Since Marcel is next in line to the throne, he was sent away for training. This is super important to him, because he needs to know how to run this kingdom.

One day me and Xavier won’t run the kingdom anymore. Besides, we were in charge since we found out we were mates.

When Xavier went off to do his king duties, I spent time with the girls. We did our nails , hair and went shopping. There will be a ball coming soon.

This ball is so that they could be able to find their mates. Marcel will be here just in time, I’m sure he wouldn’t want to miss out.

“Romeo!” I call out to our butler.

Romeo is our new butler. Gustav retired because his body was fragile and weak. He still comes in on a daily basis though, he makes sure to give Romeo some tips.

“Yes you highness. What may I do for you?” He says as he bows.

“Can I have four cups of tea please? Oh….and a slice of cake.”

“Yes your highness. Coming right up.”

He leaves and he makes his way to the kitchen. A few minutes later, he comes back with a tray.

“Thank you so much.”

“My pleasure your highness.”

He bows one more time then leaves to go off and do his duties. It’s almost lunch time and Xavier is on his way home. I have no idea what he wants to eat, So I’ll leave that to him for when he comes home.

“So you girls excited for the ball?”

“Yep. A little nervous though.”

Me, Kiara, Ariana and Sarah were chatting our time away. I raised my girls to be comfortable talking about anything with me.

Soon Xavier comes home. He was extremely tired and you could see it in his face. He looked like someone who was sick. As soon as he spots us, he instantly puts a smile on his face. He walks over to us and greets us.

“Hey ladies.”

“Good afternoon dad.”

“Good afternoon uncle Xavier.” Ariana greets him.

He gives me a kiss on the cheek and then steals a piece of my cake. I slap his hand away before he could steal another piece.

“HEY!! That’s mine. Go and get your own.”

He laughs as he makes his way upstairs.

“You and uncle Xavier are so happy and in love. I really hope me and my mate will be like you one day.” Ariana tells me.

“Yeah, don’t we all want that? I mean it’s hard to find someone who really loves you.” Sarah says.

I smile at the girls, they are so grown up.

“Mom…..how did you and dad meet?” Kiara asks me.

I never told them the full story, and now I think it’s about time. I smile at them, loving the fact that they want to know how we met.

“Well get your tissues. Prepare for a whole novel ladies.”

I sit back sipping my tea and preparing to tell them the story.

“You see, it all started when I had to move to Lancashire.”
