Christian Witch

In the dining room members of two Royal families set around the table chatting while waiting to be served the delicious home style breakfast prepare by chef Rosa.

Brenda pushed her drink cart around filled with coffee, juice, milk,tall glasses of ice water, wine and the silver goblets full of blood. Pausing for a moment at King Evander's side to listen to his heart beat, not being sure if he is a vampire or a human.

But before she could even start, he lowered his own heart beat to an undetectable rate listen glanced over at her cart he smiled " Darling I'll have coffee and a glass of that red wine."

" Is that all Your Majesty" Brenda ask politely.

" Yeah that's perfect, thank you. " King Evander said. Brenda placed the coffee and wine on the table and continued to serve the rest of the guest without question before pushing her cart out of the dining room leaving the family alone to enjoy their breakfast.

After breakfast Lexi and Karmen showed their family around the Castle while Alex accompanied Jackson and his great grandfather to Julie's office to speak with the young witch Harper.

Inside Julie office the young maid Harper set nervously biting her finger nails waiting for King Alexander to speak with her.

" Harper don't be so nervous His Majesty is a good man he's not going to bite you."Julie smiled

" D...D ..Did he say what he wanted to speak to me about" Harper nervously stammered.

Julie chuckled, "Harper calm down your not in trouble His Majesty just texted me and said he wanted to speak to you about another piece of music he would like you to play at the wedding."

A few minutes later Alex knocked on the office door sticking his head inside. Julie stood up " Good morning Your Majesty please come in. " she greeted

" Good morning Julie I see Harper is already here." Alex waved his hand in Harper's direction speaking to her politely

" Harper can you come with me for a few minutes?"

Harper nervously stood up squeezing his hand into tight fist beside her taking tiny steps towards the door.

" Harper it's okay, don't be nervous." Julie coaxed her.

Alex chuckled , " Are you scared of me ,I'm not going to chop your fingers off. I just want to hear you play a piece of music on the organ for me."

" Oh, okay." Harper breathed, as she stepped out into the hallway behind Alex.

" Harper I hope you don't mind if Prince Jackson and my friend King Evander go with us, I just want their opinion on the music because I want it to be a surprise for Princess Alexis."

"Oh, of course not, that's really sweet of you Your Majesty. I'm sure Princess Alexis will be extremely happy with what ever you choose. But it's always good to get a second opinion from someone else just to make sure." Harper babbled

As they strolled down the hallway it wasn't long before King Evander slowed his pace to walk beside the young witch striking up a conversation with her.

" I heard you learned to play the pipe organ from your grandmother in church is that something you still do?"

" No Your Majesty, that was only when I was a little girl, but I still go to church with my grandmother." Harper nervously said glancing over at him before quickly bringing her eyes back into the direction they were walking.

"Oh, really and what church do you attend?"

" The Saint Andrews church down town."

A little surprised and a bit shocked by her answer, but he could tell she wasn't lying because he read her mind before she ever opened her mouth to utter a single word.

." He curiously ask " Does your mother and father also attend church with you and your grandmother?"

" My father does, but my mother was killed in a car accident when I was a baby."

" Oh, I'm sorry for your loss."

Harper nodded but didn't comment on her mother's death she silently stepped into the chapel behind Alex and Jackson pausing her steps in front of a table where Alex stood with some sheet music in his hand.

Alex handed her the sheet music holding her gaze speaking in a hypnotic voice.

" Harper do you hold any malice or ill intentions for any one in my family including prince Jackson's girlfriend Karmen Boyett or King Evander?"

While Alex compiled the the young girl King Evander read her mind Jackson leaned against the table beside Alex watching in astonishment by how smoothly Alex and his great grandfather could integrate the young girl without laying a finger on her. And by the fact that she replied to his question without hesitation in the same manner as Alex had ask.

" No Your Majesty, I would never hurt anyone in your family."

Releasing the young maid from the his gaze, Alex hand the young maid the sheet music smiling, " Here is the piece I want to hear you play."

She blinked her eyes, filling somewhat dazed. She glanced down at the paper in her hand, " Yes Your Majesty this is a beautiful piece of music."She replied stepping over to the old pipe organ. Pulling out the stops on the panels surrounding the keyboard. She adjusted the sound then smoothly gliding her fingers across the keys to create the beautiful romantic music that flowed through the whole castle flawlessly.

While the beautiful music filled the air the three men held a conversation among themselves about the young girl.

" She's not a danger, I've never heard of a witch to attend a Christian church." King Evander chuckled.

" Alex smiled, In the background check that I had done on her before she ever came to work here it said she lives in Pea Ridge it's one of the older communities just right out side the city full of working class citizens who have lived there for years. Her dad is a math teacher at the local high school. And like she said her mother passed away in a car accident back about sixteen years ago."

" Maybe she's like Karmen and don't even know she's a witch." Jackson cackled

" Possibly" Alex agreed

" Uh, how interesting" King Evander grinned. " A Christian witch."
