leaving the castle

After giving my new-found siblings and Hansel a gem, we decided to leave the castle which was now in ruins for the better.

While the distance between the castle of Garnnet and my comrades and I grew, I noticed that the little ones could not manage another day or so without rest,shelter, and food to eat so Hansel and I decided to go to the city of Aquafineska, to look for a place of we could live in.

Big sis Nat, Fiona called, how are we going to get to Aquafineska? , if we were to walk it would tak at least four days but if we took one of the carriages the goat beard man drive we would arrive by tomorrow afternoon. It only to a couple of seconds before I could let what fiona said sink in but giat bearded man, who......I thought to myself, Um Fiona who might I ask is the goat bearded man you are speaking about? , to which fiona answered, the tall goldfish man who has a horse and carriage business , he drives the carriages along with his sons Lukas and Jonathan. Then it finally clicked Lukas and Jonathan were Mr. Lutrell's son he was the has a carriage business near the capital of Garnnet, Hansel, Fiona come along since we are already in the capital of Garnnet which was I knew as Jasper , it's a very popular place where the most exquisite cuisine is served, the music is a pleasantry to the ears of country and town's folk and it is also a place where the most profits are generated .

No wonder Mr.Lutrells business is so popular, just look at how beautiful this place is , I'm quite jealous of the people who get to live here and see this amazing city capital, for I have only been here once and that was when i was 6 years of age. After regaining my composure and I had stopped being so awe struck by my country's capital I recalled what I came here to do I rounded up the children and then ran as fast as physically possible as I was able to do as myself to the carriage business, but bythe time we arrived at Mr. Lutrell's business place called Trivia Horse and carting, it was already five noon, I hurriedly knocked on the door and asked for the owner of the establishment and gave my royal code name to which Mr. Lutrell came out almost immediately when he realized who came to pay him a visit he smiled brightly for princess Natalie was patiently awaiting his arrival on the other side of the door.

Uncle Lute I really need to get to Aquafineska, I have urgent business awaiting me there please if you can, give us a ride to a place that we may have both food and shelter. Uncle Lute thought for a while before saying yes, so does "us" include the three little one's and Hansel?, he asked , yes yes the three children, Hansel and I please . Uncle Lute took us to the back and gave us a ride to Aquafineska in one of the best carriage's he had. We arrived at our destination point in 15 hours .

On the way to Aquafineska I told him about what had happened and how I managed to escape all while rescuing the children and healing their wounds. Whhen Uncle Lute heard that Nana aka the former Queen Liliana his best friend had died his face grew bitter and silence prolonged him but although he went silent I continued to speak about bout the death of my elder sister and my mother the now deceased Queen of Garnett. So hold a minute Natty who in the world did this to your family?' why didn't they choose to ruin the kingdom instead?, I find it strange that the secretly caused calamity in the castle but did not touch the captain and the people of Garnnet, I find it Reaalllll strange my dear but, I do hope that whatever you may be plotting to do to revive or to help your kingdom please be safe and beeee.... Precise ok my dear, Yes Uncle Lute I'll have to find my brother's first for my plan to commence that's if those old dodder head kings don't come and try to claim me as a bride after destroying my castle and leaving it in ruins. I hope it doesn't come to that for if it does it'll be the day I'll off myself and also the day the people who once smiled with me would cry. Oh my look at that while we were conversing about trivial matters the children have all gone to sleep hahahaha hey uncle doesn't this scene feel familiar to you and he nodded his head in agreement and chuckled saying well would you look at that reminds me of when you and my boys would join me in mini adventures in the castle when you lot were younger oh look at how time flies.

Shortly after remenessing with Uncle Lute, I found that I myself was also getting tired and took a short nap.

I woke up to the sound of Hansel shouting, FINALLLLYY we are here he said rejoicingly, we can now look for the eldest and youngest prince and also princess Nat can we also look for a proper place to stay, where we wont be drawing attention to ourselves. well I knew Hansel was a intelligent but he was only 12 years old, but what he did say was true we dont need anyone knowing that a princess is residing in the king of NoEn's territory how awful would that be.

Uncle Lute thankyou for bringing us here it's all thanks to you that we have made it this far. but before he left he gave my 1.6 billion cheroks or 2.4 billion dollars in Aquafineskan dollars gave me a thumbs up and left.

Uncle Lute dropped us of on scallion road where vendors populated it as if there was carnival was happening.

I told Hansel to hold Fiona's hand while I held the boys In my hand we walked down scallion road admiring the set up of the vendor they offered us fish to buy, jewelry, makeup and other gadgets gizmos and pets. At the end of the road we I bumped into an old man who was carrying water buckets and I asked him if he knew of any Inn's that would house the five of us or more and the old man said I'll show you the way but you , can you help me carry these buckets of water to my home which I did agree to help him I gave baby Kason to Hansel and baby Malcolm to his sister and I told them to watch the babies and stick together , DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE STRANGE and do not care for if anyone not trustworthy has to say to you.

The old man whose name was Naomi had twelve more buckets of water to carry home it only took 10 minutes for me to finish carrying the buckets along he thanked me but giving the children and I something to drink for it was hot and then he showed me the way to the inn I thanked him then he left.

The Innkeeper told me that it was 12 aqua dollars per night but 250 aqua dollars per month, I had more than enough money to stay here for a whole year the innkeeper also said that break fast will be served each morning at 7 a.m no added charges the bath is on the second floor on the left for women and children. The bathes will be open until 12 midnight and the doors to the inn will be closed at 11 p.m sharp and will not be opened until 6:30 a.m the next day. I paid the innkeeper 1500 checkrockes which amounted to 3000 aqua dollars to stay in Aquafineska for 1year.

The innkeep gave us a nice room it had three bedrooms, the first bedroom had 2 beds and a clothes closet in it, the second roome had two baby beds and a really big bed in it which could hold 5 people in it it also had a close closet , two windows, the third bedroom had two large beds and it was the largest room but aside from having bedrooms we had a kitchen and a dining room. I thanked the innkeeper once again and then sat down and rested until the next day.
