The two locked eyes in silence, not knowing how to take it. The King had been supportive of their projects directly and indirectly. The speed at which he gave his approval for the Confectionery Company, was encouraging. Afterward, Alfred brightened up, and spoke, “There must be a good reason, if it was from the King.”“You are right. The government may have had a program at that time.”“Whatever. We can always adjust. Let me inform her.”At Mirabel's ChamberApart from sleeping, the chamomile tea enhanced her hunger, and she woke up before lunch, and requested for food. Her chef expected that, and was prepared for her. She quickly served her with her food. Although she was sleepy, but she ate a double portion of her baked beans and buffalo wings before she walked to her room. At that point, her phone beeped, and she laid on her bed to read it.Meanwhile, Alfred wished to be certain that the mail got her attention. Therefore, he gave her a call at once. She quickly paused the mail, and

On the other hand, Irene was able to recognize her. She had returned to her parents a few days after fighting with the Spellcaster, and was coincidentally at the court premises. Her father was unhappy with her because, she wished to strain the cordial relationship that he enjoyed with King Raphael Churchill VII. He asked her to get her husband back, or prepare to be disowned. Meanwhile, it was a slap in the King's face that his daughter was the first to be divorced in the lineage of the Churchill.In the meantime, the Registrar had given her an appointment for noon that day. He expected that he would be free after the second marriage, until the King upturned their plans. As planned, she was in the court. To her surprise, she saw a familiar procession, and heard a familiar tune. It was the same procession that brought the Prince to the court fifteen years ago when they got married.“What is going on? Is the Prince giving our daughter out for marriage?” She asked herself in astonishment

Nonetheless, the couple, especially Alfred, was shy. He looked at Carson, and the rest. To worsen his case, Mike called out from the pews, “Professional Kisser, go on.”Apart from the witnesses, Alfred, laughed heartily, and his wife was infested. She laughed too, and thereafter, they kissed again, the Registrar's prank satiated. Then, he proceeded, “Ladies and gentlemen, behold Prince and Princess Alfred Walter. The latest couple in town.”The witnesses clapped cheerfully. On an instinct, the Prince looked at the two foreigners, and their clapping and cheering seemed to be the loudest. He looked away again, and faced his beautiful sister, and dashing brother-in-law.Furthermore, it was time for signing, and the issuance of the certificate. The couple was led to the table by the Registrar, while the boys brigade band kept the place livelier. The King and his wife got up, and walked to the table. Likewise, Sir Gilmore and his wife got up, and he looked at the foreigners. One of them got

The Prince led the procession by foot, while his children remained in the carriage. Meanwhile, Alfred was confused about his identify, when they got closer, and the Prince gave him a love smile when their eyes met. Soon, they were in the park, and everyone got down.At the CourtFrom Irene's hiding place, she was able to catch sight of all that she needed to see from the wedding. Although she was not inside the registry's hall, but she heard all the laughter and clapping. The Registrar returned to his office after the marriage, and rested. After his lunch, he sent for her. “I apologize for the change in schedule, Princess Churchill. Kindly take your seat,” the Registrar offered when she got into his office. He had never seen her looking so gloomy before. “Thank you, Registrar,” she expressed and took her seat. “May I know why you wish to see me,” he asked.The dejected Irene narrated her story, and concluded with, “I need your counsel. The marriage was registered here, and I never

“It is all right. I will inform him,” the Prince responded, and got up. He walked to his parents, who were through with their meal, and were just relaxing and waiting for Sir Gilmore and his guests to leave.“My father, Sir Gilmore, has a message for you.”“That's good. Let him come,” the King said, and adjusted. “All right, my father,” the Prince said, and left. He returned with the four and made them to sit comfortably.“Welcome once again, my in-laws,” the King and Queen greeted cheerfully. Now, Sir Gilmore and his wife were comfortable with the title, and he corrected, “Thank you, my King. We had mixed things up. I believe that you mistook Alfred for my relation.”“Certainly. I thought he was your nephew, and under your care.”“Not at all. He is my son's friend, and he is a very nice chap. Many people assume the same.”“That is interesting. All the same, you and your wife are my in-laws.”“Yes. You are our in-laws,” the Queen responded happily, and the laughed softly. Meanwhile, t

Sir Gilmore and his wife left with the relieved guests. Nevertheless, the family had returned to the parlor, and the Prince was exhausted, and needed to take a rest. Then he called his parents' attention, “My father, I will take a rest. Kindly Let me know if you still need me.”“Take your seat, my son,” the King requested. The exhausted Prince obeyed, and sat down.“I think we need to know. What do know about Alfred's mother? She was not mentioned at all in our conversation.”“Neither did she come with them for the son's wedding,” the Queen added. The Prince shook his head in disapproval, and said, “I have no idea about her.”“Did you see her the time you visited?”“Not at all, my mother. Meanwhile, I didn't visit Sir Walter's house. We had lunch at his old man's home.”“It is all right. We will talk more about that. You can leave,” the King proposed. The Prince got up straight away, and greeted, “Okay, my father. Later.”“Later, dear,” the Queen added, and the Prince left. The couple

The King quickly put himself together and dried his tears. He rested on his wife's chest, and she caressed his back. After a while, he requested, “I think the Prince should know about this at once.”The Queen stopped caressing him abruptly, and gave him a searching look, “Do you think that he should?” She asked. Without a second thought, he responded, “Yes. I have made numerous mistakes. I need to remedy as many as possible immediately.”“If that is what you want, it is okay by me,” she accepted. The King got up and looked at the time. It was a few minutes past 11 PM. and he picked up his phone, “I will call him right away,” he announced.“He must have gone to sleep,” the Queen made clear.“I need to settle this now,” he insisted, and dialed his number. Unfortunately, the Prince was on another call, and he decided to give him some time. Nevertheless, he needed more clarifications, and he asked, “By the way, why were her dates humiliating her? Could it have anything to do with her perso

The Queen mildly narrated the full story to him. At that juncture, the Prince's demeanor changed from worry to sympathy. He looked at his father's face, and encouraged, “My father, don't be mad at yourself. You wouldn't have done it under normal circumstances.”“You are right, my son. Thank you for your understanding. Appreciate your mother on my behalf for watching my back all the time.”“Thank you, mother, for taking the initiative to secure the baby. Who knows what the maid would have done with the pregnancy?”“You are welcome, my son. Thank you for accepting to bond with her. It made the burden very light for me.”“That was the least I could do, my mother. You are a wonderful mother to us. I can't imagine life without a sister like her.”Nevertheless, the King was not through with the unburdening of his heart. Then, he asked, “How do I break the news to her? How do I look at her face and introduce myself as her biological father?”They looked at him for a while before the Prince s
