"Where are we going?" I asked 

"Somewhere special" he answers 

"why won't you tell me?"

"Becuase it's a surprise" he laughs "Come on princess," He says as we got to a long corridor with a tall door at the end of the corridor I knew the corridor well, my parents sealed this whole corridor off years ago when I was a very little girl, due to a storm that ht the coast one winter. He pushed the door open the revealing the large gothic library with walls of books, ladders on silver tracks, the grand fireplace lit burning sweetly, the tall windows casting large shadows of light in the arched patters of the windows and the purple curtains, The impressive old sofa's and chairs, the large interwoven rug of the flowers and tree branches of my family spanning back generations taking up so much of the stone floor 

"Wha- how.... how did you do this?" I asked "it has been sealed up since I was six"

"you use to talk about it, a lot. once we took over I had the boys working on it for you, fixing the roof, restoring everything for you" he explained taking my hands "I want you to be happy here with me, be my queen. when I can I will give you the world, but for now, this place is yours, a single page of a book rips tell me and I'll have it fixed back to perfection for you princess" 

"You did this for me?"

"Of course I did. just to see my little princess smile" He smiled giving my head a kiss

"Ohh thank you! thank you! thank you!" I smiled hugging him tightly he laughed giving me a tight hug too 

"Aww your welcome princess" He cooes stroking my hair "Go on, you enjoy your library, I've got some stuff to do with the boys okay?" he says pushing me towards the chairs 

"okay" I giggled

"good girl, any problems you call for me," He says giving me a kiss and going off to do something else in the castle.
