At ten in the morning.
Three solemn black sedans pulled up in the open space near the hotel. The smartly dressed female bodyguard, after confirming that Rosemary Rose was the spitting image of the girl in the photograph,
respectfully opened the car door for her.
Rosemary climbed into the car in the middle and retrieved a black blindfold from her bag, handing it to the bodyguard for inspection.
She was well aware of the royal protocols - the fewer people who knew the whereabouts of a royal residence, the better.
The bodyguard was somewhat surprised; she had prepared a brand-new blindfold for Rosemary but before she could offer it, Rosemary had already presented her own for inspection.
The thick blindfold would block out even the faintest light. After checking it, the bodyguard handed it back with both hands, saying, "Thank you for your understanding."
Rosemary nodded politely in response, donned the blindfold, and was escorted by the cars before and behind her to the princess’s private castle.
After a smooth ride, the car came to a stop. The bodyguard opened the door for her, "Queen Abby, we’ve arrived."
What appeared before Rosemary was a beautiful and imposing castle, different from the estates of the wealthy elite; this castle truly showcased the dignity and grandeur of royalty.
It was but one of many royal properties and had been a birthday gift to Princess Leah when she turned eighteen. Since reaching adulthood, she had lived there alone.
Alone, because other royal family members each had their own palaces and castles and did not normally reside here.
However, apart from her, there were a dozen female bodyguards skilled in combat and shooting at her side, and a slew of security guards inside and out to ensure her personal and property safety.
Rosemary’s arrival immediately caught the attention of the security guards. Many exchanged glances and kept a close watch on her through their earpieces.
"She’s a designer invited by the princess," the female bodyguard communicated to the security guard.
The security guard nodded, made an internal call to the princess’s butler to confirm, and then put Rosemary through three security checks and past three identification doors before she was allowed into the castle’s grand entrance.
It was winter, and the ground and trees were dressed in a blanket of snow, an expanse of white.
Rosemary was led to a flashy living room, tastefully decorated with a lavish romantic flair.
Not only was it artistically appealing, but every detail exuded unique elegance, and every item was meticulously chosen, all underscoring the exceptional status of the owner.
"Princess Leah, Queen Abby has arrived."
The elegant and noble princess stood by the window, turning with a charming smile upon hearing the announcement.
"Queen Abby."
Her smile was proper, her movements graceful, every gesture revealing what it meant to be a true princess.
Rosemary, seeing the princess extend her hand, courteously shook it, "Your Highness, forgive me for keeping you waiting."
"There’s no need for such formality here; we’re alone," Princess Leah said with a smile that was always just right, making one feel at ease, "Please, have a seat."
A servant brought in exquisite pastries and fragrant tea, which the bodyguard checked without finding any issue.
"You may leave us. I want to have a private word with Queen Abby."
Although the female bodyguards retreated respectfully, Rosemary caught a glimpse of them whispering into their earpieces as the door closed, probably signaling for additional security to guard the perimeter
