Chapter Four
Isis carried Alice in his arms, walking through the halls, a small smile on his face. He pushed open a room door Alice's eyes widening in shock. A portrait of a pretty orange haired woman with pink eyes was on the left wall of the room, a crown settled on a pillow was in front of it, along with a purple heel. "What's this place"Alice asked. "A memorial room for your mother, that's what she looked like"Isis smiled pointing to the portrait. "That's Mommy"Alice gasped staring at the portrait. "Yeah, she's beautiful isn't she"Isis smiled. "Yeah"Alice smiled. She stared at the crown in front of the portrait, looking curious.
"That's your mother's crown from her coronation"Isis chuckled pointing to it. "Wow..."Alice stared amazed, her eyes sparkling. He pressed a kiss to her cheek, giving her a small smile. "You can come here and relax anytime you want, this room is for you as well"Isis smiled. "Thanks Daddy"Alice smiled hugging him tight. He hugged her back, glancing at the portrait. "Come on, I have another surprise for you"Isis smiled. He walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. Bion bowed his head in greeting, following the two. A carriage was waiting for them when they made it outside, Isis nodding to Bion before stepping into the carriage.
"I'll tell Rosy where you two are"Bion promised. "Good"Isis nodded. He shut the carriage door, letting it take off towards the village. "Daddy, where are we going?"Alice asked. "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, would it?"Isis smiled patting her head. Alice looked out the window, staring at the village with sparkling eyes. Isis chuckled, gripping her ankle gently, so she didn't fall out of the carriage. "Your mother loved coming down to the village, it was the one place where she felt free, despite having limited time"Isis smiled looking out the window with her. "I like the village too, Nanny Rosy brought me one time for a celebration that happened for over a month!"Alice beamed.
"That was your birthday celebration, the day you turned two years old"Isis smiled. "That was for me!"Alice gasped looking up at him. She looked down, realizing now, everyone he'd been so nice to her and greeted her when she walked past with Rosy. She looked up at her smiling father and beamed, giggling a little. "Realized it"Isis teased. He pressed kisses to her cheek, Alice laughing as she struggled to escape her father, playfully trying to push him away. "Your majesty! We've arrived!" Isis peeked out, staring at a large building in front of him. Alice hopped out, holding her father's hand, Isis chuckling as he stepped down after her.
"Careful Ali"Isis smiled. Alice looked up at him, feeling her heart flutter at the nickname. "Sorry Daddy"Alice says. He walked beside her into the building, finding orphans there, Alice staring in surprise. "You wanted siblings...you can go around and get to know some of the kids and pick two"Isis smiled kneeling down. Alice shuffled forward, looking around shyly, rubbing her arm. She looked at the kids around her, getting intent stares fron them. "Hey kid.." She looked up a a pale dark orange haired male with yellow eyes staring her down. He kneeled down, staring at her. "What are you doing here in an orphanage"The make asked curiously.
"I'm looking for siblings, I'm an only child and I asked Papa for more siblings! So here I am!"Alice beamed placing her hand on his knees. "Your father is Prince Isis, that's surprising, that means you're Alice De Elmir, everyone around here knows who you are kid"The male says surprised. "What's your name!"Alice beamed. "Alister...."The male muttered glancing away. "That's an awesome name!"Alice beamed. Alister smiled slightly and patted her head. "You're cute kid"Alister chuckled standing up. "Why don't we find you some siblings, come on"Alister smiled. She grabbed his hand, Isis speaking with the caretakers.
"Hi I'm Alice!"Alice beamed. She stared, the kids shuffling away from her, looking a little nervous. Two kids with pale sandy pink hair came forward, staring at her furiously. "Hi, I'm Alice!"Alice beamed. "I'm Stella, this is my younger brother Smudge"The girl says. "I like your names"Alice smiled. "I'm looking for siblings! How old are you guys!"Alice beamed. "I'm turning 4 this weekend and my brother will turn 3 next month"Stella responded. Alice stared at them both, then turned. "Daddy! I can these two be my siblings!"Alice called waving her hands. Isis walked over and kneeled down, Alice placing her hands on his knee.
"Their names are Stella and Smudge!"Alice beamed. "Hello you two"Isis smiled holding his hand out to them. Stella stared, looking nervous before taking his hand. "Come on"Isis smiled. "Daddy"Alice says. "Can we take Alister too..."Alice asked. Alister flinched, his eyes wide in alarm. Isis smiled at Alister, and held his hand out. "I wouldn't mind being a father of four, come on son"Isis smiled. Alister stepped closer, taking his hand. Isis smiled, wrapping his arms around Stella and Alice, Alister stuffing his hands in his pocket, Smudge holding his hand. "I'll be taking these three"Isis smiled. His gaze darkened a little, staring at the startled man.
"Unless, there's something going on that I should know about, concerning these three kids"Isis smiled. The startled man shook his head and beckoned away. "Good, also I'll be sending someone to replace you"Isis adds on. He walked away, Alister glancing at their old caretaker, before stepping outside. The sun blinded him, Alister nearly jumping out of his skin. Isis wrapped blankets around Smudge and Stella, lifting them up into the carriage. "Thank you.."Alister says wrapping a blanket around himself, stepping up into the carriage. "Papa, was the caretaker a bad man?"Alice asked tugging on his pants leg.
"In a way yes, and you helped a little, Ali"Isis smiled. "I did..."Alice says her eyes sparkling. "Yeah, if I hadn't come with you to this orphanage I wouldn't have found out about the way these kids were being treated, they'll have a new caretaker tomorrow morning a more capable one and that man will be trialed for his crimes"Isis nodded. Alice smiled, feeling pride rising up inside her. "Is there any other way I can help, Daddy?"Alice asked. "Actually, yes, there is"Isis grinned. "You can help your new siblings get used to royal life, you're all int his together now alright!"Isis chuckled. "Yeah!"Alice beamed nodding. He stepped into the carriage, smiling at the four kids, then looked out the window, his eyes turning red for a split second.
