I stare at the two crowns in front of me and I gape.
"For the king and queen." Ethan says and I quickly close my mouth so I don't look stupid.
This two things are more beautiful and precious than the whole room put together.
"Wait, you have the crowns here and all you have protecting it is a heavily built vault and some guards." I voice my thought and he slowly nods.
"Why? It's not like anyone will dare think of coming here to steal it.” He chuckles.
"If that's what you're thinking then I'm sure you having a lot of people waiting.” I chuckle but it seems my words get to him because he goes into deep thinking.
"Ethan, I was just playing." I smile and he looks into my eyes.
"Yes, but your right. There must be another way to have less guards protecting it. I mean we can use that much security somewhere else, especially since you're here now." He speaks more to himself and I look at him a bit puzzled.
"Okay." I chuckle but he holds my hands and looks into my eyes again.
"Do you have any idea how we can do that?" He asks still in that serious tone.
"Yeah, I mean we live in a modern world.....so how about....DNA?” I suggest and the idea goes into his head for some few seconds before he nods.
"That's a great idea." He smiles and so do I.
"And do you suggest any company?" I let go of his hands to think a bit.
"Well my adoptive parents' company have engineers and tech that can make that happen.”
"You think you can call them?" He asks uncertain and I chuckle.
"I'm not the CEO anymore but that company is still my inheritance. They'll help, trust me.” I assure Ethan and he smiles.
After the treasury I find myself in a massive beautiful greenhouse and garden surrounded by the world's most beautiful flowers and sweet fragrance smell.
The whole place reminds me of the garden back in the pack house but bigger and more beautiful.
I fall in love with some beautiful flowers called pink Camellia and I know deep down that this is going to be my favorite place in the whole castle.
After visiting the chapel, library and the huge kitchen and greeting the workers we end up at a huge stables.
Before we even reach the place I can hear the horses and I see some people tending to them.
"Now you're going to tell me you have a favorite horse." I mock Ethan as we enter the stables smelling of hay and horse poop.
"Oh no, I don't have a favorite horse. They're intelligent creatures. They sense what we are and they go scared and aggressive when I try to touch them." He says with his arms folded across his chest.
"Then why do you keep them around?" I ask curious.
"Because as royals we're supposed to posses them." He shrugs and I almost gape.
Unbelievable!
He suddenly bursts out laughing and I roll my eyes.
Of course he was lying.
"I actually do have a favorite horse. His name is Arthur." He says and starts walking towards a beautiful black horse.
"All the other horses are afraid of me and they won't let me go near them. Arthur is the only horse who isn't scared of me. Plus he's super aggressive to anyone else who isn't me. That still surprises me."
When he gets to him I keep my distance and watch us Ethan stretches forth his hand to the horse.
The horse smells it then let's Ethan pet him.
I smile at the two amazed.
"I've never been by animals before." Ethan turns his neck to look at me whilst petting Arthur.
He stretches his other hand towards me and I laugh.
"You're insane, after what you just said you think I'll go near him?" I chuckle.
A mischievous look plays in his eyes and I slowly move back.
"Ethan!" I scream half frighten whilst trying to get out of his strong hold after he super sped to catch me.
He chuckles and places me in front of the horse whilst holding me from behind.
I close my eyes in fear when the horse moves closer.
I feel a strong rush of air on my face and my heart skips a beat.
I slowly open my eyes to meet that of Arthur's and I somehow fall in love with the creature.
Ethan seeing how we're gazing at each other decides to let go of me.
I unconsciously take a step closer and so does Arthur.
I raise my hand to touch Arthur and he moves back.
I chuckle and he moves forward again and ends up almost in my face.
"What's he doing?" I ask Ethan still a bit scared though but happy.
"He wants to smell you." He says with curiosity in his eyes and I move closer to Arthur who takes a sniff then breathes out hard blowing my hair into my face.
I move back laughing and turn to Ethan who looks surprised.
"What?" I ask as I move closer to him.
"It took me a month to get him to act that way around me. He must really like you." He smiles and I chuckle.
"He's beautiful, why would you lie about him being aggressive?" I ask as we walk out of the stables.
"Oh he actually is. I just knew he wouldn't hurt you because you had my scent, but turns out he actually likes you." I gape at Ethan who smiles.
We pause to look at the castle and I'm mesmerized at how old but beautiful it looks.
"How many rooms does it have?" I turn to Ethan.
"Seventy or seventy five. It has the biggest ballroom with the biggest number of rooms and is the family favorite."
"Favorite? So there are other castles."
"Yep, Ten in total with their respective names" I nod then smile.
All this is pretty overwhelming.
"Well what is this castle called then?” I move closer to him and he gives me a side hug then a kiss on the forehead.
"The Dolyn castle." I look up at him with a smile.
"Dolyn?"
"Yeah, it's named after the first Queen of Artea, Queen Gwendolyn." I nod.
