chapter eleven: dinner of hell

"it been a while since we been here, your mother made no changes at all. I'm glad she didn't." my dad says as we reach my old house where i used to live. i saw the garage open with boxes packed up. my mom was moving out of this house? 

"is mom moving out of the house?" i questioned and looked at my dad as he got out the car. the prince got out next as Jordan and Leon got out tot he side of the doors. i got out last and the prince grabbed my hand gripping it tightly. Jordan closes the car door and nodded at the driver. the driver nodded back and drove away. my dad started to walk to the house and we followed right behind him. i saw the garage close and then movement at the front door. the door opened to see my auntie and my dad froze in place as he reached the front door. 

"Hey, Richie! oh maria, how are you?" my aunite said and she walked up to me but Jordan got in her way. my aunite stopped and frowned. what is my aunite doing here? i love my aunite but she can be a little crazy sometimes just like just now. 

"Fran, leave Maira alone. just go home and thanks for helping me pack and cook. i think you've helped enough." my moms ay now at the frame of the doorway. my aunite sghed and turned around went back in the house. my dad cleared his throat and he walked in the house as my mom gestured us enter. the prince gripped my hand tighter with Jordan in fornt of me and Leon behind me. my mom closed the door and dad sat at the living room which was full of boxes packed up and labeled. 

"what going on here honey, your packing up and moving?" my dad questioned ferous but confused. i saw my auntie packing her food she packs for herself and her purse. i sat down on the couch see the table was set up and perfect. the prince sat next to me and still held my hand tight. Jordan and Leon stayed standing near me and the prince. 

"I'll explain everthing over dinner dear, come eat. everything is seat up." my mom says and she went to the front door where my auntie was leaving. my dad sighed and got up from the couch. the prince and i followed as Jordan and Leon relaxed. they followed my dad to the table and i sat down near the end where my dad sat at the end. the prince let go of my hand and sat next to me as Jordan and Leon sat across from us. it a six-person table with two extra chairs for the ends. my mom was all about we need extra just in case. my mom came back from locking the door and sitting at the other end of the table. 

"so before i explain what going on i want to know what been going on with you dear, maria?" my mom questioned and my dad sighed. he knows my mom is up to something and it can be good or bad. the dad stood up and started to grab food for me. he grabbed my plate and gestured the prince, Jordan, and Leon to start getting food. my mom started to get her own food. there was a lot and with my auntie's help i sure my mom cooked too much. my aunite did take some home. 

"well i work for the king and it great. it likes the work i did for the city but it a lot more different and harder. i love it though. maria, on the other hand, has her princess duties." my dad says and my mom nodded and looked at me. my dad gave me my plate of food and started to grab his own. the prince, Jordan, and Leon got done grabbed their food too as they started to eat. 

"I'm getting used to it dad by dad. i have a mother in law by my side as i do my princess duties but sooner or later I'll be alone doing them. beforehand i got married to the prince." i say as i started to eat. my dad got done grabbed his food and sat back down. my mom was eating her food slowly. my mom looked at the prince who sipped his water. 

"We did a traditional wedding but i didn't want the princess to wear a Victorian dress which was important. i let her choose her own dress, i don't want to force princess into the culture i grew up in." the prince says and looked at my mom with a smile. my [ut a smile on her face glad I'm not forced into anything. 

"i saw it on t.v. it was a long process but I'm happy for you. has the queen been teaching you how to do princess duties until now? I'm just glad there someone there for you. i believe you lived with your dad for a while but now your living on your own?" my mom questioned and i sipped my water and nodded. 

"the prince's pack live there too but me and prince too. it, not a bad place, we have a good view of the village so we can see the castle nearby us," i say and my mom nodded as she continuted to eat. i was eatting slowly and clean. i can tell the prince, Jordan and Leon were used to eatting as they grew up in the north. 

"the pack also protects the north, it very important that we live with the prince. we do have mates but it more important that we live with the prince. our mates live near us in a cabin or in the village near the Maison we live in." Jordan says and wiped his mouth. Leon nodded as he sipped his water. 

"all pack members are all around 19 to 21. they all have mates, i let them see them when they want to and some of them actually live with them so not all the pack members live i the mansion for correction Jordan." the prince says and Jordan cleared his throat as he almost choked on his water. 

"sorry alpha, that right," Jordan says and i shook my head and took a small bite of my bread. my dad put butter on it for me which was the father of him. my mom was just taking in the words as she never lives or set foot in the north. 

"so the meetings, i saw them on t/v as you meet the public right? can we talk about that?" my mom questioned and looked at me and prince changing the subject. the prince looked at me and i nodded giving him permission to talk. the prince wiped his mouth and spoke up after putting his fork down. 

"The meeting is great but i do worry about the princess being overwhelmed. i know she still young and not used to the crowds. it not like school where she grew up in." the prince says and my mom looked supirsed. "the princess rarely speaks and i don't feel like she should be forced to speak. i want the princess to be uncomfortable during the meetings." the princess says and looks at me with a smile. i can tell he wanted to say 'i signal' but he stops and said something else. I'm glad he did. 

"i see, maria does hate crowds and I'm glad you're not forcing her to not speak. i bet the questions are crazy personal. i would do the same, thank you for that." my mom says and smiled at the prince. "you also go to parties too? i bet maria meet important people, it good for maria to meet new people." my mom says and looks at me. 

"i do meet important people. i am part of a royal family now so it needed and plus i guess i am learning how to be an adult by learning how to talk in a proper matter," i say and my mom nodded impressed. i can tell she was glad I'm at least learning to be a proper adult. she always prepped me when i live here before i turned 18.

"We did live in the castle for a while before we moved officially to the mansion we live in. the princess meets my parents first and there we planned the wedding together. after the wedding, we moved to my mansion." the prince says and he put his hands on his lap. "the village is not far from my mansion so my mother and the princess shop often as they meet up sometimes." the prince says and my mom looked supirsed again. 

"wow, let me guess that bag you brought in with you is stuff you bought for me from the north?" my mom questioned and looked at the big brown bag on the couch. i didn't forget about my mom while living in the north and i did buy presents for her. i nodded and my dad goes up from his seat to grab the bag from the living room. 

"i wouldn't forget about your mom. these are what i picked and mother in law picked that she wanted you to see as these things you can't find in the city," i say and my mom grabbed the bag from my dad as he gave it to her. my dad sat back down and my mom opened the bag and saw the presets. she looked supirsed but happy. 

"thank you, honey, I'll make a pack for mother in law to so she can see things she can't buy in the north." my mom says and put the bag on the ground next to her. we were all almost done eating and a lot of food leftover. "so about the wedding and princess duties, can you tell me about it?" my mom questioned and she looked at me with a smile. i looked at the prince and he nodded giving me permission.

"starting with my princess duties..i do a lot of paperwork, important paperwork. i meet people at privte meetings i have. i meet kids and family that help he north. i have my private study next to the prince's study." i say and look at my mom. "the wedding was beautiful. the honeymoon was more beautiful." i say and my mom nodded and sipped her water. 

"it was at a new island i purchase for a vacation home. there are pther islands nearby us so we get interesting and fresh food giving to us. it was the same with the wedding. i got good farms to send us fresh food and the chelf i have hired did a good job cooking for us." the prince said and he grabbed my hand from under the table. he squeezed my hand tight. 

"that good to hear. you care about your staff very well, I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure Richie loves not cleaning and cooking for himself in the castle." my mom says and looked at my dad. my dad rolled his eyes. "what about kids? any plans for that?" my mom questioned and i froze. the prince cleared his throat before he spoke up. 

"well were working on it. i don't want to force princess into it if she not ready." the prince says and he looked at me. he knows he has to say it but at the same time, my dad had a look as he knew it already happened. 

"good, i don't want my daughter to be forced into anything she doesn't feel like she into. so kids soon then? that's good to hear." my mom says and i looked at Jordan who shook his head and he also knew we already knew we were trying to keeping it safe. Leon was the same. just then my mom got up from her seat. "okay let clean up and then we'll all sit in the living room. I'll explain everything to you guys especially since i want to get this out my chest." my mom grabbed her plate and cup of water. i did the same and got up from my seat. my mom has a lot of explaining to do. 

*****

it took us thirty minutes to clean up. we had to put the plates and the cup in the box for 'moving' and some for 'giving away'. we all sat in the living room together with the prince by my side and my dad near me. my mom sat down on the recliner chair. Jordan and Leon were standing behind the couch. 

"Okay so to start i got promoted and now work with the mayor. i travel often and now home often enough to clean. now that you and your father are gone i gave it some thought about moving to a single apartment but i miss you both. i decided to move to the north with you. i already talk to the mayor and somehow talk to the king of the north. i wanted to surprise you but i learned you were coming here for a few days. i hope i explained myself well enough." my mom says and we were all shocked. 

"so you're moving to the north? what made you change your mind?" my dad questioned and my mom sighed as she knew my dad was going to ask questions. the prince looked at me smiling. the prince leans in and whispered in my ear. 

"I'm happy for you, looks like my mom is going to have a new best friend." i chuckled and the prince kissed my head. i smiled at this. rein will be happy to meet my mom. she asks me questions from time to time about my mom. i answer but at the same time, i wish my mom was with us. 

"i just want us to be a family again, i gave my action some thoughts and i regret it. now i want to start over and be a family again. it's time i move on dear." my mom says and my dad smiled and he got up from his seat. what my dad did after supirsed all of us. he carried my mom off her feet and kissed her many times.

"dear! wha-" my mom yelped and my dad kissed her sweetly and put her down. "you really are crazy and plus were in front of kids. can you not kiss me in front of them." my mom says and she giggled as my dad kissed her cheek.

"i know but I'm happy, you don't know how many times i wish you were there right by my side." my dad says with a smile on his face. i scoffed and leaned against the prince who was smiling seeing my dad happy for once. he always tells me my dad always looks sad and lonely. sometimes he wishes my mom came to her senses. looks like my dad's dreams came through. 

"you're not going to be lonely anymore dear, now help me pack. we need to pack a few things to bring back and also help me give away a few things too. i was planning to give them to a charity, what you think?" my mom says and my dad nodded as he hugged my mom tight. i got up from my seat and went to my parents. 

"It looks like dad's room will be a little cleaner now. i have been in there and it a mess, also mom don't worry about cooking and cleaning the whole castle. just relax beside the queen probably wants a personal assistant for herself. you have a lot of work ahead of you." i say and my mom smiled and pulled me into the hug. 

"so my father knows your coming at the same time after our trip here?" the prince questioned and looked at my mom. we all pull away from each other and my dad kissed my head pulling me into a small hug. my mom was fixing her clothes and her hair. 

"yes he knows, i told him to keep it a secret but i guess it was best to let it outright at the moment." my mom says and she smiled at the prince. Leon looked at Jordan and they both relaxed buy jumping on the couch which took the prince by surprise. 

"We can help you too, we can carry tings pout to the car is needed," Leon says and my mom looked surprised as she looked at my dad who nodded. "also can we get a tour of the house? I'm kind of curious about how the princess lived here in the city." Leon says after looking around the house. 

"of course, you can tour them, right sweetie. i can take your dad of your hands and he can help me pack up some more." my mom says and i looked at my dad who let go of me. i walked to the prince and grabbed his hand pulling him away from my parents who are talking about to pack and give away.

(Prince William's perspective) 

the princess pulled me away from her parents who are just talking away and looking through the boxes. I'm happy for the princess that her parents are back. Jordan and Leon were behind us and acting like cool guys. they relax after they found out the princess's mom is safe and not dangerous. the princess pulled me to the stairs and i rolled my eyes. 

"Okay okay, princess, where we going?" i asked and looked at the princess as we all walked up the stairs. the princess right away let go of my hand and jogged ahead of me. she stopped at a room with her name on it. it was a simple size chalk sigh and looks like the chalk was rubbing off slowly. 

"my old room, it kind of small unlike the mansion and castle rooms but it had enough space for me as i don't need that much space." the princess said and she opened her room door. i sighed and looked at Jordan who shook his head. Leon scoffed and we all made it to the princess's room. she was right about the size being small. I'm used to my big room so this was different for me. there were boxes near the small desk. looks like a computer was packed up and 'giving away' was on the box. there was an I'm guessing a twin size bed with boxes with covers and pillows. there was 'giving away' on the box as well. 

"It looks like mm pack up the stuff i won't miss so i got a head start to help her pack up later." the princess says and she went to her desk and picked up her desk lam and unplugged it. she put it in the box with her computer. i smiled and looked around. the princess had her own bathroom in her room, i walked in the bathroom and it as smaller than her room. there were more boxes full of garbage of plastic and boxes. there was bathroom stuff that the princess's mom decided to throw away as they are expired for sure. 

"you lived in this room for 18 years? i can't believe you lived in such a small room. i would freak out just staying here an hour." Leon says and i rolled my eyes. Jordan scoffed as he walked out to her balcony which was small too but can fit three people. there was a chair with a small table there so i guess the princess did her homework out there too. it had a nice view of the city as the princess lived on a hill. 

"i didn't grow up rich ad had everything handled for me. this was the best my parents could afford until they got promoted to work in the city hall. we didn't want to move so we stayed here but we upgraded the house more and more as we made a second space for a car expanded the kichen since we have a big backyard at one point." the princess said and looked at Leon. i walked up to the princess and hugged her by her waist. 

"their good memories in here, can we talk about it?" i questioned and looked at the princess. Jordan walked back in my room and he leans against the balcony frame. Leon and Jordan were now interested and the princess rolled her eyes. 

"okay well for one, William doesn't get mad but this is where i had my first kiss." the princess says and turns around to face me. "two, this was my baby room and my dad changed it to my personal room as i got older. my bed never changed position and of course, i got bigger beds over time." the princess said and i raised my eyes brows. 

"what about the computer, were you always a tec person? i heard of them but never seen them in person." Leon questioned and the princess shook her head. i sighed and lean in to kiss the princess's cheek. the princess giggled to this. Leon got up from the bed to the box full of the computer and one desk lamp near the small desk. 

"also about this frist kiss, any boyfriends before me?" i questioned and i saw Jordan closed the balcony door as he entered the room. "i am not mad but curious," i say and looked at the princess with a smirk. the princess sighed in frustration. she knew the questions were coming. 

"i got the computer when started highschool. the teacher started to submit are essays online not by paper. we still drafted by paper but the final is online. the boyfriend thing, i never was in a relationship until you. the first kiss was with my first boy i fell in love with aka my childhood friend." the princess says and i was shocked. she likes a boy before but means she wasn't in a relationship until now. 

"i see..." Leon says and picked up the keyborad from the box. "at least your honest, i like many girls in my life too so i feel the same. I would never say anything about my relationship status to my mate knowing he is a control freak." Leon said and he looked at the princess as he put back the keyboard. i was offended. 

"i am not a control freak! alright is there anything else or is there another room you want to show us?" i asked and the princess smiled and she got out of my arms. she ran out of her room. here we go again. i looked at Jordan and Leon who followed behind me as i walk out the room. princess entered another room and we all followed her. 

"This is the guest room, this room has the most memories to me." the princess says as we entered an empty room. there were a bed frame and lots of boxes. this room was used for storage? the princess walked out of the balcony which was smaller than the one in her room. i followed behind her while Leon and Jordan stayed in the room looking in the boxes. 

"what memories? let me guess you used to play in this room a lot?" i asked and the princess scoffed. i guess i was right. i lean against the railing of the balcony with princess looking out at the view. Jordan picked up a lamp from the box. 

"it used to be my playroom as a kid. when i learned how to walk my parents wanted a room for my toys as it took all the space in the house. since this room was used for storage before they changed it to my playroom so whenever i was bored i came here and they knew i was here. the locked the balcony of course until i got older and too big to fit in the gap of the railings." the princess says and i looked at the gaps. a two-year-old can definitely fit in there easily. 

"wow. you were spoiled from the beginning. when did they change it to the guest room?" Leon asked and he leans against the balcony door frame. Leon had a good point, the princess called it the guest room, not the playroom. the princess sighed and leaned against the railing too. 

"when i was done with toys. they sold most of my baby toys off and kept a few over the years. i had a playhouse but my parents sold it when i was eight and too big for it. they changed it to the guest room when i started middle school which was the perfect time." the princess says and i nodded. my parents gave me toys too but i never had time for them since i am the prince 

"so you were around ten and eleven? that a good age for a normal person. alpha here could play woth toys. he did have a few growing up. also, i like to comment your mom has good taste." Jordan says and showed us a small vase. it looked cool and definitely Jordan's style. the princess shook her head.

"you can bring it back and use it. I'm sure my mom would like to give it away to someone who will use it." the princess says and the Jordan chulked and he put it on the ground beside him. he kept looking through the boxes. "on the other hand, i feel bad for William but you are the prince. you have to learn at a young age." the princes said and looked at me. i smiled and put my arms around the princess's shoulders.

"i know, this house means a lot to you but you have to move on at one point. where should we go next?" i asked and the princess smiled and she got out my arms and out the room. this is going to be a long day.
