#Excerpt from The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo by Holy Ghost Writer #SherlockHolmes #BookWorm

After reuniting with Haydee and Mercedes, as well as meeting his two new daughters, Jana, by Haydee, and Lextra, by Mercedes, Dantes has never been happier. The house takes on a joyful air. Dantes spends weeks playing with his babies and making love to his wives, who are overjoyed at his return.

“I am so blessed,” he thinks as he strokes Lextra’s fine hair. “And so torn by what is now my duty. I want to remain with my family, but I must do the bidding of Mother Wisdom. It is for the children that I must go to America and find a plantation.” He has already sent scouts to look around and will soon follow, once he receives word that they have found a suitable plantation. In the meantime, though, he vows to focus on his daughters and his wives.

Jana is the outgoing daughter. She has a captivating smile like her mother and dark hair. Lextra is more fair-skinned with light hair and seems to babble constantly. Dantes spends as much time with them as possible, playing on a huge blanket in the garden. Haydee and Mercedes are never far away, talking and sewing their brightly colored hemp-fabrics as decoration for the nurseries. They know their husband will be leaving soon, and both of them have asked to go with him; they cannot bear another long separation.

The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo is a continuation of The Count of Monte Cristo (Book I), related through the voice of Sherlock Holmes and The Sultan of Monte Cristo (Book II). It includes exhilarating new adventures, characters, and ideas, carrying the reader past book I and II and into book III of an ever-expanding new series based on the classic.

Those who have already had the pleasure of reading The Sultan of Monte Cristo will certainly appreciate the unique way in which the Holy Ghost Writer has expanded the original story without the help of anyone (except perhaps from the ghosts of Dumas and Doyle).

In addition to comprising a 3rd sequel to The Count of Monte Cristo, The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo serves as a prequel to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo by Holy Ghost Writer @SultanOfSalem

After the much-needed bath, Dantes puts on his dressing gown and lies down on his old bed, which he finds deeply comforting. He has played and traveled hard over the past few busy years, and he knows it has worn on him; there is more silver in his hair than before. He hopes to slow down soon, for he loves his new home with his family close by and misses them terribly. The sweet, baby faces of his daughters loom in the darkness of his closed eyes. How blessed he is! He resolves to enjoy Paris while he is here, though. He wants to go to the opera while he is in town and also visit a few of his favorite haunts. Finally, he falls fast asleep, only to awaken to a servant telling him the meal is nearly ready.
The servant helps Dantes dress and leads him to the dining room.
“The table looks divine,” Dantes says, thinking how nice it is to be out of his traveling clothes and into something more refined. He looks at the spread before him—fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as two huge pheasants with mint jelly. The yeasty smell of homemade bread fills the air and makes his mouth water.
“I hope this pleases you, sir,” Valentine tells him. “I know the food in America is quite different. Perhaps you have become too accustomed to their fare to appreciate ours.”
“Oh, nothing can compare to a good French meal, although American food has its own charms. When the baby is old enough to travel, you will all have to visit my estate in Georgia. It’s a different world, but one I believe you will enjoy,” Dantes tells them.
Just then, he hears the creak of a wheelchair. In comes M. Noirtier. Dantes rushes over to him and bids him hello.
“My old friend!” he says. “My heart fills with joy to see you—let us enjoy this magnificent feast as well as one another’s company.”
The next morning, Dantes plans to visit more of his old friends, at least those who still reside in Paris. A carriage awaits him in the hazy light of dawn, and he is flooded with memories as he drives through the streets. He wishes Mercedes and Haydee could be at his side, but knows his daughters are far too young for such travel; it would exhaust them.
