Erika pulled out the brand new letter she received from her Majesty . This time she didn't go and collect it from the post office, it came to her home. "The queen herself! "- she squealed with delight . It had been a while since she received a letter from her Majesty. Erika was getting disappointed every time she went to the post office looking for a secret mail from her Majesty. For the last three months, Mr Winters and his colleagues said they didn't have any reply mail from the Queen . Erika was certain, the queen was just busy . But as the months passed by ,her hopes we're dimming. And then suddenly ,one day coming back from her school, her Mother handed her a letter with a strange expression. Erika couldn't believe it, it was from the Queen .
"Finally!"- Erika exclaimed
" Who is it from Erika"- her mother asked
" It's from the Queen, she's replying to my thoughts on making music an optional subject from school"- Erika said .
Annoyed her mother shook her head and muttered -" how did she become my child?"
" Well it's not for you to decide how I become , every individual is different, we might look Simi... " - her mother hushed her and told her to go-to her room.
Erika ran to her room and looked at the letter. This time it was different, the seal was different, the envelope felt heavier , certainly new stationary . She opened it and found a rich, thick , creamy paper instead of the one she usually received in the past
" Dear Miss Shepard,
I apologise for not writing sooner. One has to take care of the worldly affairs and it's unfortunate that I was not able to find time to reply to your brilliant mail.
I have thought about you and decided that your views need to addressed soon. Hence I have appointed Mr Smith Walter to take care of your mails.As a brilliant child like yourself, I have assigned him with the duties of being your mentor as well.
You may now address all your mails to him.
From the Queen of England.
"
She felt her heart sink. Although she was trilled at the thought of having a mentor , it was not the queen, why would Mr Walter care about her mails and who was he?
But one must obey the queen. So Erika wrote to her newly appointed mentor,she introduced herself and expressed how happy she was to have a real mentor .
His response came a week later. As she read, her disappointment was replaced with a sudden flush of adrealine ,she jumped from her chair ,rolled on her floor, ran out and rolled on the grass. The little girl was back on her chirpy mood.
Thus began a long series of letters, long or short but always interesting, always fulfilling and motivating. Mr Smith Walter had become her friend, her mentor whom she could discuss her mind .
One day Erika received her mail directly from Mr Pitts who casually asked her whom it was from
"My best friend"- Erika said proudly. " All the way from London".
Mr Pitts smiled and walked out knowing he had successfully completed his quest.
