Leo was in a meeting. The meeting with the architect was frustrating for Leo. It was quite hard to meet the standards of Prince Leo but he knew how to get what he wanted.
"I want the resto-bar to have a feeling of a club and we need a bigger spa. This hotel is going to be recreational of rich and spoiled. They would come here to unwind the so-called stress that comes from partying way too much. The spa and resto-bar are the USP (unique selling proposition) of this hotel", Leo explained his points to his team again.
"I get it, Prince but for a bigger spa we need to cut down the room capacity", Jacob the architect explained.
"Room capacity will not change, I am not going to compromise on comfort Mr.Jacob, you need to find a way to fix this", while Leo was explaining, he got disturbed when his phone rang. He saw it was Her highness, he gestures to the other people to keep quiet.
He answered the call. After greetings, Her Highness told him, he was shaken to the core. He told Jacob, "work on the spa and resto-bar" and left the office.
He told his assistant who was walking behind him "make arrangements for me and Jennifer to go back to City D", as he and Jennifer have come to City A for the meeting with the architect and the drive from City A to City D was 2 hours.
The drive to City D was very tense. Jennifer could not understand what was wrong with her brother. She has never seen him that worried and tense. She sensed incomprehensiveness in him. Her brother never got that rattled by anything. She couldn't control her urge to ask so she asked him "what happened brother, why are we going back?"
"This is Her highness order", he said in such a final tone that she had no courage to ask him any further questions.
"You go to the penthouse, I will go to Royal Manor," Leo told her in a commanding tone because Smith Manor was in City K and whenever they go to City D they stay in their hotel penthouse which was in City D.
When they reached City D, Leo dropped Jennifer by the hotel penthouse and He went to see Her highness in Royal Manor. This commotion was making Jennifer really worried.

Leo reached the Royal Manor and directly went to Her Highness study room. That day he was not in the mood of traditional welcomes. He was running a little low on patience. He burst into the study room, looked straight into Her Highness eyes, and asked, "Is that true, grandma?".
Her Highness looked at him and then smiled; he only called her grandma when he was mad at some of her decisions. He was the most defiant kid, always wanted to do things his way. She had taught him diplomacy herself and watching him now confront her with such cool manner made her proud. She retaliated with his stare, "sit down Leo, it's better if we talk about it while sitting comfortably".
Leo sat in the chair opposite to her, "she was always here and you never told me. I always thought that she got kidnapped, but you were hiding her from everyone for such a long time".
" Leo, that time was not appropriate to tell anyone, I wanted to save Andrea that's why I chose that option and it was important that everyone believed that Andrea had been kidnapped so that the people who wanted to harm her would leave her alone. Sometimes the best place to hide someone is in plain sight", Her Highness explained.
"then where's she now, grandma?" Leo asked, "why are you telling these things now?"
"Because those people have found Andrea. Mr. James told me those people are attacking Andrea for a few weeks. She will be 21 soon. I want her to come back to the Royal Manor. But now I am getting old Leo and I want your help to bring her back home and keep her safe. if I want your help in it, will you help me, Leo ?" Her Highness asked with hopeful eyes.
If Andrea comes back he will become the official son of William's family and with it, all the power will come. But he doesn't even know what she looks like? Leo's brain did a quick calculation, "Yes, of course, Her Highness, I will help you".
