10 Scallop

CHAPTER 10

Scallop Lucas and Clara burst into the palace's great hall. King Caleb and Queen Tasha looked up from their chess game. "What's all the fuss?" asked the startled king. Lucas reached into his pocket and wrapped his fingers around the emerald. "We have a very special present for Mother," he said excitedly.

Lucas pulled his fist out of his pocket. Then he opened his hand to reveal the emerald. Queen Tasha put her hand to her heart. "Oh, you precious, brave, wonderful boy!" she exclaimed. "It wasn't me, Mother," said Lucas. "Clara found it." "We both did," Clara said.

"It was a real royal goose chase," Lucas added. "But Clara was the one who actually found it. She's very clever, Mother."

"Thank you, Clara," said the queen. Clara curtsied. King Caleb was very grateful. "You shall receive a handsome reward," he said. "Follow me." Lucas, Clara, and Queen Tasha followed King Caleb through a heavy oak door and down a spiral stone staircase. They walked all the way to the royal stables. The king stopped in front of a stall. A beautiful brown horse with a black mane, black tail, white socks, and black hooves whinnied at them.
