when you say that, Sofia always put her opinion to you and then you tell me no later on, and that hurts my feelings. It is those opinions and feelings that always got to you than my desire. I do not want to become a red headed version of Sofia. I mean earlier in the playroom, James confused me and Sofia for Jennifer a couple of times. I mean we do kind of look alike even though we just met". Madeline said to Miranda as she makes her case about it.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she realizes about things as she is starting to see that she is starting to grow up. "You maybe almost 11years old Madeline, but I can see that you are growing up. It might be time to start separating you from Sofia. Plus that is something I will need to talk to Roland about". Miranda said to Madeline as she needs to talk to Roland.
Madeline looks at Miranda as she is stunned to learn about it. "Really, you will talk to dad about it. May I get my own room and flying horse please"? Madeline asks Miranda as she is jumping the wand about it.
Miranda looks at Madeline as she does need to talk to Roland about it. "I will talk to Roland about it honey. Plus, it will need to be deeply talked about as well. Buttercup promise", Miranda said to Madeline as she will give her word on it. Madeline nods as she thanks Miranda as she feels better about it as she continues to pack.
Miranda leaves the room as she went back down stairs. She says goodbye to her parents and siblings as they will meet up in Neuva Vista, Avalor. That night, as Roland and Miranda are getting ready for bed for the night. Miranda looks at Roland as she had the conversations with Sofia and Madeline. "Roland, did you take a good look at Jennifer today"? Miranda asks Roland as she starts the conversation about Lorenzo's daughter.
Roland looks at Miranda as he nods to her as he did see her. "Yes, Jennifer does look a lot like both Sofia and Madeline. I didn't ask Lorenzo about Jennifer's birthmother yet. Although James did get the girls mixed up, what is this about Madeline"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering what this is about.
Miranda sighs as she looks at Roland as she is wondering about things. "Yes well, earlier, Madeline told me that she does not want to be the redhead version of Sofia. Plus when you look at the three girls together, you can get them confused for one of them. Plus, I think it might be time to separate the two girls. When Madeline was expressing that to me, I am starting to see that Madeline is growing up". Miranda said to Roland as she tells him about it.
Roland looks at Miranda as he nods in agreement about things. "You know I do believe that you are right Miranda. Plus, what did you say to Madeline about her hair cut"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.
Miranda looks at Roland as she sighs to him as she is running into a problem with Sofia. "Well, I told Madeline that Grace is on vacation this week. However, Madeline told me that I always take Sofia's opinion and feelings over her own desires no matter how good she was. Plus, I was surprised that she was not rude or mean towards Josephine even with the temper that Madeline has. She even made that point when she made her case about the issue. She even asked if she can have her own room and flying horse". Miranda said to Roland as she explains about it.
Roland nods as he looks at Miranda as he thinks about it. "It is possible that Sofia has manipulated you into doing things that she wanted to keep Madeline to look just like her. Perhaps before school gets started, we can talk to the fairies to put Madeline in a different class away from Sofia". Roland said to Miranda as he makes an idea for the fairies.
Miranda looks at Roland as she sighs as she knows the manipulation that she has seen. "Even though I have not seen my mom in years until yesterday, I have forgotten how she can manipulate people. Sofia does remind me of my mom with the manipulation". Miranda said to Roland as she does need to do something about it.
Roland nods as he looks at Miranda as they do need to tell the kids about Josephine moving into the castle. "Yes well, Baileywick will have his work cut out for him when it comes to finding the right steward for Josephine in the Grandparents wing. Miranda agrees as the two went to for the night as they are heading out to Avalor the next day.
Next morning, the royal family is awake as they are getting going for the kingdom of Avalor. As the cloud coaster is getting loaded up with trunks, the kids are getting in the cloud coaster as well as they have a lot of excitement to be heading back to Avalor on better pretenses. Cedric is solemnly quiet as he got into the cloud coaster as he takes his seat. The kids look at each other as they are a bit confused as he looked like he is not as excited about it, but he is not expressing his dislike for going on the trip.
Meanwhile As the cloud coaster takes off, The royal family including Baikeywick and Cedric are heading towards Avalor. Back at the castle, Wormwood has a smirk on his face as he uses a spell to contact someone. "Mistress Renee, the seed is within Cedric. However, he is heading towards the kingdom of Avalor with the royal family. What should we do in the meantime"? Wormwood said to Renee as he is wondering about things.
Renee nods as she looks at Wormwood as she is pleased and learns about the little development "Well, we will work out the finer details with Grimtrix and making sure that our plot does not get uncovered sooner than planned. Excellent, now we wait for the conference". Renee said to Wormwood as the magic call ends. However, what they do not know is that the entire conversation got magically recorded by an undercover maid who happens to be a princess from the Kingdom of Amora.
The undercover maid frowns as this is bad as she went to a private area as she makes a call to Atticus. "Atticus, Cedric is with the family and heading to Avalor for the wedding. Apparently, Grimtrix is not working alone on the plot. Not only that the black raven has planted some sort of seed into Cedric. They are waiting to strike at the conference". The undercover maid said to Atticus as this could become bad.
Atticus frowns as this is not good as there will be a lot of people at the wedding. "There will be a lot of Grand Magical Council members at the wedding that will keep an eye on Cedric. However, I want you to continue to investigate things at the castle. The more information that they spill about the more guilty that they are". Atticus said to the undercover maid as they need to get more evidence.
The undercover maid nods as she understands about it. "Understood", the undercover maid said to Atticus as the call ends. She leaves the private room as she continues to work.
