As the limousine approached the Castle Alex and Jackson both peered out the window. Their eyes scanned across everything, from the big iron gate to the flags flying from the top of the watch tower.
Alex noticed the castle wasn't built much different than Eddington Castle but he didn't really expect it to be . Back in the olden days castles were built for defense and protection, not for beauty and tourists attractions .
Now that all of the older castles have been updated and glorified all that remains is the shape of the original building. The moats have all been replaced by beautiful gardens and the drawbridges have been replaced with beautiful stone sidewalks, that leads up to a Grand Entrance sporting huge double doors with large planters on each side. And it seems his great grandfather's castle was no exception .
The limousine pulled up to the main gate and driver rolled the window down to speak with the guard, a smile curled on Alex's face as the gate slid open . His heart pounded in his chest, his mind wonder and he was rehearsing in his mind on what he was going to say. it reminded him of a time not long ago when his driver pulled through the gate at Whitley Castle.
Thinking back on that day, he pulled Lexi closer to him just for comfort, he glanced over at Jackson to see how he was doing. Jackson set relaxed ,but Alex knew he wasn't as relaxed as he seemed to be, he was to quit. No jokes or laughter was coming from his brother who was just like him, they both set in silence looking around at everything.
The car finally came to a stop a man stepped up to open the door for the two Royal couples . When they approached the big wooden doors the guard pulled them open and stood to the side with his head bowed.
When they stepped inside the Castle a lady in a blue dress was waiting for them. She bowed her head and spoke to Alex
"Good morning Your Majesty," please follow me."Is all the lady said to them. She didn't speak another word until they came to another set of doors. She held the door and stepped to the side " please come on in." She said and turned around to leave.
A handsome man with dark hair and tanned skin stood up from the comfortable arm chair he was setting in , his amber eyes traveled to each one of them before a gently smile curled on the man's lips.
Lexi stood beside Alex clutching onto his arm, she whispered softly " Alex is that your great grandfather, he's a freaking hottie."
A large peal of laughter came from the man in front of them that echoed through the room. He stepped forward wrapping his arms around his great grandson, he hardly patted his back which made a loud thumping sound, he stepped over to Jackson and done the same.
His eyes traveled to the beautiful young woman standing beside his great grandsons. Before he spoke " Alexander aren't you going to introduce me to the young lady."
Alex blinked his eyes, he had no doubt this man in front of him was his great grandfather, it was the same man he had seen in an old photo of the man holding
him in his arms the day he was born.
The man had not changed or aged a day, but the wisdom the man held in his eyes could only come with age. And the raw power that radiated from him was something Alex had never felt before, his powerful aura was like a scorching heat that filled every inch of the room.
" Lexi this is my great grandfather King Evander Weston"
"Great grandfather, this is my fiancé Crown Princess Alexis Whitley." Alex introduced them, the man took Lexi's hand placing a gently kiss on the back of it speaking in a soft kind voice " It's a pleasure to meet you Princess." Still in shock Lexi mumbled a small greeting to the man " Nice to meet you ,Your Majesty "
King Evander stepped over in front of his other great grandson, a smile curled on his lips he leaned closer to Karmen and took a deep breath , his eyes narrowed causing Jackson to stiffen his shoulders. King Evander placed his hand on his grandsons shoulder, " relax , Grandfather's just curious, where did you find such a unique little creature, and what is her name?"
He ask Jackson curiously .
As on cue Jackson introduced the two.
" Karmen I would like you to meet my great grandfather King Evander Weston."
" Great grandfather, I would like you to meet My fiancé Miss. Karmen Boyett."
" Nice to meet you Your Majesty " Karmen greeted the King who looked mesmerized by the petite debutant.
The whole room was quite as the demon king picked up her hand and sniffed up her arm before placing a kiss on her hand. Instead of greeting her ,he mummers a question " Please do tell me where did you come from?"
Jackson peered over at Karmen seeing she was to stunned to speak, " Great Grandfather, she's from Elgin. Actually her family lives in the southern part."
The King broke his eyes away from the tiny debutant, waving his hand in front of him, " My apologizes, please have a seat."
His eyes then traveled back onto Karmen as he spoke to everyone. " You know back long ago your grandmother was concentrated to be a rare find. My marriage to your great grandmother was something unusual. But now it has become common, I have lived a very long time and never heard of a witch and a demon mating . Miss Boyett please do tell me about your parents."
" Grandfather, Karmen don't know her real mother and father they are both dead, she grew up thinking she was a human , with human parents. She is James Boyett's daughter, her grandfather is Nicholas Crain, that is the only family she knows." Jackson explained , King Evander raised his already high arched brows, curiously asking
" how can that be , she has to much power to ever think she was a human, it's a mix of magic and a strong demon. Maybe even a warrior. Perhaps a knight or a lord."
