Chapter 53


    The festival is almost over and like what was nned the students were given thest day as their free


    day to take a tour in London.


    Flynn already had a n. He took her for a walk near the Eiffel tower and other romantic spots. Ate ice


    cream while walking in the park and visited museums and pces.


    At the end of the day, Flynn brought her to the royal family''s pce. "Are we allowed toe here for a


    tour? It should be like an official visit, right? Or is this just a part that regr people like me to visit like


    in museums?"


    He chuckled. "You could say that. But—" He clicks his tongue. "You''re not really with a regr person


    here."


    She was still at awe while walking on the hallway when she noticed a woman in a light blue trench coat


    and gloves standing in front of arge painting on the wall.


    August wrinkled her forehead as she looked at Flynn. The old woman looked really familiar.


    "Gran!" Flynn called the old woman''s attention.


    The woman turned her head and her mouth dropped when she realized she''s actually looking at The


    Queen—Frances ire Louis Ferguson!


    The old woman smiled widely seeing Flynn and thetter asked her toe with him. She''s so stiff and


    nervous as she walked towards the queen.


    "Gran, this is Augustine. My girlfriend."


    "Oh, is she the one you told me about?"


    Flynn smiled as he nodded in agreement. "Yes."


    The Queen then smiled at her widely and touched her cold skin. "Oh, are you okay? Your skin is cold."


    She forced an awkwardugh, feeling embarrassed. "I''m just—I didn''t know I''ll meet you so I''m feeling


    nervous. Actually—"


    She''s talking too much!


    She cleared her throat and smiled. "It''s a pleasure to meet you, Queen Frances."


    The Queenughed. "Just call me Frances, dear. Your name is beautiful, Augustine."


    "T—Thank you." She nced at Flynn who seems to enjoy what''s happening.


    "Come on. Dinner is ready." Frances invited them and a man in a butler''s uniform guided them to the


    dining hall, courteously greeting them with a smile.


    "You didn''t tell me we''d meet her." She whispered, scolding Flynn next to her.


    "Does it matter? She likes you." He smiled and squeezed her hand.


    She blushed.


    "Calm down. Enjoy the meal she prepared for you." Flynn winked at her.


    She nodded. Just like that breakfast with Lyndal and Frederick, the Queen didn''t disappoint with the


    meal prepared for the evening. And she didn''t bother asking if someone else is joining them because it

    seemed like it''s always a feast when the royals have their meals.


    Frances seem to love his grandson''spany. Always smiling at him and asking questions about his


    work. She would sometimes ask her about school. And then would tell stories about Flynn and Ste


    on those rare family events that all of them cane together.


    "Oh, Augustine, you shoulde and attend Flynn''s niece, Emilia''s birthday party on December. And


    might as well, spend Christmas here."


    Flynn looked excited but she''s worried. Her parents would always n on spending Christmas


    together.


    She wanted to tell them but chose to keep quiet and will just discuss it with Flynn. It''s too rude to


    decline the Queen''s invitation.


    She nodded and smiled.


    ??????


    She flew back to Seattle with her ss since Flynn had to be left behind for some business concerns.


    And when theynded, she received a message from him that he''ll be in London for another week.


    She went back to ss and work nights. She also attended to her tutoring schedules for Mondays and


    Wednesdays. A new student emailed her for a two hour tutoring every week on applied mathematics


    and statistics. She reviewed the student''s background.


    Name: Pierre Bary?Year: Second Year?Major: Music?Subjects need tutoring: Applied Mathematics and


    Statistics?Hours needed: 2 hours/week, an hour each?Preferred day and time for tutoring: Tuesdays and


    Thursdays, preferably 3-5pm


    She replied to his email confirming the slots he requested and the location of their tutorials. She can


    meet him for it before going to her part time work.


    Her phone beeped for another email.


    Hi,


    I just finished my ss. Can we start at 3?


    Pierre


    She realized it''s Tuesday and it''s two forty-five. She just finished her ss and was about to leave. She


    confirmed his request and told him to meet her at the location.


    She realized that the building for music major students is at the farthest building from engineering''s.


    She was about to ask if he can make it at three o''clock when he responded.


    On my way.


    She was surprised. She wondered how''d he''ll make it on time when it''s almost half an hour to reach


    their building from the music and arts building.


    Unless he walks fast.


    She took her time thinking he must be considering the three thirty slot instead of three o''clock. She was


    still inside the building, at the library until three when her phone beeped.


    I''m here in front of your building.
