A servant approached the carriage as you slowly stepped down onto the gravel only to stare up at the old familiar castle you had missed so much.
"You look like a changed woman" the servant bowed politely as their eyes scanned you subtly.
"Thank you" you blushed a little as you were lead up the stairs toward the enormous doors that looked more like heavenly gates.
They slowly opened and you heard the sound of a high pitched squeal.
You had little time to react as you were both hit and engulfed at the same time as you and Charlotte tumbled to the floor.
You were nearly hyperventilating she had scared the hell out of you but you were soon both giggling like children on the floor as you two were at last reunited.
"It's good to see you again princess y/n" another voice stated as you both gasped and quickly got back to your feet regaining your professionalism upon hearing the king's voice from afar.
You gave him a courteous bow in response.
"I'm grateful to be welcomed back, your majesty"
"I presume you and Charlotte will both be attending our annual hunting event early morning?"
Neither you nor Charlotte looked forward to seeing men chase down and kill foxes however the two of you were excited just to have an excuse to be together again.
"Of course your majesty, thank you for extending your invitation" you spoke politely.
Charlotte stared at you wide eyed. Your behaviours had completely changed. Normally you'd find a way to even disrespect the king himself. The only thing that saved you in the past was your status as your mother's daughter.
"And how is your mother?" He asked on cue since he hadn't seen the queen for quite some time either.
"She's been occupied as of late. She's centered entirely on arranging to send out troops for the oncoming war" you explained knowing that's what he really wanted to hear.
He seemed to give a small nod satisfied with your response and walked off leaving you and his daughter to continue.
You hadn't noticed but Charlotte had been eyeing you up and down in disbelief.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" She burst out with a startled laugh to which you lost all your serious composure.
"I don't know anymore" you admitted sheepishly as she walked a circle around you and lifted up your hair playfully.
"Even your hair has gotten long, you always used to cut it to irritate your mother" she laughed.
"You look beautiful with it, but I can't say that I minded the short hair since you suit both" she giggled.
You swatted her with your little fan and she suddenly ran off so that you'd feel the urge to chase her.
All that training to behave like queens went out the window when the two of you were in each other's company. Even the King just rolled his eyes and let it happen so long as no one were around to witness it.
