Chapter 258 - The President's Arrival...

The King and Queen of Stonasia were seated in the dining room having breakfast when Alexa and Crown Prince Alexander arrived at the palace. Instead of letting them join them for breakfast, they were asked to wait in the parlor as if they were mere guests.

Alexa didn't care to join them; therefore, she was more than willing to wait in the parlor. However, Crown Prince Alexander is another matter. His eyes widened in disbelief when he heard what the queen's assistant told them.

"You are kidding me, right? I'm the Crown Prince of the kingdom, and this is my home. Then yet, I must wait for my parents in the parlor as if I'm a guest. What a joke!" He snarled at the queen's assistant.

Instead of going to the parlor to wait, he grabbed Alexa's hand and stormed off to his room. The queen's assistant was astonished and quickly informed the queen.

When the queen heard what crown Prince Alexander had done, she lost her appetite and began swearing. She planned to make them wait as long as she could to show Alexa that she's of no importance, but it backed fired on her instead. 

The King had a smirk on his lips when he learned what happened. He, too, stopped eating and decided to go to the parlor and meet this woman, making the queen go crazy.

"Summons them at once, we will be in the parlor." The king ordered as he got up with the help of his assistant. There was nothing the queen could do but follow suit while mumbling to herself.

No sooner than they had sat down when the King's assistant came and whispered something to him. His eyes widened for a moment before slowly getting up. He then gave an order to the assistant.

Summon all the advisers right now and inform the crown prince to the throne room. And also, send Miss Grant back to the villa and tell her to keep her parents there and don't let anyone see them. Do you understand me?" 

The queen wonders what's going on. She waited for the King to inform her, but instead, he walked towards the throne room with his assistant's aid.

The queen called for her assistance to find out what's going on? 

"Yes, your majesty? You called for me?" Said the assistant as she was curtsy. She then waited for the queen's response as she stayed out with her head down.

"I need to find out what's going on? Why is the King on his way to the throne room and calling all his advisers?" Asked the queen curiously.

Her assistant made a slight bow before retreating and swiftly went to find out what's going on.

A moment later, she came back running while trying to catch her breath. "Your majesty, it seems that the king received a report that Airforce One landed in the private tarmac at the airport. The President of the United States of America is on the way to the palace with the new First Lady. What should we do?" 

When the queen heard what her assistant said, she was frantic. "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare a feast for lunch. I'm not sure if they plan to stay, but to be on the safe side, prepare a room for them and their entourage. Hurry!" 

As soon as she finished giving orders, she almost ran to her bed-chamber to make herself presentable. Just in time, Alexa and crown prince Alexander came out of his room to inform the King and Queen that her parents were on the way.

However, Crown Prince Alexander was stopped by the king's assistant. "Your highness, the king requested your presence in the throne room. Please! Don't worry about Miss Alexa. I will send her to the villa. Please hurry! It's urgent." 

Crown Prince Alexander was about to say something but was interrupted by the queen. " Go! I'll take care of her and her parents. Your present is needed. Go!" Urge the queen as she pushes crown prince Alexander to leave. 

Crown Prince Alexander gave Alexa a quick kiss and sorrowful look before rushing to the throne room.

Alexa, on the other hand, was not sure what to do afterward. She decided to inform the queen of her parent's arrival.

"Your majesty, my parents....". However, she was cut short of what she was about to say when the queen ignored her and went inside her chamber before shutting the door on her face.

"Wth! How rude! I can believe the manners of everyone in this kingdom. It starts from the highest position to the lowest; they all just plain rude." Alexa mumbled to herself. But heard by the king's assistant, who, in turn, raised his brow.

"Excuse me, miss Grant, if you're done bitching, do you mind taking yourself to the villa and also, as per the king's word... keep your parents there and don't let them out. We will inform you when the urgent situation is done.

Alexa was astonished after hearing what the king's assistant told her. If she's not mistaken, he wants her to hide her parents as if... What is wrong with these people? Do they know who they are messing with? Alexa is now pissed, and smoke is coming out of her ears and nose.

"Are you telling me that the parent's meeting is now canceled? And after I had asked my parents to fly all the way here, you want me to keep them hidden from the world? I don't think so! Where is crown prince Alexander? I need to speak with him right now!" She's now beyond being nice. She needs to get to the bottom of this mess. She was glaring at the king's assistant with no success.

"I'm sorry, miss, but it's the king's order. Please! Follow me, or I will have the palace guard help you out." He threatens Alexa while glaring at her. 'Who does she think she is, just because the Crown Prince is currently enamored with her, she really thinks that she would become the next Crown Princess? Not!' He thought as he walked ahead of Alexa.

Alexa could read what the king's assistant's thinking at the moment. She continued sauntering as if she's on a runway. She decided to call her father on the way out to inform them to go to the villa instead of the palace…

President Grant didn't ask any question when Alexa told him to go to Crown Prince Alexander's villa, instead of the Palace. He knew deep down that his beloved daughter was treated differently. The King and Queen probably learned that they had landed and canceled the parent's meeting, not knowing that they are Alexa's parents. Therefore, his daughter was told to bring her parents to Crown Prince Alexander's villa. What a joke on them when they find out later.

President Grant was not mistaken with his thoughts. Once his entourage went into different directions, headed towards Crown Prince Alexander's villa... An envoy appeared to escort them towards the palace.

However, President Grant ordered his secret service to stop the envoy and continue the direction Alexa had given them. There was nothing that the envoy could do but to follow the President's entourage wherever they might be heading.

When the envoy saw that it was heading towards the Crown Prince Villa, sweats' beads began to emerge. He quickly informed the palace with his suspiciousness. 

The King's assistant rushed to the throne room to inform the Kings.

Meanwhile, Crown Prince Alexander was furious when he discovered why he was being summoned and what they had done.

"Your majesty, you do not know what you have done! Canceling the parents' meeting just because you learned that the President of the United States of America arrived is a big mistake. You didn't even try to find out who her parents are. You just assumed that they are nobody and unimportant people. You will regret this decision." He then stormed off the throne room without looking back.

Crown Prince Alexander bumped into the king's assistant as he was walking out. He glared at him with intent to kill, as he passed him by.

The king's assistant rushed to his side and whispered. When the king heard what he said, his eyes bulged out of the socket in shock.

"What do you mean that the President's entourage went to the crown prince's villa? Why would they go there?" He then began to think and... "Could it be that...". He didn't get to finish what he was about to say because he began to feel an ache in his chest and unable to breathe before he lost consciousness.

"Your majesty! Your majesty!" Shouted the king's assistant. "Call for the palace doctor!! Hurry!" He shouted to anyone who could hear him.

All the advisers that were inside the throne room with the King, were in frenzy.  They all gathered closer to where the King was and began murmuring with each other. Just then the Queen came in with the palace doctor in frantic...
