prompt: can you make chapter 3 but make it a flashback of what happened after he got his powers and ended up in the castle make it be an embarrassing event that led to him being arrested and appointed as the princess's bodyguard/knight.

------------------------------

John sat in the throne room, looking up at the queen with a mixture of shame and defiance. He had just finished recounting the events of the embarrassing incident that had led to his current predicament.

It had all started a few weeks ago, when John had first arrived at the castle. He was still getting used to his new powers and the responsibilities that came with them, and he was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

One day, while out exploring the castle, he had stumbled upon the royal gardens. It was a peaceful, serene place, and John had felt drawn to it. He had spent hours wandering the gardens, marveling at the beauty of the flowers and the tranquility of the surroundings.

But as the sun began to set, John had realized that he had lost track of time. He was supposed to be back at the castle by now, and he had no idea how to get back.

Panicking, he had tried to retrace his steps, but he only ended up getting more and more lost. Finally, in a fit of desperation, he had decided to use his powers to fly back to the castle.

He had soared over the gardens, feeling a sense of freedom and exhilaration. But as he neared the castle, he had noticed a group of people standing in the courtyard below. They had all been staring up at him in shock and horror.

John had realized too late that he had flown right over the royal wedding ceremony, causing a scene and ruining the event.

He had been arrested on the spot and brought before the queen to face punishment. And now, here he was, standing before her, awaiting her decision.

The queen looked at him for a long moment before speaking.

"John, I understand that you are still getting used to your powers and your new role in this world," she said. "And I cannot deny that your actions were reckless and thoughtless. But I also see great potential in you. You have proven yourself to be a skilled warrior and a valuable asset to our kingdom. Therefore, I am willing to offer you a second chance."

John's heart raced as the queen continued.

"I am appointing you as the bodyguard and knight of my daughter, Princess Sophia. You will serve as her personal protector and accompany her wherever she goes. I trust that you will use your powers and skills wisely and responsibly in this role."

John nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude and determination wash over him. He would not let the queen down. He would serve the princess with honor and protect her with all of his might.

And with that, John's journey as the princess's bodyguard began. It would not be an easy road, but he was ready for the challenge.

I just realized but apparently all the chapters are only roughly 500 words long even though I specified for 1000 eh whatever.
