16 What's his plan

Bella had been reading when something just seemed off. There was a mind reader! Oh that's good. "Hey get in here butler."

"Yes Princess Bella?" The butler bows as he talks.

"Get me ready. I need to have a conversation with the King about privacy," Bella make a clicking sound to seem annoyed.

"Sorry I don't understand my lady, " He stood from his bow and looked at her.

"There is a mind reader attempting to go through my memories. I need to be ready now to go talk to the King. Need any more clarification butler?" Bella was good at pretending but she hated acting this way. She wanted to be a bratty royal that maybe the King wouldn't see as fit to marry but that wouldn't happen.

"No my lady. Let me grab a lady in waiting for you, " He bows again but before he leaves I

Bella sound mad.

"Make it fast! " Bella didn't, want one of those ladies in waiting to get ready so she starts herself. She did an extravagant look to be a woah factor when she walked in. All eyes have to be on her. Finally the lady in waiting came rushing in. "Get me the most extravagant dress to go with my makeup. I need all eyes on me," Bella was speaking calmly but with edge in it.

The lady picked out a very good dress to go with Bella's makeup. It was a bright red dress with a jeweled top. Oh all eyes would be on her and exactly what she wanted as she threw a royal brat tantrum. "Oh yes that will be perfect. Good job, I'm impressed."

"I'm glad my lady. Would you like me to get more extravagant dresses made for you?" The lady curtsey and Bella smiled.

"Yes get the best seamstress on it and get them to me as fast as you can. I want at least ten, " Bella snaps and the dress is put on her. "Okay off you go, " She waved her hand so the lady in waiting went.

Bella walked the halls with the guard. She took long strides and held herself like a queen wanting blood. People who looked at her didn't get a pleasant smile but a daring glance. She got to the throne room and took a breath before pushing the door open.

"You dare have a mind reader try to go through my memories! " Bella shouted as she walked in scaring half the guard.

"Princess Bella what a way to bless us with your presence, " The King also looked very shocked.

Good, Bella thought, she was hitting a spot that shouldn't be. "Stop your damn mind reader before I find him and stop him myself. I don't need my magic to harm a useless mind reader!" Bella was still shouting and even the guards look terrified.

"I'm sorry Bella I don't know what you speak of. I would never have a mind reader do that to you, " The King was a terrible lair.

"Don't lie to me. Also your guards are scared of a Princess. You might want to see to that, " Bella points at the youngest of them and moves her finger to call him closer. He nervously walks over and bows to Bella. "Look at him. So scared I'm going to hurt him. I only hurt those that lie to me or invade my privacy and right now you are doing both! "

"Bella quit this tantrum. What is your problem? " The King was standing now and there was an audience at the doors Bella left open and she laughed.

"My problem? You think you can search my memory! You even found my favorite books so get him out or I will do it myself, " Bella began tapping her foot and looked at everyone in the room. There was one that was more scared than the others. So much so Bella could basically sense it. "You cowering in the corner, do you value your life?"

"Y-yes my lady.." he was probably twenty five and oh Bella was actually having fun with this, scaring a grown man.

"You are the mind reader are you not?"

" Bella that's enough!" the King's voice boomed through the throne room as he went and grabbed her. "You are going back to your chambers! "

"I don't have to listen to you. I will be Queen one day might as well just let the people get used to me now, " Bella pulls her arm from his grip which caused a gasp. The king was strong but not that strong. "You, mind reader. You better get out of my head and stay out you understand? I know your face and don't think I'm afraid to do something, " Bella turned back to the king and smiled.

"Since when are you such a brat? " He growled into her ear. She just laughed.

"Since I'm your Queen. Why not be a tyrant Queen alongside a tyrant King? Was that not what you wanted?" Bella titled her head but still laughed a little.

"Ugh whatever. Go back to your chambers and stay there until you are summoned." The king went back to his throne and I looked at the empty one next to him.

"I am going to take a walk," Bella spun on her heel and the crowd by the door quickly moved out of the way. When she walked out she heard the whispers. "What didn't think a Princess could be so cruel?" Bella asked someone in the crowd.

"We've heard of how your parents rule and didn't expect this of their daughter, " one was willing to speak. Surprising.

"I'm not from this time. A Queen needs to put her foot down at some point and I do that with mind readers. I hate them, " Bella says simply before turning and walking out to the gardens. It was cold so her butler quickly rushed a cloak around her shoulders.

She walked outside and let out a sigh. It was cold outside and Bella could see her breath in the air. It was still a beautiful day.

Bella smiled as walked around. The guard kept his distance and she finally stopped with a great view of the gate. She knew Prompto would come and save her one day. After a second of distraction she felt a person in her head again but it's wasn't the one before. It was familiar so Bella quickly went into the castle and into her room. She knew who it was. It was Gladio. He was a telepath that could look at recent memories.

Once in her room she laughed quietly to herself and smiled. "Hello Gladio, " she spoke quiet but he could hear her.

"Princess Bella oh you are okay. Prompto has been worried sick since you made him leave without you. Everyone is safe. We just need to get you out, " Gladio said back with great relief in his voice.

"I am making myself look like a royal brat and would be an insufferable Queen. It's quite fun actually," Bella takes her cloak off and goes to the memory for Gladio to see and he chuckles a little.

"I am going to try and get Prompto connected with you... He called Jake and let him now of the situation and let's just say Jake is very mad at you and at Prompto for leaving you behind."

"I don't expect any less from Jake. I am glad everyone is out safe and sound. How is Prompto doing with my power?" but once she asked that question she felt the presence of another and knew it was Prompto.

"I am doing fine my lady. I am struggling a little to control it because it obviously is a lot stronger than mine. I will be okay but how are you?" Prompto's voice went through my head and I smiled.

"I've been-" Bella was cut off by loud knocking and she quickly whispered. "Listen to the conversation. I will get a timeline," and she walks to the door and opens it.

"My dear, we need to talk after what happened earlier," the King's voice gave it away that he was beyond angry with Bella's little show.

"Oh Arnold, you must understand that I have my limits and one of your little mind readers is passed that limit, " Bella steps aside and allows the King to walk in.

"Yes but you can't go threatening my guards in public. You are terrorizing my court and I can't have that from my bride!" He yelled loudly but it didn't faze Bella.

"Then make me stop oh powerful King. One little girl shouldn't be able to cause so much trouble, " Bella laughs and when he takes a step forward so does Bella. But he can't touch her for some reason. "Scared of me too? See why I'm going to be an amazing Queen one day."

"You'll be the Queen here Bella, " He finally grabs her arm but she easily pulls if away so this time he grabs both her shoulders and smiles. "You think you are so tough and ruthless but you haven't seen me mad. You need to be a good little bride and stop being such a trouble maker."

"Oh Im not scared of you Arnold. I am far from it actually, " Bella turns and twists his arms together before grabbing one. "Don't threaten your lovely bride. I know I can't kill you but I will certainly make your life a living hell if you touch me again."

"Oh I'm sure you will but I'll just keep you locked up."

"And for how long can you do that?" Bella doesn't rather care if she is locked up.

"Three months is our wedding date so that's how long. Maybe in your time trapped here you'll learn to behave, " and he stormed out but not before hearing Bella laugh.

"Three months is long enough to get out of here right, " she whispers once she is alone again.

"I will have you out in one my lady. I'm also going to deal with that King for how he just manhandled you, " Prompto let out a low grumble and that actually scared Bella.

"No need to bother with him. As long as I don't see a change in the future it's all okay and right now I don't. I believe in you Prompto, I really do."

"I know my lady. I won't let you down like last time. Those guards should have known better than to touch you," Prompto was quite upset with it.

"Ah yeah I'm feisty when I need to be. Anyways you guys keep me informed on your planning I'm going to read."

"Will do my lady." Prompto's presence was gone and that made Bella a little sad.

"Bella if at any point you need me I'll keep the connection. I will pay attention for my name okay?"

"Got it Gladio. Thank you."
