Please do

" N...No, your Majesty the table was cleared and cleaned by the Kitchen staff before we ever started." One of the maids nervously stammered, startled by the King's sudden appearance beside them.

King Evander hums "Maybe I dropped it in the garden, I will go look out there."He said Nodding his head to excuse himself ,before turning to walk off he smiled "Sorry to have bothered you. You ladies have I nice evening now."

" You to Your Majesty ." The maids said bowing their heads, before they continued with their work.

He stepped back over to where everyone else was standing giving Alex a slight nod, Jackson and Alex had heard the conversation between their great grandfather and the maids.

Jackson used it to his advantage to create an excuse to talk to his grandfather alone away from the other family members.He

twisted his neck around to look at his grandfather " Van if your lighter is a special one I will be glad to help you look for it."

" I would really appreciate that, it is kinda special to me . And I believe I dropped out beside those roses near the fountain." King Evander uttered stepping away from the table to head out to the garden area ,where the white roses was planted.

Jackson took Karmen's glass from her hand and put it on the table beside them.Placing his hand on her lower back he guided her in the direction of the fountain.

When they reached the white roses beside the fountain. They all lowered their heads in pretense of looking for the lighter on the ground for a moment.

" King Evander glanced up at his grandson giving him his opinion about what he found out from briefly reading the young maids mind.

" She is a witch but I don't think she's a problem, I read her mind for a moment and it was truly quite boring." He chuckled " All she was thinking about was how she should dress to play the organ at the wedding. But we will still ask her in the morning to make sure, she's unaware of Karmen's true identity. He uttered ,lowering his gaze back down and suddenly calling out in a louder voice " I found it."

Jackson nodded also speaking in a louder voice " good, let's go back the rehearsal dinner it's almost over and we don't want all the gift bags snatched up before we get one."

"Hum, must be something good inside of them."

" Yeah just make sure to get one in the black bag, the gold bags are for the ladies."

Jackson smirked

King Evander chuckled, " The ladies must be getting perfume or something, I did find the aroma over there quite delightful ,and honestly the view wasn't bad either."

" Let me check her file and make sure she's eighteen." Jackson grinned, glancing over at his great grandfather shaking his head.

" Please do."

" Really?"

He smiled, " I might as well enjoy myself while I'm here, right,? and I do find it quite amusing to shower ladies with gifts. Especially young ladies that haven't lead privileged life's they are such delightful little creatures."

"Follow me to Alex's office and I'll check her for you just to make sure."Jackson shrugged his shoulder " She should be at least eighteen if she didn't graduate early."

As they came closer to the patio they Jackson nodded towards the table with the gift bags on it, " let's grab one those gifts before we head down there. You'll enjoy it, there full of hand rolled Cuban's the ones Alex gets special made for him."

" That sounds interesting." King Evander hummed,

Jackson walked past the table grabbing two of the bags full of the Cuban cigars handing one over to his great grandfather

Jackson nodded towards the door where Alex and Lexi was standing to wish everyone a good night before they walked back up to their bedrooms . " I'll tell Alex we are going to drop by he's office before we head on down there." Jackson said,

They stepped in line behind Ethan, Jackson leaned in closer to whisper in his ear . " Do you want to come with us, down to Alex's office for few minutes. Before I show you to your room."

" Sure, if it's not going to take to long, I'm kinda jet lagged and I really want to get out of this damm suit." Ethan grumbled as he pulled at his neck tie moving his head from side to side like he was choking in a hangman's noose.

Jackson chuckled, " Don't you wear a tie everyday at work."

" No I got rid of that old fashioned dress code and everyone seems happier now."

" I might try that in my office."

" When do you even go to work?" Ethan grinned.
