Professor MacPherson fixed his gaze on Ayla and said, “I should ask you the question.” “I have been awake before now,” Ayla said, and sat down beside Professor MacPherson on the couch. “Alright. How was the night?” professor MacPherson said. “It was fine, dad. Where is mum?” Ayla said. “She is in the kitchen,” professor MacPherson said. “I guessed as much. I need to brush my teeth now,” Ayla said and stood up from the couch. “I haven’t brushed my teeth either,” professor MacPherson said, and the twosome walked towards the bathrooms. When Professor MacPherson got to the bathroom, he clutched his toothbrush and toothpaste. He applied a little toothpaste to the toothbrush and brushed his teeth. He kept the toothbrush and walked out of the bathroom. When Professor MacPherson got to the sitting room, he could see Ayla and Charlotte sitting on a couch.

I need to have my bath now,” Charlotte said and stood up from the couch. “Alright, mum,” Ayla said. “Make sure you clear this table,” Charlotte said. “I will do that, mum; I need to rest,” Ayla said. “Alright,” Charlotte said and walked away. “It’s time to go to the sitting room,” professor MacPherson said. He stood up from the chair and stretched his body. “Alright, dad; I will join you soon,” Ayla said. “I shall be waiting for you…,” professor MacPherson said and walked away. Ayla stood up from the chair, she yawned and walked towards the kitchen. When she got to the kitchen, she clutched a tray and walked towards the doorway. When s

Keep driving,” Charlotte said. At exactly 8:35 am, Professor MacPherson parked his car in front of Charles’ house. “We are at our destination!” professor MacPherson said with a smile. “Glory be to God. I thought it would take eternity before we got here,” Charlotte said with a sigh. “One needs to be patient in life to achieve a lot…,” professor MacPherson said and Charlotte cut in. “It’s okay, professor; I don’t remember you told me you are now one of the cheap motivational speakers,” Charlotte said. “You are not serious. Please, open the door gently or do you need my service?” professor MacPherson said. “You had better face your own business,” C

That’s too soon,” Alfred said. “The king needs our attention at the palace, so you don’t expect me to spend the whole day cooking the food,” Sarah said, still standing. “Boys, I think we have to eat now,” Alfred said and stood up from the couch. “Alright, dad,” the juveniles chorused and stood up simultaneously. “Alfred, I hope you have told others about the king’s summons?” Sarah said as everyone walked towards the dining room. “Yeah; that was the first thing I did today,” Alfred said. When they got to the dining room, they sat down on different chairs and Sarah dished out the food. “Mum, I have always enjoyed your food,” Liam said. “Yeah; mum is a good cook,” Davies said. “That’s undoubtable!” Alfred said amid the fo

We are sorry for keeping you waiting,” Alfred said with a head bow. “We are so sorry, our king,” Sarah said and bowed her head. King Rehoboth stood up from the throne, he cleared his throat and walked towards Alfred and Sarah. “We should have been angry, but you have been forgiven before now. What caused the delay?” King Rehoboth said and gazed at Sarah and Alfred’s faces simultaneously. “Nothing tangible, our king!” Alfred said. “Alright. You can sit down now,” King Rehoboth said. “Thank you, our king,” Sarah and Alfred chorused and sauntered towards two empty chairs. King Rehoboth moved closer to his throne, he clutched his office staff and sat down on the throne. “I am so sorry for the delay caused before the commencement of this

I think Sarah and Alfred should go for the rescue mission since the twosome are compatible!” King Rehoboth said. “You are right, my king; Alfred and Sarah should go for the rescue mission!” queen Eden said. “Sarah and Alfred, please, stand up!” King Rehoboth said and paused for the twosome to stand up. He then continued, “I know you two will fit the assignment. Please, make sure Queen Caroline and Hazel come here alive.” “My king, we will definitely bring the queen and her daughter back to the palace alive! Besides, the queen was a nice person when she was here,” Alfred said. “Yeah, my king!” Sarah said. “Thank you very much. Please, sit down,” King Rehoboth said. “Long live the king!!” Alfred and Sarah said and sat down. “When will you go for the rescue mission?” King Rehoboth said and gazed

(my old woman),” Sarah said and changed into an old woman with a walking stick. “Oh, my God; mum had changed!” Davies said frightfully, but Sarah ignored him. Sarah held Alfred’s hand and said, “Nunc nos tolle Sparta; rex Achillis thalamum suum esse precise! (Now take us to Sparta; king Achilles’ inner chamber to be precise). “Mum and dad are gone!” Davies screamed after Alfred and Sarah had vanished from sight. “Am I dreaming?” Liam said and used his left palm to clean his face. “So we have been living with powerful people these few days?” Ethan said. “I never believed one

Beside her were broken bottles and escaped water. “Hello!!” Sarah said as she hit Queen Caroline’s hand. Queen Caroline opened her eyes; she could see the saviors and Hazel standing close to her. “Oh, my God; who are these strangers?” queen Caroline said after she stood up from the floor. “Calm down, queen Caroline…,” Alfred said and queen Caroline cut in. “You even know my name?” queen Caroline said. “Yeah, I do. We aren’t here to hurt you. You have to follow us,” Alfred said. “How do you expect me to follow those I don’t know; that’s unheard of!” Queen Caroline said. Sarah smiled and said, “Queen Caroline, you have to obey us, even if it’s for once. Now, hold Hazel’s hand.
