Finding the Devilheart

Prologue

It was the night before the coronation of the king of the Butterfly kingdom, Celine couldn't sleep and the voices coming from the central hall were making her more and more nervous. The voices stopped and restarted again from what seemed to be her parents.
     Little Celine wanted to see what was going on, she dragged the big puffy blanket to the other side of the bed and got off. Her little naked feet touched the cold stone floor and
felt a shiver going down her spine. She saw the guard in front of her half opened door, his name was Nolac, Nolac has been serving her family for a century now, he was her first friend from the castle. And Celine didn't have many friends. Actually she had no other friend. She opened the door with a crinket making the guard to notice her.
     -Highness, why aren't you in bed? he asked with an almost worried face
     -I thought i heard something from outside. she clasped her hands together behind her back
     -Ok, i'm gonna go check, my highness, bowing in front of the little girl and winking with a smirk, leaving her alone.
     It was easy for Celine to get what she wanted from most of the people around her. Everyone saw her as a little god or as everyone called her "child of gods". Going on with her curiosity, she followed the voices that were now screaming from the council room. There were just her parents, no guards, no other councils.
      -She's too fragil for this, her mom yelled with a begging tone, the little lines on her forehead appeared again
      -She has to see world, the people wanna meet the princess, we cant take that from them, the masculine voice yelled back with a superior note in his voice, he straighened his back and looked at the women facing him like a stranger.
      -But we can, she's our daughter and i'm gonna protect her, she growled back turning her face to the other side of the room, a painting, you know what happened last time.
      -She'll descover her power, the people don't have to know everything and now she's grown. the king rolled the sleaves of his white buttoned shirt ready to take another sip of his special wine
     -What if she won't? she got closer, what if she's broken? the queen whispered as her voice broke and teares appeared in the corner of her golden eyes, rolling down her pale skin
      A touch of anger and disgust appeared in the king's look.
      -She's an Amber Child and she's my daughter, if she doesn't come to my expectations in the quickest time, she'll work twice as hard, twice as much, i know she doesnt put how much effort she should. Now dont ever say my daughter is broken.
       The voices stopped when Celine's eyes met her father's. A touch of regret appeared in his eyes as the tears were falling on the little girl's skin.
        The little princess ran thrugh the darkness of the castle and noone tried to stop her.
