Chapter 255 - Impertinent!

Prince Alexander awakened Alexa in her slumber with tons of kisses. *Tsup-tsup-tsup!*

"Good morning, my Crown Princess... Rise and shine! The evil Queen-mother is in the house!" He banters as he tries to wake Alexa up.

Alexa took out the earbuds that were on her ears and slightly opened one eye at the time. "Hmm, what time is it? I seem to have overslept. Sighs!" Said Alexa as she stretches her two arms.

Prince Alexander pulled Alexa up in a sitting position on the top of the bed. "Wake up! Sleepyhead, Queen-mother is here with some lady. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this." He complained while his lips were puckered up.

"Oh' you sure are so cute with that lips of yours puckered up like that." She then pulled him to give him a peck on both of his cheeks. When Prince Alexander was about to kiss her on her lips, she quickly ducked. "No way, Jose! Morning breathe, please!" 

Prince Alexander didn't care and pulled her and took her lips in his and gave her the sweetest one that he could conjure. "I Love your morning breathe, hehe! Just like I love everything about you. So' get up now, and let's face the evil Queen." 

Alexa didn't have much choice. She slowly made her way to the bathroom, while Prince Alexander went to the dressing room and grabbed some clothes to change into before leaving quietly while Alexa was taking a shower.

Thirty minutes later, the couple meets up outside the corridor, ready to face the Queen of Stonasia and her companion.

Just in time for the Butler to announce that breakfast is served, Prince Alexander and Alexa went straight to the dining room, instead of the parlor. The Queen and her companion got up and followed them.

Alexa gave her utmost respect and bowed to the Queen before greeting the lady companion. 

"Good morning, you Majesty; good morning ma'am!" Greets Alexa then curtsy.

"Hmph! Where is your manner? You had made me wait for over thirty minutes." Said the Queen as she sat down on the chair that Prince Alexander had pulled out for his mother.

Once the Queen sat down, Prince Alexander then went to Alexa's side and pulled her chair for her. That made the companion and the Queen's brow raised. They never in their entire life saw Prince Alexander ever pulled a chair for any woman. Especially a commoner. 

Once everyone was seated, the Butler allowed the parlor maids to began serving breakfast. 

The Queen first thought was not to let Alexa eat breakfast with them. However, she wanted to see if she has any table manners, and the only way to find out was to make her eat with them.

However, the Queen was in for a shock for the way Alexa handle the utensils, and from the way, she properly sits and eats. She's so majestic, if someone who did not know she came from a humble background, they would think she was born a princess.

Prince Alexander was putting dishes after dishes at Alexa's plate, and it once again made the Queen raised a brow. But she didn't say anything. She continued observing Alexa's demeanor.

Alexa continued eating as if the Queen was not even there. She once in a while would look at Prince Alexander and smile or say something like, "Hmm, it's delicious." But, that's the limit of their communication in the table.

Once they finished their breakfast, Alexa excused herself, informing them that she needed to contact her family to let them know she arrived safely. Leaving the mother and son at the dining table.

"Impertinent! She didn't even wait for us to get up. Where is her manner?" Declared the Queen furiously. While she's shooting dagger at Alexa's back as she left.

Prince Alexander had to calm his mother down, "Queen-mother, please! She needed to inform her parents, or else we will have the CIA, FBI, and whatever else intelligence group America has." He banters, trying to soothe his mother.

"Hmph! I don't care who will come and look for her, she needs to learn protocol and palace manners. She cannot leave the table unless I say so!" Exclaim the Queen of Stonasia.

Prince Alexander didn't want to argue any longer. Therefore, he got up and helped his mother to get up ang took her to the parlor to continue their conversation and wait for Alexa to return.

Half an hour passed, and Alexa has not returned yet, and the Queen's face was turning sour by the minute. "This is utterly ridiculous, who is she to make me' the Queen of Stonasia wait. Go and summon her right now, or you can forget about marrying that... that girl!" She shouted furiously.

The Butler quickly went upstairs to call Alexa and inform her that her majesty is not happy with her leaving like that. He liked the girl, and he wanted her to marry Crown Prince Alexander and be the next Queen of Stonasia. He would do everything in his power to make sure she was not sent away.

However, when he arrived at the master bedroom and knocked on the door. No one replies and opened the door. He tried his might, but it seems that either the young miss is asleep or out and about. He quickly located the master key and came back so he could open the door and see for himself.

He slowly inserted the key while continuously calling. "Miss Grant! Miss Grant! It's the Butler. Miss... Grantttttt!" Once he opened the door, he poked his head first while still calling Alexa's name.

He was shocked to see that there was no one inside the room. To make sure that Alexa was not in the place at all, he knocked on the bathroom door. When no one answered, he opened it to find it empty. "Where could she be?" The Butler mumbles to himself as he scratches his head.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back downstairs, he heard a loud 'bang!' It seems that someone had fallen down from the balcony...

The Butler quickly walked towards the veranda to see down below. What he saw was utterly funny and scary at the same time. Alexa was spawl on the ground and trying to get up from the fall. Her hair and clothing disheveled and only wearing one pair of shoes... She either had fallen or jump from the second-floor veranda.
