Chapter 495 - CHANGE OF PLANS: PART II

Elizabeth arrived at the airport with her grandparents. She had no idea that her mother was home as well and wished to bid her farewell. Whilst the girl waited for the servants to get her stuff out of the car, she was concerned about something which she can't explain herself. 

"Darling, is something wrong?" Elder Lady Knightley asked, noticing the long face on the girl. 

Elizabeth smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, I was just thinking how troublesome my day will be soon." 

"Darling, if you wish, I can accompany you." 

"It's fine granny, I know you have some events which you can't miss out on." 

The old lady did not further protest for she does have important state matters which she and her husband must attend to. Her sudden disappearance will surely cause quite a commotion. People might start questioning and it could lead to her granddaughter being involved. Since, most of the high society does not know that the girl has returned. 

"Well then, let's go inside, already."

They were really in a hurry to go because the girl had a private flight all to herself. The reason for this was the fact her father felt she is not ready to be mingling with other people. He fears that the sight of familiar people might trigger her memory and she might have a fit.

Whilst they relax at the private lounge, the captain of the plane and the rest of the crew introduce themselves. Elizabeth was already familiar with the captain since he was her father's private captain who works only for him. 

"You don't need to worry about that, it's my job anyways." The captain said since the girl was so apologetic the fact his vacation was cut short because of her. 

"But still..."

"Young Princess, your father only wishes for your safety. He trusts me and knows I can do a good job which I feel proud of." 

"Very well." She replied having no choice but to listen to the man. 

After a while, Elizabeth was on her way to the boarding gate to board the plane. Her personal guards and one of her father's assistance was with her along the way. 

Sam was of course with the girl, to ensure if things go wrong the girl has someone to talk to. 

When they got on the plane, the girl went to her seat and sat there quietly. She was not really in the mood and only forcefully smiled at the staff who were trying to serve her. 

In the end, Sam informed everyone to not bother the girl and if they have any concern just to ask her. 

On the way, Elizabeth was on her phone message to Jackie about her flight. Of course, Jackie was so excited that she canceled everything in order to pick up the girl. 

Jackie: [I can't wait to see you babes.]

Elizabeth places her phone away as she prepares for the flight. The captain started informing everyone that they were about to take off. 

"Sam, I'll get some sleep." She informed Sam as she grabbed a blanket and went to rest. 

After a few hours...

"Young Miss, wake up." 

Sam's voice was gentle as she whispered to the girl. The girl eventually woke up as she slowly opened her eyes. 

"What's wrong?" She yawned as she asked why she was woken up.

"We're about to arrive." Sam explained as she went back to her seat. 

Elizabeth stretched her arms in the air as she yawned more. Then her father's assistant went closer to her to inform her of what would happen once they arrived. It was more like he was explaining the protocol once they exit the airport. For they might not know how many people knew of their arrival.

"I know." Elizabeth obediently listened despite it was such an earful to be educated in such manner despite her age. 

"Very well, please do stay close to me." 

"Hmm." 

Of course, news of the girl's arrival was spread all over online. People took pictures of her before her flight which have spread and caused quite a commotion. Most topics were about:

{The Young Princess is back.}

{Where is she heading too?}

People automatically recognize her because of the people around her. Her father's assistant was one of the biggest clues. For the man was always by the almighty European King's side yet he was accompanying a girl.

"News of your departure has spread online and the report shows that reporters are waiting for you at every airport."

Elizabeth could comment about that and was just amazed. To think they don't even know which airport, she'll land, nor which country, yet people are so intrigued to waste their time for her. 

Once the plane landed and the girl grabbed her bag, Sam and her father's assistant walked by her side. A few guards walked ahead while the rest were right behind her. 

Reporters outside were all anticipating whether the girl would come out in the place they were waiting for or were they wrong. 

"Do you think she'll be here?"

"Who knows, not a single info about her flight was posted online." 

"Who would have expected to get to see the Young Princess." 

For them it was a great story since they hardly get to see her because of her family protectiveness, but little did they know that the girl had just returned. 

"Wait, isn't that?" 

A girl came down the car as she walked inside the airport, she had a few of her guards following her as well. Her appearance was the great blessing to those reporters waiting outside. 

"Wasn't the Goldsmith's heiress." 

"Yes, yes, that's her. That's Jackie Goldsmith."

Some could wait anymore as they tried to push their way inside the airport to follow the girl. But before they could even take any step further, they were stopped by the airport guards since they were already informed about the girl's arrival. 

Jackie walked in the airport with the assistance of the staff. She was able to get access inside despite she isn't flying anywhere else. But, the fact she informed the staff she is to pick up the Young Princess of the Knightley family. No one dare stop her from doing what she wants. Since, the person whom she is about to pick up is a shareholder of the airport and was the biggest investor.
