Alina

The room allocated to Lea was spacious with an open balcony, a sitting area, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in closet. The bed in the center of the room was on an elevated platform which was surrounded by the pond on three sides and there were steps on one side to climb to the bead.

Cute golden fishes were floating in the pond. And the green wines acted as a decoration on the balcony walls.

The ceiling was painted with a dragon flying in circles and the room was painted in pastel colour.

The pillars had huge white curtains which acted as a divider between the sitting area and the bedroom and in the sitting area, there was a fireplace opposite the chairs and table giving a warm vibe.

Looking at the room Lea was mesmerised.

"I hope the room is to your liking young miss".

"It's really beautiful Allen, I really like it"

Listening to Lea's reply Allen gave a small smile and then continued "There are some fresh sets of clothes and toiletries in the closet. If you need anything else please let me know, and I will get it arranged".

Lea nodded in understanding and after that Allen took his leave to go on with his other works.

"I must say Aunty has taken a liking to you"

"Why do you say that?"

"This is one of the best guest rooms in the palace, do you think Allen will a lot it to just anyone ha?"

Lea just said "Ho…" in answer not understanding what else to say, just as Lea was wondering she felt someone pull the hem of her trousers.

When she looked down she she saw a puppy leaning on her leg, trying to get her attention.

When the puppy sensed the attention on itself it looked up at Lea and gave a cute bark.

Lea picked up the cute puppy from the floor as she asked "Hey cutie what's your name".

As if answering her question the puppy barked twice making Lea laugh.

Then Lea turned to Liam and Alisha standing on the side and asked "Do you guys know who the owner of this puppy is?"

"No, I am seeing it for the first time in the palace" Just as Alisha answered, the people in the room heard a young girl's voice from the entrance of the room that said,

"I am Misty's owner, my grandmother gifted her to me".

All three of them turned to the source of the voice, and then looking at the person Alisha was surprised.

"Alina, when did you come back?".

"Hey sis… I came back a few minutes ago and wanted to show this naughty one to you and Mom but she jumped out of my hand and ran away" Alina answered still taking deep breaths trying to calm her racing heart from all the running.

Looking at her state Alisha just laughed lightly and turned towards Lea as she placed her hand on Alina's shoulders,

"She is my younger sister Alina"

"Nice to meet you, Alina. I am Leona" Lea said with a beautiful smile as she extended her hand for a handshake.

Alina looked up at Lea and shook her hand as there was a flash of excitement in her hazel-colored eyes and a small blush crept up her cheek.

"Hello, beautiful sister. It's nice meeting you".

Lea laughed lightly looking at the young girl and then bent down lightly to hand the puppy back to the girl.

"This is a cute puppy you have there"

The puppy bark happily in Alina's arms listening to the praise.

"Isn't she beautiful sister… her coat is so soft" Alina spoke enthusiastically then pointed to the collar and said, "I designed it myself, is it nice?".

"Yes, it is very nice" Lea answered with a smile on her face.
