She looked closely at all edges of the screen to see if there was an opening, but no reasonable one, she moved to the wall and tried peeping at the back of the Tv still no success on her very serious investigation mission.

"Sir, or rather Ben, I would have loved to ask you how the humans get into the television or Tv but I see you are busy so I would just ask later," Alexandria asked hoping Ben would also give her s little of his time as she had indirectly asked what was bothering her.

Wilson asked as he dropped the book he was reading to give Regal his full attention. "Uncle, I know studying is necessary, but we both know that's not all it takes to defend the empire and the people, we rarely get to practice combat and wielding of power, you always say am not yet ready and that it could be dangerous to me if I attempt it".

"If truly the king is dead, you must maintain your calm. We can't afford for the public to see you weak!" Wilson scolded. "Seriously! Is that what I should be thinking of right now uncle?"

To hell with them! Regal said storming out but was caught halfway by Lily. "Your highness, his majesty's corpse just arrived" she announced calmly.

He had been able to proceed further, pushing the rogues to back away from the territory"."Great, so how long do you think it would take for him to return?" Regal asked, "I don't know prince Regal, from what I heard, the war is far from finished, though your dad has been able to push them back towards the border, the rogues are also not backing down, they are reinforcing and planning a comeback, so for now, you dad, his majesty won't be able to come back."

Ben asked, "They would be down soon" Alex replied, "go have breakfast, because am not stopping by any restaurant to get fast food" Ben ordered with his eyebrows arcing up. Rachel and Mitchell ran down the stair following Alex as, Mitchell adjusted her backpack behind her, while Rachel was still struggling to stuff some books into it."Seriously" Alex replied almost rolling her eyes, "don't you dare roll those eyes young lady, and yeah, I mean it, no more fast food for breakfast, so go and have breakfast.""

The story of Cinderella.Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't perfect, yeah! For instance, how Ben kept getting on Alex's nerves for brushing her teeth without washing her face, or like when the girls found out that Ben had a very deep interest in painting but was very terrible at it.Once, he attempted to paint Mitchell, she was so excited that she sat still for hours as she had herself drawn by Ben only for her to get a blunder! Paint poured all over the paper, and still, it didn't look like her. And if you were not careful enough you would think it was some child playing around with paint on the paper, you wouldn't even imagine that was supposed to be a human being's image.It became a horror to the girls for Ben to purpose to draw them. Ben's food was also terrible, my apologies, I was being nice, it was a n

"You look so tensed Jess, try and ease up with a smile," Ben said to Jessica. "You too Ben, ease up, your face looks terrible" Jessica replied and all of them laughed it off.At exactly 9 am, they were ushered into the office to see the Judge. "Hello girls" the judge greeted cheerfully, "Good morning ma" they chorused in response, "Do have a sit," she said, gesturing to a set of sofas at the other side of her office.

It's been about three weeks since they came here, usually, they had their meals out, or made orders for them to be delivered to them at home, but today of all days, Ben decided to cook. Looks like he woke up at the best side of the bed, or not!"Do you even sleep?" Alex mumbled rubbing sleep from her eyes as she walked past Ben who was mixing pancake batter on the dining table"Is that your way of saying good morning?" Ben asked with a feing frown. "Am sorry, good morning Ben" Alex apologized and greeted. "Good Alex said patting her head while taking the batter back into the kitchen."You woke up earlier today, it's just a few minutes past eight, have you brushed your teeth," Ben asked, "yep, why do you ask, does my breath stink?"

Ben could hear the sound of their footstep as they walked together coming down the stair, okay now he had to admit it, he would have to get used to hearing more lousy footsteps, more chatting and who knows what more.Ben lifted his eyes from his laptop to watch four beautiful girls walk past him, each greeting him as they took a sit at the dining table. "Hi Ben" they greeted, "hi girls" he replied after they were all seated. "So what's for breakfast?" Alex asked while the three other girls just sat quietly, it was going to take a little more time before they get used to him, and Ben was ready to give them that time to get to know him."Alex, do you know what time it is?" Ben asked, Alex looked at the clock to check the time but Ben didn't even wait to hear the response, "I don't think you should be asking for breakfast any

After they left Greta's place, they all entered the car and remained very quiet like they were afraid that Ben would change his mind and just send them back.Ben tried raising a conversation to help them relax, but it looks like he wasn't so good at easing people's tension by talking or chatting because the girls remained quietly composed, giving the necessary answers to his questions and then going back mute.Frustrated, Ben just let them be and quietly concentrated on his driving. They entered holandis the next day in the mid-morning Ben drove for about two hours before he drove into an estate and pulled up at the front of his house_ a classic storey building. He came down and opened the gate before driving in.The house was fenced, the front yard was lined with well-trimmed carpet grass and at one side an unkem

Ben thought, 'how bad could Greta have treated them or..., It couldn't have been Alex's fault! She was a well-behaved girl". Though Ben had known Alex for only a short time he felt like she was someone he could vouch for. 'she is a well-behaved girl, even when children her age would have cried, thrown a tantrum when things weren't going their way, she was strong and took it all in, she didn't leave like Greta said, that only means Greta lied to cover up something.' I can't risk leaving her here another day, if she asked for these girls to come with her, then they are probably very close friends, if this is the condition then it's fine with me.' This thought ran through Ben's mind, and in a matter of seconds, he had reached his conclusion."Yeah?" Rachel answered on their behalf, "how about you girls come wit
