Entertain Myself

After she masterfully played the music piece on the organ Alex had chosen .She stood and walked over to where Alex was and bowed her head.

Bringing her head up ,she smiled." Your Majesty did you like that one or would you like to hear something else?"

"Harper that was very good and I believe it will do." Alex smiled politely at the young girl.

Thank you Your Majesty, now exactly when would you like me to play it,?"

" I think when everyone is leaving the chapel to head on into the grand ballroom." Alex replied.

" Okay, I believe that will be a good time also." She agreed ,feeling a little nervous all she wanting to do now was get out of this room as fast as she can .

Glanced up at Alex she uttered in a low voice "Is there anything else I can do for you Your Majesty."

" No Harper I think that will be all, you can go back to your work now. "

" Thank you Your Majesty " she bowed, and turned around to walk out of the room.

" Alright now that's done are y'all ready to go play some golf." Alex uttered as he stalked towards the door.

"The two of you go ahead with out me.I believe I will entertain myself for the rest of the day." King Evander grinned.

Alex narrowed his eyes , noticing the devilish looking on his great grandfather's face.

King Evander chuckled, " Don't worry your head Alexander. I'm not going to interrupt her work, just find out a little more information."

Jackson took a step down the hallway placing his hand on Alex's shoulders raising his other hand up to give his great grandfather a small wave." Come on Alex it'll be okay." He reassured him.

"See ya later Van don't forget about going out to dinner tonight." He shouted over his shoulder as him and Alex walked back towards the dining room.

" Do you think he might have detected something dangerous about her and didn't tell us." Alex asked concerned, "I mean I'm pretty confident that I compiled her and she was telling the truth."

Jackson chuckled, " Alex you're not rusty at compiling people, but you need to work on reading people's face's . Grandfather has the hots for the little holy witch."

" You think so." Alex asked baffled by this information.

" I know so, I know you never look at your employees that way. But if you haven't noticed she is pretty . I noticed her the first year she worked in the castle. But I knew she was one of those teenagers from the high school. So I never bothered talking to her."

"Well I guess if you say so, I don't think I've ever seen her face. She always looks down around me like she's scared or something." Alex said , shrugging his shoulders.

" See that's what I'm talking about Alex, you really need to get out more. She's shy and you right ,she is a little skittish. Jackson explained.

Alex chuckled, " Well if she's scared of me great grandfather's going to scare the hell of her."

"Exactly, he's wasting his time, she won't ever go out with him."

Alex crease his brow, glancing over at Jackson " Why do you say that. Great Grandfather is a powerful king and he's a handsome man." Alex ask confused, and continued "You know I might not get out much, but I do have a lot in common with great grandfather. And I've never had a girl refuse to go out with me."

Jackson placed his hand on his shoulder and hummed, " Let me see ,if I can help you understand from her point of view. First of all the girls you ask out were debutants or come from an old aristocratic family. And let's not forget your wife the Crown Princess. You have never ask a maid or a waitress out. Right?"

" I'm still not seeing your point." Alex confessed.

" Okay my dear Brother, the little holy witch reeks of innocence .She don't try to out shine anyone to draw attention to herself. She never flirts with anyone ,she's happy just fading into the background. So the main reason she will turn him down is because he's all powerful and handsome. She will just think he's trying to play her." Jackson explained

"You think so?"

" I know so ,all the middle class girls I have went out with where players. Wanting to play me, you know the type. The ones that will do me tonight and Ethan tomorrow night. Well she's not that type."

On the other side of the castle Harper stood in the laundry room folding towels to be delivered back to the guest bedrooms.

When suddenly she fills a gust of wind on her back. She stuck her head around the corner to check the service entrance, to see if someone might have left the door open .

Seeing the door wasn't open she walked on over to check if it was locked. King Alexander has given strict orders for all the doors in the castle to be secured and locked all this week.

She turned the knob just to make sure it was still locked . Knowing it's not uncommon for someone to leave it open after they take out the trash .

Seeing the door was still closed tight and secured with the lock. She walked back to the folding table and put the towels in a big cart to deliver them upstairs to the guest rooms.

She pushed her cart into the service elevator and reached over to push the button. But before her finger could touch the control panel a hand came from the side to stop the door from closing.
