Royal quest

Chapter 3

There are beats on the roof because of the heavy rain. A loud trumpet sound was heard outside the door. Angel,who was on the third floor peed from the window. "The king's men",she exclaimed, excited. She immediately shut her window and ran to her mirror. She stared at her reflection and tucked the little strands at the back of her ear.

She ran out of her room,and jogged down the stairs. She felt like flying to the door to know what's going on. For the trumpeter to accompany the coachman, meaning it was important.

She excitedly sat on the handrail,and slid down,she raised feet inward a little for little balancing. She slid until she got the edge and tried to stop herself. "No,no, no,no,no",she slightly panicked. She couldn't control herself anymore,she fell on the floor. "arrhhh",she yelled as her body hit the ground.

She got up almost immediately,and quickly dusted her gown with her hands and gave a smile. She saw her mother closing the door,she was late. She stamped her left foot in disappointment.

"That's a clumsy fall", her younger sister, Kelly said giggling

Angel rolled her eyes and walked straight to where her mother stood smiling. "Why are they here mother?", Angel asked

"The king requests your presence in the palace",her mother replied smiling

"The king ?"Her father tried to get up with his crutches,he lost one of his legs in a war. His wife immediately walked to her husband and gave him the letter.

"This is good luck",her father said after reading the letter, smiling.

"What does the letter says?", Angel asked curiously

"I guess it's better you go to the palace and find out for yourself",her mother replied. A knock was heard on the door. A servant immediately rushed to open it.

The coachman bowed at the sight of Angel's parents. "The princess requests she get to the palace immediately",the coachman said, going straight to the point.

"Okay",her mother gave a curt reply

"I will be waiting for her in the carriage",the coachman bowed and left.

"Go on,get dressed", Angel heard her mother say. She rushed up to her room and got dressed by the servant. Soon she was done and she walked down the stairs.

"Clumsy is looking beautiful",her younger sister teased. Angel smiled at her,she was c****d up with excitement.

"When will you be back?", Kelly asked

"Soon",her mother replied immediately, not giving Angel a chance to say anything. Angel smiled and nodded at her mother's words. She walked to where the carriage was and bid her family goodbye. The coachman opened the door and helped Angel inside the carriage.

She sat in the carriage and waved to family through the window,she knew how overwhelmed they were feeling. She wondered why her parents refused to tell her the content of the letter. She smiled and wondered why the king summoned her. She closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.
