Chapter 548 - Five Hundred And Forty-Nine: Time To Leave (1/2)
The third point of view:
A week later....
Niklaus' place was a hub of activities as everyone hurried to get their things packed.
”Oh yeah,” Reina was on the phone with Emily while at the same time directing the maids on the bags to load into the car.
”At this rate, we'll arrive in six or seven hours. The children are a mess,” Reina sighed.
It was partially her fault anyway, if only she had woken up on time. But then, she and Niklaus had been busy with sexy times. Her beast of a husband had claimed that there would be no time nor privacy to, you know, do it and so they went at it as if they were stockpiling sex for the rainy days. God, her hips still hurt. It was a miracle she could still walk.
”I can't wait to see you guys, sometimes, it gets so boring at the palace,” Emily complained.
”Well, soon, you'd be getting enough of me and the kids,” Just hope you don't get scared soon.
”And by the way,” Reina remembered least she forgets, ”Send me the crimes punishable by death in Lincolnshire,”
”Huh?” Emily was stunned, ”Why would you ask that?” she couldn't understand.
”Else my kids commit one unknowingly. As a matter of fact, you of all people know how expressive Isabella is. I fear for this trip greatly,” Reina told her.
”Nothing is going to happen,” Emily assured her, ”It's just for the wedding, what's the worst that can happen?”
”A lot could happen,” Reina intentionally didn't voice that one out loud.
”But then, if you're so worried, then I'll let you know that such punishment only involves treason, insulting the royal family and stealing from royalty. That's pretty much all and I think you're safe. The kids are good,” Emily was sure even when the mother wasn't.
There was no way her kids would plot against royalty, Reina was sure of that. Insulting a royal, she wasn't so sure about that but she'll call them to order. Stealing things from royalty, well Allen had the tendency to borrow, not take.
”What about my brother, Niklaus?”
”Wrapping up things at the company, he'd join us on the way. That is if he's at the hangar already,”
Reina resented the fact that her husband was already gone even before she woke up. How could someone have such stamina?
”Mom help!”
Reina heard her name from downstairs and sighed. These children will be the death of her.
”I'm coming!” She shouted away from the cellphone, then said into it, ”Alright, Emily, I have to go. See you when I get there,”
”Sure. My kisses to the kids,”
”Same to Akim,”
The call ended and Reina rushed to the kid's room to see what was going on.
”What is it?”
”Mom, Isabella won't let me come along with this bag,” Allen complained and tried to lift the luggage but grunted instead.
”Isabella, what's the problem?”
”Why don't you check the bag first?” she told her.
Filled with curiosity, Reina lifted the luggage but was stunned at the heaviness, ”Geez, Allen, what did you pack in here?”
”Just a few things here and there,” Allen said without looking her in the eyes and that was when Reina suspected he was hiding something.
”Mom, it's just -”
Reina didn't listen to him and opened the bag, she was stunned, ”What's all this?”
