Chapter 260 - Getting Rid Of Her, Once And For All...

Easy to say but hard to do what Chrissy says, let's bygones be bygones. Alexa suffered a lot of pain at the queen's hands, and she could not easily forget. She only nodded to make her mother happy and not to worry. But, once she is given a chance ... She will make the queen wish she had never been born. 

"Mom, Dad. Why don't you rest and freshen up first? It will be a long time before we visit them. I also have something to do, and I will not be able to take care of you. What do you say?" She said it sincerely, with Dowey eyes and a sweet smile on her face.

When President Grant saw that his first lady looked tired, he pulled her closer to him and placed her head on his chest. "What do you think? You want to lie down even for a moment so that you feel fresh when we talk to them later? Remember, your baby daughter needs your strength." He whispered around Chrissy's head while he caressed her back.

Since she was also tired, Chrissy decided to agree. "Sure! I could use some rest. My back and joints are a pain at the moment. I guess it was due to old age. Hahaha!" Chrissy banters while laughing out loud so that the father and daughter would not worry.

Moreover, she does need her strength for her baby daughter. It seems that Crown Prince Alexander's mother, the queen, would need to be put in her place. Who is she to belittle her daughter? If Alexa weren't in love with Crown Prince Alexander, she would instead her daughter marry someone not from the royal family. However, it's too late now; all they could do was to support Alexa and with her happiness.

President Grant helped his wife get up, and they followed the butler to a room prepared for them. Since Crown Prince Alexander's villa was huge, it could house the President's entourage without a hitch. They decided that they would be staying at the villa instead of the palace to be with Alexa until they depart, which the queen will find annoying once she learns of this.

Meanwhile, back in the palace, the King and Queen were still waiting for the news from the Crown Prince's villa. The assistant of the King personally went to invite them for lunch and to stay at the palace. But, they have not heard anything as of yet.

The King of Stonasia has his palm on his forehead. A headache was brewing as they spoke.

"I'm utterly confused! How did this happen? I clearly remember that President Grant favored her, and she's somewhat related to them having the same last name. However, what kind of relationship do they have? It couldn't be that she's he's legitimate daughter, is she? If that's the case, the more that I can't have her marry the Crown Prince. She will not be accepted as the Crown Princess of Stonasia by our people. Not in this lifetime!" Said the Queen to no one in particular.

He raised his head and glared at the Queen. He was going to say something, but his assistant arrived. " Your Majesties, I have a report back from the Crown Prince's villa." He announces while standing straight in front of them.

The King spoke, "Speak!"

"I had conveyed your majesties' request and was informed that they preferred to stay at the Crown Prince's villa and if your Majesties are still interested in this union. The parent's meeting will be held on a neutral ground. The President and his first lady advise that they want to have the meeting in front of all the king's advisers and all the royal families. If that is suitable and your Majesties agreed, give them the time, and they will attend." He then curtsied before retreating a couple of steps.

When the queen heard the President's demand and his first lady, her blood shoot up to her head and exclaimed so loud that everyone was shocked. 

"THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS! THERE'S NO WAY THAT I WILL INVITE ALL THE ROYAL FAMILIES. NO WAY!" She was shouting from the top of her lungs.

Her assistant quickly came to her and gave her a glass of water before patting her back. From the look of the queen's face, she looks like she's about to have a heart attack herself. 

"Calm down! That's not an outrageous demand from the President of the United States Of America. You forget that this marriage alliance is a matter of the two countries. However, if they could demand that all the royal families attend this meeting, we could also demand that they do the same. Their family members also need to be present, not only the President and the First lady." Announced the King calmly.

When the queen heard that, her eyes shined brightly. It's an opportunity for her to get rid of Alexa Grant once and for all. She could humiliate her in front of the whole royal family and the advisers. She would wish she had never been born and to want to be married to royalty in this lifetime. She could then finally show everyone that she has no pedigree, she's a commoner only riding on the President's coat. She's no one. 

"Yes! That's a good idea, after all." Said the queen with an evil grin plastered on her face.

The King gave an order. "Go back to the Crown Prince Vill and inform them of our demand. We will have the parents meeting tomorrow evening in the throne room. A banquet will be held, and all the royal families will attend along with all the advisers. However, all of their family members must also be present, whether from the United States Of America or the Philippines. They have to be present. That's an order!" 

The King and Queen were so proud of their idea. They thought that Alexa's family from the Philippines would have a problem attending since they are nobody. Unless President Grant rents a Private Plane for them, it would be too costly for Alexa's whole family. Well, at least that's what they thought...
