Where the forest lies

Princess in Love

I quickly get changed into a skirt and white sleeveless top, letting my hair out. I put my tiara on and walk out of my room to see my mum walking towards my door. We both look at each other for a little bit, wondering who is to speak first. "Your father is downstairs." She said. I looked at her in fear. "No nickname?" I asked. She looked at me with guilt in her eyes, stepping aside for me walk. I quietly walk past, wondering what it was that I did wrong.

I walk down the stairs and into the throne room, my father sat on his throne with a disappointed look on his face. "Edward has told me he has spotted you going into the forest." He said dryly. My whole body stiffens, my e/c eyes avert his. "Why would you sneak out of the palace at such a serious time y/n?" He said, raising his voice. "It was my first time going out there, I swear. I just wanted to get away from everything." I lied. My father looking away from me in disappointment. "I'll line guards around the edge of the forest." He said sternly. "What father no! It was one time I promise I won't do it again!" I exclaimed. "I'm sorry but you are not to be trusted. Now go back upstairs and don't come back down till supper is ready." He said, pointing to the stairs. I stare at him for a couple of seconds, my brain not knowing what to say. I quickly turn, stomping up the stairs. I quickly walk down the hall and into my room, slamming the wooden door shut. I walk over to the window, seeing my Edward assign guards in front of the forest entrance. I shut my curtains, walking over to my bed and falling on it. 

I turned on my back and stared at the ceiling for a bit, trying my best to come up with a plan to meet Lacey the next day. When my eyes opened again, it was completely dark. I turned on a lamp and looked at the big grandfather clock in my room to see it was 8 at night. One of the maids opened the door, walking into my room and over to me. I looked up at her. "Miss, your dinner is ready downstairs." She said, stepping aside for me. I rub the sleep out of my eyes yawning and getting up. I brush my hair, walking slowly down the hall way. I sigh out, knowing that my parents wouldn't be here tonight. 

I went down the stair way and into the dinning room. It had the usual marble flooring, a big chandelier in the middle of the room. There was multiple long windows along the one of the walls, exposing the darkness of the outside world. I sigh out. Sitting at the long wooden table. One of the butlers came out with my dinner, leaving as soon as he placed the plate down. I push the food around, not bothering to get any of it on my utensils. I look up at the lonely room, the table seeming to be longer than usual. I sigh out, pushing my plate away and leaving the room in defeat. 

As I begin to walk out the dinning room I see Edward walking over to me. "I see you're awake. How was dinner milady?" He asked me. "Good." I responded, walking past him. "Before you go mistress, the king and queen have invited you into their room." He said. I looked back at him. "More like ordered..." I whisper to myself. "Tell them I'm not interested." I said, turning around and continuing on. "B-but, milady!" Edward yelled out to me. I continue walking, ignoring his call out to me. "Oh dear..." He said to himself, quickly walking over to the parents room. 

I go over to the main sitting room, finding myself going back over to the piano. I rest my hands on the keys, not pressing any of them. The room was completely dark expect for the moonlight coming in from the big glass door. I look out the door, getting the random urge to walk outside. I slowly get up and walk towards the door in my long robe. I push the door open, taking a step outside. I started walking down the gravel path, the moonlight being my only source of light. I take a deep breath in, allowing the cold breeze to blow lightly on my face. I sit down on one of the benches, listening only to the wind and silence. I close my eyes thinking back to earlier today with Lacey. I smile a bit, trying my best to still think of a way to meet her tomorrow. Suddenly I got an idea. "This just might be crazy enough to work..." I whisper to myself, quickly rushing back inside.
