Astrid turned to face Ace and close her mouth to giggle politely. `Jeez, we have an audience of His Highness Prince Charles himself'. Jaxon strained not to laugh and closed his mouth with one hand.
`Astrid that's no prince', Jaxon tried to reason with her all the while eyeing Ace with discomfort. The twins snickered behind Jaxon.
Hadwin who heard Ace shouting scrambled out of the pool to meet him.
`Rubbish, he speaks with a British accent and wears his clothes like royalty, he has to be a prince. A duck THAT walks like a duck, quacks like one has to be a DUCK! We got to fucking curtsy him', Astrid straightened her back and tried to bend her knees with one foot in front of another, but she lost her balance and Ace closed his distance to steady her.
This time no one laughed, instead waited with bated breath. Abigail and Derek went missing in action as soon as Ace stepped near the poolside.
