Torn Between Twin Brothers

Pearl, Arria, and Princess Rose made a plan to do a live stream at the mall and the surrounding area of the Kingdom of Stonasia. Upon hearing that, Chupsy called her colleague, who was on standby in case Pearl decided to go out to make any arrangements. Princess Rose had her own Royal guards that were on standby as well. However, Arria didn't have her own bodyguard assigned to her yet, so Mary accompanied them.

So, after dropping off Prince Edmund, Ava, Akira, and Jeffrey at James's apartment building, the trio happily bid them goodbye. Chupsy and Mary accompanied the trio while Pisces and Prince Edmund's assistant stayed with them.

However, to their dismay, the security guard stopped them at the lobby's front door. 

"I'm sorry, but unless you're a tenant or on the visitors' list, I can't let you in. So please, call the tenant that you will be visiting and have the person come down." The security guard said politely.

Ava looked at Pisces for help while Prince Edmund turned to his assistant. Both stepped in to speak to the security guard.

"Sir, we understand what you're saying. Please call Mr. Jones's apartment to inform him that his sister and friends are here." Pisces said sternly, standing proudly with her back straight in front of the security guard. With her looking intensely at the security guard, the man had no choice but to make the call.

James was playing video games and had his headset on, so he didn't hear his phone ringing. After trying several times, the security guard frustratedly informed them that he wasn't picking up.

Akira already knew that because they had tried calling him several times before leaving the Royal Academy. Now, she's worried that he might not be home and might be spending time with Prince Edward at the palace.

"Did you call his cell phone or the home phone? Because if you called his cellphone, we already knew that he wasn't picking up. That's why we asked you to call his home phone.'' Akira asked irritably. One thing she couldn't stand was waiting; she never had the patience.

Ava jerked Akira's arm, "Let it go, let's just wait for a little while. We can try calling his phone again a little later." She whispered, trying to calm her friend.

"Yea! Let's sit down there first." Jeffrey pointed towards the sofa in the middle of the lobby. He then ushered Ava and Akira while Prince Edmund followed along behind them.

Prince Edmund's assistant decided to intervene to see if he had the power, "Sir, if you excuse me, I'm the personal assistant of that young man, his highness Prince Edmund. It's not safe to keep all these children in a public area, so if you could go with us to Mr. Jones's apartment, we will knock on the door to see if he is in. What do you think?" He was very polite and respectful.

The security guard looked in Prince Edmund's direction before scratching his head, unsure what to do. Finally, after a moment of contemplating, he excused himself and made a call to his superior.

A couple of minutes later, a stern-looking older man came with a couple of men wearing security guard uniforms on both his sides. He approached Prince Edmund's assistant and didn't even glance at Pisces standing right behind next to the man.

"May I see your credentials?" He grumpily asked the assistant.

The assistant briskly pulled out his credentials and handed them to the older man. The older man handed it to the man next to him to be scanned. Once it was verified that he was, in fact, who he had said he was, they handed him back his credentials.

"Alright! Only his highness the Prince is allowed to go up and you. The rest must remain here and wait. Let's go!" He barked the order before turning to leave without caring if anyone followed.

===

"Wait a minute!" Shouted Pisces. One thing she hated the most was being ignored, and the man just did that. Her nostrils were flaring up, and she was ready to beat the shit out of the older man for being so rude.

The older man didn't even stop after hearing Pisces yelling. He just continued on ignoring her. Pisces ran up to him and held onto his arms.

"Excuse me! I just asked you to stop for a minute. You are so rude! Do you know who those children are that you're ignoring? I can't believe you would do that. If you want to keep your position in this company, I advise you to think again!" Pisces was at the point of no return.

At first, she was polite and kind, not using any power or dropping any names, but the man was something else. So, she had no choice but to use tactics.

"Miss, if you value your hand, I advise you to let me go. As I said, only his highness the prince was allowed and no one else. Now unhand me!" The older man shouted back while shooting daggers at Pisces with his eyes.

Pisces let go and stepped back a little. She then proceeded to make a call. The older man was going to continue walking, but Pisces had warned him, and this made him slightly cautious, so he stayed put and waited to see who she was calling. He didn't think the woman in front of him could do anything, so he couldn't wait to give her a slap in the face right there and then.

After a moment, Pisces walked closer to the older man. "Here, someone wants to speak with you." She then handed him her cellphone with a smirk on her face, 'Let's see what you're going to do after you finish talking to that person.' She was thinking while glaring at him.

All the children saw and heard what was happening, and all came forward. Then, after a few seconds, they all heard the older man panic and say '"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!" Then he handed the phone back to Pisces...

The older man was glaring at Pisces, "Why didn't you say so from the beginning." He told Pisces, sounding scared. He then turned his attention to the children and looked at them up and down. 

"You all follow me!" He ordered before turning around and continued walking towards the elevator.

Akira jerked Pisces's arms, and bent over to say something, "Sister Pisces, who did you call?"

Pisces only smirked before patting Akira's hand, "Don't worry about it. It was someone important. More important than his credentials." She pointed at Prince Edmund's assistant before secretly laughing...

She had actually made a call to Queen Alexa when the older man was giving her a hard time. So, she relayed the situation, and in turn, Queen Alexa informed King Alexander, who owned the building jointly with THJ Group and WIGC. So, when Pisces handed the phone over to the older man, he was speaking to King Alexander, who chewed his behind, disrespecting the children.

However, Pisces didn't divulge it to Akira, and she didn't want the young girl knowing that their family owns the whole building.
