"Wilhelmina my child you will be staying with me from now on" says John to his niece. "Your father may have given up on you but you're my sister's emanet to me and God's my witness that I will treat you the same way I treat my daughters, okay love?" "Yes uncle". Wilhelmina's mother had just died and her uncle the head of security at the royal palace had brought her in to stay with him after her father had abandoned her and left with another woman. "John I can take care of your niece for a few months but years are a long period and I don't think we should have her here, it's inconvenient","Mary, her majesty the queen allowed her to stay, besides you know very well how we're the only family she has!". Sir John, a man with a beautiful heart, loved his sister more than anything in the world, he was a man of honor and great perspective, his wife on the other hand was driven by her ambition, she was more materialistic than anyone in that palace. "Listen to me child, says Mary addressing Wilhelmina, we don't need you causing trouble in the palace, this is the king and queen's house and we're employees if not servants, so keep you head down and behave. Do you understand what I say?", "Yes aunt Mary". "Oh! Sarah, Susan look who's here! It's your cousin, she will be living with us from now on", "Yaaay, Hooray", "Now go to the twins' rooms and play quietly". Wilhelmina was 5, she had Hazel eyes and a small nose. Her hair was of a dark brown, her mother used to brush it for her and never dared to cut it. She was a beautiful child, as beautiful as a child could get. Her cousins Sarah and Susan were twins. Both had blue eyes and blond hair. They resembled their mother so they were both very beautiful. They enjoyed their cousin's company, and they lived her like a sister. Sir John and his wife lived in the royal palace where the king Edward and the queen Elizabeth resided with their three children, or princes. The oldest Prince William who was 10 at the time, Robert who was 6 and the youngest Prince Henry aged 5 then. The king had always been just so the people loved and respected him. Though his queen was strict she had a pure heart and they both loved their children very much.
Life in the palace has been a dream to Wilhelmina whose mother always told nighttime stories about kings and queens and their chateaux, so being healed from her mother's lost wasn't as hard as her uncle had imagined, she easily became friends with the princes and alongside her cousins the six of them grew out to be handsome and beautiful and most of all kind people.
"I don't understand", "What's there not to understand Susy! If I were her I'd gladly choose to go to America as well", "Me too, but don't you think that it's way too far from home? I mean she could stay here I heard she got Oxford as well", "Really? Robbie got Oxford as well, you might reconsider going to America Willow now that your best friend is to go to the same university as you", "What do you mean the same university? I have yet to decide whether I'll choose to stay or go", " Listen if you go you'll be all alone and I can assure you that you won't live in a palace (Laughter), on the other hand if you choose to stay, which you will, you'll stay close to your uncle, your friends AND you will always be privileged since I'm here" "Come on Will, you have this artsy manner of always making a subject about you no matter what" "Well what can I say dear Sarah I'm a prince" (Laughter). "What's in your way?" "I don't know?" "What do you mean what's on her way Robbie?" "It's just that my father lives in the America and I thought that maybe" " That maybe what? Do I need to remind you that he left you, he left and didn't look back, moose on!" " Sarah!" "What am I wrong? The man does not deserve your love even for a second for that matter" " It's true you're right, you're absolutely right, it's just that... he called me last month and asked to see me, he said he wanted to rebuild our relationship. At first I was angry but then I decided to give him a chance""A chance my foot, he doesn't deserve it" " Well I give him an applause, he has the audacity to ask that of you, bravo really!" "What do you think Robb?" "I say it's your choice, if you can find it in your heart to forgive him and moove in with him then do so. Otherwise this house will always has its doors open for you."
Robbie looked at her with kindness, smiled and then stood up and left. "So I've been thinking of spending a week in Monaco. The summer vacation is here in two weeks and the youngest are to finally finish high school and become legal" " What do you mean legal? I already am, Willow as well, it's just these two that remain of the minority. You minors!" "Hahaha that's true" "Well we'll be legal in 3 days and then dad won't mind our voyage with you princes" "So it's a yes. I'll make a call and it'll be done" " great!"
"Willow~Come here my dear" " Yes aunt Mary I'll be right there"
"Yes my aunt" " Your cousins' birthday. Have you prepared everything" " Yes it's almost done" "Good I want nothing to be missing. Oh and stop hanging about the princes already, get your act together you are too close with them and that is inappropriate" " we're just friends" " Hahaha friends you say! You cannot be friends with Princes. Now do as I say and keep your distance. You'll be going soon anyways"
