Madeline : Prelude to a Retribution
Beatrice : The word retribution, it means severe punishment and consequences for those who has done a serious wrong to someone or a group of beings. In my short life, I have faced all sorts of retributions and great punishments on me for things that are unethical and the unthinkable. Even though I am safe now, it doesn't mean that I am not yet fully free from the spell that my daddy placed on me. However, I fear that the retribution is now coming to start for people who never deserve it. However, what everyone does not know that there is a prelude to the retribution that is coming for the good innocent people.
In the Enchancia, the people in the kingdom are sound asleep as it is the middle of the night. this is true for the in habitants at the Enchancia Royal Castle. However not everyone is having a sweetest dreams especially for Madeline.
Madeline finds herself at the very location of where the incident happened at the school in the Village. she walks around as she arrives to the very place where she was shoved down to the ground by Nathaniel as the others are waiting to get at her as well. However she notices that herself in the scene and the other there including Nathaniel are frozen in place like time has come to a stop at that very moment.
"It is moments like this that a parent or an another adult should have stopped things like this". A male voice said to Madeline as there is a presence that fills the scene.
Madeline is stunned as she hears the unknown voice as she dose not recognize it. "Huh, who are you? Please show yourself to me", Madeline said out there as she is wondering about it. She is getting kind of scared as she does not know who the person is that is talking to her.
"I am Angeleon. Please don't be afraid. I am not here to harm you, young child. I am here to warn you that the kids that harmed you on that day are in a lot of trouble as they are trapped in a horrible place just as I am". The male voice named Angeleon said to Madeline as he explains about it.
Madeline is stunned and a bit confused about it. "What do you mean by trapped in a horrible place? How do I know that you are telling the truth"? Madeline asks Angeleon as she is wondering about it.
The scenery changer as Madeline find herself at a stranger hideout as she notices a stranger room as there are bounty knights surrounding strange pyramid shaped cell that has a man locked up in it as he has a lot of restraint on him like he was turn into stone like statue on a cross with wings on it. she also looks around at this place as she saw almost all of the bullies that picked on her a lot and involved in the incident with the exception of two people. all of them were turned to stone somehow.
"I do not understand Angeleon. How come they are trapped like that"? Madeline asks Angeleon as she is wondering how this could have happened.
The voice of Angelon look at Madeline as he need to explain about it. "The evil ones found out that they interfered with a plan that was supposed to execute during that time on you. It is their retribution for it. They gotten all of them except for two of them as one of them was under protective custody by the crown of Novanima while the other one lives in Gladiz and deeply unaware of what has happened to the former friends that he called friends are in right now". Angeleon said to Madeline as he explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as she realizes who it is. "Wait a minute, are you talking about Parker and Nathaniel? How can that be"? Madeline asks the voice as she does not understand about it.
The voice of Angelon nod as the scene changes to some time ago prior to the Pen Pal Exchange week as Parker is heading back towards the library at his new school of the Fairington school in the Kingdom of Novanima.
"Just because Nathaniel is the only kid that you know of that moved away from the kingdom of Enchancia, it does not mean that there were other kids from that same group of bullies that also moved away from Enchancia as well. The only other kid from that group of kid that they knew mutually is none other than Parker". The voice of Angeleon said to Madeline as he explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as she did not think about it like that. "I never thought about it like that before, Angeleon". Madeline said to the voice of Angeleon as she sees what happened.
Parker is in the Library as he is looking for action book to read as he hears some voice talking. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT RED HEADED PRINCESSE BRAT OF ENCHANCIA DREW THE NAME OF A CASTLE SCHOOLED PRINCESS AS HER PEN PAL? A female voice said to someone in library. Parker is stunned by this as he went to hide very quietly as he grabs a book as the people talking did not see him as he got a good look at them as it is a few staff members as it is one of the teachers that is leading the conversation.
Another staff member nod in agreement as they had no idea that a student is listening to their conversation. "Yes, Shelia told me that Princess Sofia drew the name that we wanted that red headed brat for the plan. However, now, it will have to be scraped for another plan". Another staff member said to the teacher who started the conversation.
The group frowns as their plans has been ruined before it could even star. "Agreed, however, there is a plan in the works to target the evil bad kids that gotten to that red headed brat and interfered with the May 15th fiasco". One of the staff members said to them as they explained about it.
Parker is stunned as he think about that particular day. 'Wait a minute, May 15th, that is the day of the incident back at my old school. How could they have known about it'? Parker thought to himself as he remained quiet as he overheard and saw everything. As the group concluded their meeting and talk, they left the library like nothing happened as they did not even see or notice Parker in the library for the entire time of things. Parker notices that they left a picture behind as it was the very moment that Madeline was on the ground being surrounded by Parker, Nathaniel, and the rest of the bullying crew that were involved picking on her. He gotten a strange feeling about it. As he picked up the picture, he looks on the back of it and it said ABORT THE MISSION in bold letters. Parker is stunned by this as he had no idea that the May 15th incident that they were talking about was the day of the incident at the school. He did not know who left the picture behind as he grabbed the book that he plans to check out to read. The librarian checks the book out and hands it back to the student as she is unaware of the things that went down.
Madeline is stunned by this as she had no idea that they were planning something back in early January. "You mean Parker found out that they were going to do that to me". Madeline said to the voice of Angeleon as she realizes that the guy was horrified about it.
The Voice of Angelon nod as he look at Madeline as she learns about this. "Yes, however, Parker and his family have paid the price of knowing about it". The voice of Angeleon said to Madeline as the scenery changes as she got to watch that Parker and his family were being threaten with bodily harm and harassed about it so much. It gotten so bad that King Gerrick stepped in and had the family in protected custody with their names and identities changed while King Gerrick launched the investigation. King Gerrick and his guards seized the group of school employees and arrested them for various crimes.
As Madeline saw the school staffers from the Fairington school being sent to Jail, none of them talked who is there masterminds behind things. she realizes that they were deeply loyal to who ever is behind things. "No wonder Hugo never learned about Parker in his kingdom. That kid was probably in that protective custody during that time. However, how did Nathaniel gotten the picture"? Madeline asks the voice as she is wondering how that happened.
The Scenery changes again as it is the beginning of April as Parker and his family are released from the Protective custody as they are heading back to Novanima while they were in a different Kingdom for those months. Madeline notices that Nathaniel and Parker bumped into each other by Chance as this is the first time that the two boys has seen each other in years.
"Nathaniel, is that you? I have not seen you since prior to the museum field trip incident". Parker said to Nathaniel as he was barred from going on that trip.
Nathaniel nod as he remembers him as he is surprise to see him again like this. "Yeah, I go to another school now and live in a different kingdom now Parker. What are you doing here"? Nathaniel asks Parker as he is wondering about it.
Parker look at Nathaniel as he lightly smile as it is the first time in the few months that someone other then the people who was after him and his famil.
"It is a long story dude. Plus, I need to ask you a huge favor. I know it is a lot to ask, but you are the only one that probably does not know about this". Parker said to Nathaniel as he looks over his shoulder to make sure that no one else is around for him to hand him an item.
Nathaniel is stunned by this as he has no idea why his old classmate and friend is behaving so weird and strange. "Know about what, Parker, are you afraid that someone is out to get you"? Nathaniel asks Parker as he shows genuine concern for him despite how the friendship ended years ago.
Parker nod as he look at him as he can't be friends with his old friends from Enchancia. "Well, even though the threat to me and my family is over, it is kind of a new habit now. I found this picture at my school in Novanima. I need you to get this to Princess Madeline's mother". Parker said to Nathaniel as he shows him the very picture that he recovered from that day in the library back in January.
Nathaniel is stunned by this as he look at the picture of himself, Parker, and the others in their old friend group and Madeline is in it. "Wait a minute, what, Princess Madeline, she is actually a princess now". Nathaniel said to Parker as he had no idea about it.
Parker nod as he look at Nathaniel as he told him about it. "Yeah she and Sofia are princesses now back in Enchancia. Plus, if I do recall correctly, you deeply had that crush on Sofia didn't you". Parker said to Nathaniel as he asked about it.
Nathaniel look at Parker as he blushed as he dose like her still as he rediscovered its on his own from the counseling sessions about things. "Yeah, I will make sure that their mom gets this. Not only that, I will think about that day more deeper now as I always believed that there was something that was more off than I thought". Nathaniel said to Parker as he reveals about it.
Parker is stunned by this as he is a bit confused about it. "More off about it, I mean I saw the words abort the mission on the back of the picture". Parker said to Nathaniel as he is wondering what he meant by it.
Nathaniel nod as he look at Parker as he realizes about things. "Yeah, I am almost at the point where I can explain what I saw that was really suspicious that was there for a minute and then that thing that I saw vanished the next minute. This picture will prove that someone other than us saw what happened. Who ever took this picture watched the whole thing went down. Think about it, why did the person who took the picture never went to get our teacher to come to see what happened when our teacher was being led by Sofia to where we were". Nathaniel said to Parker as he explains that it was Sofia that gotten their teacher's attention to what happened on that day.
Parker is stunned by this as he realizes about it as he also thinks back to that day as it was Sofia that gotten their teacher's attention. "Ok, you definitely are on to something about this dude. Plus, we would have saw the person who took the picture went to get our teacher and we be none the wiser as that person could have been another teacher on the playground. How did you come to that conclusion about things"? Parker asks Nathaniel as he is wondering about it.
Nathaniel look at Parker as he will explain about it. "A lot of counseling, using the Looking Back Glass, re learning what the true meaning of friendship is really about, and gaining a new group of friends at school that have each other's backs including mine". Nathaniel said to Parker as he explains as it worked wonders for him.
Parker is stunned by this as he had no idea about it. "Woah my dude, you really turned over a new leaf. I am actually jealous of you". Parker said to Nathaniel as he sees that he is a deeply changed kid. Nathaniel agrees about it as the two talk.
Madeline is stunned by this as she realizes that this was the only time that Nathaniel saw Parker. she saw the two boys parted ways as Nathaniel has the picture in his hands.
"No wonder Nathaniel told us that he only saw Parker just once since he moved away". Madeline said to the voice of Angeleon as the scenery changes again.
The voice of Angelon nod as he look at Madeline as the scenery is revealing something else. "Yes, also before I go, there is something else that you need to see". The voice of Angeleon said to Madeline as the scenery is starting to set in as it is the royal castle of Costia as the matriarch of the evil family is in the royal meeting room.
Madeline is stunned by this as she has never been here before as she notices the elderly woman. "Where am I Angeleon"? Madeline asks Angeleon as she knows that this is not Enchancia or Novanima in the slightest.
Angeleon look at Madeline as he will tell her about it. "This is the royal castle in the kingdom of Costia. That evil woman that you see is a great evil that has caused great chaos, drama, and deep feuds and disputes between kingdoms. She knows how to get people in great trouble with the law especially since she has done that to Kimberly". Angeleon said to Madeline as he reveals about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as she is deeply confused about it. "You mean my grandmum. Who is that evil lady anyways and why she did that to my grandmum"? Madeline asks Angeleon as she is wondering about it.
The voice of Angelon look at Madeline as he will need to explain things to her. 'That evil lady's name is Dorothy. Even though she has met your grandmum just one time, her actions brought nothing but drama and conflict. It was from that one meeting that she had with your grandmum set up a life time of spying on her to learn about things no one should know about". The voice of Angeleon said to Madeline as he explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as the moment begins three years earlier as a girl named Mandy went towards Dorothy is holding a picture of her when she was younger.
"Grand mummy, is this you with the rainbow colored hair"? Mandy asks Dorothy as she is wondering about it.
Dorothy nod as she look at her own grand draught as she smiles to her deeply as she love her very deeply and very much like her other grand children as she treats them equally.
"Yes it was. That was my hair color before it went away just like that. But even after so many years, the rainbow colored hair still has not came back up, and yet some how that Esmeralda just had to had kids with red hair and one of them had kids of her own that also has red hair just to rub it in my face". Dorothy said to Mandy as she expresses deep resentment about the lose of her rainbow colored hair.
Mandy nod as she look at Dorothy as she put the picture down. "You mean the red headed princess of Enchancia that I have heard and known about from Prince George and Prince Eugene. I have heard that she is very elusive". Mandy said to Dorothy as she explains about it.
Dorothy smirks as she has an evil smile on her face. "Enchancia you say, it is the kingdom where those outsider influenced sons lives still. Not only that, it gives me an idea that will get that wretched Kimberly lives as well. Esmeralda may have forgiven her once for getting dragged into the feud, but I will make sure that Kimberly gets into trouble with Esmeralda again". Dorothy said to them as she has a plan forming in her head.
Mandy nod as she learns about it as Dorothy wrote that fake letter as it gets sent off to Kimberly as she smirks about it. "You are devious grand mummy". Mandy said to Dorothy as she loves the evil scheme that took place.
Madeline is stunned as she saw the moments that Dorothy sent the fake letter about things. "No wonder my grandmum had a hard time getting to see me. She was sent fake letter all this time when that Royal Restraining order was still in affect this whole time". Madeline said to the voice of Angeleon as she realizes that there was more to things that meets the eye.
The voice of Angelon nod as the scenery changes again as it is back at that horrible place as Madeline saw the strangest statues of various kids including old classmate screaming for help and forgiveness as the dreams end.
Madeline wake up in her bed with a cold sweat on her forehead as things are staring to make sense to her. as she look at her clock as it is barely 4 ; 00 am as she is wondering about things as she knows that there is a lot that need to be told to Sofia when the time is right.
The next morning, the kids are all on the way to school as a stranger package has arrived to the castle as Baileywick is carrying it to Roland and Miranda as are in the dining room talking about the upcoming weekend as they are invited to attend a birthday for Thomas.
"Your majesties, this package has came for you and Queen Miranda". Baileywick said to them as he places the package down on the table.
Miranda and Roland are stunned by this as it also come with a note from the senders.
"King Roland the second and Queen Miranda of Enchancia, we have known about your plight of having to move to a new castle. However, we have found an ancient map of Enchancia that will give you and your family a lead to your new home". Miranda said to Roland as she reads the note.
Roland look at the map as it look like this location is between Dunwitty Village and Summerset village as he is is puzzled about it. "Baileywick, I need you to get the staff together including Hank, Chef Andre, Chef Chris and all of the medical staff who are here at the Castle Infirmary today to bring all cleaning supplies with them". Roland said to Baileywick as he needs various staff members with them. Baileywick nods as he understands about it as he does just that while Roland calls his parents and Tilly and Sir Bartleby to come with him.
As it took some time, everyone got into various of carriages as they head out as they meet up with Roland the First, Kimberly, Specher, Tilly and Sir Bartleby as they head that way. after 30 minute rid, they spot the scroll glowing as a brand new road is reveled to them as it leads towards an Island. as the the carriage is on the new road, it is a wooded area as various tree are in the area. there are various wild animals who lives in the area like they have live there for thousands of years as the animals spot them as they bow to them like it respect them.
About a ten minute drive later, the carriage arrives to the new natural giant island with a gigantic castle and 1 4 towers surrounding the giant castle as it has a massive background gardens, a massive stable, a garage for carriage and cloud coaster, a boat/ship docks, a swimming pools, and other features like a few manor houses and a few boarding house in front of the castle. they decide to an aerial view of the castle as it is beautiful as well. as the carriage lands, the scroll is glowing again as a powerful magic gotten rid of the weeds, brush, and dust that covered the outside of the castle and the other building like it was preserving things for tens of thousands of years plus it even reveals a few set of keys to the new castle. plus there is a flag of Enhancie on top of it.
Miranda is stunned by this as she look at the scroll as it must have been a powerful enough to do that. Roland uses the key to unlock the castle door as they went inside of the Castle as Inside is a heavily dusted place like no one has clean it in a very long time. plus there is no furniture in it at all like it was gotten rid of years ago.
"We should get started in cleaning this place". Miranda said to them as she is in awe of this place.
Baileywick nods as he has the various staff members to start cleaning things. Plus they even invited Goodwyn and Winnifred to use magic to help with the cleaning process.
As everyone got to work, they are working hard as each room is very empty as it is very dusty. after a few hours Tilly had lunch ordered in for everyone to take a break as Hank is there thinking about Becky as he is deeply worried about her.
"Hank, is something wrong? You have been awfully quiet since we gotten here this morning"? Roland the second asks Hank as everyone looks at the man.
Hank sighs as he look at them as he is getting worried about Becky. "The thing is ever since the failed inspection and the 25% of all of the staff members were furloughed for disturbing findings in their background checks by the kingdom of Montreala, I have not seen her. I even reported her missing with the Constable's Office. The deputy that I talked to said that she is just a teenager and ran off to calm down. It was like he did not take my concerns seriously. When I told him that I wanted to speak to Constable Myles about this matter, the deputy told me that Constable Myles had actual crimes to investigate than an upset teen over a trivial matter. He never even properly filed my missing person report. No matter how many times I went over there in the last couple of weeks, that constable deputy has made sure that Constable Myles does not know that Becky is missing". Hank said to them as he is getting worried about her.
The adults are stunned by this as they learn that a constable deputy never took the report of an missing girl seriously to make into a report. "What, how could have that happened"? Roland the second asks them as he is very stunned by this.
Hank sigh as he is not fully sure about it as he look at Roland. "I honestly don't know. It is like the constable deputy wanted me to think and believe that she left on her own reconnaissance and went off somewhere to calm down because she is a teenage girl. Plus, he even insinuated that Becky ran off because of my discovery of what she did and afraid to face me and the entire royal family". Hank said to them as he is deeply confused about it.
Spencer nod as she is getting the bad feeling about it. "It sounds like to me that the constable deputy is manipulating and gaslighting you into thinking that it was your own doing than the narrative that you are trying to explain to him about what happened and the last time you saw Becky". Spencer said to Hank as everyone is stunned by this.
Miranda look at Spencer as she is wondering how this is possible. "Wait how would you know that Spencer"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is wondering about it.
Spencer look at Miranda as it is easy to figure out to say the least. "I was raised by a master manipulator in my mother. She always used what ever means needed to make sure that she was the believed person over others especially me and those who stand by me when there was something wrong that was going on at my childhood home. I can't tell you how many times in my life that my mother made sure that I could not get what I wanted or even truly achieve from my hard work in school". Spencer said to them as she gives a harsh glare at Roland as she has experienced when her mother got him to believe her word over Spencer and people who stand by her when she was a kid.
Miranda look at Roland the Second as she is getting the feeling that he was manipulated by Spencer's mother. "So would a person using their charms to manipulate and gaslight a person also count"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is getting the feeling that is something that Madeline has done.
Spencer look at Miranda as she give that it is very obvious expression on her face. "Yes it does Queen Miranda. Let me guess, when ever Madeline uses her charms, poutiness, and pushiness, she ends up getting what she wanted at the expense of the other children especially Sofia's expense"? Spencer asks them as she figured it out with relative ease.
Miranda is stunned by this as she look at Spencer as it is true. "Yeah, that is true Spencer. I have always fell for Madeline's charms. How did you know"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is wondering about it.
Spencer look at Miranda as she has that small smile on her face. "Well when the kids were at the Lake House when Madeline was in the hospital, I saw the kids more being at ease and relax like a weight was lifted from their shoulders like being around Madeline added the stress on them. The kids did not say it, but their tired expressions on their faces points to that. Not only that, even though, they were worried about Madeline, it felt like they wondered if they will get more attention from their parents and especially Kimberly since Madeline was not there. However, the heated discussions between Baileywick and Kimberly did not help in the matter especially when Kimberly kicked Baileywick and the kids out". Spencer said to them as she explains about it.
Miranda nod as she thinks about it. "So was it true that Sofia said about Amber learning how to ride a flying horse from you and riding on your flying horse"? Miranda asks Spencer as she is wondering about it.
Spencer nod as she look at them as it is true. "Yes, it is true Queen Miranda. The kids never went back to the castle in Enchancia to bring Minimus over to the lake house, so I decided that they can ride on my horse. Plus I even let Amber ride with me, and she gained the confidence to ride a horse on her own. She really wanted to surprise you, but other things gotten in the way". Spencer said to them as she explains about it.
Miranda nod as she learn more about it as she thanks Spencer for telling her. as everyone is finishing up eating, they took a huge look around in the new castle that appeared to them. plus they are curious about the surrounding areas of the castle.
"So did anyone find anything interesting on the property"? Roland the second asks them as he breaks the tension that was in the group.
Winnifred nod as she look at them as they saw a lot of things. "Well, Goodwyn and I found five big boarding houses that we also cleaned up with magic. It is big enough for all the castle staffers. Plus, we even saw 5 manor houses. Each boarding house and manor house had a symbol on each one. There was main castle, main castle kitchen, medical, main castle outdoors, and main castle administration. Also, there is a knights area with a manor house, training area for them, and two guard towers near the main entrance of the rive way of the castle". Winnifred said to them as she explains as she uses her magic to create a map of the castle grounds and the locations of the manor houses,
Baileywick is stunned by this as he look at them as he is very surprised about it. "Wow, that is a huge step up from things". Baileywick said to them as he is deeply impressed about it. "four big boarding house that is a step up
Goodwyn nod as he look at them as there is a mystery about the castle itself. "There are three magical workshops fitting for a royal wizard and royal sorcerer. Not only that, we were able to clean the towers from the outside and inside. However we couldn't look what was inside of it because it can only be opened by the person whose name is on the door". Goodwyn said to them as he explains about it.
Miranda is stunned by it as they are a bit confused about it. "What do you mean you could not open it? We not seen anyone else here but us". Miranda asks them as they are wondering about it.
Goodwyn look at them as they will need to show them it. "Follow us". Goodwyn said to them as they went to where one of the towers is as there is a door with the name Miranda on it. "Miranda, why don't you give it a try"? Goodwyn asks Miranda as he wants her to try.
As Miranda touches the door knob, it reveals her name on the door as it unlocks magically. Miranda opens the door to find a huge office space that has a mutual with the lion and trident on the wells.
"Wow, this tower is my new office. It is huge. Plus I feel deeply at home". Miranda said to them as she notice thing.
Roland the second nod as everyone else in awe of the room and the mural. "Yes plus the lions on the mural is a nice touch and a connection with your side of the family". Roland the second said to Miranda as they are in awe of it.
Miranda nod in agreement as everyone nod as they notice the trident and the heart air is between Roland and her. However there is another mural with her own family tree of her immediate family that also includes step kids and adopted kids on it as they leaven the tower, the door is locked magically as they went to check out Roland the second and Baileywick's new office of their own tower. However, when Baileywick check out his office for the first time, He is just in awe of it just like the others, However, on the mural of his office, it has things on it that is a huge mystery even to him. He keep his thought to himself as Dr Kim went to them as she see the new castle infirmary.
Dr. Kim nod as she and the others in the medical castle infirmary lead them to a corridor breezeway outside where it is a bigger building that goes to a large side building that has the medical symbol on it. as they head in there is a waiting area lobby and various medical examination room and doctor's offices. also there, connecting to the infirmary is the solace/resting rooms where the patient/person that was in great danger can rest peacefully.
"Never in my wildest dreams that there is a solace wing here", Dr. Kim said to them as she and the other medical staff are impressed by it.
Roland the second nod in agreement as he is deeply impressed by it. "This castle comes with things that the old castle does not have in comparison.
Miranda nod in agreement as she see things for herself. "Yeah, even though the kids will need to take time to get use to the new castle, I think they are going to love it". Miranda said to them as she explains about it.
Roland nod as he agrees about it as there is something that they need to check out. "I know they will love it let go check the bedrooms". Roland said to them as he explains about it.
Miranda nod as she look at them. as everyone check out the various bedroom as Baileywick has a note pad on him to write things down. "Your majesties, I counted every bedroom there is in this castle. Across four floors, There are 20 en-suite master king bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. However two of them does have a connecting bedroom that are on the first floor. Also, there are 50 en-suite jr master bedrooms with an en-suite bathrooms. Also there is a royal sized elevators as well. There is one bedroom on the second floor that has a connection door to another bedroom as well. Both rooms are of the same size and has their own en-suite bathroom". Baileywick said to them as he explains as he wrote things down.
The adults are stunned by this as they are learning about the number of bedrooms. as they went to check out each bedroom, they are in awe with the size of them as it very empty with no furniture or anything of the sore however, in one of the bedroom, there is a note written to Miranda. the letter looked like it was written some time ago that was left in an ancient looking castle.
"Umm Miranda, this is a note to you". Roland the second said to them as he hands it to her.
Miranda look at them as she reads the letter from Gabriella. "It's from Gabriella written on November 16th. It says dear Miranda. My journey to Enchancia is going to be arduous as I am bringing my eldest child to you. I have tried so hard to bring justice to those that needed it over the years, but the evil organization has made sure that has never happened,. I sensed this castle over the years as I made sure that two of them has the connection door for her and her younger twin sister. Even though I am bringing my eldest daughter to the one kingdom that Kimberly still lives in, it is a risk that I will have to take. I am counting on you to make sure that Kimberly stays away from my daughters as the royal restraining orders states until she has proven herself that she earns the redemption by not just by eyes, but by the eyes of you, my daughters god parents AC Garcia Roberts and Emily Wolfe, Baileywick, Roland the first, and the Royal Grand Council of Montreala.
PS: My twins have to be 10 year old and ready to sleep alone
Sincerely
Gabriella Michael Garcia Roberts'.
Miranda finishes reading the letter as she realizes that this room in particular is meant for Madeline and her twin as it has the connection door. Roland agrees as they will need to get going about things. as they gotten go. they locked up the castle as they parted ways from it as that night is going to be an interesting one to say the least.
That afternoon the kids has returned home from school as they see an older gentleman with their parents as he had people from the Grand Magical Council with him.
"Where are they going"? Madeline asks them as she does not know what is happening.
Sofia, Amber, and James look at each other as they see the direction of where the adults are going. "It is going to Cordelia's secret workshop". Sofia said to them as she realizes about things.
Madeline is stunned by this as she had no idea that Cordelia had a secret workshop. "A secret workshop, how long you have known about this"? Madeline asks them as she is wondering about it.
The kids look at Madeline as it is a long story. "It was on the day that Grandmum kicked us and Baileywick out of the lake house in the kingdom of Florena. We were kind of defeated when we saw that strange building". Amber said to them as they went over as they see the adults talking as they are cleaning everything out and doing to do a magical deconstruction spells on the workshop.
Roland and Miranda sighs as they are getting rid of that one thing that deeply gotten them in a huge failure in the inspection. "All this time, we had no idea that Cordelia even had a secret workshop, Fernando". Roland said to the older gentleman as he feels awful about this.
The older gentleman revealed to be Fernando Garcia Roberts look at Roland as the kids has arrived to the scene.. "It is not your fault King Roland the second. You should not be carrying the burdens of a person's hatred of an innocent child. In this case, it is Cordelia's hatred towards Princess Madeline. Plus, Cordelia's file has been placed in the never to be rehired and redeemed pile at my office". Fernando said to Roland as he explains about it.
Roland nod as the kids are stunned to see that Fernando was talking about Cordelia and Princesse Madeline. "Thank you Fernando, that means a lot coming from you". Roland said to Fernando as the kids look at him.
James look at them as he is wondering about it. "Dad, who is this"? James asks Roland as he is curious about it. He looks at Fernando as he can see a much older version of Lorenzo standing in front of him and his sisters.
Fernando look at the kids as he grab out his special badge to show the kids as he got to their eyes level. Roland notices this as it is a diffent approach from what he dose.
"My name is Fernando Garcia Roberts. I am with the Grand Magical Council. I am the head of Magical Internal Affairs. That means oversee the entire unit to make sure that everything done correctly in various internal affairs cases". Fernando said to them as he shows them his official badge.
The kids are stunned by this as they had no idea that he is with the Grand Magical Council. "Garcia Roberts, you wouldn't happen to know Mr. Lorenzo Garcia Roberts would you"? Amber asks Fernando as she is very surprised about it.
Fernando nod as he look at them as this is true. "Lorenzo is one of my sons. I am his father. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintances young royals". Fernando said to them as he explains about it.
Sofia is stunned by this as she dose not realize about it. "How come Mr. Lorenzo does not talk about you with us at school though"? Sofia asks Fernando as she asks him a tough question.
Fernando look at Sofia as he sense things about her as he smile like he is reminded of a dear lady in his life. "Ahh, you seek truth and transparency. Your tough questions does not scare me away that easily. Plus, when you are involved in magical law enforcement, we are the ones that dishes out the tough questions out to get the suspects to talk". Fernando said to Sofia as he has that wit in his tone almost playful in nature.
Sofia smile as she is stunned to see that Fernando deeply understands her like that. "You got that right". Sofia said to Fernando as Madeline sighs as she gives Sofia a look.
Fernando look at Sofia as he will explain about it. "The truth is that Lorenzo does not talk about his personal life and his family with his students. He is very private like that though. He is a family man outside of school and at school, he is a knowledgeable teacher and a reliable coworker to those who needs him regardless of who they are, royalty or not. Plus, he is the kind of man that helps others in need". Fernando said to them as he explains about it.
Madeline nod as she think back to things as she can see how that is about Lorenzo. "So with the destruction of the secret workshop being done today, are we not going to move castles, and we will get to stay here as this is my home for the last three years"? Madeline ask Fernando as she is wondering about it.
Fernando look at Madeline as this question is going to be hard to explain about it. He senses things about her as he slightly as he dose not like the deep displaced anger that is there within her.
"Yes, you and your family will still have to move. Getting rid of the secret workshop is a mere fraction of the huge gravity of the situation on why the castle is not safe for you. Yes the perpetrator, Cordelia Greystone, is behind bars in Irenba is the responsible party of having the secret workshop and using that dangerous potion on you. However, there are other responsible people who are still out there that are responsible for other parts on why the castle failed its inspections. It is about discovering the other people that had knowledge about it and had involvement in it as well. It is unknown at this time if there were people who were used to do it by force and coercions or not. It is also about seeing things from the bigger picture than seeing the small picture that is in front of you". Fernando said to Madeline as he explains things deeper.
Madeline nod as she look at Fernando as she can see where he is coming from. "So basically, it is unknown who is behind the other things that made the castle failed the inspections". Madeline said to Fernando as she is wondering about it.
Fernado nod as he look at Madeline as this is true. the kids nod as they learn more about it. as the group watches the secret workshop getting destroyed with magi, they feel a sense of relief as Fernando uses magic to fill the tunnel that went from it to the that workshop.
That evening the kids take their seats for dinner as it is a huge family dinner as a guy named Prince Conrad and an adult female named Beatrice is also here as well. also Roland the first is over at dinner as well. Madeline frown as not only Fernando is here for dinner so is Roland the First. Even thought Kimberly is here there is another new man in the room name Prince Conrad is also here. Madeline sighs as she is not sure how this dinner will go. However for Fernando, he is very familer with the people sitting at the table with the exception of Adult Beatrice as he sense that there is some magic around her like someone casted a spell on her. He is on guard of Kimberly as he knows what she did back then.
"Prince Conrad, I take it that King Rhineheart of Montreala has sent you to supervise thing on Grand Queen Kimberly", Fernando said to Prince Conrad as he starts the conversation
As the kids notice the young man in his mid 20's as he dose have that handsome facial features that young woman would go for in a man.
Prince Conrad nod as he look at them as the kids are curious about him as Madeline studies him intently and wondering why he has has been supervising Kimberly and Spencer sitting next to her.
"Oh yes, I have seen Spencer keeping up with Kimberly and then some. I honestly don't know how she does it. I can't even keep up with Kimberly and Spencer when they go on their morning runs at 6:00 AM in the morning". Prince Conrad said to them as he reveals about keeping up with Kimberly and Spencer.
Everyone is stunned by this as this is a huge surprise =to them especially Fernando. "Wait, they go on morning runs and she can keep up with Kimberly", Fernando said to Prince Conrad as he looks at the younger woman who is also Kimberly's right hand person.
Prince Conrad nod as there is a lot that need to be told to them. "Volunteering at various places in Enchancia and Florena especially at the Florena Medical Center when Madeline is not in that particular hospital, morning runs and morning yoga at 6:00 AM, bringing food to the shelter from the massive garden at her house, flying horse rides, Spencer made sure that Kimberly's mind is at the task at hand. I even sit in the mandated counseling sessions". Prince Conrad said to them as he explains about it.
Everyone is stunned by this as they had no idea about the things that Kimberly did in these days. "So, Grandmum is a very busy lady even though the royal restraining order is in place then". Sofia said to Prince Conrad as she is wondering about it.
Prince Conrad nod as he look at Sofia as this is true. "Yes, Kimberly is a very busy woman, and Spencer keeps her busy". Prince Conrad said to them as he explains about it.
Fernado nod as he look at Spencer as he is grateful that she keep Kimberly busy each day. "I take it that the mandated counseling sessions has been going well then". Fernando said to them as he is wondering how the mandated counseling sessions are progressing.
Prince Conrad sighs as it is one thing that is not going as well. "Well, there are good sessions and there were bad sessions. There are issues that needs to be addressed and the right people are not here or at unknown locations for them to join us for them". Prince Conrad said to them as he explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as she give a look to Prince Conrad as she is is a bite confused about things. "Why does my grandmum need counseling sessions though? I mean she is the fun grandmum not mom's mother". Madeline said to Prince Conrad as she is wondering about things.
Prince Conrad look at Madeline as he sighs as it is kind of hard to explain. "Well counseling sessions are there to sort out the feelings of an individual when they are dealing with their personal issues that affects their well being. Traumas and issues does not discriminate against people. Just because your grandmum is the fun relative, it does not mean that she is unscathed from the trauma and personal issues that awaits for her. For example, a person that is having a hard time coming to terms about things that happened to them needs to see a type of doctor for that. It is about the human mind and the behaviors of a person, and the study of the human mind is called psychology". Prince Conrad said to the kids as he explains about it.
Madeline nod as she is staring to understand about that even more. "I am starting to understand that now". Madeline said to them as she is wondering about things more.
Prince Conrad nod as he has something that is on his mind as he look at Fernado. "Yes, Fernando, does the name Angeleon mean anything to you"? Prince Conrad asks Fernando as he is wondering about it.
Everyone is stunned as a name has been brought up as Roland the second sighs as he has a feeling that this conversation will star up. Fernando look at them as he know that something to be discussed by adults only. "Yes, I do know him and mean on a personal level as he is or was my son in law. However, the topic at hand is more for a location that has a safe zone room to discuss more about him more freely". Fernando said to them as he senses that there are people that should not be over hearing this.
The kids are stunned by this as Madeline look at Fernado as she is starring to shut down with him. "What do you mean by a safe zone room exactly, Mr. Fernando"? Madeline asks Fernando as she is getting curious about it.
Fernando look at Madeline as it is an easy question to answer to her. "Well, a safe zone room is a special room where heavy topics can be discussed freely between adults without nosy people learning about it. Think of it as a specialty conference room that is kept hidden from other people that only a few select people know about it and its existence. Plus, it is locked up with magic as well". Fernando said to Madeline as he explains it to her a way that she can understand it.
Madeline look at Fernando as she and the other kids are getting it. "So it is a room for adults to deeply talk in". Madeline said to Fernando as she is getting to that shut down point with him.
Fernando nod as he sense that Madeline is shutting down as she is getting disappointed about things. "Yes, it is. Safe zone rooms are great to have in any home including royal castles. However, I sense that you are disappointed about things that is weighing upon your heart". Fernando said to Madeline as he is wondering what is disappointing her.
Madeline look at Fernando as she is stunned as the man can sense this thing as he give here a very calm and compassionate smile towards her. "I am not going to talk to you about it". Madeline said to Fernando as she is being rude towards him.
Sofia frown as she give a look towards Madeline. "Madeline, he is being nice and polite. It is the least that you can do". Sofia said to Madeline as she wants her to stay in the room.
Madeline look at Sofia as she give her a look. "I said I am done Sofia. I am not going to talk to him". Madeline said to Sofia as she leaves the table.
Sofia is stunned by this as she see that Miranda is not going to do anything to stop Madeline once again. she is doing something. she gets out of her seat as she went to stop Madeline. "Madeline, you need to sit down and apologize to him for being rude". Sofia said to Madeline as she wants her to sit back down.
Madeline look at Sofia as she give her a look. "No, I want some alone time". Madeline said to Sofia as she leaves the dining room table.
Sofia is stunned by this as Spencer also get up as she went to talk to Madeline. the younger girl went back to her seat as she waits for Madeline and Spencer to return as she is getting mad about it.
Outside, Madeline sighs as she is out of the dinner room as Spencer spots her. "So, if I didn't know any better, I say that Fernando sense something within you that you were not prepared for". Spencer said to Madeline as she figured it out.
Madeline nod as she look at Spencer as she explains about it to her. "Yeah, he lightly smiled with kindness and compassion. The thing is I do not know anything about this new castle that we are going to move to let alone where it is. I just don't understand why our castle failed the inspection and for us to move. Plus, there is this huge Becky issue that is going on, and the fact that she is missing right now. Plus, we get guests that is in the form of Mr. Fernando, Grandfather the first, and Prince Conrad. Not only that, who does this adult Beatrice thinks she is being a part of Grandfather the first's life when he should be with grandmum". Madeline said to Spencer as she is ranting to her about it.
Soencer look at Madeline as she can sense that within her. "You know for an 8 year old girl. That is a lot for kid to be carrying on their shoulders. Sometimes when a home fails an inspection, it means that there is something wrong with it that is a danger to all people. It could be a structural thing that needs repairs to fix the foundation of the home. It could be removal of harmful things that is bad for our health. It could be a removal from the parent's custody and care because of their bad behaviors and actions towards child. It could be discovering really disturbing things like major problems with employees and having a criminal in plain sight". Spencer said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline look at Spencer as she think about it. "You mean a criminal in plain sight like Cordelia is one that had the secret workshop and created that potion to get me really sick". Madeline said to Spencer as she is wondering about it.
Spencer nod as she look at Madeline as this is true about things. "Yeah, there are very disturbing things that the inspector found that couldn't be ignored. The secret workshop is one of them along with how the employee files were handled". Spencer said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline nod as she is staring to get it now. "Ok, I can see us having to move castles because of those reasons, but where is Becky though? I mean she was in the castle working for three years without my parents even knowing it. Plus, she has to be found to face the consequences for her actions". Madeline said to Spencer as she is wondering about it.
Spencer look at Madeline as she is wondering about her as well. "Ok, let me ask you something Madeline. Did you stop to consider or even think about things even further about Becky? For starters, did you consider if Becky was forced and ordered to mess up things at the castle, where the secret workshop is, how other people saw that Hank was getting very deeply close to figure out that it was Becky that did that, and how they were given orders to caught Becky before Hank could. It is a very likely hood that Becky is because of them. Plus it is the same others that gotten those orders from someone who was not Baileywick, Hank, and your parents". Spencer said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as she look at spencer as she is surprised about it. "Well no, I have not thought about it like that at all. Plus, it is Constable Myles day off though. However, what about the new men coming in my life especially Grandfather the first? What does he see in the adult Beatrice that grandmum does not have? Plus what about Mr. Fernando and Prince Conrad"? Madeline said to Spencer as she talks about it.
Spencer look at Madeline as she nod as she look at her. "Well, I find Prince Conrad to be a bit infuriating as he is supervising Kimberly's every move. He is doing a job given to him by a royal in Montreala. I think our routines has him very off guard. As for Mr. Fernando, I think he is a very kind and level headed man. Plus, he does have that sharp wit and positive demeanor. However, when it comes to Roland the first and adult Beatrice, I don't think there is anything of the romantic variety that is going on. However, you can not assume things that is something going on between them. Did you stop to consider that Roland the first save Adult Beatrice's life? Plus did you stop to consider that there is something about Adult Beatrice that was put on her due to powerful circumstances"? Spencer asks Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as it give her something new to think about. "Well no, I did not think about that at all". Madeline said to Spencer as she is wondering how the two of them met.
Spencer nod as she look at Madeline as she nod in agreement. "Exactly, you can't assume things about a person until you truly learn about what happened. When you assume wrong about them, not only it hurts their feelings, but it does damage their self esteem and self worth". Spencer said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline nod as she look at Spencer as she is staring to see that. "I am starting to get that now Spencer. Plus, you are easy to talk too. We should get back into the dining room before Prince Conrad comes to finds us". Madeline said to Spencer as she is ready to head back in the room. Spencer agrees as they head that way.
Back in the dinner room, Sofia spots Madeline and Spencer returning as they had a deep discussion about things. "Madeline is fine now. She just needed some girl talk". Spencer said to them as she takes her seat next to Kimberly.
Sofia is stunned by this as she glares at them as she disagrees about it. "Girl talk, Madeline needs to apologize to Mr. Fernando for being rude as he is a guest. She needs to face the consequences". Sofia said to them as she point that out.
Adult Beatrice look at Sofia as she is not sure what to say to that. Spencer is stunned as she look at Sofia as she can tell that the girl is mad at Madeline.
"Sofia please, you need to understand that Madeline told me what was on her mind". Spencer said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia is stunned as she give a look towards Spencer. "So that makes it ok for her to get away with being rude towards people who are guest and not for other people who are doing the same thing. You are just as bad as mom and grandmum who enables Madeline's wrong doing. Madeline needs to be punished for a week for being rude towards Mr. Fernando". Sofia said to them as she points that out to them.
Kimberly is stunned by this as she give a look to Sofia. Roland the second give a look to Sofia as he had enough of it. "Sofia, that is enough of the back talk at the table". Roland the second said to Sofia as he gives her that look.
Sofia is stunned by this as she look at Roland the second as she felt betrayed by him. "But dad, Madeline is the bully and the selfish trouble maker in the family, and you are ignoring it just like mom and grandmum are". Sofia said to Roland the second as she reveals that Madeline is being the bully in the family.
Madeline frowns as she glares at Sofia as she grabs the vegetables from her plate as she throw it at her and smear it into her hair. "I am not Sofia". Madeline said to Sofia as she is mad at her.
Roland the second is stunned by this as Miranda sighs as she is wondering what Sofia said is true. "MADELINE, SOFIA, I WANT THE BOTH OF TOU TO GO TO YOUR, ROOMS, YOU ARE BOTH GROUND FOR THREE DAY," Roland the second said to them as he has Baileywick to take them up to their rooms. Madeline is stunned by this as she and Sofia head up to their rooms as the dinner has been spoiled by them. Dinner concluded after that as Fernando did tell Roland and Miranda that the huge talk will need to be postponed for a later date as they both agree about it.
That night, Roland and Miranda are in their room as they sighs as that dinner was a disaster. "Roland, do you think it was the right call to punish the girls for things"? Miranda asks Roland as she is wondering about it.
Roland look at Miranda as he agrees about it. "I think so. I mean yes Madeline was being rude, threw food at Sofia, and left the table without excusing herself. However, Sofia talking back towards us was not right either. She even tried to stop Madeline from leaving the table". Roland the second said to Miranda as he is wondering how to proceed. Miranda agrees about it as she knows that Madeline will argue about it.
The next day at Royal Prep, it is the first full day of not doing anything fun at home right now. the kids are at lunch as they notice the various staff members eating lunch. they notice a young woman wearing a hair scarf and a lunch ladle outfit as she is one of the school staff. the young woman is very vibrant to be around as the students love her despite being a generation younger then the other school lunch ladies.
"I can not imagine being her age and being a lunch lady". Hildegard said to them as the conversation gets started as they are wondering what is the young woman hiding underneath the head scarf.
The kids nod in agreement as they look at each other. "Oh you mean Ms. Jenna, she is actually really nice and sweet. I mean she always finds a way to get every student to smile even when she is having a bad day". Vivian said to them as she explains about it.
The kids nod as they notice Jenna heading towards one of the teacher as it is Mr Lorenzo as it is a huge surprise to see that. "Yeah but why is she heading towards Mr. Lorenzo's table for"? Sofia asks them as she is curious about the two of them.
The kids nod as they get a closer look at things, the expression on Jenna's face is stern like there is an urgency to get to Lorenzo really quickly. "Lorenzo, there is a call for you at the front office. It is Jennifer's school". Jenna said to Lorenzo as she informs him about the call.
Lorenzo frown as he knows that something must be wrong with Jennifer for a call to come to him. "Thanks Jenna, I am on my way over". Lorenzo said to Jenna as he get up from his seat as he leaves the lunchroom in a hurry.
The kids are stunned by the quick conversation between the two of them. "That was very quick conversation". Amber said to them as they see the beloved 5th grade teacher leaves the lunchroom.
James nod as he give them a knowing look. "Umm Amber, Jennifer is Lorenzo's daughter. He would respond to calls from Jennifer's school". James said to Amber as he brings up a good point.
Hugo agrees about it as he knows that something could be wrong. "I am with James on this one. Remember, Jennifer is my god sister. It is possible that she gotten sick at school or a member of the predatory crew getting to her". Hugo said to them as he knows about them.
The kids nod as Madeline is curious about things. "So is this predatory crew like a group of bullies that picks on others like Nathaniel was or something like that"? Madeline asks them as she is wondering more about them.
Hugo look at Madeline as the other kids nod as they need to fill her in. "Bullying is just the top surface of what they do to other kids. They do even more heinous things to other kids. Mandy is the reason why kids especially boys do not walk anywhere alone especially at school". Hugo said to Madeline as he explains about it.
Madeline look at them as she is staring to understand about it. "So what you are saying is that the predatory crew is a kid aged criminals". Madeline said to them as she is wondering about it.
Hugo nod as he look at Madeline as Sofia give her a look. "A kid aged criminal would describe you deeply perfectly like the rest of the predatory crew as you are a kid aged criminal yourself already". Sofia said to Madeline as she is a bit annoyed about it.
The kids look at Sofia as Madeline frowns as she give her a look. "Sofia, please, that was already done with". Madeline said to Sofia as she retorts back to her. The kids in the friend group look at each other as the sibling spat has continued as James and Amber sighs as they are wondering how things are getting back to normal between them.
It was after lunch that the kids went back to class. Madeline briefly went to the library to get a couple of books to read during her grounding time. Ms Brooks looks at Madeline as she hands her a piece of paper that has the addressed of Jenna's house in the kingdom of Enchancia. Madeline is in awe of this as she glad to have the addressed of the lunch lady. by the time, Madeline retunes to class with the the new book in tow, Amber see that Madeline has Jenna's home address on a piece of paper.
'I wonder where she got that address from'. Amber thought to herself as she got the full details of the address from looking at it as she quickly memorized it.
As school ended for the day, the kids are heading back to the Castle as the coachman pick them up. Amber think about a plan to get Madeline busy at the Castle. as she knows that Sofia has Stable duties today as part of her grounding while Madeline has castle duties as part of her grounding. she know that Sofia will keep herself busy while Madeline will need that person to keep her busy. she spotted James as he will be inside of the Castle doing his homework and other kids things..
'I just need to get on Echo while Madeline is still in the castle'. Amber thought to herself as she will need to talk to James about getting his permission.
As the kids gets back to the castle from School, Amber executes her plans as they heading inside as Sofia a changer clothes to stable cloths. she spot Madeline going to her room to get started on her homework. she want to James's room as she look at him. Amber sighs as she is curious about things as she know that her two sisters are busy with things. she spot James doing his homework.
"James, I need to ask you for a favor". Amber said to James as she went to him first.
James look at Amber as he notices that she has changed into her riding clothing's as she has a helmet in her hand. "What kind of favor"? James asks Amber as he knows that this will require some thing from him.
Amber look at James as she is in her riding clothes. "I need you to keep Madeline busy for what I am going to do. I need your permission to ride Echo in the kingdom. Plus I will get mom and dad's permission to go riding on Echo as well". Amber said to James as she asks him a huge favor.
James look at Amber as he agrees as she is not grounded like Sofia and Madeline are. "Ok, plus, I am actually got impressed by how you gotten better with riding a flying horse from Spencer". James said to Amber as he agrees about it as he changes clothes to his riding clothes as he also grabs his helmet like he is going to go to the stables as well.
As the two of them went to Roland and Miranda. Amber ask them to go riding on Echo. Roland and Miranda are stunned by this as Amber normally dose not go riding on a flying horse. however. they do know that she learn from Spencer.
"Did you get permission from James to go riding on his horse"? Miranda asks Amber as she is wondering about it.
Amber nod as she look at them as she got that permission.
James look at them as he did talk about it. "Yeah, I gave her that permission. Plus, I am going to keep Madeline busy to keep her while Amber heads out". James said to them as he explains about it.
Roland nod as Miranda has a couple of questions about it. "Amber, where are you going? Plus how did you get this location of this person"? Miranda asks Amber as she is wondering about it.
Amber nod as she expected the tough question from Miranda as Sofia dose this all the time. "I am going to Jenna's house. There are a couple of questions that I need to ask her. Plus, I saw Madeline having a piece of paper with Jenna's address on it. I do not know how Madeline got it". Amber said to them in a truthful manner as she memorized it without Madeline knowing.
Miranda is stunned to learn that Madeline gotten the addressed to Jenna's house some how. "I will definely ask Madeline about it later. However, you may go and be back by dinner time". Miranda said to Amber as Roland agrees as they want to know how Madeline gotten the address of an adult.
Amber nod as she look at them. "Thank you mom and dad", Amber said to them as they went to the stables. James got Echo out from the stall as the stable hands assist James with the saddle. Sofia noticed this as she went over to them.
"Hey what's going on"? Sofia asks them as she does not know and needs to filled in about it.
Amber nod as she and James need to have her in the plan. "I am going to Jenna's house Sofia. Plus, James will keep Madeline distracted in the castle. If she comes to the stables to go riding while grounding, we will need you to try to stop her and make sure no matter what you tell mom and dad about it". Amber said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia nod as she look at Amber and James as she will do it. "Yes of course, she and I can't even go riding or do anything fun for the next three days. I will make sure that she gets the reality check that she deserves and needs". Sofia said to them as she will make sure of that.
Amber and James nod as they thank Sofia. Amber gets on Echo as James pet him and be good for Amber. Echo nod as they see Amber off. James nod as he return to the castle to keep Madeline busy as Sofia want back to clearing as she know that she will do her best to keep Madeline from leaving the castle to ride on Minimus.
Back in the castle, James spot Madeline as she is clearing up the Music room as she is finished those chores as she went to do her homework. James made sure that his riding helmet is back where it belongs in his room. plus he also quickly get changed from his riding cloths as well. he went to check up on Madeline as she is now in her room. James spot the addressed on her desk as he need to get it to Miranda and Roland to keep it safe.
"Hey Maddie, I know that you may not be able to ride, but we can talk or even have a tea party in the play room. I even had Chef Ander make some cookies and tea". James said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline look at James as she agrees about it as they went to the playroom. she has finished up her homework as she know that the next three days will be hard with being grounding "Sure", Madeline said to James as she is heading out from her room first. James grabs the piece of paper from her notebook that has the address in it.
As Madeline is heading to the playroom and out of earshot and view of James, James spots Baileywick "Hey Baileywick, will you make sure this gets to mom and dad"? James asks Baileywick as it has Jenna's address on it.
Baileywick look at the piece of paper as he has no idea that one of the maids has noticed this as she will tell Madeline about it. "Of course Prince James", Baileywick said to James as he will make sure that it gets to them. James thanks Baileywick as he does not realize that maid named Ashley got the interaction and talked to Madeline about things as she also went down to Chef Ander to get some cookies and milk.
James nod to Baileywick as he went to the playroom as he and Madeline has a tea party in the playroom. as Madeline notices that James is keeping her busy as she is wondering what is going on.
"James, what is going on? You usually had to be bribed with cookies when we want to have a tea party". Madeline asks James as tea, chocolate milk, and cookie are brought to them by Ashley and Violet.
James look at Madeline as he has a poker face expression on his face. "Nothing really, I just want to make your grounding a bit easier. Plus, I am learning to grin and bear it without any kind of bribery, Maddie ". James said to Madeline as he comes up with things.
Madeline nods as it is not long that Ashley comes back in with things. "Princess Madeline, I thought that Princess Amber will join you for the tea party". Ashley said to Madeline as she realizes that the other princess is not in the room.
Madeline nod as it is just James in the room having fun with the tea party. "Yeah, say James where is Amber at"? Madeline asks James as she is wondering about her as she has not seen her since they gotten home from school.
James look at Madeline as the maids leave the room as he finds it strange that Ashley would bring up about one of his sisters with her. "You know how Amber is Maddie. She is probably in the observatory or in the jewel room after she completed her homework". James said to Madeline as she did her homework as well.
Madeline nod as she look at James as she is wondering bout it. as the tea party is over, she and James look for Amber all over the castle. Madeline see that James has been distracting her with other places and keeping her from going outside. she sneaks away from James as she learned from Ashley that Amber went riding on Echo. Madeline went to her room to get into her riding her cloths as she realize that the piece of paper that has Jenna's address is also missing. Madeline realized that James must have take it/ she went down down's stairs as she see Roland in a rush to get to Hank's office.
Madeline look at Roland as he is on the move. "Dad can I go Jenna's house please"? Madeline asks Roland as she hides the fact that she is still grounded.
Roland look at Madeline as he in a rush and hurry. "Just be back by dinner time". Roland said as he did not realize that it is Madeline.
Madeline look at Roland as she got that smirk that she needed. plus she already gotten Miranda's permission as well. "Thanks Dad don't worry I will be back before dinner. I promise as she out of the castle. She makes her way to the stables as she learned from Ashley that Amber went out riding.
As Madeline got to the Stable, Sofia just finished giving Minimus a bath and is brushing up his mane. she notices Madeline heading this way as James is not behind her trying to stop her.
'Oh no, she must have sneaked away from James'. Sofia thought to herself as she makes sure that Minimus is back in his very clean stall. "Madeline what are you doing"? Sofia asks Madeline as she is wondering about it.
Madeline look at Sofia as she realizes that the girl has stable duty today. "Sofia, I am going to find Amber and Jenna's house. Mom and dad said that I could". Madeline said to Sofia as she gives her a look.
Sofia frown as she block Madeline from getting to Minimus stall.. "Not while we are still grounded Madeline. Being grounded means that we are not do anything fun or exciting for the next three days". Sofia said to Madeline as she is making sure that she is not going anywhere near Minimus's stall.
Madeline look at Sofia as she knows that the girl is going to be hard on her. "Sofia please understand. Mom and Dad give me permission to go riding". Madeline said to Sofia as she plays the permission card.
Sofia look at Madeline as she is not going to buy that at all. plus she is wondering who told Madeline where Amber went off too. "Just because you gotten permission, it does not change the fact that you and I are still grounded". Sofia said to Madeline as she is preventing her from getting to Minimus's stall.
Madeline frowns as she give Sofia a look. "You give me no choice Sofia". Madeline said to Sofia as she pushes her very hard into the mud. Sofia lands wrist and face first into the mud as her clothes her ruined. Madeline gets on Mininus and flies away.
Sofia is stunned by this as she see that Madeline is already in the air getting away. "MOM, DAD", Sofia screams out as she is crying to them. She is cradling her wrist as she land on it kind of hard.
Miranda is stunned as she hears Sofia scream and crying. "Sofia, what on earth happened, and are you ok"? Miranda asks Sofia as Roland also spots her as well.
Sofia look at them as she is very dirty as she is cradling her bruised wrist. she sported James as he is remorseful about having Madeline sneaked away from him. "Is Madeline and me still grounded"? Sofia asks Roland as she has tears in her eyes.
Roland look at Sofia as he see that she landed in the mud. "Yes, Sofia, what happened"? Roland asks Sofia.
Sofia look at them as she need to explain about it. "Madeline said that she gotten permission to ride Minimus while she and I are still grounded. I tried to keep her from leaving and then she pushed me into the mud really hard". Sofia said to them as she is upset about it.
James look at Sofia as he realizes that Madeline found out that Amber went off riding. "I am sorry Sof. I kept her busy as long as I could. I kept her busy by doing a tea party, but closer to the end, Madeline asked where Amber was and I had told her where Amber would normally be at. I had to keep her away from the stables for as long as I could. However Madeline sneaked away from me"". James said to Sofia as he apologizes about it.
Sofia is stunned by this as she give James a look. "You mean that kid aged criminal Madeline sneaked off on her own like this". Sofia said to them as she calls Madeline a kid aged criminal.
Miranda is stunned by this as she see the anger and hurt in Sofia's eyes. "Sofia please, go get cleaned up". Miranda said to Sofia as she knows that there is a lot of to discuss about it.
Sofia nod as she went up to get changed and cleaned up. Roland sighs as he look at them as James and Baileywick are with them as he get a call from Lorenzo. "Lorenzo, what is going on"? Roland asks Lorenzo as he has no idea that things are going to get worse.
Lorenzo give Roland a look as they need to handle things. "King Roland the second, I got a call from Jenna that your daughters has uninvited themselves into her home even after she said no to them. She is trying to stop the both of them to get Becky out of her house when I am 5 minutes away from Jenna's house to take her to the hospital". Lorenzo said to them as he explains the situation.
Roland is stunned by this as he learns that Becky is at Jenna's house. "What, Becky, Hank told me that Becky has been missing since the failed inspection. Hank even told me that the constable deputy never took him seriously". Roland said to Lorenzo as he has some good news for him.
Lorenzo look at Roland as he give him a look as he needs to be filled in. "Yeah, I am heading to Jenna's to immediately pick them up and take them to the St. Mary's Sanuatary hospital. My dad will be staying with your horses until you bring your stable hands to take them back to your stables". Lorenzo said to them as he explains about it.
Roland is stunned by this as he learns about it. "Yes of course, make sure that Amber and Madeline are picked up with you and take with you to the hospital. We will meet you there". Roland said to Lorenzo as there is a lot that needs to be talked about as the call ends.
Miranda is stunned by this as she look at Roland as she is wondering what happening. "Roland, what is going on"? Miranda asks Roland
Roland look at Miranda as this is a huge shock to him and for Hank. "Apparently Becky has been found at Jenna's house and the girls uninvited themselves into her home even after Jenna said no". Roland said to Miranda as he explains about it.
Miranda is stunned by this as she is deeply confused about all of this. "What and whose idea was this"? Miranda asks them as she is wondering about it.
Roland look at Miranda as he is not sure about this as he look at the kids as Sofia has returned with clean clothes on as she is still cradling her wrist as she is deeply angry and in pain from the fall.
"I am going to find out Miranda". Roland said to Miranda as he looks at them. "Baileywick, I need you to go get the cloud coaster and a carriage. Hank is going to ride with us in the cloud coaster while the stable hands ride in a carriage to the Jenna's house to bring Echo and Minimus back to the stables. Also, Baileywick, I want you to pack a bag as well. Kids and Miranda, go get your school bags and pack a bag for a week". Roland said to them as they need to get their things together for a week.
Everyone nod as they went to do the tasks at hand. with Sofia, she garb her bag with her right hand as she winces in pain as she see that it there is a lot of swelling. she frowns as she know that she will need to get it check out. she grab some other clothes to pack with one hand as she is too angry and in pain to talk right now. as she grab her school bag with her injured wrist again, she winces in more pain as she get it on her shoulders. she grab her going away bag with her left hand as she is ready to head down to the others. about 30 minutes later, everyone get in the cloud coaster and carriage as they head out to the location of Jenna's house first to get the horse.
At Jenna's house, Roland spots Fernando as he is comforting the horses as the kids check on them "Fernando, what happened when Lorenzo gotten here"? Roland asks Fernando as he is wondering about it.
Fernando look at Roland as Miranda is wondering the same thing as she notices that Sofia's facial expressions went from Concern about Minimus to fury as she notice that there is disorder in Jenna's house. "There was a lot of arguing coming from inside of the house. Jenna was really not happy with the girls in particular with Madeline. By the time Lorenzo and Jennifer got in there, they quiet things down and carried Becky out of there with Amber, Madeline, and Jenna in tow. Madeline looked too proud of herself for what she did while Amber was really disappointed about things, and Jenna she was deeply devastated that her peaceful home was invaded like a bunch of criminals". Fernando said to Roland as he explains about it.
Sofia look at them as she is angry for Jenna as she see broken and disheveled things all over the floor in the entire single floor home from the window.
"It is just like Madeline to breaking things that does not belong to her and making a huge mess at places like she always does". Sofia said to them as she knows that she did it.
Miranda is stunned by this as she frowns by Sofia's statement as she notice that Sofia is cradling her right hand and wrist. "We will make sure that we get to the bottom of it Fernando. Plus, we are heading to the hospital". Roland said to Fernando as the stable hand got Minimus and Echo as Sofia pets him as she will see him soon. Fernando nods as he gets in the cloud coaster with the family as they head to the hospital in the kingdom of Amora.
It is around 6 :10 pm that the Royal family of Enchancia arrived at the hospital as Madeline is in awe to see them as she notice Sofia who is cradling her wrist as the nurse spot Sofia as she quick get a wheelchair for her. "Are you here to get your daughter checked out your majesty"? A nurse asks Miranda as she is referring to Sofia.
Miranda nod as she look at them as she found out in the cloud coaster that Sofia is in pain. "Yes, we are". Miranda said to the nurse as Sofia sits in the wheelchair as the girl glares at Madeline.
The nurse sighs as she look at them as she know the hospital policy. "Please have a seat to fill out these forms". The nurse said to them as they wheel Sofia back to an examination room. "Also, King Roland, will you take Madeline to the observation room please, Kimberly is on her way here". The nurse said to them as she explain about it.
Madeline nod as she is getting excited about things as she gets to see Kimberly. "Grandmum is coming yay", Madeline said to them as the other kids gives her a look about things.
James look at Madeline as he rolls his eyes as he knows that things will be tense. "You know if we were at the Florena hospital, you would not be able to see Grandmum at all". James said to Madeline as he makes that remark about things.
Madeline is stunned by this as she give a look to James as she is getting mad and annoyed. "Hey, don't blame me because of those regulations and rules are breaking my bond with grandmum. It is all this Esmeralda's fault". Madeline said to James as she gives him a look.
Fernando frowns as he sense that Madeline dose not know the full truth about what happend back then. "That's enough Madeline", Roland said to Madeline as a nurse escorts them to the observation room.
A few minutes later, Prince Conrad and Kimberly arrives as the nurse from before look at them, Kimberly has the medical fille and information on Spencer along with her Special Patients Unit I d card and visitor pass. "Kimberly, Madeline is in the observation area with her dad". The nurse said to Kimberly as she explains to her.
Kimberly thanks the nurse as she leads her and Prince Conrad to the Observation room. Madeline is in awe by this as Roland is present for this. "Grandmum, I can't believe it. You are finally here. Oh why is Prince Conrad with you"? Madeline asks them as she slightly pouts about it.
Kimberly sighs as she look at Prince Conrad is observing things Prince Conrad look at Madeline and King Roland as he will explain about it. "Lorenzo called me as he found Spencer and unidentified boy unconscious in Enchancia and he going to take them to this hospital. He even investigated into Spencer's background and past, and she is clean as a whistle despite the very checkered parents that raised her and the horrors that she went through by certain adults. Spencer reminds him of Jennifer's biological maternal aunt as she was raised by awful people as she is struggling to get out of her parent's home and care as Spencer is mostly free from her own mother. Lorenzo knew if he took Spencer to the Florena Hospital, you will not be able to see Kimberly as the hospital regulations are stricter with visitors with high restrictions to a patient in the hospital and especially in the Special Patients Unit. Even though the Amora Hospital has laxer rules on this as non violent individuals like Kimberly is allowed under strict supervision while those with violent criminal backgrounds are not permitted to enter this hospital at all. It deeply depends on the actions of the individual that gives them the violent or non violent classification". Prince Conrad said to them as he explains about it.
King Roland nod as he can understand Lorenzo's reasoning behind it as Madeline is stunned and a bit confused about it. "So it depend on what a person has done then". Madeline said to them as she looks at them.
Prince Conrad nod as he look at Madeline as it is truth. "Yes violent individuals are people who has used physical, non magical items, or magical items means against another person that caused great bodily harm to them. Cordelia Greystone is a person that used violence to harm other people. Therefore, she is a violent person that would not be able to get into the Amora hospital to see a patient at all. While non violent offenders like Kimberly did bad things other people but not harming them with any kind of mean". Prince Conrad said to Madeline as he explains things to her.
Madeline nod as she look at Kimberly as she smile to her, as Kimbley nod as she look at Madeline and Roland as she will explain about it from her end. "Of course I am here dear. If Spencer gets admitted into the hospital like now, I am actually Spencer's medical proxy. Which means the doctors will need my permission to do special medical procedures and care on Spencer. Not only that I am Spencer's emergency contact. When I learned that Lorenzo contacted him and Prince Conrad came to my home to pick me up, I knew that something was wrong". Kimberly said to Madeline as she explains about Spencer.
Madeline is stunned as Roland is suprpised to learn that Kimberly is a medical proxy to Spencer. "Really, but I just want to see you freely without Prince Conrad here". Madeline said to Kimberly as she pouts about it.
Kimberly look at Madeline as she need to explain that part. "I know that you do dear, and so do I. However the reasons why the restrictions are placed on me has nothing to do with my health or Spencer entirely". Kimberly said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as this is new to her it is what Dr. Elizabeth has told her about it. "It is not, but Dr. Elizabeth said that you have health problem with your memory and remembering things. Dad felt that is best for us kids to not see you anymore until you get a special cognitive function test conducted by Dr. Elizabeth". Madeline said to Kimberly as she explains about it.
Kimberly look at Madeline as she i furious about this as she give a look to Roland as this is not truth. "I do not have a memory problems at all dear. Absolutely not dear, I do not trust or take word of a doctor who is a deep follower of Dr. Elizabeth or deeply influenced by Dr. Elizabeth as they are known to use unethical medical practices and procedures on patients when they don't need it or does not have to control the narrative of the patient. They use medical knowledge and logic to manipulate the patient and their parents to get them to do the unnecessary work on them. Plus, Dr. Elizabeth is not even my doctor at all, so she would not have access to my medical information. All of that is with my doctor in the kingdom of Florena. The reasons why the restrictions were in place because of my bad actions and I had to face accountability and responsibility for those choices. I was deeply in the wrong for my behavior back then. As a result, they put in those boundaries and restrictions. However three years ago, I gotten word that the restrictions went away. I thought I can finally be around you and your twin. However when I came to visit you, I got the shock of my life that the letter that I gotten three years ago was a complete fake. So obviously, someone wanted to get me in trouble to make other people mad at me. So naturally l, I have been going to mandated counseling and therapy sessions. Plus Spencer has been keeping me in check and Prince Conrad watching my every move. There are very adult things that I need to face in order to get things lifted. Until then, our time will have to be restricted and limited, it is not your siblings and Baileywick's fault. It is not the ones who made the restrictions in the first place fault. The fault is all mine and the person who sent the fake letter about then restrictions going away". Kimberly said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as she realizes that Dr. Elizabeth lied to her about it. "Then that would mean that Dr. Elizabeth lied to me. However, there is one thing that I don't understand Grandmum. Why did you want off on Baileywick off if they are not at fault"? Madeline asks Kimberly as she is wondering about it.
Kimberly look at them as she sight as she will need to explain about it. "I was just so frustrated with the fact the restraining orders were still in place all this time. I gotten so fooled and deceived when I learned that the letter was fake that I lost sight of what Baileywick said was true about that night at the 16th birthday party. The truth is that I finally understand how Roland the first felt when he learned that he was deceived by the word of that woman from Royal Prep when she deeply lied to him about Miranda, Sofia, and you". Kimberly said to Madeline as she admits that she knows how Roland the first feels about it.
Madeline is stunned as she realizes that things are staring to make sense to say the least. "You mean Miss Renee the one that work in the filling office of Royal Prep. She is the one that lied to Grandfather the first". Madeline said to Kimberly as she is wondering how she fits in to things.
Kimberly nod as she look at Madeline as Roland think about things as he is getting the feeling there is more pieces that has fit into the mysterious puzzle to the things that happend back then. "Yes the one and the same", Kimberly said to Madeline as a nurse comes in.
"Excuse me Kimberly, King Roland, the doctors are ready to see the both of you along with Hank and Queen Miranda", A nurse said to them as she explains about it.
Roland nod as he look at the nurse as he turn to Prince Conrad. "Prince Conrad, will you take Madeline back to the waiting room with the others"? Roland asks Prince Conrad as he is wondering about it. Prince Conrad nods as he looks at them as they leave the observation room.
Jenna look at the kids as Jennifier come out in a wheel chair as she has eyes patch's on both of her eyes like she was punch at and a busted lip that got stitched up. "Woah Jennifer, what happened to you"? James asks Jennifer as he is shocked to find out that his pen pal is hurt today.
Jennifer look at them as she can not see as she hears James's voice "Mandy happened James". Jennifer said to them as she explains about it.
The kids are stunned as Madeline has not heard about this girl much. "You mean the girl that followed Sofia around like a lost puppy during the Pen Pal exchange week"? Madeline asks Jennifer as she is wondering about it.
Jennifer nod as she hears Madeline's voice as she sense that she is standing next to Amber with her magic. "Yeah the one and the same, she cornered me today and demanded that I hand her my magical deactivation device over to her. When I refused, she gotten really mad and she beaten me up in the middle of the school day. I was alone in the girl's bathroom when it happened. One of the teachers came in and stopped Mandy and I was rushed to the nurse's office. The nurse called my dad at Royal Prep and he sent Grandpa to pick me up to take me home. Dad called up my doctor to have me checked out. Plus since I have two black eyes, I will be missing school for the rest of the week". Jennifer said to them as she explains about it.
The kids are stunned as they can see that Jennifer can't see very well right now. "So when Jenna came in the lunch room to talk to Mr. Lorenzo about the call, it was about you injured at school". Amber said to Jennifer as things are starting to make sense.
Jennifer nod as she sense that it is Amber that said that to her. "Yeah pretty much", Jennifer said to them as she explains about it.
Jenna nod as she give them a look as things are explains about things. "Girls, now answer my question about how you gotten my home address"? Jenna asks them as she wants to know about it.
Madeline nod as she look at Jenna as she roll her eyes about it. "Jenna, what is the big deal? You are making things more than it should be"? Madeline asks Jenna as James is wondering about it as well.
Jenna look at them as she is stunned by this. "Excuse me, the big deal is that my home address is a part of my personal information. I don't give it out like it is candy or a present to someone. Also, the both of you are uninvited guests. I was going to explain how I know Lorenzo and Rosa to Amber, but you never let me do that Princess Madeline. Also, there are approve need to know people that are allowed to know my address and people who are not in the need to know and on the never allowed in my house like you now added to that list". Jenna said to Madeline as she makes it known that Madeline is on the not allowed list.
Madeline is stunned by this as she give Jenna a look about it. "What I am on that not allowed list. Plus, is Ms Brook on the need to know list too Jenna"? Madeline asks them as she thinks that Ms. Brooks is on that list.
Jenna give a look to Madeline as Lorenzo, Fernando, and Jennifer give Madeline a harsh glare to her as well like they are beyond mad that she said a bad name.
"Absolutely not, why on the heavens green Ever Realm would I allow that monster of a woman who has harm my god daughter, Jennifer be in my need to know list". Jenna said to Madeline as she gives her a look.
The kids are stunned by this as they learn that Jenna is Jennifer godmother. "You are Jennifer's godmother. So that would mean you are familiar with Ms. Brooks". Amber said to Jenna as she is surprised by it.
Jenna nod as she look at Amber as this is true. "Yes I am familiar about Ms. Shelia Brooks. That woman has no business being around kids, being an educator, let alone being near a school. Let me ask you something, if a violent person has been convicted of crimes against children and done horrible things to children, would they be allowed near children in any kind of capacity"? Jenna asks them as she wants them to think with common sense.
The kids look at them as it is painfully obvious about things "No they wouldn't be", James said to them as he realizes that there is a much darker side to the evil teacher at Royal Prep.
Jenna nod as she give a look to the kids. "Exactly, Ms. Shelia Brooks is your generation of Madeline Beatrice Griswald of bad and evil teachers". Jenna said to them as she gives them a huge hint about another evil teacher from back in the day.
The kids are stunned by this as they are wondering who Madeline Beatrice Griswald is as it is not long that the doctors return with the adults as James Sofia that is not with them. "Mom, what is taking Sofia so long to come back out"? James ask Miranda as he is wondering about it.
Miranda look at them as she will need to them. "Kids, Sofia will be staying over night for observation as the doctors will do some tests on her wrist in the morning. When we gotten here, it was after 6:00 PM, and it is hospital policy to have patients who arrive at this time to be admitted for observation. She will not be going to school tomorrow and possibly for the rest of the week. It depends on what the doctor says". Miranda said to the kids as she explain about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as Amber is shocked by this as she realize that Something must have happend while James was supposed to keep Madeline distracted and away from the stable. "But mom, don't you see that Sofia is trying to get out of being grounded early by hurting herself". Madeline said to them as she wants them to see that.
Miranda is stunned by this as Roland give Madeline a look. "Madeline, we will talk about what happened today when we are at my dad's house this week". Roland said to Madeline as the kids are in awe to learn that they will be at Roland the first's house.
Madeline is stunned even further as she is being extra pouts as it gose deeply noticed by Lorenzo and the others. "What Sofia get to rest while we head to school that is not fair". Madeline said to them as she pouts about it.
A doctor named Dr Scarlet look at Madeline as she is stunned by the poutiness coming from her. "Madeline, would a parent send a kid to school if they are really hurt or even sick with a fever? Plus if you are in the hospital your siblings had to be at school as well am I right"? Dr. Scarlet asks Madeline as she wants her to think about it.
Madeline look at Dr Scarlet as she sighs as she look at them. "Yeah my siblings would be at school while I was in the hospital, and no a parent would not send an injured or sick kid to school". Madeline said to them as she is being kind of pouty about it.
Dr. Scarlet nod as she look at Madeline as she see that the girl understand. "Exactly, there are injures like sprains, broken bones, black eyes, and other serious injures do have a stay at home order for the patient while relatively minor things like scraped knees and other things is a simple nurse's office and back at school the next day". Dr. Scarlet said to Madeline as she explains about it.
Madeline sighs as she is getting it more as Miranda is staying at the hospital with Sofia and the unidentified boy while Hank is staying with Becky. Hank look at Jenna as has a hopeful smile on his face. "Jenna, I presume". Hank said to Jenna as he needs to talk to her.
Jenna look at Hank as she is wondering what he need from her. "Yes, may I help you"? Jenna asks Hank as she is wondering about it.
Hank look at Jenna as he smile to her as he need to talk to her about Becky. "May I talk to you in private please"? Hank asks Jenna a he is please with things. Jenna nods as she looks at Hank. "Yes of course", Jenna said to Hank as they went to a private area to talk.
Madeline is stunned by this as Jenna and Hank went to a private are to chat about things. "Huh, why does Jenna gets to have a private discussion with him. He should have been thanking me for finding Becky". Madeline said to them as she is getting even more pouty abut things.
Amber frowns as she give a look to Madeline as she had heard enough. "Excuse me, how did you know that Becky was at Jenna's house in the first place. The only reason why I went over to Jenna's house to ask her about how she knows Lorenzo and if she knows about him dating our auntie Rosa, and I didn't even know that Becky was there. It was supposed to be an easy question mission for me, but you turned it into a mass chaos at her house". Amber said to them as she glares back at Madeline
Madeline is stunned by this as she look at Amber as Roland and Miranda are stunned by this as they do need to get going soon. "Amber you were supposed to help me with our stories to get straight". Madeline said to Amber as she gives her a look.
Roland look at them as he give them a look "That is enough girls. I will get to the bottom of things". Roland said to them as he will need to double check things.
About 20 minutes later, Jenna came out as she is ready to go. the familes parted ways as Lorenzo, Fernando, and Jennifer went back to Novanima while Baileywick the kids Jenna, and Roland the second want to Enchancia to stay at Roland the First's house.
At Roland the First house, Roland the First see Roland the second, the kids, Baileywick, and Jenna arrives as he learns that there is an additional person here. "Ah welcome please come in", Roland the first said to them as dinner is ready for them as he even got the bedrooms arranged especially one of them for Sofia on the first floor with a special mattress on it as it has been made.
Roland the second nod as he thanks his dad as it is dinner time already as the kids get settled upstairs as Madeline is sharing a room with Amber. she pouts even more as she learns that Sofia will be on the first floor when she get out of the hospital. as dinner gose mostly uneventful, Roland is curious about the house as it is in good condition. after dinner, Roland the second is in the living room as he, Amber, and Jenna are sitting in the living room talking.
"Jenna, what happened just before my daughters came to your home unannounced"? Roland the second asks Jenna as he is wondering about it.
Jenna nod as she look at at them as she will explain about it. "Well, I was preparing things to be turned over for evidence at the hospital for the medical investigation to look into Becky's injuries. I packed them in my bag. Becky was in my spare bedroom resting and relaxing before Lorenzo came to pick us up to head to the hospital. That is when I gotten my first unexpected visitor being Amber. She asked me about knowing Lorenzo and if I knew if Lorenzo was dating Rosa. I explained to her that not know that I do know both of them, I was the one that introduced Rosa to Lorenzo. I had Amber stay outside of my home because I did not want to have her come in as I was busy preparing to go and things like that. I was about to grab a picture when I received my second visitor being Princess Madeline. After that, things gotten very chaotic. Madeline came in and demanding that she came in to find Becky. . Amber looked like she has no knowledge about it. I told her no, and I wanted her to leave. Madeline refused and Amber came in after Madeline. After that, it was chaos and drama as Madeline searched everywhere in my home and threw my things all over the place. She even pulled my head scarf off and revealed my rainbow colored dread lock hair. I honestly never felt more disrespected in my own home. When Madeline did find Becky, she demanded that Becky gets out of bed and going moving. I told Madeline to stop. Amber told her to stop. Madeline refused to listen. Becky was in pain, scared, and frightened. She was even more scared of Amber than of Madeline. Amber never laid a hand on Becky. That was all Madeline. When Lorenzo arrived, he was not happy as he got the girls to stop and listen. He carried Becky to the SS Alejandro. His dad stayed with the horses and Jennifer was in the SS Alejandro with two other people in the medical area of the ship. They found them before picking us up". Jenna said to Roland as she explains about it.
Roland is stunned by this as he look at Jenna as he look at Amber as he wants to hear from her her. Amber look at Roland as she will explain things from her side of the story. "Yes dad, it all started at school when I saw Madeline holding the piece of paper with the address on it. I didn't ask Madeline on how she gotten it but I quickly memorized it. I knew that Madeline was still grounded and knew that Sofia was doing stable work today as a part of her grounding. I knew that Sofia will put up an argument with Madeline about it and block her from riding Mininus. Plus I learned how to ride a horse from Spencer. I gotten permission from James to ride Echo. I asked you and mom to ride over to Jenna's house. James and I went to the stables to head out. Sofia asked about it, and I explained to her about it. She nodded and understand. I told her if Madeline came to the stables and gotten away from James to block her from riding as she was still grounded like Sofia. Sofia understood the assignment. As I head out on Echo, I had a couple of questions about how she knew Lorenzo and wondered if she knew that he was dating mom's sister or not. I honestly didn't know if Becky was at her house at the time or not at the time". Amber said to Roland as she explains about it.
Roland the second look at Amber as he can tell that she is telling the truth. "Go on Amber", Roland the second said to Amber as he wants to know more.
Amber look at Roland as she explain more about what happend. "When I got there, I went to the front door and knocked on the door. Jenna came outside. She was surprised to see me like she never gotten any kind of visitors to her small hole. I asked if I could come in. She said no and asked me how I knew where her house is. I told her that I saw it on a piece of paper that Madeline had on her. She was shocked like she gotten a punch to the stomach. She explained that a student should not be able to have that kind of information on a staff member. I asked her if I could come inside. She said no as she was expecting someone to come over soon, and she told me that we will talk outside. She was being very protective of her home. I relented and asked her my two questions about knowing Lorenzo and know if he was dating someone in auntie Rosa. She was shocked by my questions. She explained to me that she does know the both of them as she was the one that introduced Rosa to Lorenzo. She had me wait outside to get a picture. While I was waiting, that is when Madeline showed up. Madeline told me off for going to Jenna's house without her. I tried to stop her from knocking on the door. However Madeline knocked on the door and got by me. When Jenna opens the door, Madeline demanded to come in. Jenna said no. Madeline just walked right in and asked Jenna about Becky being here. I honestly didn't know that Madeline found out that Becky is even there. Jenna was mad that Madeline walked in the home like that, and she demanded Madeline and me to leave. I was shocked as Jenna was going to show me something that proved that she knows Lorenzo and Rosa. However Madeline never gave her and me that chance. It was all about searching Jenna's house for Becky. Jenna and I tried to get Madeline out of the house. Plus she even made a call to Lorenzo to get here faster. However Madeline was the one that found a Becky in a spare bedroom, and Becky was in really rough shape and condition. Becky was very scared, terrified and in a lot of pain. Madeline was pulling on Becky to get out of bed like she though at a Becky was faking it or something. I knew that Becky needed to be carried out by an adult, and I never even touched Becky at all. When Jenna saw that Madeline was trying to drag out Becky. She was beyond furious with Madeline and ordered Madeline and me to sit in the living room while she got Becky back into bed. It was then that Lorenzo arrived as he had a medical stretcher already outside. He looked like he was a man who knew what he was doing, and he was beyond angry at me and Madeline. He carried Becky out of there and he told Madeline and me that he will take us to the hospital where we will meet up with our family in the SS Alejandro. Madeline and I walked out of the house and Jenna locked up the house as we saw that Fernando stayed with the horses until our stable people came. Madeline and I gotten in the SS Alejandro and Lorenzo made sure that Becky was buckled in first in the med area of the ship. Madeline wanted to help but Lorenzo said no as the two cats Ace and Ginger will be assisted him as Spencer and some other boy was in the med area like they were picked up before we were. Jennifer sit with Madeline and me and Lorenzo took us straight to the hospital. Jenna was very quiet and furious with Madeline and me. She was holding a broken picture frame that had a picture of her with mom's family. Madeline was angry that Jenna knows mom's family being unfair because it had mom's extended family and anything about mom is her territory. I told her that I was going to learn about it before she even shown up and ruined everything. Jennifer put the stop to a new argument. When we got to the hospital, Lorenzo and Jenna explained to the doctors about Becky, Spencer, and the boy, and they took them back for examinations and treatment. About an hour later, all of you shown up and you know the rest". Amber said to Roland as she is starting to cry as well.
Roland the second look at Amber as he thanks her for telling him the truth. "Thank you Amber and what is wrong"? Roland asks Amber as she is wondering about it.
Amber look at Roland as she nod as she has tears in her eyes. "Dad, how much trouble will I be in for what happened today? I know that I did a bad thing but Madeline was the one that escalated things. I don't want it to be swept underneath the rug like it happens all the time when Sofia tells the truth about what Madeline did". Amber said to Roland as she is starting to cry.
Roland the Second look at Amber as he nod as there is a lot to consider about things. "Well, I do know that you and Madeline will need to formally apologize to Jenna and help clean up her place. However, since you were not the one that escalated things and told me the truth, I can see you being grounded for several days. I do love you Amber". Roland the second said to Amber as he explains about it.
Amber nod as the two of them hugs it out as she wipe her tears. "Ok dad", Amber said to Roland as she is wondering about it.
Roland the second nod as he look at Amber as he dose need to talk to James. "Amber, will you bring down James please", Roland the second said to Amber as he needs to talk to him next. Amber agrees as she went to get James.
It is not long that James take a seat with Roland the second and Jenna. "Dad, what is going on"? James asks Roland as he is wondering about it.
Roland the second look at James as he plan to tell him about it. "I have heard from Amber about what happened at a Jenna's house. I want to know what happened prior to Amber leaving up until Sofia screamed for your mom and me. I will double check this James, and I expect the truth". Roland said to James as he wants to know the truth.
James look at Roland as he will need to tell him about it. "Well, I was in my room trying to do it homework when Amber came to me wearing her riding clothes. She asked me if she can ride on Echo and explained to me that she wanted to go to Jenna's house. She even told me that I needed to distract Madeline while in the castle. I agreed and gave her that permission. I changed clothes into riding gear to head down to the stables. I was with Amber when we gotten the permission and we went to the stables. We filled in Sofia about the situation and she was in board to stop Madeline from going anywhere while grounded. We saw Amber off and I went back to the castle while Sofia was at the stables. I quickly changed out of the riding clothes and back into regular clothes and made sure that my riding clothes were put away out of Madeline sight to make sure that she didn't see that I was at the stables without her. I went over to Madeline's room and asked her if she wants to do a tea party since she couldn't go riding. She agreed and she left the room first and I grabbed the address from her desk and handed it to Baileywick. After that, we had the tea party and then one of the maid asked Madeline about Amber. That's when Madeline asked me about Amber and where she was. I knew that I had to keep her away from the stables. So we started at various places that Amber would normally go to around the castle. At some point, Madeline must have caught on with the fact that I am keeping her out from going outside and sneaked away from me. I was about to head to the stables when I heard Sofia's screams and I saw you and mom heading out. When I got there, Sofia was cradling her wrist and she was covered in mud. Madeline left on Mininus and on her way to Amber at Jenna's house. It was like it was like Madeline didn't want to be left out from anything that us older kids were doing. We all tried to block Madeline from going anywhere, but in the end Madeline was able to successfully leave the castle while grounding. At the same time, Sofia was the one that did not do anything fun while being grounded as it should be, and yet Madeline gets to do other things that she should not be doing". James said to Roland as he explains about it.
Roland the second is stunned by this as he learns about this as he face palms himself. "Madeline is acting out more". Roland the second said to James as he has a real problem on his hands.
James nod as he look at Roland as he really let him have it. "Yeah, I have to be honest with you dad. I do not know how much more Sofia can take it. It is like the constant pressure of Madeline being able to do things without consequences, making sure that Madeline is happy, having her and Madeline share a bedroom, having her and Madeline share a flying horse, making sure that Madeline has some sort of spot light in various events even when it is not about her. It is like Sofia has always gotten the brunt end to Madeline's bad behavior and things like that and reaching to that breaking point. Plus ever since Madeline became a princess with Sofia as a princess and mom being the queen, Sofia still got the brunt end of things while Amber and I not as much. It is like Sofia is not allowed to have anything of her own on the bigger scale because Madeline is the younger sister and has to wait until Madeline gets to be ten while Sofia is being held back to the point of never being able to do things. Does mom secretly hate Sofia for some reason or something"? James asks Roland as he is about to cry.
Roland the second is stunned by this question as it is first Amber and now James that is crying and upset. "What, no, why do you ask a question like that for James"? Roland the second asks James as he has that fear of one of his kids running away from home
James look at Roland as he is a bit dismayed by his answer. "Well mom has a funny way of showing that. If mom doesn't hate Sofia then why does she treat and love Madeline more than Sofia? I mean I have seen Sofia asking mom if she can do a special event or gotten invited to a party for one of our classmates from school. However when it got closer time to things, mom always pulled the plug on it because Madeline was not invited to the party like Sofia was and Madeline got her way in things. I have always seen Sofia gotten really disappointed. It is like when mom looks at Sofia, she is reminded of someone who kind of have Sofia's facial features and resemblances and she is reminded of that this person did to her, Sofia, and Madeline. It is like Sofia is the odd one out and doesn't belong, and Madeline is pushing Sofia out of the family and eventually she will make sure that Amber and I are pushed out too. The other night after that disaster of a dinner, I heard Sofia crying herself to sleep. I went into her room to comfort her as no one else did. When Madeline came in, she looked all smug and proud that she got Sofia in trouble when she also gotten in trouble as well". James said to Roland as he explains about it.
Roland the second is stunned by this as he need to have a serious conversation with Miranda about this when the kids are away at school or even in a different room.
"James, I won't let that happen. I will be having a sit down conversation with your mom". Roland the second said to James as he is wondering how to get through to Miranda.
James look at Roland as he give him a look. "Then do something dad, Sofia shouldn't have to pay for Madeline's behavior and actions. It is like when Sofia does the right the right thing, it is wrong to mom's eyes, but when Madeline does the wrong thing, it gets acceptable and right to do. It is like we older kids have seen her do bad things that is on the level of the predatory crew that goes to the Magma Institute and they are really the bad and evil kids. Plus, Madeline is bound to throw one of us underneath the carriage to benefit her. She does not care about anyone other than herself. Madeline always does that to Sofia, tried to do that Amber, and I will be next in things. I even saw Madeline getting too interested in the music room that Grandfather the first has. I do not know what he has in there, but you need to put a stop to things before we get kicked out from here like how Grandmum did to us and Baileywick. I wanted to give you the heads up just in case you are not here when it happens ". James said to Roland as he explains about it.
Roland is stunned by this as he learns about a potential target about things. "Thanks James", Roland said to James as the two hug things out.
A little bite after that, the kids are getting ready for bed and finishing homework. "Dad, I need to ask you something about the music room". Roland the second said to Roland the first as they sit down to talk.
Roland the first look at Roland the second as he thinks it is about another issues. "Yes of course son, is something wrong"? Roland the first asks Roland the second as he has no idea that the conversation is about to get deep.
Roland the second look at Roland the first as he sighs as this is bad. "Dad, what do you have in the music room"? Roland the second asks Roland the first as he is wondering about it.
Roland the first look at Roland the second as he is stunned by the question.. "I am keeping a very special amulet called the Amulet of Lady Thalia safe. It was entrusted to me by Teresa Louise Montana 12 years ago. It is locked up safely with powerful magic, and I have magical security orbs in that room and it alerts me if someone tries to break into it". Roland the first said to Roland the second as explains about it.
Roland the second is stunned by this as he learns that his dad was keeping an Amulet safe for a very long time. "That is a very long time, but the thing is that you need to move it to another safe place. Madeline is acting out more right now". Roland the second said to his dad as he explains about it.
Roland the first look at Roland the Second as he is shocked by this. "What, do you have any idea how hard that I worked on putting the magical security into place in the music room. I came up with the ideas for how I wanted it to look and gotten consulted with how it works. And now you are telling me that your daughter wants to destroy everything that I put in and after everything that has happened. Your daughter is going to disrespect a dear old friend of mine who departed shortly after Amber and James were born. Yet if I know Teresa, she deeply entrusted Kimberly with items to keep safe. Yet you don't see Madeline demanding her to move things to safer place like how you are asking me to. Does Madeline always does this sort of thing to her own siblings and other people when they work so hard on things"? Roland the first asks Roland the second as he is angry about the news about thing.
Roland the second look at Roland the First as Madeline comes down as she sneaks to sleep in the room on the first floor that is meant for Sofia. Roland the first spots Madeline just in time. "Madeline, you should be in bed in the room with Amber? Plus that room is mean for Sofia not you". Roland the first said to Madeline as he gets on to her about it.
Madeline is stunned by this as she look at Roland the First and Roland the Second. "But Grandfather the first, Amber snores and I can't be in a room with her. Plus, dad, you need to have him move it to the castle where it will be safer because of his health and old age. He could be starting to forget things like Dr. Elizabeth said as he has those kinds of problems". Madeline said to Roland the second and Roland the first as she explains about it.
Roland the first and Roland the second are stunned and floored about this. "Madeline, Dr. Elizabeth is not even my doctor, so she can not diagnosis on me when I am not even a patient of hers. Second of all, I will not have you disrespect me in my own home like you already have done today at Jenna's house. Plus, Sofia, Jenna, you, Roland, Amber, James, Baileywick, and Miranda are guests in my home. The amulet of Lady Thalia will stay here just as it was entrusted to me. I am not going to break that vow and promise". Roland the first said to Madeline as he stands up to her.
Roland the second nod as he looks at Madeline as he will have a talk with her. "Madeline just go on up to bed". Roland the second said to Madeline as he will deal with her. Madeline nods as she went back upstairs. Roland the first and Roland the second continues the conversation about things as they know it will be a long week.
The next morning at the hospital, Sofia completed X-rays, MRI an a CT of her sprained wrist. Miranda is in the room with her as Dr Scarlet is getting her right wrist wrapped up in a split.
"Sofia, your wrist is moderately sprain. The good news is that it is not broken. However, it will take several weeks to fully heal". Dr. Scarlet said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia nod as she look at Dr. Scarlet as she has a light blue splint on her right wrist as it is a sling. "Thanks Dr. Scarlet", Sofia said to Dr. Scarlet as she is sighs about things.
Dr. Scarlet nod as she look at them. "I will have the nurse to bring the discharge papers. Also, I have the doctors note for Sofia's school and the follow up appointment already in the books next week". Dr. Scarlet said to them as she gives the instructions to Miranda.
Miranda nod as she look at Sofia as the girl has a lot on her mind. "Sofia, I am so sorry about what happened yesterday". Miranda said to Sofia as she apologizes to her.
Sofia look at Miranda as she glares at her as she is not fully convinced about it. "Mom, why did you even say yes to her when she was still grounded? If it was me, it would have been an automatic no and reminded me that I was still grounded. I was the one working hard and helping in the stables while Madeline was doing fun things like a tea party with James. You were there at the dinner when dad told me and Madeline that we were grounded for three days. Did you suddenly forgot that or did you completely ignored what dad said just to undermined him. If you are truly sorry then you would have said no to Madeline in the first place. You never did that at all. You have never once made things up to me after all the things you made me be sidelined to things that I was allowed to do, chosen to do, and invite to do. It is like you are wishing that Madeline was older than me, but nope I came first before Madeline. Not only I tried to block her from Miminus as a way to show to her that you are not supposed to do anything fun while being grounded, but be the support to Amber to making sure she got to see Jenna without Madeline". Sofia said to Miranda as she gives her a piece of her mind.
Miranda is stunned as she know that Sofia is right about things. "I know that honey. It is just when Madeine came to me, she told me that she gotten her dad's permission. I didn't think much of it". Miranda said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia look at Miranda as she face palms her face with her uninjured hand. "Mom, did you stop to think that dad was deeply busy like in a rush when she asked him. Plus, you know how busy and in a rush dad is". Sofia said to Miranda as she asks about it.
Miranda is stunned by this as she sighs about things as she knows that Sofia is right. "Well no, I didn't. Plus, honey you need to understand that Madeline is a special child". Miranda said to Sofia as she explains about it.
Sofia look at Miranda as she is stunned by this as she has tears in her eyes. "Am I not good enough for you mom? Do I look like my first dad so much that you see me as lesser than Madeline? Is that why you see me lesser than a human being because of him and how he left us. No matter what I do whether it is the right thing or not, it is always seen by wrong by your eyes. But when it is done by Madeline, it is always seen as right. Why do you hate me so much mom? Not only that, why does grandmum hate me as well? Do you and her not know and realize that I put myself on the line to make sure that Madeline was safe while the whole Cordelia thing happened because I will be one less grandkid that she will ever have to worry about because Madeline is the preferred grandkid over, me, James, and Amber"? Sofia asks Miranda as she is crying as it is not long that Roland arrives with Baileywick as he heard the whole thing.
Miranda is stunned by this as Roland is not happy about things. Roland look at Sofia as he has some news for her. "Sofia, when you get to my dad's house, you will be on the first floor where you will be near your mom and me and to a bathroom". Roland the second said to Sofia as he informs her about it.
Sofia is stunned by this as Miranda is surprised by this as she learns about it. "Really thanks dad", Sofia said to Roland as the discharge papers are signed as Baileywick takes Miranda and Sofia back to Roland the first house as Roland the second remains at the hospital visiting the unknown boy. However, what Sofia does not know that Kimberly over heard the whole thing.
James next time : The Retribution begins as a major test is waiting for Miranda and Baileywick. However, when Madeline and Nathaniel is taken, Miranda gets a bitter reality that things as a good parent who is true advocate for her child's life is in grave danger.
