The Castle

I looked at the doors for a long time as many emotions ran through my heart and I felt like crying but before those emotions could take me down James put an arm around my waist as he spoke "Let's go"

I looked at him and remembered the reason for coming here so I took in a deep breath and nodded my head, finally agreeing.

I took a step into the castle but unexpectedly everything was in the same order just the way I had left it. I thought that without the owner of the place everything was bound to change and become different, unexpectedly it was not true. I was the only owner left of this place and no one could take over except me or if I gave my position willingly to someone.

Now that I returned I realized the consequences of disappearance. As I looked around the castle, I realized that although everything was the same, this place was a total mess. The security was so poor that I entered and no one even noticed but that made sense, they had nobody to protect so what would they do of the security but then again there were many other important things in this place.

I sensed that my absence had made this beautiful place chaotic and now I regretted my actions, how could I have not thought that I was responsible for a whole land but then again I was trying to escape all this and if I were to time travel, I would end up doing that again because I know that at that time I was not even able to hold myself up so how could I think about supporting this place. I would have brought it into a worse chaos than it already was, anyways none of that mattered now because I had decided to come back I knew it was going to be difficult to win over the people I abandoned but I was on a mission and when I set my mind on something, no matter how hard the path was, I had to get the thing and that was all that mattered at this moment.

The staff had not changed at all, not a single person and I didn't intend to change them but they had to be taught a lesson to do their jobs properly. After entering this place I suddenly felt that I had grown much stronger and it was not just the feeling I felt all the things inside me healing and I could feel the energy fill my body. I truly belonged to this place, now subconsciously the aura of the princess that I was of this place filled my mind and I stepped further into the castle this time making way to my room. I had completely forgotten that I had someone with me but it did not matter because he was following me himself without disturbing my thoughts. At least he was sensible enough to not disturb me while I was reminiscing my past, to be honest, he was always sensible, it was just me who was unreasonably mean to him but I was never going to admit that in front of him.

I knew he was really a nice person moreover he treated me so well but I also knew that whatever I was doing was for his own good. With this thought in mind I made sure not to get distracted by him no matter what he did. As I reached the door of my room, I was blocked by the guards, these were some new people that I had never seen before. I appreciated this that although the entrance of the castle was not protected, my room was which contained all the important things but right now I decided to see how strong the security was and how were they going to protect the room.

I could have just called the keeper of the place, it was the person who had the responsibility to be loyal to the queen and in my case the future queen, he was supposed to protect this place in my absence and had to do whatever I said or he would die if he was not loyal. Off course you could not go against the royalty but he had to be loyal with his life to the royalty. In short if he knew I was here, he would have punished these guards from blocking me but I wanted to see if they were capable enough to protect what was inside.

Before I could say anything James stepped closer and said "What are you waiting for, why don't you..."

I glared at him before he could finish speaking and spill something out that was unnecessary at this moment and ruin my plan of testing them but I didn't expect him to actually understand what I meant and stop talking. Although I was impressed I was obviously not going to praise him so I simply heaved a sigh of relief as if to tell him that he was an idiot putting me into trouble and this time we were just saved. After that I ignored him and looked at the guards and then with a smile said "Please let me in"

They didn't budge nor did they look at me and at this moment I thought that if they were to find out who I was , they would be trembling. I felt like laughing at this thought but I suppressed the urge to do that and this time I seductively placed a hand on one of the guard's arm and said in the same seductive tone "Come on, do you really think I look like someone who will steal anything moreover if you don't trust me come in with me, we can even see how comfortable the bed of the princess is"

The other guard was shocked too and I could see their expressions get tense as if they were making a very important decision and I just hoped they would not give in, at the same time I also felt someone glaring at my back as if he wanted to punish me so bad and I knew that James was having the hardest to control himself.
