Visiting The Master

Everyone seemed anxious at my orders but they had no other choice but to oblige by it so they lowered their heads and went away. I was in no mood to entertain that clingy James at this moment so I decided to visit the master because he could not be avoided forever. Our Master was the most intelligent and trustworthy person who helped the royals make the decisions, tell them what was wrong and right, he kept a check on the rules and from time to time he would go into deep meditation for continuous months.

He had made the decision of my marriage and selected that man because it was an ancient rule the a princess can only have the throne once she was married, only then could she became the queen. He had been helping the royals for so long and as he was the peacemaker, I knew I had to visit him to receive my punishment but now that I was going to him I had my doubts about him. I knew he had always been doing good but the person he forced me to get married to was not the right one and he was not supposed to force in the first place. I felt that he was betraying us so I thought of having my guard up against him and keeping an eye on him was what I had to do.

Right now I didn't have any prove against him so the only option for me was to follow the rules and show him some respect by visiting him. Although I doubted myself that I would be able to keep myself calm but then again I had no other choice. Before anyone told him that I was back and didn't go to show him respect, it was better to visit him.

I knocked at his door and one of his old discipline led me in, he greeted me as he was had seem me before I left so he was familiar with me. He looked at me in shock as he said "Princess, it's a surprise to see you here."

The way he reacted made me feel that he really didn't want me to be here and my suspicion grew even more stronger, I knew something was wrong. I had a thought that maybe it had something to do with master changing his disciples all of a sudden just after the accident and Ethan's death. It was a suspicious thing too but at that time he had said that it was for the safety of the place after what had happened so everyone believed him. I still had my doubts so we had a little fight before I left but now that I was here, I had to make sure that this place, my homeland could be safe once again.

I had decided to be nice to the master and show him that I trust him completely so that I could find what was wrong. I smiled at the person in front of me and said "Long time, no see. Is the master doing fine and is he still angry with me."

The person in front of me regained his composure as he smiled "Master is fine and he has been waiting for your return, he is not angry at you and just wants you to be back."

I nodded my head "Take me to him."

He nodded and went into a room while I quietly followed behind him, he made me sit and said "Just wait a moment, I will call the master here."

I nodded as he went in and within a few minutes the master was in front of me with a wide smile on his face. I looked at him and realized that he looked younger than he was, if I consider in human age, he was in his thirties but the person in front of me looked like he was in his twenties and the way he looked at me was different too. I hoped that I was having illusions but I could see the lust in his eyes which was unacceptable because the master was a pure soul without any feelings and who could make rational decision, his emotional level was higher than anyone in the world and the things like lust and love or anger or any other emotion were not the thing that could affect them. Perhaps I was imagining things or I just wished I was but I bowed my head and greeted him "Hello Master"

He placed his hand on my head and I raised it then I looked at him and said "I am sorry for running away back then and speaking against you but I was scared and not in the right mind to handle everything. Now that I am back, I will accept any punishment that you have for me."

He stepped closer to me and for some reason I felt that he did not have the positive energy of the master. I bit my lower lip and told myself "Stop being paranoid, it's just that you are back after a long time that you are feeling weird but he is the master what could possibly happen to him, he is the strongest person ever in this world."

He placed his hands on my shoulders and said "I was at fault too for forcing you at that time and not considering your feelings but nothing like that will happen again. I am just glad that you have returned and I am more than happy. Since both of us were at fault, I will skip the punishment this time but you have to know that it is for this one time only."

I smiled and nodded my head "Thank you, Master."

He smiled and let go of me "Now you go and take charge of the castle, I will visit soon."

I smiled and nodded my head "I won't make any mistakes this time."

Saying this I turned my head to leave and was escorted by his disciple to the door. I felt like the security around this place was way too tight and from what I knew Master never liked keeping so many people or so much security at his place.

I stood there and looked at his place for a while and made a decision that I had to sneak in and find out what was wrong. As I stood there someone from behind me said angrily "You are finally here so you still remember this place."
