Katerina's POV:

We just arrived at the castle I once called home, and I already want to leave.

It looked quite...alright. Not counting the vast amount of moss on the castle walls..The beautiful white and pink flowers I once played in, the windows to all the rooms I once put foot in. They were all still there. Waiting for me.

-------

I reluctantly got out of the carriage, while Isobel and Mary pushed each other out.

"Get Out Quickly Isobel! You're taking way too long!" Mary complained.

"Oh please Mary, do calm down. I've only just begun getting out of this stupid carriage." Isobel replied.

"Whatever."

"Actually, can we slowly, and I mean slowly, walk to the door? Or how about...we stay here? Or we go back? Yes let's go back to France." I rambled nervously.

"Katerina, you'll be fine. You've lived here once before. Don't you remember how much you loved it here?" Isobel tells me, taking hold of my hand and walking with me to the gates.

Mary took my other hand, and we all walked inside the palace gates.

Let the 'fun' begin shall we?

             ----------Time Skip----------

"Lady Katerina of Savensburg with her Court Ladies, Isobel Linhié and Mary éstrapónt have arrived your majesty." Announced a guard.

"Ooh my daughter. Where's my precious figlia*? Is she alright? Ohh Katerina, how much I've missed you, you wouldn't understand. You've probably haven't spared your own, Ill, but beautiful, mother a single thought while you were off, what did you call it? 'Exploring the wonders of the world' and I've been here worried about you. Tsk tsk, but that's all fine, you're here!" My mother, Queen Asterily, shouted across the throne room. *figla means daughter in Italian.*

"Erm, your majesty, sorry to impose in your happiness, but you shouldn't do that type of movement, nor should you be exceeding you're limit. You're still under extensive care.." A royal guard warned my mother.

"Hm, I suppose you are right. Escort Katerina to me." She ordered, her tone became serious.

"No need. I have, you know..these incredible things called... Legs." I Called out.

"Of course My Lady. I'm very sorry." The guard replied.

"Its alright. You may be excused."

The guard left the room. It was now Isobel, Mary, My mother, and me, left alone in the room.

I made my way to my mother. Still hand-in-hand with Isobel and Mary.

"Hello...mother." I said, blankly.

"Why so serious? Are you uncomfortable? Unhappy? Is it too hot in here? I'll call Lucille? LUCI--"

"No I'm fine. Its just um..do you not remember?" I interrupted her.

How could she be talking to me as If it were all 'fine' ?

Does she not remember how rude I was to her the day I left? She remembers the words I used as an excuse to leave..so she has to remember..

Narrator POV:

"KATERINA! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING YOUNG LADY? IT'S CORONATION DAY!" shouted Queen Asterily.

"LEAVE ME ALONE. I'm not doing the whole 'Queen' Thing! I told you this multiple times, I was ignored!" Katerina shouted, running to her escape carriage.

"Please katerina, just attend the coronation, after you're crowned queen, you can leave a regent and explore the world!"

"That's ridiculous! I won't be able to escape the duties that come with being Queen! I want to be free." Katerina shouted. Getting inside her escape carriage.

"Get out of that carriage or I promise you Katerina I wi-"

"Will what? You're threatening me now? Low move Mother. Not very queen like of you. Maybe that's..maybe thats why my father died. To get away from you!" Katerina shouted, immediately slapping her mouth.

"Mother I didn't-"

"No. I understand. Goodbye Katerina. Have fun on your little exploration across the world, Your father would be disappointed if he were here Katerina, and you know it. But he's not here. You know who will be here? I'll be here. Alone. Sick. Ill. Ashamed. But waiting for your return. When you come back, don't expect open arms. You've resigned your right to the Italian Throne." Queen Asterily said, walking back inside the castle.

"Mom I..didn't mean it.."

          -------End Of Flashback-------

"Katerina? Are you listening?" My mother asked.

"Hm? Oh, uhm. Yes?."

"We were talking about the throne you need to reobtain." Mary whispers to me.

"Oh thanks."

"Yeah, but pay attention?"

"Yeah yeah."

"Alright! We'll get to business in the morning. Let's go rest shan't we? Maybe tomorrow will be more exciting than ditching last minute to go 'exploring'?" Asterily tells me with a bad look.

I knew she remembered. That little cheeky bit-

My thoughts were interrupted by Isobel,

"Can we begin now? Katerina wants to return to France." Said Isobel, looking at me.

Thanks.

"I suppose we could...Though I don't understand, Homesick to France? An Italian heir? Hm.." Mumbled my mother.

"Meet in the garden in 20 minutes.? Does that sound alright to you ladies?"

"Mhm."

"Sure."

"Alright, see you there." Asterily said with a devious smirk.

Urgh I know that face.

This'll be fun.
