3 I Will Let You Out the Castle

"Things seem to be interesting," Sis Jera thought before going inside the room. Princess Railey hides her hand under her pillow then realizing that it should be the broken part of the bed that should be hidden. "Uh, I can explain?" the Princess said, getting out of her bed then stands; she looks at the floor, afraid of what Sis Jera might think. "I understand what happened, Princess. But can I ask you when did you found out about your ability?" Princess Railey was not expecting to hear what her maid said. She thought that Sis Jera will run out of fear. She looks at her who is smiling then answered, "I found it out after I woke up from coma, while I was playing in the garden, I got dizzy and when I gathered myself, I saw the flower pots destroyed. Then, I learned that it was me when I was trying to run away from here and when I touched a part of the vase, it broke." She interlocked her hands while her thumbs brush against her skin. "Aw, that was you, I remembered seeing that broken vase. Anyways, I just checked on you. Later, the king will talk to you later. " Sis Jera said while touching the broken part of the bed, it looks like it needs to be changed. It will not hold the weight of the Princess any longer, "Enjoy your time here, I will prepare your food." Sis Jera pats the shoulder of the Princess before leaving. "So, she knew? Does the King know about my ability? Is that why he won't let me go out?" She sat on her bed but it suddenly moved down a bit and creek, jolting her. "This needs to be changed," she whispers while tracing the wood carvings in her bed. "But how did it happen? Why can't I control it? I've been practicing ever since I found out." She looks at her hand, "Well, I better make use of these hands and draw the beautiful scenery." then went on to take her drawing materials.

"The meisters are here," the guard said to the King who is looking at the destroyed part of the city, "Let them in," he ordered. The wide doors opened, three old men appeared wearing Priest-like black gowns while holding staffs of different designs. "King," they greet, kneeling down, "We are ready for her." They said in unison. "You should be, she is much stronger than expected. Her eyes turned to yellow showing signs of level 3 Telekinesis and level 2 Strength. The maid reported that she was able to break things ever since her memory was altered." The Meisters seem to be amazed and bothered at the same time, discussing the impossibilities that may happen in the future if she is left without guidance and training. "We will take her when the Sun rises tomorrow, see that you will clear her mind to avoid any conflict," one of the Meisters said, "We will take our leave." They stand up, bowing before the King to show respect and left. "How will I clear her mind, Felicia? How can you still smile whenever I shout at you before?" The king remembered his most favorable woman, his first love, his dilemma. "Call Princess Railey." He ordered the guard, then walked back and forth to find out how to calm the Princess who is obviously angry with him. After a few minutes, she arrived, crossed arms and frown all over her face. "Good thing that Jera is with her, she may be able to calm her down," the King thought, "But to let her hear our conversation might be dangerous." He walks slowly towards Princess Railey who walks back with his every footstep, "Please, Princess." He reaches his hand out to Princess Railey who suddenly covered her face with her arm, her action pierced the King's heart. He hurt his most precious gem, he hurt his daughter who is now angry with him and afraid at the same time. "Please, hear me out." He said, holding Princess' Railey's hands, "I may let you go now. I will let you out the castle." And with that, Princess Railey smiles, the spark in her eyes returned and she held her father's hand.
