"Breakfast was delicious as always" said Liam as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"I must be going now; I have some very urgent matters to attend to" said Liam as he stood up.

"I will see you later father" said Liam as he smiled at his father.

"Duke Lawrence, Duchess Ireti" said Liam as he turned to Lawrence and Ireti and he smiled, and they smiled back at him.

"Your highness" said Lawrence as he smiled.

"Lady Tessa, Lord Richard" said Liam as he smiled and he turned to look at Tessa and Richard.

"Your highness" said Tessa as she smiled at him.

"Wura" said Liam as he turned to look at Wura and he smiled at her, and she smiled at him, as he left the dining room.

"Well everyone as my son said, Breakfast was delicious, and it is nice having you all here" said Alaric as he turned to look at everyone and he smiled.

"We are glad to be here your Majesty" said Lawrence as he smiled.

"Yes we are your Majesty" said Tessa as she smiled.

"Well I must also be going now, I have some matters to attend to as well" said Alaric as he stood up.

"Lawrence, would you please go with me?" asked Alaric as he turned to look at Lawrence.

"Of course your Majesty" said Lawrence as he smiled and he stood up.

"Alright then, let us proceed" said Alaric as he began to walk.

"I shall see you later" said Lawrence as he smiled as everyone and he gave Ireti and quick kiss on the cheek before he left to follow after Alaric.

"Oh Wura, the Castle is so big" said Tessa as she turned to look at Wura and she smiled.

"Oh Aunt, tell me about it, I still do not know my way around the Castle" said Wura as she laughed.

"Oh I can just imagine, have you got lost?" asked Tessa as she laughed.

"Oh Aunt, I have gotten lost almost twice" said Wura as she laughed.

"Oh my dear" said Tessa as she laughed.

"Mother, what did you think about breakfast?" asked Wura as she turned to look at her mother.

"Well it was alright Wura" said Ireti as she looked at Wura.

"Although I felt like it was missing something" said Ireti.

"Of course you think so my dear Reti" said Tessa

"Because you are of course the best cook in the entire Kingdom" said Tessa as she smiled.

"You flatter me Tessa" said Ireti as she smiled.

"No I do not Reti Wura can testify to that, even Richie agrees" said Tessa as she smiled.

"Right Richie??" asked Tessa as she turned to look at Richard who was drinking a cup of tea.

"Well she speaks the truth Ireti" said Richard with a very straight face, in all honesty both he and Tessa would have only been able to survive with her food, so of course he thought that she was the best cook in the kingdom.

"You see Reti, everyone can testify to that" said Tessa as she smiled and she turned back to look at Ireti.

"You all flatter me" said Ireti as she laughed.

"Well because you deserve it mother" said Wura as she smiled at her mother.

"Well alright then" said Ireti as she smiled.

"Wura, what do you think his Majesty would say if I ask to make something for desert?" asked Ireti as she looked at Wura.

"Well I think he would agree mother, his Majesty is a very nice man after all" said Wura as she smiled.

"Alright then" said Ireti as she smiled.

"Oooh what are you making Reti dear??" asked Tessa as she smiled.

"That is a surprise my dear Tessa" said Ireti as she smiled.

"Aww, why?? Come on Ireti, please tell me" said Tessa as she pleaded with Ireti.

"I cannot do that my dear" said Ireti as she smiled and Tessa frowned.

Wura laughed, this was the kind of display she had missed so much, with her family there was never a dull moment, there would always be something for them to laugh on together, they were always happy, and there was never any sadness with any of them.

Wura was really grateful that they were all here with her, now she knew why she always felt so bored and lonely in the Castle, there was none of theses good times to make her laugh or smile, and she really had missed them all.

The Castle was always so dark and grim, as if everyone was always sad, and Wura did not like that at all.

"Oh well alright then" said Tessa as she gave up, she could not wait for Ireti to make whatever desert she wanted to prepare, because she was sure that it would be delicious in the end.

"What do you think that his Majesty wanted to discuss with my brother?" asked Tessa as her mind wandered off to Lawrence.

"Well I do not know at all Aunt" said Wura as she drank her tea, but with the little she knew about Alaric, it was probably something that was not so important, or he would have called Liam to come along with them as well.

"Hmm that is strange" said Tessa.

"Well Aunt, I do not think that we should think too much of it, his Majesty just probably wants to discuss some important things between them" said Wura as she put back the teacup on the saucer.

"I never knew his Majesty was such a nice man" said Tessa as she smiled, she always thought that he was a very cold and serious man from all the stories she had heard about him when she was a child.

"And neither did I, but he was just so sweet and kind to me, and he still is" said Wura as she smiled, she considered Alaric the Grandfather she never had.

"Well not only is he sweet, but he is a generous man" said Ireti as she smiled.

"You can say that again my Reti" said Tessa as she smiled.

"And well the Prince, I mean your husband Wura, he is a very nice man as well" said Tessa as she smiled at Wura.

"Mhmm" said Wura as she forced a smiled, which reminded her that she had a lot to say to that husband of hers, which got her thinking, did he know that she wanted to speak to him, and that was why he had left the dining room so early in the name of many important matters.

Well he had another thing coming if he thought that he could escape from her, she was going to find him soon.

"And he is very handsome too" said Tessa as she looked at Wura.

"Tell me Wura does he…" said Tessa as she was cut off.

"Tessa!" said Ireti as she called out to Tessa and she shot her a warning gaze.

"What my Reti??' asked Tessa as she looked confused on why Ireti called her like that.

"This is neither the place or the time for your questions" said Ireti as she warned Tessa, she knew what Tessa was going to ask Wura about, and trust her it was not appropriate at all, and most of all Richard was here along with them.

"But…" said Tessa.

"But Nothing Tessa, we can discuss that later, but for now, no" said Ireti as she shook her head, Tessa was just too much at times.

Both Wura and Richard were utterly confused on what Tessa and Ireti were talking about, they seemed to be communicating in another language that they were not aware you.

But then Wura got thinking, and then she remembered that this was her beloved Aunt that she was talking about, and her Aunt was not the most appropriate person when it came to speech, and it was about that time that Wura began to thank her mother internally for saving her from such embarrassment, which made her decide that as she much as had missed her family, it had came time for her to escape Tessa's questionings.

"Well I am truly full, and I also need to take care of some things" said Wura as she stood up.

"So I will see you all later, and enjoy the Palace" said Wura as she smiled.

"Alright my dear see you" said Tessa as she smiled at Wura.

"I will see you later Wura" said Ireti as she smiled and Wura smiled once more as she left the dining room and she heaved a sigh of relief once she was gone.

"My Princess, I was on my way to find you" said Nora as she saw Wura.

"Well you have good timing Nora" said Wura as she smiled at Nora.

"Thank you my princess" said Nora as she smiled.

"Shall we go my princess?" asked Nora.

"Well yes, yes we shall Nora" said Wura as she smiled and they began to walk.

"Nora" called Wura.

"Yes my princess?" asked Nora as she stopped walking.

"I would like to go to his highness's office, would you please take me there" said Wura.

"Of course my princess, please follow me" said Nora as she nodded her head and she walked.

"Thank you Nora" said Wura as she smiled at her as they walked.
