CHAPTER 32

As we were walking through the castle, I couldn’t help but notice the artwork on the walls and the sculptures lining the hallways. The only word I could come up with was incredible. He showed me the grand ballroom on the bottom floor of the castle, and it was big enough to fit Jackson’s entire packhouse in it.

And after that he showed me the kitchen, but there was no point for me to go in there. He had staff in the kitchen 24 hours a day. Even if I wanted a midnight snack then I would just have to call down to the kitchen and they would bring it up to me. And the dining room, throne room and the playroom was on the bottom floor as well. The playroom was exactly that, where they put on plays for the King.

We went to the second floor, and I saw the music room, library, sitting room, office and four bedrooms with their own bathrooms.

We finally got to the third floor and there was another office, sitting room, TV room, another grand ball room, a smaller kitchen and much more informal dining room and then the King’s bedroom and one other bedroom across from his.

He opened the doors to that other bedroom, and I walked inside to see a huge four poster oak bed that looked like it was two king size beds pushed together, a sitting area in front of the fireplace, a walk in robe and the bathroom was just as huge and as elegant. 1

Vincent walked over and opened the walk in wardrobe and it was full of beautiful clothes that looked like they belonged here and not on Earth at all. But everything in there was beautiful. I walked right into the closet and started walking around looking at everything. And it was so large that I almost got lost in there alone.

“Why are you doing all of this for me?” I asked while I saw Vincent standing there with a smile on his face.

“You’re my daughter. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for you.” He says.

“I can’t believe that I am actually living in a castle now.” I say.

“I know. I actually designed this bedroom with you in mind. I knew that you would be living here one day. It’s been very lonely here all these years. I know that the servants live here as well, but that’s not the same as family.” He says.

“No. It isn’t. And I’m glad that I finally found out the truth. But I do need to know one thing from you first.” I say looking at him seriously. And he looked a little nervous.

“And what’s that?” He asked.

“I’m not going to have to report my every movement to you, am I? I mean, I don’t do good with that sort of thing. I like to exercise and jog and my wolf definitely likes to go on runs through the woods. I don’t want to have to ask permission whenever I want to leave the castle.” I explain.

“You don’t need to ask permission to do anything. As long as you’re here for meals so that we can sit down and eat and talk together and get to know each other, then that’s fine.” He says. And I smiled at him.

“I can do that.” I say.
