501: Forlorn

Forlorn

  It was a sunny day two days ago and suddenly, it was raining hard. The day was forlorn but somehow, although it looked depressing, she loved it. She looked at the other window seat where Quinn was doing the same. Probably being dramatic that her parents aren't home yet. 

"Oh, that's an adorable thing. She's too young to be lonely." 

  She hopped out from the window seat and approached Quinn. She somehow regretted approaching her because she was watching a movie through the tablet that was on the stand. She's just in her usual mood. 

"Hey, Quinn." 

"Go. Go." She waved her off. 

"Fine." Keira raised her hands and walked back to her window seat. 

  Kal approached Quinn and gave her food. She accepted it and started eating. She was just there, chilling… not a normal baby to do. 

"Okay," Keira went back to the window seat as she continued writing a story. She grinned thinking about Quinn. 

"Tata!" An adorable little girl ran to her. She looked down at Dione wearing a little tiara. 

"What can I do for you, little Princess?" 

  She gave a periwinkle to her and then, she ran to Quinn and took out another periwinkle from her basket. 

"Oh, okay." She looked down at the periwinkle as she looked down at the poem that she was writing. 

  Just when she's busy writing, she feels this odd sensation. Like water went to her nostrils. She quickly ran to get a tissue as she blew her nose. It was painful and she didn't know why she suddenly got that. 

"Love, are you alright?" Sandro asked who was busy with work. 

"Yeah," She nodded her head. "Where's Calli?" 

"She's with dad. Touring her around the castle." 

"Oh," Keira nodded her head as she went back to her seat. She then thought of the Ocean facility as she quickly took her phone and checked it. It was still in the vault. But when she checked around, she saw that there was a gigantic thing roaming around the headquarters. It doesn't harm anyone or break anything. She exhaled as she checked the gigantic creature. So, she quickly called the general in the ocean facility and said that the unidentified thing just appeared out of nowhere and was roaming around. 

  After an hour, it swam away. Keira already took a screenshot as she checked the goggles for that specific fish. It wasn't the biggest whale in the world or a Megalodon. She then checked mythological creatures and it wasn't there. She sighed as she looked at her husband. Then, she quickly looked away. She finally sent it to Andromeda and although she knew that she wouldn't see it quickly. 

"You are quite sneaky," Alessandro said. She turned to him, puzzled. "Who are you chatting with?" he asked as he put down his eyeglasses. 

"Andy," She said without lying. 

"Oh, okay." He continued with his work. 

"Babe, I have to go. Watch over the kids." She quickly leaves the room. 

"Wait," Alessandro called out but she shut the door. "Oh, come on." He looked at the kids. "Okay, kids. Do not interrupt me and do not leave the room. Understand?" 

  They only looked at him as they mind their own business.

  Keira ran to her mother's office. She knocked first and didn't care about the etiquette. 

"Come in." 

  She opened the door and quickly approached her. She didn't notice that there were few people inside. 

"Mom, I need to talk to you." She said and was about to show the creature in the Ocean HeadQuarter when someone cleared his throat. She then looked at Ian, surprised. 

"Hey, Princess." Ian gestured to ministers. 

"Oh, sorry." She held her tablet to her chest. "Maybe some other time?" She asked Karmina. 

"Is it an emergency?" 

"Well, it was in-between emergency and not." She mumbled. 

"Alright," Karmina pointed to Ian. "Please wait outside for a moment." 

"Okay," Ian gestured to the three ministers as they left the Queen's room. 

  Karmina looked up at her daughter to focus on her. Then, she showed her the big creature swimming around the Ocean. Karmina looked at it closely and looked up at her. 

"You have the stone there?" She asked. 

  Keira zipped her mouth which means that she had it in there. She nodded her head. 

"Dragon mentioned to me that he would visit there a few times. There will be more of it. Like in the myth book. They wanted to make sure that it was safe. So, you don't have to worry, darling." 

"Dragon mentioned it?" Keira leaned on the desk. 

"Yes. Your sister is currently busy with the other stones, that's why she and Connor have to spend their Honeymoon away. It's quite thrilling." 

"Okay," She nodded her head. 

"And, dear. After you leave the country, would you mind checking on something for me?" 

"Sure," She nodded her head. Then, she showed a photo of a woman. Thin, white, and sexy. "This is Jeremy Cha. You will meet him in a few days. She will attend a few parties." 

"Are you serious about his face?" 

"Yes. He changed everything from head to toe." 

"Oh," She nodded her head. "Why?" 

"Just chat with him, or something. They plan something about the Golden Age and the Golden Age is yours to take care of. Since it's yours." 

"Fine," She hugged her mother and took her tablet. "Thank you, I will rush up." 

  Keira opened the door and ran upstairs. 

"No, running. Keira!" Ian called out. 

"I'm busy!" She shouted.

  Guinevere was supposed to be at work but she wanted to help out Jade by moving in with her. They decorate Jade's room according to her likes and no matter how expensive it was, she wanted to give her best to the girl. She even gave her a jewelry box with ballet in a swan outfit. She loves ballet and dancing so she signed her up in a ballet class and martial arts as her sports. 

"Do you plan to marry Ace?" She suddenly asked while they were currently hanging new clothes in her very own walk-in closet. 

"Sure, but at this moment… I haven't thought of marriage yet." 

"He seemed so in love with you." Jade grinned. 

  Guinevere's lips curled up as she thought about it. It's been maybe a year or so. She doesn't remember how long they were together but she enjoys every moment that they are together. She doesn't want to count the days that they are together as she only wanted to be with him for a very long time. Probably until she dies. 

"So, how did you guys meet?" Jade asked. 

  Guinevere told her exactly how they met. Ace was kind of teasing her a lot. She just gets used to it as she falls in love with him. Jade's eyes sparkle while listening to her. They chatted more as they organized her study table. Jade loves stationery and so was Guinevere. She bought her mini-laptop that she can use for school and a desktop that she could use to study more. She even bought an ergonomics table that had built-in plugs and that can be adjusted from up and down through the buttons. She somehow realized that she loves spending her money not just for herself but for someone that she could call her daughter. 

  Ace stood by the door and he knocked. They stopped chatting as the girls turned to him.  2

"Hi, it seems that the two of you get along well." 

"We are." Guinevere winked at him. 

"Great." He chuckled. "Anyway, I have to escort the highnesses back to the Philippines." 

"Oh, how about Kal?" Guinevere asked. "He will be sad." 

"He will stay longer with Violet and Victor." 

"And Quinn?" 

"She will fly with us." 

"On a rainy day?" She asked again. 

"It won't rain tomorrow. But, I am happy to buy anything you girls want." 

"I will text you everything I want," Guinevere said. 

"Same," Jade added as the two giggled as they checked the computer. 

"Okay," Ace somehow felt a little left out. Did he just adopt someone that would take Guinevere's attention from him? But anyway, he's always away and he doesn't mind. "Okay. I'm leaving!" He said aloud. 

"Take care." Guinevere waved him off as they continued with whatever they were doing. 

  After they organized everything in the room. They went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. Snacks. They plan to bake some cookies and biscuits for the kids. They weren't tired from organizing the room for five hours. It was short since the maids helped them out. 

"Jade!" Yves and Jaime called out. Jade waved her hands at the boys while Yves was in the wheelchair. "Wow, your house is big." 

"This is just the guest house, boys." 

"Are you really living here?" Jaime asked. "We will miss you." 

"We can face off," Jade said as she continued decorating cupcakes. 

"Yeah~~" Jaime nodded her head. "We are not able to prank Gray the same way." 

  Guinevere stopped as she put her hand over her waist. 

"Wait~~you guys are pranking, Gray? How?" 

  They all laughed as Jade covered her mouth.
