End of Flashback.
Roland the first is lost in thought as he has visited with Miranda Louise in the Hospital in the last several week, 'I always thought it was a coincidence that Miranda Louise shares the same first name as my son's wife. Plus Miranda Louise did say that it is named after dad's sister who passed away before she was born and wanted to honor her. However, I know now that Renee lied to her own in-laws about Miranda passing away and to me about what kind of person Miranda truly is'. Roland the first thought to himself. 'Then again, everyone that I know and love thinks that I am favoring Miranda Louise over the two granddaughters that I have not even met before. Plus, there is that grandson that I have not met before either because of King Samuel's selfishness. Yet, it is them that does not understand about a feud between two magical families, how Miranda Louise and I first met, and things that I need to make things right'. Roland the first thought to himself as he leaves his chair as he went to his study.
William walk in the study to check on Roland the first as he notice that the grand king of Enchancia is pulling out a huge box of note and evidence that was brought to him for safe keeping. "Roland the first, what are you doing"? William asks Roland the first as he is wondering about things.
Roland the first look at William as he sigh as he knows that the truth need to come out. "William, I need to prepare myself for the day that Roland and Miranda will inherit my mistakes and the things that I could not resolve while I was the king of Enchancia". Roland the first said to William as he reveals to him about it.
William look at Roland the first as he nods as there is a couple of boxes filled with well preserved evidence and notes about the cases. "Ok, but you need to address the fact that there is two new granddaughters that you have been ignoring over in favoring Miranda Louise. Also, when I heard about what happened to your youngest granddaughter about her cherry allergy from Kimberly, I was shocked so no cherries while she is around you. Plus she is also into music, so I would give her a chance. She just might surprise you. Plus, you will show her the music library. ". William said to Roland the first as he wants to address it.
Roland the first look at William as he sight as he is not sure about things. "Alright fine", Roland the first said to William as he has some nervousness about being near Madeline for unknown reason to everyone else. William nods as he seems satisfied about it as he leaves the room. Roland the first sighs as he pulls up an old restraining orders that he put into place to keep his royal sorcerer at one time away from a different magical family because of harassment. "If only Roland and Miranda knew". Roland the first said to himself about things as he knows that things will get very interesting very soon.
It has been a several weeks. since the rescue of Miranda Louise and the flying horse. Today is the day before the wedding anniversary ball as there is a lot going on. Madeline is in her room as she notices her special books is glowing again as it has something new to show her. she went to grab it along with the working journal as she went to the closet to write things down.. "I wonder what could it be about this time". Madeline said to herself as she reads the prophecy.
As the past is not what it seems to be with a grand royal and two magical familes.
A feud between two magical familes has been going on while the grand royal was King
While the guilt and responsibility has been on the grand king
Thus the wrongs from the past need to be corrected
As a prodigal son returns to Enhanced Kingdom
An evil warlock that targeted the prodigal son in the past will also return
As the warlocked taken the wrong person from the Enchanted Kingdom
A great battle will take place as a sacrifice will be made thus activating the Bond of the sorcerer
As the wrong person and the patriarch is released from being hold captive.
The feud between the two magical familes will star to resolve themselves.
Madeline is stunned as she learns what the Prophecy is about. "A feud, this is very interesting. Plus it does mention a grand royal. Could this be about Grandfather the First"? Madeline asks herself as she is wondering about it. As she places the working journal and special book back, she is curious who are the feuding families are. She leaves the room as she catches up with her siblings as they went down stairs.
Downstairs, Miranda is in her office as she is reading more into the journals as she discovers a huge legal document. she is deeply surprised that is Gabriella's living will as there are things in it that will have a huge conflicted matter that need to be resolved about it. she get Alice to bring Roland to her office, it is not long that Roland arrives that he see that Miranda is holding the document in her hands. As Alice goes' to another room. "Miranda, what's wrong"? Roland asks Miranda as he is wondering about it.
Miranda look at Roland is deeply conflicted about it. "I found Gabriella's living will among this journal. It states various truths about the events from the past. It even has very choice words about certain individual and a huge revelation. In one of the sections it states about an attending a naming ceremony in Montreala in case that her eldest daughter is named Madeline and not the backup name that I selected Maylene Gabriella to fully protect my eldest daughter's original birth name. Another section that states if there are any arranged marriages between my eldest daughter and Prince George of Dominica, it will be automatically to be voided. Lastly, it also states that if my youngest daughter is still alive that the adoptive parents of my eldest daughter are the legal guardians of them". Miranda said to Roland as she is deeply confused about things.
Roland is stunned as he is a bite confused about things as there is one thing that he was not aware about. "We are the adopted parents. However, we are not aware about a younger twin". Roland said to Miranda as he is wondering about it as this is the first to hear about it. we are the adopted parents but what Younger Twin?
Miranda look at Roland as she is not sure about it. "I don't know Roland". Miranda said to Roland as she is looking through the journal to find anything else. As she discovers that there is a hidden pages, there is a journal entry talking about it along with birth certificates and a torn birth certificate.
Miranda is stunned to find the birth certificates as this is getting more mysterious about things. Roland look at the birth certificates as he frowns as one of them is deeply torn as it is a note on it. . "Umm Miranda, this one does have the name Madeline on it but it has a note on it that states, this is not the real birth certificate as Gabriella's signature is forged on it". Roland said to Miranda as he shows her the proof.
Miranda look at the torn birth certificate as she is deeply puzzled about it. "People really wanted Gabriella to name her child Madeline no matter what they did". Miranda said to Roland as she is starting to see that there is more to things that meets the eye. She sees a small sack with a key in it. She gasps by the entry, she is shocked by it. "It says, Dear Miranda, if that you found my living will, you need to fully understand what the living will is about. Prior to my pregnancy, I was living in Enchancia for my work and investigations. One of my major investigations is into a family in Enchancia that has a lot of conspiracy against an innocent child. In my investigation, the husband is innocent who had no knowledge about his wife and her family's nefarious and illegal activities going back decades and more shady dealings going on behind closed doors. He has a loving heart, truly honorable individual, and more important a true family man and not an arrogant idiot. Unfortunately, his efforts to get the innocent child out of that home is in vain because of his untimely passing that I am deeply positive that the wife had a lot to do with. As I was getting closer to solving the case and bringing the wife and her parents to justice, I get attacked in my own home twice by bad husband of yours, and a servant from the Enchancia castle watched it happening. As a result of that, I ended up pregnant with my child. It wasn't until the day that I didn't realize that I ended up having twins. Once again, the nefarious actions from others end up following me. As efforts to revive my youngest daughter were in vain, that doctor who had no business to show up and took my youngest daughter to fully bury her. I hold my eldest daughter and named her the name worthy of naming her. She will understand some day that her name will be powerful enough to save the Ever Realm and the Mystic Isles, and it has names after truly honorable people and family members and NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE IT AWAY FROM HER, ME, AND MY FAMILY BY ANY MEANS. However two months later that bad husband returns with that fake birth certificate with the name that I will never pick. I told him that even if it is named after his mother who is innocent, I will never consider it because it came from his dishonorable mouth. I kicked his rear end and made him leave for good. PS: That key goes to my former cottage who has a new owner, and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES THE LOCATION OF THE COTTAGE TO BE TOLD TO ANYONE, AND THE ADDRESS IS NOT IN THE JOURNALS". Miranda said to Roland as she reads the journal entry.
Roland is stunned and completely shocked what the journal entry said about it. "Wow, just wow, I do not know how Madeline will feel about the name even if it was written out specifically in a person's living will. I mean the name Madeline is what everyone knows her by". Roland said to Miranda as he is wondering about it.
Miranda look at Roland as she is rather mystified about it as she also has some reservations about it. "I honestly don't know. To tell you the truth, I can relate and understand where Gabriella is coming from. Plus Gabriella's reasons for not naming her child Madeline is valid, reasonable, and legitimate. From the journal entry about it and other that has the name Madeline that I have read so far, there were other people besides my first husband who demanded her to change it to Madeline and had to fight them tooth and nail and the law to win to keep the original name. The original name is unique and one of a kind and has a unique backstory to it. It may not be my favorite but the thoughtfulness and creativity behind it is admirable. I mean Gabriella's middle name is Michael which is a male name, but if there was a special reason why that particular name was chosen, we should hear the family out why that particular name was selected over a more feminine name. We should hear them out on it not fully judge them on it. Madeline's original name does have that that modern style and feel to it". Miranda said to Roland as she explains about it.
Roland nod in agreement as they hear the trumpets are playing as it gets their attention. "I agree, and plus it sounds like someone is here". Roland said to Miranda as they leave the room.
As the kids, Baileywick, and Alice went outside to see who it is. Roland the first arrives as William is with him as the kids are stunned and pleased to see him." hello Roland Miranda, children", Roland the first said to them as Amber and James are thrilled through the roof.
Roland look at his dad as he is very confused about things. "Dad, what bring you by on this fine day"? Roland asks Roland the first as the kids are hoping that his visit will be a long one.
Roland the first look at the familey as there are things that need to be talked about. "Roland, we need to talk. May we discuss the matter inside"? Roland the first asks Roland as there are things that needs to be discussed inside.
Roland the second look at his dad as he agrees about it. "Sure dad come inside", Roland the second said to Roland the first as they went inside as he is carrying the two boxes of things. Miranda is wondering what Roland the first has in the two boxes as they make their way to the living room.
Roland the first look at them as he greets the kids as he is getting kind of nervous and a bit uneasy as he look at Madeline as he also greet her in a civil matter as Alice and Baileywick brings everyone tea, the Kids are very intrigued about the box filled with things. "Grandfather the first, what is in the boxes? Are they toys for us"? Madeline asks Roland the first as she picks something out from the box.
Roland the first Look at Madeline as he give her a look. "No, it is not toys for you and the other kids and please put it back Madeline". Roland the first said to Madeline as he tells her that it is not toys as he is civil towards her.
Miranda look at them as she is curious about things as Madeline put it back as she give him a look. "So how come you favor Miranda Louise more than me and Madeline even though we are your granddaughters and she is not". Sofia asks Roland the first as Amber and James are wondering about it.
Roland the first frown by the question as he dose not view it was as favoring Miranda Louise over the two new granddaughter that he has not met. "How I meet Miranda Louise and gotten to know her was very innocent, Sofia. Yes, there were some coincidental things, but the both of us were not aware about the familial connection with your parents until fairly recently. That is something that you shouldn't blame on me nor Miranda Louise". Roland the first said to them as he explains about it.
The Kids, Miranda and Roland are stunned and kind of confused about it. "What do you mean Roland the first"? Miranda asks Roland the first as she is wondering about it as she will be open minded about it.
Roland the first look at them as he need to explain about how he first Met Miranda Louise. "It all started when I was visiting the Magma Institute school in the kingdom of Dominica about nine years ago. I saw that they needed seniors to be matched up with students for their seniors week. It is a school sponsored event where their students spend time with senior citizens. I thought it was a great opportunity for young students to learn something new from old timers like me. I filled out a form. I waited to be matched and got to meet the students that came my way. I did this for a few years and then I met Miranda Louise about five years ago. She stood out from the others that came my way. I respect and admired her patience she was with me. Plus I was amazed by her knowledge of music. The long operas and symphonies didn't bore her or put her to sleep. Plus, she had a refined palate on food and her favorite cake is a Black Forest Cherry Cake. After that seniors week, we saw each other more regularly. The only time I asked her about her first name, all she told me that she was named after her dad's sister who passed away before she was born. I didn't push on the matter. I didn't realize or know at the time that her dad's sister is actually your mom. However one of the bigger discovery that I saw in the family tree scroll that Rebecca and Miranda Louise is that they are my second cousin in laws by marriage when my uncle Leondias married that awful Queen Trinity to be his wife. It turns out that her younger sister is Rebecca's mother. This was before I found out that there was deception from a certain person that shall not be named". Roland the first said to them as he explains everything about it.
The family is stunned as they learn the back story about how Roland the first got to know Know Miranda Louise. "So you got to know Miranda Louise sooner than us based on different set of circumstances. Plus, it was only a matter of time when the familial connections that was revealed to the rest of us". Sofia said to Roland the first as she is wondering about it.
Roland the first nod as he look at Sofia as it is what happend. "Yes, it was Sofia. There was not any favoritism of the sort. Plus, just because a person have known someone in our family sooner than you, it does not mean that there is favoritism. It means that the timing and circumstances of the friendship was built prior to you meeting a member in the family. Plus the circumstances can come from all sorts of things. Coincidence can happen, but it is not a reason to punish someone over it". Roland the first said to the kids as he explains about it.
Miranda look at Roland the first as she realizes that the bound that her farther in law and her niece has is innocent.. "I am starting to understand that now Roland the First". Miranda said to Roland the first as she is curious about things.
Roland the first nod as the kids finish their tea as it is time to get into the adult conversation. "Yes, kids will you give me and your parents some time to talk". Roland the first said to the kids as it is time to go into the adult talk of the visit.
The kids look at Roland the first as things will get into the adult talk of things. "Thanks and bye", Madeline said to Roland the first as she leaves the room first as the other siblings follow her out of the room as they went outside to play.
Roland the first look at them as he not a very active man as he turns to face the parents. "Madeline is a very active child". Roland the first said to them as he knows that he can't keep up with her.
Miranda nod as she agrees about that fact as she look at Roland the first. "Yes she is an active child, Roland the first". Miranda said to him as she is curious about thing especially in the box.
Roland the first look at them as he need to show them the things in the box. "Roland, in this box, there are things that I couldn't get resolved while I was the king of Enchancia. Sooner or later, you will inherit these things and need to get resolved". Roland the first said to them as he explains about it.
Roland the second look at Roland the first as he is a bit confused about these things. "What kind of things that you couldn't get resolved dad. Plus how come they were not resolved like it should"? Roland the second ask Roland the first as he is wondering about it.
Roland the first look at them as he sigh as he need to explain about it. "Well, one of them was a cold case of a passing of a queen from the kingdom of Australiza. This happened when you and Tilly were very young. At the time, there was a law that regarded to witches that gotten changed after the events that took place". Roland the first said to Roland and Miranda as he explains about it.
Roland the second look at Roland the first as he realizes what he was talking about. "You mean the conflict about witches and the other citizens in the king was about the passing of Australian queen. Plus, what do you mean by after the events that took place". Roland the second said to Roland the first as he does not realize or know what the conflict was about.
Roland the first nod as he look at the two royal parents as he need to explain about it. "Well, before in the kingdom of Enchancia, if a witch was discovered in the kingdom of Enchancia, she is captured and deported to Soledad Island and never to be heard from again. However, Queen Adaliya is a witch but she was a married to the king of Australiza making her the first witch to become queen of a kingdom in the entire Ever Realm. Queen Adaliya's first move was to bring her family to her new kingdom, and the new kingdom that she called home is a safe haven for witches. However, as Queen Adaliya's family made it to a boat that will take her family to Australiza, Queen Adaliya was arrest for being a witch and sent to the castle dungeon. However, as she makes her case of her being the queen of Australiza, a guard named Jonah was the only one that believed her and brought it to my and your mother's attention. As everything got cleared up that Adaliya is proven who she said that she is, I arranged for her to be sent back to Australiza and have Jonah go with her. However, just as the traveling was going to take place, Adaliya and Jonah were found dead. It was then I realized that witches are people just trying to live in the world and didn't deserved to be deported away like some second class citizen. I changed the law that witches don't have to be sent away. However, to this day, the kingdom of Australiza are furious with Enchancia for taking away their queen as she is also a mother and she was actually pregnant with her second child and passed away with the mother as well". Roland the first said to Roland the second as he explains about it.
Roland the second is stunned as he is a bit confused about things as he realizes that there is more to the story. "You mean you didn't know who took Queen Adaliya and Jonah's lives back then"? Roland the second asks his father as he is wondering about it.
Roland the first nod as he look at his son as he is deeply confused and stumped for a very long time. "Yes, I was stumped, the Constable of Enchancia at the time was stumped, and your mother was stumped about it for years after the fact. However, the only head way on that case took place many years later after the fact that it was an inside job underneath everyone's noses the whole time". Roland the first said to them as he reveals that it was an inside job this whole time.
Roland the second is stunned as he is a bit confused about it. "An inside job, what do you mean dad? What is it that you are not telling me"? Roland the second asks Roland the first as he is wondering why it was not disclosed many years earlier.
Roland the first look at Roland the second as he sighs as he is very Mystified by the reason for it. "Well, the truth is that Gabriella Garcia Roberts came to me with her evidence that she was secretly investigating Dr. Elizabeth Hudson and her family. Her evidence proved that there were people who worked in the castle at the time when Queen Adaliya passed away. She told me that revealing that her investigation into Dr. Elizabeth and her family can not be out in the open otherwise a lot of people will be in great danger. She told me that the reason why she had to stop her secret investigation into it because she found out that she was pregnant". Roland the first said to them as he explains about it.
Roland the second and Miranda are stunned as they are learning the new revelation about things. "So when Gabriella stopped the secret investigation, the case gotten back cold again". Miranda said to Roland the first as she realizes that it was for everyone's safety about it.
Roland the first nod as he look at Miranda as it is correct about things. " Yes, I have a hunch that the evidence that Gabriella left in this box may provide answers to things". Roland the first said to them as he explains about it. "and Yes, that is correct. There is a family feud between the Greystone family and the Garcia-Roberts family that has not been fully resolved as well. It all started after Cedric ran away from home and drama was building between the two families. It gotten so bad that the Garcia Roberts family wanted a restraining order against the Greystone family, and I granted them that. Meanless to say, I have been carrying the responsibility and guilt to make sure that the Greystones didn't go near the Garcia-Roberts family. I even distance myself from the Garcia-Roberts family and make sure that Greystones stayed away from them". Roland the First said to them as he reveals that there is a family feud that needs to put to an end.
Miranda look at Roland the first as she realizes that he had his reasons for it. "The feud does need to come to an end Roland the first. Plus, I do understand that you want to be responsible for keeping the Greystones away from the other family. It is just we found something of Gabriella's today, and it is a living will of hers in regarding to Madeline. Plus now, we are conflicted on what to do". Miranda said to Roland the First as she hands it to him.
Roland the first look at the living will as he is stunned by how extensive and iron clad it is. as the living willing was notarized and legal in a different kingdom. "Oh boy, it looks like Gabriella had a lot of defenses set up in case something like this happened. You are going to need to have a diplomatic talk with the Queen of Montreala. Plus the Kingdom of Montreala has a special law called the Rhineheart Law". Roland the first said to them as there is a special law in the kingdom.
Miranda is stunned as she dose not know about this particular law. "The Rhineheart Law, can you explain about this particular law"? Miranda asks Roland the first as she is curious about it.
Roland the first nod as he look at them as he need to explain about it. "Yes, the Rhineheart law is named after King Rhineheart. He had a very unique name and he was the first king in the history of the kingdom of Montreala to have a very unique name that wasn't found in baby name books. If a parent wants to name a baby a very special and unique name that wasn't found in baby books, it will be allowed and to be added in the unique baby name book. Also the law also has special protections for the parents in case people demanded them to change it. Also if the child in question was born in the kingdom of Montreal with the name that qualifies under the Rhineheart law, the child's name automatically gets added to the baby name book with its own meaning as well. Plus the child does get citizenship of the kingdom". Roland the first said to them as he explains about it.
Miranda Look at Roland the first as she dose not know that one as she is curious about it. "I do find Madeline real name and the back up name to be very cute and special. I just didn't know that there was a special law that was already in the books in that particular kingdom". Miranda said to them as she does not realize about things.
Roland the first nod as he look at them as he has an ides and a thought. "I have a thought why don't the kids spend the night with me why you and Miranda have some alone time. It will give me time to catch up with the kids". Roland the first asks them as he is making them an offer about things.
Roland and Miranda look at each other as tomorrow night is the anniversary and they do want to do spend some time alone away from the Kids. "I think it is a wonderful idea, but dad will you be ok with the four kids"? Roland the second asks his dad as he is wondering about it.
Roland the first look at them as Miranda is not fully sure about it as she has a thought. "Why don't you ask Kimberly and her head house keeper to come along to help out with things"? Miranda asks Roland the first as she is wanting to make sure that there are more people there.
Roland the first look at Miranda as he thought about it and agreed to it. "I will talk to her about it and let you know about it". Roland the first said to Miranda as he will do that.
Roland the second nod as he will tell the kids about it tonight at dinner. Roland the first nod in agreement as he and William got going as Baileywick and Alice walk them out. Miranda look thought the two box as there is various evidence. as the two of them tak the two box back to her office, they look thought the box filled of evidence as they found a blue print of the Hudson Mansion in the Kingdom of Enchancia and various memos. Miranda recognizes the handwriting on the memos belongs to Gabriella from the writing in the journals. "This is Gabriella's handwriting alright". Miranda said to Roland as she knows whose handwriting it is.
Roland nod as he look at the blueprints and the memos that Gabriella wrote on this. "This house, I sense great horrors within this house. This place is not for anyone to live in not even for the young girl who I saved on the day of the accident who lives here. However, there are great mysteries in this house and out back into the back yard like they are hiding a huge secret that even the Wilson family does not even know about. I deeply fear that the husband who lives here is getting very close to what his wife and her own parent has done in this home, and his life will be in grave danger". Roland said to Miranda as he realizes that the husband must figured out that something was not right with the family that he married into.
Miranda look at Roland as she agrees as this need to be looked into further as she notice an old employee list from back in the day. she notices two names being circled with a memos to get the background on them to further investigating. "Robin and Nicole Hudson, strange why would those two names be circled", Miranda asks Roland as she shows him the two names.
Roland look at the names and the position that they had in the castle. "Nicole Hudson, royal secretary to Queen Kimberly and Robin Hudson the head doctor of the castle infirmary". Roland said to Miranda as he realizes that high level information could have gotten to them.
Miranda look at Roland as she realizing about things. "Isn't the current head doctor Elizabeth Hudson"? Mirada asks Roland as she is wondering where to proceed from here.
Roland nod as he look at Miranda as he knows that is true about things. "Yes, that is correct. However, judging by the time of when Queen Adaliya passed away, Elizabeth was very young and probably had nothing to do with it". Roland said to Miranda as he realizes that he needs to show a magical investigator these evidence. Miranda agrees as they need to show a magical investigator the evidence.
That night at Dinner, Roland and Miranda look at the Kids as they have something to tell them. plus Roland and Miranda got word from Roland the first that Kimberly and Spencer will be at the house tomorrow as well. "Kids, tomorrow night after the anniversary ball you four will be staying the night at your grandfather the first house in Enchancia". Roland said to them as he tells them about it.
The kids are stunned as they learn about the news as they are not pleased about it. "What, I think it is only safe for James to go because he is a boy and not me, Sofia, and Amber because we are girls". Madeline said to them as she is the first in making a protest about it.
Sofia look at Madeline as she kind of disagrees with her as she is curious about Roland the first. "I don't know Madeline. He made the effort to come see us today. Plus you may never know who else is going to be with us at his house". Sofia said to Madeline as she brings up a valid point.
Miranda nod in agreement as she look at Sofia as she is right. "Sofia is right Madeline. Besides, Kimberly and Spencer will also be there as well". Miranda said to them as she reveals that Kimberly and Spencer will be there.
The kids look at them as they learn that Kimberly and Spencer will be at Roland the first's house. "Well, I guess that will be ok with me". Madeline said to them as she and the other siblings nod in agreement about it.
The next day, it is the day of the anniversary ball. Madeline already got Hugo's birthday present as she is wrapping it up. as she already has her over night bag ready for Roland the first house. however, she know that she need to get a two way mirror to make the call to Hugo to be the first one to say happy birthday to him as she sneaks away to get it. she places it in her overnight bag without anyone knowing it. Roland and Miranda talk for a bit as they also sneak the Epi-Potion into Madeline bag just in case sort of situation.
By that evening, the ball is getting stared as various invited gust are her. Alice is in awe by the set up for the ball as this is the first royal ball while working at the Enchancian castle. she notices that Baileywick is very nice and kind to all of the chef's servants, maids, kitchen staff, and stable hands. 'He is not an awful person like Jeffery is at the Wimonia Royal Castle. However, none of the maids are worn down and tired here like they are treated like human beings and not second class citizens like it is at the Wimonia Castle and her former castle'. Alice thought to herself as she is getting lost in her thoughts.
Baileywick look at Alice as he notice that she is deeply thinking about things. "Alice, is something on your mind"? Baileywick asks Alice as he is wondering what she is thinking about.
Alice look at Baileywick as she nod as she is curious about things. "Well yes, it amazes me how you treat the staff with respect and kindness, and the rest of the staff are not run down and tired from bad working hours and proper living quarters for them. You talk to them with respect like a friend and you are not cold hearted and mean towards them. This castle is a healthy living and working environment than the ones that I have been in as a guest and worker at". Alice said to Baileywick as she explains about her observations.
Baileywick look at Alice with a surprised expression on his face as he is deeply curious about it. "Can you explain it better to me"? Baileywick asks Alice as he is wondering where it has been really bad.
Alice nod as she look at Baileywick as she explains things to him. "Well, back when I was working at the Domincia castle, every week, I was tasked to take Queen Gloria and her son for a royal play date at the Wimonia castle in the kingdom of Wimonia. The royal steward there does not treat the staff with the same respect and kindness to the staff like you do. Plus, I have always noticed how the staff there looked run down and tired like they do not get proper rest or even eating properly. I have tried to talk to the king about it only to be turned away by Queen Samantha. Plus, Queen Gloria always gotten on to me about it as well with Queen Samantha watching. It is like the two queens are up too something and has deep friendship between the two of them. However, one time, I did manage to talk to the king of Wimonia about it. He was kind of alarm about it and the prince confirmed that what I said was true. However, Queen Samantha found out about it and had me to stay in this strange tower for a week and Queen Gloria allowed it. After that week, I was forbidden to tell King Edward about it". Alice said to Baileywick as she explains about it.
Baileywick is stunned as he has never heard of a strange tower like that before. "What did they call that tower exactly"? Baileywick asks Alice as he is wondering about it.

Before mom and dad were married, they were living separately and didn't like it when Amber and me mentioned the other to them". James said to them as he is wondering what happened between them.
Sofia and Madeline are stunned as they see their dad's parents dancing with each other. "That is really strange though. I mean they should be married still that way we can see them at the same time". Madeline said to them as she is wondering why that is.
Sofia look at them as she is curious about the same thing. "Maybe it is things that happened before we were born Madeline. Plus, I can tell that they are in love". Sofia said to them as she is deeply curious about them.

As the ball went wonderfully, Roland and Miranda thanks the gust for coming as the Kids nod as Roland and Miranda are saying goodbye to their gust. plus the Kids grabbling their overnight bags while Roland and Miranda grab their overnight bags.

At Roland the first house, the kids are in awe as it is a modest house. William shows the kids and Spencer around the house. Roland the first went with them to show the kids the music library. the kids are in awe by the music Library as they are impressed with the library. the adult went down stairs to talk and other other things. the kids nod as they are checking out the music library as they see all sort of music compositions for various instruments. "Wow, who knew that grandfather the first has so many musical compositions here". Amber said to them as she is impressed by the collection of them.
James look at the various shelves filled with sheet music for various genres and instrument that he has in the library. "I bet Miranda Louise spent a lot of time in here". James said to them as he is talking about their cousin who has gotten to know Roland the First before Sofia and Madeline.
Sofia look at them as she shrug as she dose like the room, but she is not into music as much like the rest of her sibling. "That is true James at the same time this room is perfect for those who likes band". Sofia said to them as she is curious what else is in this music library. She turns her attention to a mostly and empty shelf with a dragon lily statuette on a shelf. "Umm, this is weird, why would Grandfather the first has a lone statuette on a shelf with nothing else on that shelf"? Sofia asks them as she gets their attention to the shelf.
The sibling are stunned as they went over to the shelf that Sofia is talking about as it is very stranger. "It is a dragon lily but not a live flower, and yet it is the same flower that Silvercloud Angel and Jennifer throws at people to get their attention and focus on". James said to them as he is deeply curious about the statuette.
Amber look at them as she is kind of confused about the statuette of the flower on the shelf. "Yeah, but I don't think it is something that we should touch though". Amber said to them as she is getting the feeling that they shouldn't touch it.
Madeline look at them as she shrugs it off as she is curious what is behind it. "What's the worse that can happen Amber". Madeline said to them as she grabs the statuette.
Sudden, a wall open revealing an amulet is being revealed to them as the security alarm is going off as high musical tone is playing as all of the books and sheet music is falling to the floor. the adult come back into the room as they see what is going on. Roland the first frown as he see the statuette in Madeline hands. "Madeline, what did you do"? Roland the first asks Madeline as he is really mad at her.
Madeline look at Roland the first as she see that he is really mad as Kimberly give him a look. "I just wanted to see why there was a statuette on a lone shelf by itself. Plus, why was there an amulet in their anyways"? Madeline asks Roland the first as she was too curious for her own good.
Roland the first frowns as he give her a look as he shut the alarm off as he put the statuette back as the alarm is shut off, the sheet music returns back to the shelves that it belongs to with a special kind of magical. "If someone touches the dragon lily statuette, the special alarm will go off. It also reveals the Amulet of Lady Thalia". Roland the first said to them as he is not pleased with Madeline.
Madeline look at Roland the first as the kids are stunned as they learn about another amulet. "Oh sorry Grandfather the First", Madeline said to Roland the First as the other kids are wondering about it.
Roland the first look at them as he nod as it is getting too late. "Just don't do it again, now I think you kids had enough time in here for one night". Roland the first said to the kids as it is time for them to leave the room. Roland the First resets the alarm as he leaves the room.
Downstairs, the kids are stunned as they are wondering about things. "So Grandfather the First, where did you get the amulet from? I mean should you turn it over to dad for safe keeping at the castle where it can be watched over by the griffins". Sofia asks Roland the First as she is curious about it.
Roland the first look at Sofia as he give her a look as he shake his head. "No, the Amulet of Lady Thalia was entrusted to me by Eric Hudson. In fact, he was the one that built the security system with his magic". Roland the first said to them as they are in the living room and talking.
Spencer is stunned as she hear the name as she is very surprised to learn about it. "Eric Hudson, he is my father's name. Did you know him by any chance"? Spencer asks Roland the first as she is curious about him.
Roland the first look at Spencer as he is next to be surprised as there is a connection between the head house keep and the grand King. "Why yes, I should have realized that you are his daughter though". Roland the first said to Spencer as he is curious about things.
Spencer nod as she look at them as she has some suspicions about things. "Yes, he is my dad. He died when I was a kid. I don't know how he got a hold of an amulet and turn it in to you, but if I know my dad, he had a powerful reason for it. Plus if he built the security system with his magic, he made it really inconspicuous in the room". Spencer said to them as she realizes that her dad must had a reason for it.
Roland the first nod as he look at Spencer as he can tell that she missed her dad. "Believe me Spencer, he did had those reasons". Roland the first said to Spencer as he has a feeling that the amulet is not meant for her.
Sofia look at them as she has a thought about things. "Maybe the amulet is meant for you Spencer? I mean you are a lady that needs to be protected". Sofia said to Spencer as she thinks that it is meant to be for her.
Spencer look at Sofia as she is stunned by her word as she is baffled about it. "Nope, I do not have any talent in music. Plus just because I am a woman does not mean that I need to be protected Princess Sofia". Spencer said to Sofia as the comment rubs her in the wrong way.
Spencer walk away from them as she dose other things as the kids give Sofia a look as Sofia shrug it off as she is wondering about things. "So if the amulet is not meant for Spencer, then it must be for Miranda Louise since she gotten to know you longer than Madeline and me right". Sofia said to Roland the first as she is wondering about it. Kimberly looks at Sofia as she is also curious about it as well as she knows that Roland the First does spent time with Enrique's granddaughter more than the new granddaughters.
Roland the first frown as he look at Sofia as he dose not like the assumption about Miranda Louise being a favored non granddaughter. "No Sofia. I do not like how you are insinuating that I favor her more than you and Madeline. Just because Miranda Louise and I do have a close bond, it does not mean that I favor her more than the rest of you. Besides, the statuette will reveal who it is for". Roland the first said to Sofia as he is not happy that she is disrespecting him.
The kids look at Sofia as they glare at her as she gotten their grandfather upset. it is not long after that a call to Roland the first from Miranda come in to say good night to the kids. Roland the first answered as he tell her about what happend in the music library and the out of line insinuating comments about things.
Miranda sighs as she is getting the feeling that Sofia was being the disrespectful one. "I will talk to her about it tomorrow". Miranda said to Roland the First as she is wondering what Sofia's problem was. As the kids say good night to Miranda and Roland the second on the two way mirror, the kids went on to bed for the night.
The next mornings, The kids are up as Spencer and Kimberly come back from their Moring run. William is preparing breakfast for everyone. plus Madeline is already awake and made a call to Hugo to be first one to say Happy Birthday. Roland the first is stunned to see Madeline being awake so early around 6;30 am. "Madeline, where do you get the energy to wake up so early in the morning? I thought you would sleep in like the rest of your siblings". Roland the first asks Madeline as he is wondering about it.
Madeline look at Roland the first as she is sure about it. "Well, I do have an earlier bedtime from my siblings when it should be me that had the later bedtime from them". Madeline said to Roland the first.
Roland the first sighs as he need to talk to the parents about her sleeping habit. "I can see that about things". Roland the first said to Madeline as he sighs as he is wondering why her bed time is not until later.
Madeline nod as she went to grab a book that has the two legends about the two amulets' as she sits down to read it. she is kind of curious about the legend about it. Roland the first nod as he notices how Madeline was researching the legend. 'Just like Gabriella always researching the ancient legends'. Roland the first thought to himself as he went to his study.
A bit later, everyone is at the breakfast table as Spencer and William cooked Breakfast for everyone as they are bring the food to the table. "Ok, we got a ham and cheese omelet for Kimberly, and a southwest omelet for Roland the First. Pancakes, sausage, and eggs for the kids and a plain omelet for William, and a bacon, onion, cheese, and spinach omelet for me", Spencer said to them as she places the food at the table for each person.
The Kids are stunned as the food is really good as the kids has organe juice while Roland the first and William have coffee while Kimberly and Spencer has hot tea with their breakfast. Madeline look at Spencer's plate as she is kind of confused about something. "Spencer, why do you have spinach in your omelet? I thought it was only a dinner time vegetable". Madeline said to Spencer as she is wondering about it.
Spencer look at them as she hear that correctly as the other sibling sighs as they shake their heads "Well, spinach can be used in various dishes and applications in cooking. I didn't steam the spinach though when I made my omelet". Spencer said to Madeline as she explains about it.
The kids are stunned as they hear that correctly as they are wondering what Spencer meant by it. they dose not smell the spinach in Spencer's breakfast. "Umm sure what ever you say Spencer". Madeline said to Spencer as they are a bit skeptical about it. Roland the first and Kimberly look at each other as they shrug to each other as they eat breakfast.
It was after Breakfast that Roland the second and Miranda arrives to pick up the kids as William bring the bags down from their rooms. the adults talk for a couple of minutes as Kimberly look at the kids. "I will see you soon kids, I promise". Kimberly said to the kids as they are saying their goodbyes.
The kids nod in agreement. as they left with parents as they got in the cloud coaster and head back to the castle so the kids can do what they need to get ready for the birthday party "Dad, why did you not talk to grandfather the first about moving the Amulet of Lady Thalia to the jewel room in the castle that way the griffins will keep an eye on it better? The way he has it guard and secure is so different that it is not normal by royal standards". Sofia asks Roland as she is hoping that he will talk to his dad about changing how the amulet will be protected.
Roland look at Sofia as he is stunned by the question as he is very confused about it. "Sofia, you shouldn't have to worry about it. It is safe with my dad. Plus just because someone has something different set up from us it does not mean it does not get the same job done". Roland the second said to Sofia as he is wondering why she asked that question.
Sofia sighs as she look at them as they got back to the castle. the kids got changed out of their clothe and put on different clothes for the birthday party in Novanimia. plus the kids got their presents for Hugo as well. Madeline smirks as she found something that Hugo really like and what he wanted. Sofia frowns by the size of her present being bigger than her.

Plus none of them goes to the Magma Institute like me, Jasmine, and Thomas". Miranda Louise said to Madeline as she is getting used to being around people again after what happened to her.
Madeline nod as she look at Miranda Louise as it is a step in the right direction for her cousin. "Well, they do go to Royal Prep like me, James, Amber, and Sofia". Madeline said to Miranda Louise as she explains about it.
Miranda Louise look at Madeline as she understand as she is staring to relax a bit. "That's good to know Madeline", Miranda Louise said to Madeline as she is pleased about things.

However, my parents pulled me and my little brother out of that school at the beginning of summer vacation.

Madeline nod as she look at them as it explain about things. "I see. How come you and your little brother got pulled out from the Magma Institute anyways"? Madeline asks Prince Derrick as she has a feeling about it.
Derrick sigh as is a story that is the usual things happened. "It involves a guy who I thought was my friend but went too far when he harmed my little brother. Even though it didn't happen on school campus, my parents thought it will be unsafe for me and Liam to return to school in the fall. The ex-friend made himself look like the victim while trying to get me into trouble when I was doing the right thing". Derrick said to them as he explains about it.
Madeline look at Derrick as he can understand things like that as she is also getting the feeling on who he is talking about on the friend part. "I get who you are talking about now Prince Derrick. One wrong move towards my cousin Miranda Louise, and you have to answer to me". Madeline said to Derrick as she is very protective as she walks away from them.

Jennifer look at Sofia as she sighs as she need to explain about what happend this morning. "Well, I had something fun for Hugo this morning that my family did on one of our birthdays or special occasions like first day of school, wedding anniversary's, and other occasions as well, but by the time I went to get him to head out. I saw him talking on the two way mirror with Madeline and she got to say happy birthday to him first. It kind of rubbed me in the wrong way. I thought since I am his god sister I get to the be the one to tell Hugo a happy birthday before anyone else, but I get pushed aside by Madeline". Jennifer said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia is stunned as she is curious about what Jennifer's family did on a birthday. "Oh, I am sorry that Madeline did that. Plus she is an early riser though. However, I am curious what is the family tradition that you and your family did", Sofia asks Jennifer as she is intrigued about it.
Jennifer nod as she looks at Sofia as she will explain about it. "Well, we get up and head towards the highest point in the kingdom and have a heart to heart conversation about what they hope for in the year and things like that. The only person in my family that I have right now is Uncle AC and as for the rest of my family well they are missing and held captive". Jennifer said to Sofia as she admits that she does miss them.
Sofia is stunned as she notice that Jennifer is kind of upset about things. "Oh, that must be a lot of fun though. I would definely go for something like that. You still miss your family don't you"? Sofia asks Jennifer as she realizes that the girl is a bit homesick.
Jennifer nod as she look at Sofia as she nod as she still missing her family. "Yes I do Sofia. It is just so hard and not knowing where they are held captive and things like that. Was there anything you wanted to ask me"? Jennifer ask Sofia as she is curious about it.
Sofia look at Jennifer as she think back to the battle when they have to saver Miranda Louise. "Yeah, Jennifer how do you know these spells that you used during the mission several weeks ago". Sofia asks Jennifer as she is curious about it.
Jennifer look at Sofia as she need to explain about it. "Well, I learned various spells from my grandfather, my uncle AC, and my dad. My grandfather his name is Fernando. He is a wizard. However from what I know about my grandmother is that her name is Esmeralda and she is a sorceress and a potions master, so naturally my Uncle AC and my dad learned from them. I do have an aunt, my dad and uncle AC's sister. From what I have been told about my auntie is that she is a powerful magical being and knows how to kick a person's rear end. My grandfather says knowledge shouldn't be kept to yourselves, it needs to be shared and passed down from generation to generation. My grandfather also says never be boastful about your abilities and skills only use those skills in a modest and humble way. The only time to go even further in showing those skills is when someone escalates the situation first". Jennifer said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia is stunned as she didn;t know that part about Jennifer's family as she learns that Jennifer has been around magical all her left. "Wow, I had no idea. Plus, your grandfather sounds very wise like my grandfather Enrique". Sofia said to Jennifer as she learns about it.
Jennifer nod as she look at Sofia as she is staring to bound with the girl. "Yeah sometimes when someone seeks wisedom is when someone really messes things up". Jennifer said to them as the two girls went back to the party.

Sofia said to Miranda as she explains that it should have been King Gerrick to find it and not Madeline. Axel is talking to Madeline about the gift that she got Hugo as he thanks her for getting it.
Miranda look at Sofia as she notices the toy that Madeline give Hugo as it did made his day. "Let me guess, Madeline got something that should have been bought by his dad or brother right. Plus Madeline must have found a way to get it here very quickly in the last several weeks. I will talk to her about it". Miranda said to Sofia as she knows that it should have be gotten by someone else.
Sofia nod as she thanks Miranda going to talk to her about it. "Thanks mom, plus, Madeline didn't know that she even upstaged Jennifer this morning when she wanted to be the first one to say happy birthday to Hugo first and even had plans for him this morning as well". Sofia said to Miranda as she explains about it.
Miranda look at Sofia as she sigh about things as King Gerrick went over to them as he dose know about it. . "Queen Miranda please, there is no need to talk to Princess Madeline about her gift. I am just glad that she found it. Plus about the thing Jennifer planned for Hugo this morning, they did that as well. So there is no harm no foul about it".

Plus, anything that can go wrong will go wrong especially since if Cordelia Greystone shows up just to visit her parents. I am glad that they have not gone after Jennifer. At the same time, the letter says that if you have any pets to bring them with you as the kids at the castle loves animals". AC said to Ginger as he shows the letter to her.
