A witch's curse

Since there was a royal library in the castle, he told her that he will take her with him to see around. 

What more, only the King could step into the royal library so to be there, Esme had to go with him. 

And he had felt so victorious for being the King at that moment. 

He finally found a way to coax her into calling him father but then his own people had to betray him. 

He glared at the royal physician again, ''You are not going to the human world for a year.'' 

The old man was aggrieved. He still liked it there where he just flew around like a butterfly without needing to pretend to be noble.

While the King and his right-hand man stood outside the library and talked, Esme shifted her attention back to the books.

Her footsteps slowed down in front of a particular black book that had linings of a butterfly on top of it. And there were also carvings of stars in the corner.
