Chapter 44 – The Queen and Other Royal Arrangements

 

Giselle groaned obviously not wanting to enter the castle before her. However, she didn’t have much of a choice. She followed behind Isaac, her nerves rising and butterflies entering her stomach.

On the upside, the entire view meeting her gaze was breath taking. There was no way anyone could be unsatisfied with the view of the castle. It was far too beautiful and eye grabbing. Giselle found herself being overwhelmed by its beauty.

She glanced at the unicorns, which seemed to be chewing on the rose bushes near them. It made her laugh a little. She didn’t even know Unicorns existed. It now came to her attention that when it came down to the gifted world everything in your wildest dreams existed. Every myth, childhood book, and movie came to life. Zeptoria was the realest unreal thing she had ever been able to witness.

The guards nodded towards Isaac as if they were saying hello and gave Giselle small smiles. It was so odd to her how they seemed so intimidating yet so warm and friendly. She shrugged it off before following Isaac into the castle’s large cherry wooden door.

Once inside Giselle gaped. In front of her was a large room that resembled a living room, except the fanciest one you could think of. Its sofas were a dark red and the walls were a rich golden color. At the ceiling was a large diamond chandelier. On the floor was a rug with a tigers head. Giselle quickly looked away taking in the large wooden book shelves and modern day flat screen taking half the wall.

A clearing of a throat caused Giselle to avert her gaze. A man stood before her, looking oddly like James with a long beard and a butlers outfit. “How may I be of assistance?”

“We are here to see Queen Isadora.” Isaac spoke. “We’re from Gifted Academy.”

“Very well.”

Giselle glanced at his name tag that read Bill taking in his appearance. He looked so much like James that it freaked her out. They could be related right? Who knew? Because she sure didn’t.

“The queen shall be in your presence momentarily.” Bill said. “She is currently in a very important meeting at the other end of the castle.”

“That is fine.” Isaac replied.

“Can I get you anything?” Bill asked.

“No.” Isaac said flatly.

Bill turned to Giselle. She shook her head no.

“Very well, you may have a seat until she arrives.” Bill added. “I’ll be in the kitchen.” It was then that he disappeared through a door nearby.

Giselle didn’t wait to flop down on the sofa and grin to herself before Isaac sat on the opposite couch. “This truly is like a dream.”

Isaac shrugged. “You will soon get used to it.”
