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.

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

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.

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.

(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.
