Another boring lesson, ever since I learned that I was a Royal, Heir to the throne all I've had are etiquette lessons. As if I hadn't had them from childhood and know absolutely nothing. I cringe as a light gleams into my eyesight. It burns and leaves spots all over my vision. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Sm9TT1tO

"Psst, over here" I hear a whisper from the corner of the room. My head automatically goes to the nose and I see it's my brothers. Chris is leaning against the stonewall and spending the secret passageway. It's open just ajar, lucky for them it's out of the view of Mrs.Madoch. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDXkrojxqZ

Theo himself is throwing rocks onto the window to get Mrs.Madoch to fall into the trap. She won't, she is to stubborn and stern to fall for that. When I first meant Mrs.Madoch she seemed nice but tough. She is a women in her fifties, with grey peppered haired tied into a bun. She ears a long gray skirt and bodice. It's voided of any color or detail and emotionless.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdVb2XiQsr

I've learned she is stern and cold hearted and shows almost no sympathy. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJ54OMT2o

Chris shutts the passaway door and a loud bang echos through the room. Theo goes from his place behind the desk to the rooms entrance. Theo somehow quietly shutts the door behind him. A knock is heard and Theo ends up being the distraction. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs1Jn6RgHq

I feel a hand grab my wrist and pull me towards the open passageway. Chris makes sure that we made a good getaway. He leads me down the hallway, dripping noises are all I hear. Without Chris's lit torch we would be shrouded in darkness. The stone has mildew and moss, easy enough to see why. It's so cold and damp here, stone castles always feel that way. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ8Ejlvnv1

"Why did you do all that?" I ask because it clearly was unnecessary. "We didn't have a better way to get you out" Chris replies as if it's obvious. My feet freeze in their place. "You couldn't find.." I pause then continue -"You could have said mother requested my presences. You could have said I was needed somewhere eles. You didn't need to come up with a flamboyant and illogical stunt too". 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFMQusGPf

Laughter echos off the walls, "You're right about all of that. Yet what is the point if your not having fun?". I don't even have a response to that. It's to smart of a comeback. "You call that fun" I scoffs as they come closer to the exit of the passageway. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5waZylls

We arrive to the bottom and the exit revealed a beautiful garden. Roses, Violets, palm trees surrounded by Florida torreya's. The sun beams down on them in a furry and the humidity makes you feel like your being strangled. A ruffle in the bushes and I see Theo. He mange to escape Mrs.Madoch. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNQCCxQSGt

"You two brought me here for what reason?" I stiffle a giggle, Theo has leaves in his hair and well. I burst out laughing, "You're covered in Creeping Beggarweed and Goose Grass" Why didn't you just go to my room and climb down the tree?". 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gIcjv0YQ1

"What? There's a tree near your room!" Theo exclaims and pauses to realize something. "You know what, I give up" he throws his arms in the air. I glance a look at Chris. His eye twitches and he is breathing evenly as if that can calm him. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCK2UVjX21

The boys lead me through the garden and past the gates to the city and town below. The more we walk we are passing nobles houses. They are smaller and less detailed than the palace. Yet a simple cutlery set from one of the Lords houses could feed an entire working family for a month. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKHO64V5na

"This place is" 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒... that's what I want to say but it's caught in my throat. The roads are filled with manure, rotten food and waste products. I half to stop myself from gagging and I have to cover my mouth with my hankerchief. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBZug4R4XI

"The Crown gives money to charties, homeless shelters but.." but it's never enough specially with the large amount of families and immigrants here. Houses are made from wood or brick. I look through the window and see five or six members of a family to one room. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh4k4U7wV0

"How can they live like this? I mean their overly crowded. Disease and bacteria must be everywhere" i wonder with revulsion and I stop, I see something you can't unsee.

What Theo says is logical and factual but a mother selling her children for money. How can you justify that? I turn my head to another alleyway and see dead bodies lane around; forgotten and alone. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe901Cgq83

Tears stream down my face in sorrow, I'm meant to be their future Queen and I had no idea what they were going through. "What mama has done has help some. It's actually more than what grandfather did" Chris sounds like mama is a constilation prize compared to Grandpa. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8gFHWFteL

Miranda and I are having high Tea in the private living room. The Royal cheifs made an amazing Afternoon Tea. The top tier was made of sweets. A mousse cake, strawberry macroon, and a mini tart. The middle had amazing feta cheese and chocolate scones with blackberry jam and clotted cream. The last teir has savory treats on it. Poppyseed sandwich to chickpea sandwiches.254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50G7vKrcYu

"So.." I utter and Miranda mirrors me by saying the same thing. It's been so awkward since they arrived here. "I was so happy when you first came but now" I pause to gather the right way to say this. "We are acting like two strangers instead of best friends" Miranda I laugh in relief at least one of us has the guts to say something. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO9OS3phWI

This seemed to have broken the ice, we ended up talking for hours. Music, theater, put favorite actors and playwrites. Miranda and I hear yelling outside the door. "You can't just" Jackson, the high gaurd yells. Ara burst through the door with eyes blazing and fist near her sides. She is like an angry tiger ready to pounce. 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlneicd84vi
