Arthur's mansion.

All are sitting in living room and waiting for Alice and kamal. Aaron is not coming today because of bad weather.

"Dad, when is Granny coming?" asked Elena.

"Patience, my princess. Mom is just about to come here," said Edward while smiling.

"Ring Ring"

Edwin phone was ringing. He looked at screen and whispered,"Rachael."

He got up as he about to move further. Ryan stopped her," What happened, Edwin bro?"

"Nothing Ryan, work related call," he smiled and moved from there while attending his call,"Hello."

Meanwhile, Alice and Kamal entered there with the two servants, who were carrying their luggage.

Alice firstly saw Ryan while entering in the living room and shouted cheerfully, "Ryan, How are you, son?"

Ryan hurriedly hugged her and said, "Do you know how I missed you, granny?"

"Oh, my grandson. I missed you too."

She looked around and didn't find Elena, then she asked, "Where is my Ele?"

Everyone looked around, and noticed she was going upstairs with her cane, and then she got stumbled and about to fall from stairs.

Everyone shouted as looking at her, "Elena."

Elena realised she didn't fall as someone was holding her on her waist, she whispered,"Robert."

"Are you ok, princess?" He asked as releasing her waist.

She placed her hand on her left chest and felt it, her heart was pounding, and then he again asked as looking at her,"Are you alright?"

She nodded and then Ryan came there, and asked,"Are you fine, kiddo?"

"Yes bro," she smiled.

"Thank you so much, Robert," Ryan said and shook his hand with him and continued while looking at Elena,"let's go, kiddo."

She nodded, and both of them came down stairs. Roberts also came behind them.

"Who is he?" Alice asked to Meera.

"She is her bodyguard. After all your son and grandson appointed him for her safety," said Meera.

"Means– Ernest?"

"Hmm," she nodded.

"Nice, he proved it saving her as he is right bodyguard to her," said Alice while looking towards Elena.

Elena came near Alice with Ryan and Robert bowed in front of Alice, said,"Good evening, Her highness."

"Good evening, Robert. Thank you so much to save Elena."

"Its my responsibility to protect princess being her bodyguard," he said as catching a glimpse of her and then looked at Edward and continued,"your highness, can I go now?"

"Yes, you can go," said Edward.

Robert about to go, Edward stopped him abruptly,"Wait, Robert."

He turned towards him and said,"Yes, your highness?"

He strolled his steps to him and asked suspiciously," what were you doing upstairs?"

"Edward, I sent him upstairs to put a canvas painting of Elena in the gallery room,"Meera interrupted.

"Ok, you can go now," said Edward, afterward Robert went from there.

"Elena, why were you going upstairs without meet your granny?" Alice asked as holding her hands.

"Because, you didn't ask me first," She said with sullen face.

"OMG, so someone is jealous here," said Alice and trying his best to control her laughter as looking at Elena's sullen face.

"Yes, I'm very jealous, because you didn't pay attention to me first. While I'm the youngest here. Big bro is more better than you."

"Elena, Don't even take his name in front of me," Alice yelled abruptly.

Elena and other family members got flinched except Edward, and she asked, "What happened, Granny?"

Alice didn't say anything and looked at Edward who was smirking. She mumbled, "You father and son are exactly the same."

Kamal placed her hand on her shoulder to calm her and whispered, "Alice, what are you doing?"

Alice came into her senses and said,"Nothing, Elena."

Meera looked at her with concern and asked, "Mom, did he also go there?"

"No, Meera, he didn't come there but he kept troubling me via phone till I came here," she said while looking at Edward who was continually smirking.

"Well, don't worry, mom. I will talk with him later regarding it."

"Leave it all, you tell me how are you?"

"I am perfectly fine. But we all missed you so much."

"Oh my lovely daughter in law. I missed you too."

"Don't tell a lie, If you missed us then you would have come long ago."

Kamal move forward and said,"Her highness, because of me Alice didn't come here before." She bowed her head in front of her and continued,"I am very sorry."

Meera hold her both shoulders and stopped her from bowing, said," Aunt, don't bow in front of me. We already know what have you lost, and why mom couldn't able to come before." She looked at Alice and continued,"Now we all are your family. Isn't it, mom?"

"Yes, meera. I have told her already, " She said and places her hand on her shoulder, "kamal, you are now my family. So don't think about lame thing..."

Kamal smiled as looking at her and nodded.

"Ok, let's go. I am starving," said Alice while looking at Meera.

"Yes mom."

Meanwhile, Edwin entered in the living room and saw Granny.

"Granny," he yelled joyfully, ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

"Edwin, has your dear friend asked you to strangle me. That's why you are holding me so tightly."

"No Granny, why are you saying like that? Did you two have a fight again?" He whispered near her ear.

"Yes, now leave me."

"Granny, at first you were saying that you will not come, what happened now that you suddenly came. Why do you always persistent when you already know he always has some tricks up in his sleeve to get the job done," he whispered and leave her.

Alice took deep breathe and stared at him while saying,"Edwin, it seems you missed me so much."

"Yes, Granny. We missed you so much, especially, Ernest," he winked.

Kamal smiled as looking at him and continued," You are his best friend, right?"

"Yes, we are best friends since childhood," and continued, "Hello, kamal Granny, I am meeting you first time. How are you?"

"I am fine. Nice to meet you."

"Me too."

"Ok, let's go, I am starving," said Alice while holding Elena's hand and continued,"Elena, you will sit beside me."

"Yes, Granny, " She nodded with smile.

All started to move to dinning Hall, but then, Edward stopped Edwin, "Edwin."

"Yes, Uncle."

"Come here, I want to talk with you something."

"Ok," He said and both of them went towards Edward's study room.

*Study room*

"Edwin, why has Rachel called you so late? Because it must be 11:30 there."

"How do you know, uncle?"

"Because I had seen you before while whispering his name."

"Uncle, actually, Ernest's assistant has got disappeared suddenly, for which he is very worried, so Rachel called me to tell that but I am worried because this is first time as Ernest himself is worried for his assistant, Ruhi."

"Wait, what name have you spoken?"

"Ruhi"

"Isn't that a girl's name?"

"Yes uncle."

"Ernest has appointed a girl for his assistant?"
